Nobody's Fool (1994)

Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy

Paramount, 1997

Less is more
This is a gentle, small movie about small-town living and its citizens, particularly a blatantly unapologetic ne'er-do-well named Sully (Paul Newman) who has lived his life exactly as he wants to and manages, by optimism and the bonding in this town, to survive quite ...

Joanne Woodward, James Olson

Warner Home Video, 1995

Rachel, Rachel, A Triumph!
It was so important to Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman that they make "a little film that meant something", that they didn't even take a salary from Warner Brothers. Also, they invested much of their own money to get its deep message across. This incredible film ...

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon

Walt Disney Video/Touchstone Home Video, 1997

The Nightmare Before Christmas (Blu-Ray)
My favorite Tim Burton movie, the second it The Corpse Bride. Exceptional quality on the Blu-Ray (far out shines the DVD version).

Fantasia (Walt Disney's Masterpiece)

Leopold Stokowski, Deems Taylor

Walt Disney Home Video, 1992

Disney's Greatest Film
I have to admit, I'm an avid listener of classical music. So it's a small wonder why Disney's Fantasia is one of my favorite films. Every music sequence is pure gold (except maybe the Pastoral sequence). Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach = My ...

12 Angry Men

Courtney B. Vance, Ossie Davis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Dear MGM, WHERE IS THE DVD???!!!
I saw this movie back when it was on television and I loved it! I also like the older version. I can get that one on DVD but WHY CAN'T I GET THIS ONE ON DVD??? MGM, it is time to release this movie on DVD!!!!

Enchanted April (1991)

Josie Lawrence, Miranda Richardson

Paramount, 1994

Good News, DVD To Be Released Soon!
Many thanks to another review that provided a contact name and email address. I sent an email to Stuart Snaith many weeks ago, and just received a reply today (18 July 2008) from Liz Hammond. Liz said the problems over film rights have been resolved and the Enchanted ...

The Wizard of Oz

Judy Garland, Frank Morgan

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), 1999

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.

Sometimes a Great Notion

Jim Burk, Bennie E. Dobbins

Universal Studios, 1998

DVD PLEASE!!!
This is a fantastic movie, who do we have to petition to get it on DVD???

Somebody Up There Likes Me

Paul Newman, Pier Angeli

MGM (Warner), 1998

Luther Vandross' Favorite Film
After James Dean's death, MGM insisted that the griefstricken survivors, Sal Mineo and Pier Angeli, fulfill their contracts, which they did unwillingly under penalty of law. As Romolo and Norma, Mineo and Angeli are uncharacteristically subdued, and in the judgment of ...

Yentl

Robbie Barnett, Lynda Baron

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

Showing TCM 12/22/2008
This is my favorite movie and would like to get it on DVD as soon as it is released for Region 1. In the meantime, I found out it was on the Turner Classic Movie channel last night and I missed it. It will be rebroadcast 12/22/2008 at 11:30pm Eastern time. Set your ...

Barfly

Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway

Warner Home Video, 1998

Bukowski's Only Screenplay is a Masterpiece
Anyway who criticizes Mickey Rourke's performance in BARFLY has never really been really drunk. Even if Bukowski himself never wanted Mickey Rourke to play the role, it doesn't mean much. Bukowski would of hated anyone who played the role of his alter ego Hank ...

Scarlett (Special Collector's Editon)

Joanne Whalley, Timothy Dalton

Hallmark, 1997

Scarlett, the book
Great book. Written in sense of "Gone with the Wind." Good character development. Really saw the growth of Scarlet, from self-centered child to caring young woman. Always had the feeling, unlike the film, that it was Scarlet and Rhett. Set in Irish history ...

Back Street

Susan Hayward, John Gavin

Universal Studios, 1993

Where is the DVD?
I love this movie and the only thing I could wish for now is for it to come out on DVD. Anyone have a clue when that might happen?
