A Season for Miracles - Hallmark Hall Of Fame

Carla Gugino, Kathy Baker

Hallmark, 2000

outstanding family movie
This is one (affirmative) family movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat on the first viewing. Will they be caught? Will the children be taken away from their aunt and given into the care of strangers? The fact that the man interested in the aunt is the ...

Bizet - Carmen / Maazel, Migenes, Domingo

Julia Migenes, Plácido Domingo

RCA/Columbia, 1992

one of the most beautiful versions of Carmen I have seen......
This 1983 version of Bizet's Carmen, directed by the great Italian filmmaker, Franco Zeferelli, is wonderfully done. We really don't see enough of the great soprano, Julia Migenes, who is seen here as the title character, opposite the marvelous Placido Domingo, as Don ...

Beast With Five Fingers

Robert Alda, Andrea King

MGM (Warner), 1998

Peter Lorre is indeed one of a kind!!
A superb and atmospheric early horror film with fine acting, super effects, tight script and haunting soundtrack. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the fantastic horror score by the great Max Steiner. Lorre is in top form and the severed hand effects(in most ...

Grapes of Wrath (1940)

Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell

20th Century Fox, 1998

Hard Times
My father was born in Oklahoma in 1923 . His family left Oklahoma during the dust bowl for Arizona . This was his favorite movie as it reminded him of his childhood . I've watched this movie several times with my dad and its an all time classic of Henry Fonda's .

The Silver Chalice

Virginia Mayo, Pier Angeli

Warner Studios, 1996

New-Bayreuth comes to Judea
Of all the religious epics of the '50's this is one of the few worthy of repeated viewings. Newman and the lovely Pier Angeli in their first screen roles (and a very brief appearence of Natalie Wood as a blond childhood version of Virginia Mayo!). But it is Jack ...

Phantom Tollbooth

Butch Patrick, Mel Blanc

MGM (Warner), 1992

Phantom Tollbooth
This is probably one of the best animated movies ever. My 3 boy's who are now in there late teen's early 20's loved this movie when they were toddlers. We saw it on cartoon network in the late 80's early 90's and that was there favorite movie I taped it off the TV and ...

Duck Soup

Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx

Universal Studios, 1992

A Fantastic Movie!
Okay, comedy is subjective. This is my opinion and you may not share my sense of humour. Let's get that out of the way first. This is a FANTASTIC movie - what's not to love? The motorcycle and sidecar gags alone are worth the price of admission. The peanut and ...

Citizen Kane (Special Edition)

William Alland, Georgia Backus

RKO Radio Pictures, 2001

A classic!
Every movie lover should have this film in his/her library. Especially interesting was the commentary by Roger Ebert.

Short Time

Dabney Coleman, Matt Frewer

Live / Artisan, 1993

Very Underappreciated Movie
I saw this back when it came out. It was part of a Double Feature, and I thought that I wouldn't enjoy it. I wasn't a Dabney Coleman fan, and thought to myself that I could sit through an hour and a half of "whatever." My perception about this movie was TOTALLY ...

The Firm - Firm Parts: 5-Day Abs (Classic Workout Series)

Tracy James

Meridian Films, Inc. / BMG Video, 2000

easy to incorporate into your daily routine
I starting buying the FIRM tapes back in 1989 when they were fifty bucks a pop. I added this as soon as it came out. At first, I was disappointed -- there's nothing new in here; all of the 5 - 9 minute ab segments were cut from the long workout tapes I already owned. ...

Macbeth (1971)

Jon Finch, Francesca Annis

Sony Pictures, 1994

Roman Polanski's MacBeth
I love MacBeth, and I particularly love Polanski's MacBeth. It is difficult to find at video rental outlets, however, so I want it for myself and for students. My high school students in the past enjoyed this version of MacBeth and occasionally squealed with ...

Nine to Five

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin

20th Century Fox, 1993

One of the BEST comedies of all time!
There is NOTHING negative about 9 to 5. It is simply one of the best movies ever made! Dolly is precious; Lily is a stitch; and Jane, while I dislike her politics,is hilarious! Dabney Coleman is at his usual comedic best; and the supporting cast are all simply ...

It Started With Eve

Deanna Durbin, Charles Laughton

Universal Studios, 1995

A Funny and Charming Classic
Deanna Durbin was always fabulous and on this outing has a nice script and fine support from Charles Laughton and Robert Cummings, making this one of her best. This film is warm, funny and delightful. Durban even gets to do a few beautiful songs that are worked into ...
