Charles Aznavour, Alan Badel

Paramount, 1998

Another winner - Classic Movie
The Adventurers is a classic movie of polictical intrigue, romance, and wonderful story and acting. Was thrilled to find it on Amazon and immediately placed my order. Received it when expected and I'm never disappointed with any of my purchases made through Amazon. ...

French Connection 2 [VHS]

Gene Hackman, Fernando Rey

20th Century Fox, 1994

French Connection II
Excellent acting on the part of Gene Hackman. A great deal of suspense throughout. It was a great climax to French Connection I. You can't see the First Part without seeing the Second.

Monsignor [VHS]

Christopher Reeve, Geneviève Bujold

Fox Home Entertainme, 1983

Almost a successful film
Just caught "Monsignor" on cable. It seemed to be well-paced in that it didn't drag for me as it did for another reviewer. The plus side is that it shows the worldly side of the Roman Church and how this church might get into financially ambiguous dealings with the ...

1492 - Conquest of Paradise [VHS]

Gérard Depardieu, Armand Assante

Paramount, 1998

Conquest of Paradise
A Magical recounting of Columbus's voyage to the new land - very underrated and, sadly, one of the most overlooked quality films made in some time. Also one of the most breathtaking Vangelis soundtracks available - a definite "must" if you are a Vangelis fan. Worth ...

Saving Grace [VHS]

Tom Conti, Fernando Rey

Embassy Home Entertainment, 1990

GIVE US THE DVD!!!!
Why, oh why, doesn't this wonderful, family, heart-warming film appear on DVD? It is a gem for any day of the week. Ponti is a wonderful Pope (and I am Methodist). Please, pleeeeeeze, bring out in DVD format. My VHS format is old and yellow..... and fuzzy.

1492 - Conquest of Paradise (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]

Tunnel [VHS]

Jane Seymour, Peter Weller

Lions Gate, 1989

Mediocre love triangle stuff
I watched this movie for the pairing of Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) and Peter Weller (Robocop). It certainly is intense, but it is in no way a masterpiece, either in acting or story. Set in Buenos Aires, it borrows from the film noir of the '40s, so many ...

French Connection [VHS]

Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider

20th Century Fox, 1992

Gene Hackman
One of the classic cop movies of all time. Keeps moving with plenty of action. Never forgot the name Popeye Doyle.

Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie [VHS]

Fernando Rey, Delphine Seyrig

Xenon Entertainment, 1992

The Stuff of Dreams
"The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" unfolds with the absurd logic of a recurrent dream, and since the DVD has been beautifully restored, one is able to dream the dream in vivid color: Elegantly dressed guests arrive for a dinner party only to have the hostess ...

Tristana
Catherine Deneuve, Fernando Rey

Hen's Tooth Video

The Night Heaven Fell [VHS]

Brigitte Bardot, Alida Valli

Homevision, 1999

B.B., a kaleidoscope of dynamic excitement...
In 1956, Roger Vadim made a sensational debut as a motion picture director with 'And God Created Woman', a daringly erotic film that challenged conventional views of romanticism... Vadim presented the nude body of his young wife, Brigitte Bardot, in all the splendor of ...

The Hit [VHS]

Disney Black Arrow

Oliver Reed, Fernando Rey

Walt Disney Home Video, 1984

A Wonderful Disney Movie!!!
I never thought I would buy another movie on VHS, but I made an acception with the Black Arrow. I had taped it off the Disney Channel many years ago and it was accidentally taped over. I was hoping to someday see it on DVD, but with not much luck in that direction, I ...

Rustlers' Rhapsody [VHS]

Thomas Abbott, G.W. Bailey

Paramount, 1998

Great Spoof of the Old Westerns
I know what the critics say but if you want a cleverly put together romp, don't miss this one. Sit back and enjoy the tongue in cheek take on all the old westerns. Tom Berenger is Rex O'Herlihan the Singing Cowboy, who, along with his horse, Wildfire, rides town to ...

Viridiana [VHS]

Silvia Pinal, Fernando Rey

Hens Tooth Video, 1996

The masterpiece of Don Luis Bunuel
If you have to own only one film from Luis Bunuel, Viridiana have to be it ! I still consider this film from 1961 to be one of the two best the spanish film director ever made. The other one is ''Nazarin'', a film Bunuel made in 1958 during his exile in Mexico. When ...
