Gregory Peck

To Kill a Mockingbird (Collector's Edition)

Gregory Peck, John Megna

Universal Studios, 1998

Top Ten classic
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a powerful, hugely well-acted film that should be on everyone's Top Ten and should be in every film collection. The book took me for a ride as a child, one of those rare books we were made to read in school that I could not put down; the ...

Twelve O'Clock High (Special Edition)

Gregory Peck, Hugh Marlowe

20th Century Fox, 2007

A powerful film that stands up well nearly 60 years later.
This is a powerful movie that emphasizes the difficulties of military leadership and the pressures on airman who have comfortable beds and means in England and have to fly into death and terror days on end. While there are some powerful air battle scenes in the movie, ...

Spellbound

Jean Acker, Irving Bacon

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008

Spellbound is spellbinding
Not the greatest Hitchcock film, but ironically it has four of Hitchcock's greatest sequences, all of them mind benders as befits a crime story about headshrinkers gone rotten. The famous Salvador Dali dream sequence is everything it has become famous for, a ...

The Big Country

Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Eastern gentleman tries to tame the wild west
There have been many fine reviews of this film already. Thus, I will largely confine my remarks to one of the themes of the film: the incompatabilities that most contributed to the breakup of marriage plans between Jim McKay (Gregory Peck) and Pat Terrill(Carroll ...

The Stalking Moon

Gregory Peck, Eva Marie Saint

Warner Home Video, 2008

Great movie--DVD missing scene selection
Wonderful movie! I loved the way the silence brooding over the Southwest landscape is reflected in the film: in Varner's strong, stoic character; in the taciturn scowl of the Indian boy; in the silent menace of Salvaje (correct spelling?)Two things, though, about the ...

How the West Was Won (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

George Peppard, Debbie Reynolds

Warner Home Video, 2008

HD Home Theater (HDMI) w/Blu-ray brings CINERAMA Home (explained)
Experiencing the 1963 version at a CINERAMA theater was breathtaking and unbelievable with that 146 degree 3 projector screen bigger than life. Not since then have we been able to re-experience that magical event until NOW. Yes my fellow movie buffs this Blu-ray ...

How the West Was Won (Three-Disc Special Edition)

Carroll Baker, Lee J. Cobb

Warner Home Video, 2008

HD Home Theater (HDMI) w/Blu-ray brings CINERAMA Home (explained)

Captain Horatio Hornblower

Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo

Warner Bros. Pictures, 2007

Captain Horation Hornblower - a great classic movie.
I think this movie is one of the better swashbuckler - old sailing ship movies out there. I have read it is losely based on the life of the great British Admiral Nelson. The movie takes place during the time period when England, France and Spain were all trying ...

Roman Holiday (Special Collector's Edition)

Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn

Paramount, 2002

The best thing I know is to do exactly what you wish for a while.
Possibly my favorite romance of all time, ROMAN HOLIDAY is a heart-wrenching, charming and timeless tale of a young Princess Ann(Audrey Hepburn) who runs away and ends up in the arms of wise newspaperman Joe Bradley(Gregory Peck). Of course through a handful of ...

The Omen [Blu-ray]

Gregory Peck, David Warner

20th Century Fox, 2008

Right up there with The Exorcist as top horror film EVER!!!
I don't understand why this film doesn't get more respect. The music? My God, the music has stayed with me for DECADES!!!!! Brilliant. Simply brilliant. The acting, the directing, the atmosphere, the script, everything is just perfection. One of the best horror ...

The Boys From Brazil

Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier

Lions Gate, 1999

Nature or nurture?
This movie has probably ended up playing the role of a "predictor" of events. When it was made, probably one could not have imagined that cloning or genetic sequencing would advance so rapidly. The evil Dr. Josef Mengele gathers all his Nazi cronies with a view to ...

How the West Was Won (Ultimate Collector's Edition)

The Keys of the Kingdom

Gregory Peck, Thomas Mitchell

20th Century Fox, 2006

Excellent film for the whole Catholic family
An excellent movie for a Catholic family. Gregory Peck's "unorthodox beliefs" are petty issues, not having to do with Church dogma, etc... and it's basically pitting a humble, Saintly man against Church leaders who are only interested in "numbers" of converts and their ...

On the Beach

Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A Place in Time When People Seemed to Care More
I remember my parents taking me to this film--at a drive-in, no less. This was the era of "The Blob" and other teen-crazie epics. ON THE BEACH is a serious, thought-provoking film--and it found a deep--if silent--response not only in mature people, but with teens as ...
