Not many people will agree with me on that judgment. Though I recognize Welles's virtuoso technical work as director in "Citizen Kane," I find the movie dull, and, oddly, lacking in dramatic value. It plays like a carnival sideshow, ...             Wizards168 reviews Ralph Bakshi, Victoria Bakshi 20th Century Fox, 2004 great aminated show i saw this when it originally came out and was very happyto purchase the memory. thanks so much             3:10 to Yuma (Widescreen Edition)352 reviews Russell Crowe, Christian Bale Lions Gate, 2008 Best Since Unforgiven This is the best Western since Unforgiven, and perhaps better. Top work bu Bale and Crowe             A Man for All Seasons (Special Edition)204 reviews Paul Scofield, Wendy Hiller Sony Pictures, 2007 Sir Thomas for for Senate "If a statesmen foresakes with private conscience for the sake of public office, he leads his county to a short route to chaos." Thomas More to Cardinal Wolsey regarding granting an unlaw divorce to King Henry VIII from his barren wife. How great a country would America be if our Congress men and women had the courage of Thomas Moore. Man for All Seasons is one of the greatest movies ...             Touch Of Evil (50th Anniversary Edition)160 reviews Joseph Cotten, Valentin de Vargas Universal Studios, 2008 Orson Welles and Noir Fete of Death Famous for its opening, extended tracking shot in Mexico, and rightly so, "Touch of Evil" is Welles's best film--even better than "Citizen Kane."

It has only gotten better with age. The performances are wonderful and Orson Welles is terrific. I appreciate that the movie is still in glorious black and white. The shadows of his home would be lost along with the brooding atmosphere.             The Long, Hot Summer52 reviews Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward 20th Century Fox, 2003 The Long Hot Summer This was a great movie in excellent condition and received on time. I really appreciate it and will keep ordering. Thank you, Barbara P.             The Vikings90 reviews Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis MGM, 2002 A joyous romp that offers everything you could ask for in an adventure movie The title sequence sets the tone of The Vikings perfectly: the Bayeaux Tapestry as animated by UPA with narration by Orson Welles. Whereas a lot of Sixties epics became so introspective and glum that the genre ended up disappearing up its own backside, this 1958 romp makes no claims to be taken seriously and, consequently, is terrific fun. This is no saga of angst on an epic scale but a joyous ...             The Third Man [Blu-ray]262 reviews Joseph Cotten, Orson Welles Criterion Collection, 2008 Blu-Ray disc in DVD case One of the best movies ever made. But what I'm reviewing is the case. It's my understanding that Criterion is release all their Blu-Ray discs in standard DVD cases in order to blend them in with all their previous DVD releases. I think this is a big mistake. Why didn't they release the DVDs in Laserdisc sleeves? I want to be able to distinguish my Blu-Rays from my DVDs. Any thoughts?             Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)698 reviews Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten Turner Home Ent, 2001 GREAT SATISFACTION! I sent a review last week. What happened to it? I'll try again. I was very pleased to receive "Citizen Kane" BEFORE THE PREDICTED SHIPPING DATE. I ordered from Amazon because I didn't think it would be available here. But I saw it last week in a store for almost twice what I paid for it. Will certainly order from the seller next time. Shirley             Essential Classics - Dramas (The Maltese Falcon / Citizen Kane / Ben-Hur)6 reviews Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins Warner Home Video, 2007 Great films, great value No frills, just 3 great films for a good price. I like the documentaries but usually only once so I like films sold like this for about 9 bucks a film.             The Pink Panther78 reviews David Niven, Peter Sellers MGM (Video & DVD), 2006 The Pink Panther The great Blake Edwards inaugurated the farcical "Panther" series in 1964 with this zesty comedy caper starring David Niven as a covetous, Cary Grant-like jewel thief. But it was Peter Sellers's brilliant performance as clumsy Inspector Clouseau--the very opposite of Niven's refined, urbane criminal--that made this a madcap classic. Goofy and fun, with an indelible, Oscar-nominated score by Henry ...             Rhinestone58 reviews Sylvester Stallone, Dolly Parton Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005 rhinestone movie This is the funniest movie with two very big stars in it. I don't think it ever really made it big, but I absolutely loved it. It made me extremely happy to find it on amazon at such a wonderful price. The movie is about Dolly Parton who plays a country singer of course who has to teach Stallone an Italian New York City taxi cab driver how to become and look like a county singer. Abracadabra! ...             A Woman Called Moses13 reviews Cicely Tyson, Orson Welles Xenon, 2001 A Great movie and a wonderful performance This was a great movie, and Cicely Tyson as usual, does an excellent performance of Harriet Tubman. The quality could have been much better, but over all it was very good. The drama was excellent, at times I had to pause it just to collect myself. This is a movie that you can watch with the whole family. The best part of it, is that it is historical, and a great chance to tell your children ...             Catch-2272 reviews Alan Arkin, Martin Balsam Paramount, 2001 Go Around! Here goes another review of another movie but this time I would like to include the shock I had at the first time I ever saw this one. Not at all like any movie before or after it.... War is the same no matter who what where when why and how it happens and this war movie takes place during the second World War. WWII. The whole world has gone mad and is bent on killing as many people as ...             Desert Hearts (Two-Disc Vintage Collection)84 reviews Andra Akers, Dean Butler Wolfe Video, 2007 Old fashioned but relevant The movie was a bit melodramatic but very effective in making it's point. As a woman who was happily married for 27 of 29 years and only discovered my "true" sexuality at almost 50yrs old, I can relate to the hesitancy of pursing this type of relationship. Based on my experience, I found it depicted a fairly realistic view of a female to female relationship.             Looker36 reviews Albert Finney, James Coburn Warner Home Video, 2007 Still love it I loved Looker when I first seen it on HBO over 20 years ago and when I seen it on Amazon.com I just had to have it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes beautiful models, suspence, and action all combined into one movie. Definetly loved it.

When I did an about face and went back to buy it, it was gone. After finding it here at Amazon and reading all the glowing reviews, now I know why.
