Musicals

Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy

MGM (Warner), 1998

I wish I could rate this movie 10 stars!
Naughty Marietta, winning the Oscar for Best Sound Recording in 1935, is the crown jewel of the Eddy/MacDonald films, holding a special place in anyone's heart that has ever had the pleasure of seeing it. It is esteemed as one of the best-loved operettas of all time, ...

Wizard of Oz

Judy Garland, Frank Morgan

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), 1992

The Wizard has it All.
"There's no place like home." Dorothy and her friends seek the answer to their desires in a land of dreams and nightmares. Brilliant use of color and sepia. Classic songs, incredible performances and special effects that still hold up today. One of my ten best.

Yentl

Robbie Barnett, Lynda Baron

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

Forget DVD. Release it to BluRay
It's hard to believe that DVDs have come and gone and still no high def Yentle. Well, now BluRay is here. Come on! Give us Yentle the directors cut! Barbra already finished it! Just release it!!!

Rose Marie (1936)

Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy

MGM (Warner), 1998

Indian Love Call Classic
If ever a film deserved the label "classic romance," Rose Marie is the one. It starts out kinda slow, but gradually builds to a heartwrenching climax. Marie de Flor (Jeanette MacDonald) is an opera star who learns her brother, John Flower (James Stewart) has escaped ...

Sound of Music

Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer

20th Century Fox, 1996

Music to My Eyes
Everyone knows how popular this movie is but I had no idea after 30 years how much I would love it. My mother insisted I see it as a teenager and I wanted no part of it. As an adult with girls 3 and 6, we are enchanted with this movie and watch it any chance we get. It ...

The Little Mermaid (A Walt Disney Classic)

Rene Auberjonois, Christopher Daniel Barnes

Walt Disney Home Video

one of the best animated Disney features of all time.....
You know I couldn't write reviews of almost every other film I have seen, and leave this one out! I remember the day I saw this film for the first time, when I was about seven years old. It was one of those films you never forget. I had the great fortune to see "The ...

Robin Hood (A Walt Disney Masterpiece)

Brian Bedford, Phil Harris

Walt Disney Home Video, 1993

Disney's Robin Hood
This is the best animated version. Our kids loved it when they were young and now our grandkids love it. They watched three times the first day.

Sleeping Beauty (Fully Restored Limited Edition) (Walt Disney's Masterpiece)

Mary Costa, Bill Shirley

Walt Disney Home Video, 1997

Bogus Reviews on a Disc Not Yet Released But...
I am in the Sleeping Beauty camp. This is the first film I remember seeing in a movie theater in 1959, I was all of three years-old but the imagery has remained with me and this is my favorite of all the "Fairy Tales" Walt put out. I can't wait for the Blu-ray ...

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon

Walt Disney Video/Touchstone Home Video, 1997

A masterpiece in every way, the BEST now on Blu-ray!!!
I bought this Blu-ray the day it came out, ran home and watched it with a smile on my face the entire time. I remember seeing this in the theater when it first came out and this time it feels the same, only better. This Blu-ray version is so much better and more ...

The Pirates of Penzance

Kevin Kline, Angela Lansbury

MCA Universal, 1992

Avoid confusion with this title
There is a lot of confusion in the reviews of this movie, and the reason is simple, there are 2 films with he same name and almost the same cast. There is a version which is the film of the broadway stage show, which I have not seen, but lots of people who have say ...

Jetsons: The Movie

George O'Hanlon, Penny Singleton

Universal Pictures, 1992

Where's the DVD?!
I know this movie doesn't have exaclty the same feel as the original show did, but it was a fun flick just the same! I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for this to come out on DVD!!

Stars & Stripes Forever

Clifton Webb, Debra Paget

20th Century Fox, 1993

make it a dvd
This is a nice family movie that is worthwhile watching more than once not only by its great music but by Clifton Webb's acting. I hope to be able sometime within the near future to obtain a copy in DVD format.

Barney Goes to School

Bob West, Julie Johnson

Warner Bros. Television, 1993

West Side Story

Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

What can I say? It's a classic.
How do I add anything to this movie? It is all there: the music, the dancing, the conflict, Natalie Wood, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno.

Maytime (1937)

Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

This one will make you shed a tear or two
Most of Nelson and Jeanette films will make you sing and smile and once in a while make you shed a tear. I always wanted to know why my mom cried looking at their movies years ago when i sat on her lap while they played on tv in the early sixties. Now that im ...
