Even after 20 years, I still remember this charming film. BRING OUT THE DVD!
I saw this charming film on the recommendation of my brother in law. A film about a pope who gets locked out? Eeeehhhhhhhh, I dunno. My husband and I watched it and were absolutely charmed. We have been looking for a DVD version for the last few years to add it to ...

Tom Conti, Kelly McGillis

CBS/FOX, 1991

Tom Conti is amazing
Tom Conti is truly amazing in this under-rated, little-seen gem. Backed by the equally amazing Roberts Blossom (who has never given a better performance), this sweet and sad movie will keep you laughing right up to the tragic but inevitable conclusion. A Must See!

Shirley Valentine

Pauline Collins, Tom Conti

Paramount, 1996

Shirley is Lovely
This is one of the most wonderful stories of self actualization I have ever sen. It has humor, love, resentment, anger, regret, sadnesss, and finally redemption. Although many would consider this a "chick-flick", I think there is a lesson forus husbands too...keep the ...

Duellists

Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel

Paramount, 1994

Add my five to the list
This is a GREAT film. Buy it, watch it -- again and again. Someone said it is based on a story by Joseph Conrad. I am not sure of this, but I do know there is good reason to believe that this story, or something very much like, it happened in real life. Most people ...
