Just saw this movie again after probably two decades, and it's still one of the more gripping - and probably the pleasantest - of the great heist/noir movies I've ever seen. Reminded me that I once had a trilogy in my head of aging-courtly-criminals-we-root-for: Roger Duchesne's Bob Le Flambeur, Burt Lancaster's Lou Pasco in "Atlantic City", and Richard Farnsworth's Bill Miner is "The Grey ...             The Complete Mr. Arkadin (aka Confidential Report) - Criterion Collection45 reviews Orson Welles, Gregoire Aslan Criterion, 2006 A Goldmine for Welles Scholars and Film Buffs 1941 Citizen Kane 1942 Magnificent Ambersons 1943 Journey Into Fear 1946 The Stranger 1947 Lady From Shanghai 1948 Macbeth 1952 Othello 1955 Mr. Arkadin 1958 Touch of Evil 1962 The Trial 1965 Falstaff (Chimes at Midnight) 1974 F is for Fake To understand Mr. Arkadin I think you have to understand where it fits into the trajectory of Welles' career.

Gives a lesson to be learned! This is truly a classic!             The Hustler (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)92 reviews Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason 20th Century Fox, 2007 NOBODY'S RIGHT WHEN EVERYBODY'S WRONG I first saw this film in 1961, and for my money it's probably the most realistic ever.Here's one; this reviewer can actually smell the grime as it passes through the screen. The indescribable stench of an old pool hall, the grit of a bus terminal, where your next cup of coffee may be your last, the sleazy bar that never seems to close, the self named bums who inhabit such places are all a part ...             Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)76 reviews Paul Newman, Robert Redford 20th Century Fox, 2006 K8 I have loved this movie for many years, and it is even better on Blu-ray. The chase scenes through the valleys and hills are absolutely beautiful. Even the bicycle scene is more enjoyable with a crisp picture. This movie is in my top 5. The best of the old west. Newman and Redford both give great performances, and their interaction on screne is unmatched. And certainly not to be ...             Grease (Widescreen Edition, with Songbook)331 reviews Eve Arden, Frankie Avalon Paramount Home Video, 2002 SHOO BOP! What american would not love JOHN TRAVLOTA and OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN in "GREASE"!! When I first saw this movie I was only a kid and I knew all the songs and I actually thought high school was gonna be like RYDELL HIGH!             Lost in America40 reviews Candy Ann Brown, Michael Cornelison Warner Home Video, 2001 fun even if you're not a comedy-lover this movie is hilarious. i am not an easy laugher and most movies that are supposed to be funny just make me roll my eyes. the situation is very easy to relate to--who hasn't dreamed of chucking the corporate life and living more simply? men and women will enjoy it equally. i even sent a dvd to my financial advisor.             The Color of Money41 reviews Robert Agins, Alvin Anastasia Walt Disney Video, 2002 A great sequel A sequel of sorts of Newman's 1960 THE HUSTLER, and a great one. Newman, long out of the pool game now, but still unable to forget it, finds Tom Cruise shooting the daylights out of the game one night and talks the brash young kid into going on the road and becoming a hustler, with Newman as his mentor. Then halfway through the picture Newman gets the bug to play again. He and Cruise meet up in ...             Bad Lieutenant94 reviews Harvey Keitel, Victor Argo Lions Gate, 2001 BAD LIEUTENANT IS A HIT AND MISS BUT MOSTLY IT'S AMAZING! I am reviewing this because I am a guy that likes Bad Cop/Good Cop movies. With this movie, "The Bad Lieutenant" it's from the same director that did, "King of New York" Which was one of my favorite movies of all time. Bad Lieutenant has a lot of things going for it. It was a very well pace movie, but also savage and sometimes strange. Yes there are some parts in this movie that is kind of a ...             TCM Archives - Forbidden Hollywood Collection, Vol. 1 (Waterloo Bridge [1931] / Baby Face / Red-Headed Woman)38 reviews Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent Warner Home Video, 2006 Crystal Clear It's amazing that these movies have never hit dvd before!!! They have crystal clear sound and picture with a documentary by Robert Osbourne. The thing that caught my attention upon this product was the pre-release version of Baby Face. Those few minutes of film that were cut are sooo essential. If you like movies from the early 30's then you'll LOVE this collection. I reccomend it!             Rounders165 reviews Matt Damon, Edward Norton Miramax, 1999 Great Casino Movie! A great Casino movie with a great cast! Gives a lesson to be learned! This is truly a classic!             The Good Thief50 reviews Nutsa Kukhianidze, Ouassini Embarek 20th Century Fox, 2003 One of Nolte's Best This flick is really one of his best. Most of the other actors are virtually unknown in the U.S., which is too bad because they really do a great job. Ralph Finnes has a tiny, but intense part in this that helps make it a really tense and sexy heist movie. It's kind of in the same vein as Ronin. It's also a lot of fun.             Kenny Rogers: Legend of the Gambler (3 Full-Length Movies: The Gambler, The Adventure Continues, & The Legend ...4 reviews Kenny Rogers Time Life Records, 2006 The Gambler Lives On Got to know when to watch it, got to know when not to watch it! In this case you watch the entire thing, it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!             Owning Mahowny35 reviews Philip Seymour Hoffman, Minnie Driver Sony Pictures, 2003 Amazing Performance in a great movie This movie really makes you think about the dangers of gambling. After watching it, I don't even want to play penny poker! Hoffman's performance is tremendous, you can see his anguish after every defeat. His compulsion is frightening and makes me want to sue casinos out of business. He pushes away family, friends, and his career, all in the hopes of what? I like the fact that the town bookie ...             The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw4 reviews Claude Akins, Tammy Amerson Platinum Disc, 2004 Still a great movie Cheap price, good shipping. well worth the money if you just want to enjoy a simple B movie based on wild west poker.             Legend Of The Gambler starring Kenny Rogers, featuring 3 Full-Length Movies!

The cast alone should say something, Henry (Never made a bad movie) Fonda, Joanne Woodward, Jason Robards, Burgess Meredith, Charles Bickford, and of course Paul Ford in a most memoriable role as Ballinger. If you liked My Cousin Vinny you'll savor Big Hand for the Little Lady, it trumps MCV and that ain't no easy task. ...             Hammer Film Noir Collector's Set (Bad Blonde / Blackout / The Gambler and the Lady / Heat Wave / Man Bait / ...9 reviews Paul Henreid, Lizabeth Scott Vci Video, 2006 HAMMER FILM NOIR If you like Film noirs, you'll love these.

And if you don't like any of the above, why then you should take a good hard look at the "Man in a Mirror" as Michael Jackson pointed out, and think about both changing your ways and--let me be clear--if you want to make the world a better place, I recommend taking a look at yourself and making a ...             Dr. Mabuse, The Gambler17 reviews Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Aud Egede Nissen Kino Video, 2006 A German silent cinema masterpiece in restored form Fritz Lang's brilliantly directed and designed DR. MABUSE: THE GAMBLER (1922, Germany) is one of the crowning achievements of the German silent cinema from the decade following World War One.
