Always Makes Me Laugh
No matter how often I watch this movie, it always makes me laugh and is one of the best comedies made. I think it is Mel Brook's best work. Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn and Gene Hackman are are perfect in their timing and execution. It is hard to pick which part I enjoy the most with all the classic lines - Wilder trying to distance ...

classic comedy
Blazing Saddles is such a classic. From "candygram for Mongo!" to "it's twoo! it's twoo!" it's nonstop laughs. To save money, the railroad needs to go through the town of Rock Ridge, and governor's right-hand man, Hedley--not Hedy!--Lamarr (Harvey Kormann) come up with a solution to get the residents to leave: hire a black sheriff (Cleavon Little). When Bart (Little) gets to his office, he ...

ONE OF DISNEY'S FINEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILMS!
Mixing CGI and hand drawn animation, Disney bring us one of it's greatest animated films, 'Mulan' is better than half the live action films that have come out in the last 10 years. Beautiful animation, exciting action sequences and an wonderful story make this a must see! The battle on the snow covered mountains in breathtaking and reminded me of one of Frank Frazetta's paintings. Most everything ...

THE GREAT COMEDY
I'm still floored. This film is pure magic. Amazing script, hilarity, tense drama, romance. This film really shook up gender roles in American culture. So many comedic cues live on in modern comedies still being made. Lemmon gets every laugh, Curtis plays both parts flawlessly and Monroe is cute and as charming as any actress could be. One of the films you don't want to end, but it'll end on a ...

Darkness on the Edge of Tinsel Town
There are moments in SUNSET BOULEVARD when you literally don't know what you're watching. High drama? Acid black comedy? Bitter surreal cynicism? All of the above? I have always been blown away by this movie. The talent and insight it possesses couldn't be done today, making it even more remarkable that it was made in 1950. (One of the stories I've heard about it was that Director Billy ...

Ginger Rogers, Ray Milland

Universal Studios, 2008

I went to a masquerade, darling.
To begin with this is one of my all time favorite films, classic, adorable and always entertaining time and time again. It's easy to fall into the story, Ginger Rogers is just delightful as Susan Applegate and Ray Milland is charming as 'Uncle Phillip'. (I could only wish to be so lucky with the strangers I encounter whilst traveling) The strange and unusual situation is just hilarious(and ...

Karl Malden, Michael Douglas

Paramount, 2008

Great series
During the second act of the first episode it happens...that 2-minute or more long tracking shot of the partners striding through headquarters shot from the waist up with no cuts, both men acting with their posture, their arms, their stride, their faces, their voices--the whole thing. It's my favorite thing about this old show. There are enough interesting angles and shots to make the direction ...

Fantabulous
This was a great find. I as looking for a copy of "the Wizard of Oz" for my granddaughters and gathering all three films together was a terrific bonus. They have become huge Willy Wonka fans, a next generation ! I know when they get a bit older, they will love "the Goonies" as much as their parents did.

If you haven't seen it, and haven't read Witness in Death, here's what it's about: Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) is accused of killing a wealthy widow, and he applies to Sir Wilfrid (Charles Laughton), the best barrister in England, to defend him. But Sir Wilfrid's health is failing, and he initially refuses, until actually meeting Leonard convinces him to take the case. Leonard's wife Christine ...
