A 'Must See" For "Wannabee Movie Stars"!!!RIP Mr. Lancaster
This movie stars two of the Icons from the Golden Age Of Cinema namely Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster. These two very fine actors play a couple of ex convicts who can't adjust to life on the outside so they decide to rob one last train.Eli Wallach is also very funny and memorable in this movie as a myopic hitman who will stop at nothingto fulfill a 40 year old contract. This movie is a wonderful ...

A Timeless Film Noir Classic
For anyone who has interest in the Film Noir genre of film, this movie is the first one you should see. It is the classic Film Noir that many critics compare others to. It has all of the classic plot lines, the detective, the femme fatale, and the villian. This film actually has a more complex plot than many of the same type like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, and Chinatown; however, it is ...

Probably The Last Great Black & White Movie Made
I am a war movie buff. I have seen them all. Heck, I have seen Patton a million times but I just went and bought Patton in Blu-Ray. And by the way, the Patton transfer is the best older movie transfer I have yet seen, it looks as good as the day it opened at the movies. Anyway, I really have seen most of the great WWII movies made in the 60s and 70s except for this one. I finally saw it ...

Entertaining Hollywood-ized WWII movie that needs a Region 1 DVD release
This is one of my favorite World War 2 movies, but if you want to see it on DVD today (April 2006) you will need a region-free player as it has yet to appear in the format here in Region 1. Luckily, I have a region-free DVD player and the Region 2 DVD that includes a nice, informative documentary shot at the time of the movie's production that talks extensively about the historical basis for the ...

Good for a light-hearted laugh
I have had The Villain on VHS for years and have watched it many times. It is good for a slapstick, light-hearted time. I decided to order it on DVD so it would last many more years. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the wily coyote type of humor.

The anti-establishment hero
Kirk Douglas as the outcast cowboy in a modern world that has squeezed his kind out - though he goes down fighting. It's a familiar role in American movies: think of Bogart in "Casablanca" or Eastwood as "Dirty Harry," each the loner in a world that expects conformity. Although the movie gets off to a shaky start with Douglas purposely getting arrested in order to help a friend bust out of the ...

Can I give it more than 5 stars???????????
If you ever want to see a movie that typifies 1960's life in all of its irreplacable, splendid detail, see this one. Yes, the heat between Kim and Kirk is enough to melt the tape, but what a memory lane through the taupe-and-grey color schemes, the clothing and furniture, the cars, the restaurants, and that truly class-act LOUNGE (yes, not a dive BAR), "The Albatross", where they meet--only ...

Great Linda Blair movie!!
Linda Blair is the best in this movie! Besides that cute guy who plays her boyfriend she is the best in the cast! She was soo cute looking the only problem is she looked to much (and acted to much) like Regan Macniel the character he did a year later in the heretic! But thats ok! Even though when she was crying she sounded like a smurf (i'm sorry.. she did! :) ) Elizabeth Taylor is a little bit ...

DVD, PLEASE!!
When, when, when is this terrific movie going to come out on DVD? The mystery is great, the acting terrific and I defy anyone who sees it for the first time to figure it out!

Disney's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea
Disney's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea was one of the most influential film experiences of my youth. I definitely rate it as a five star film with good special effects, which though dated, were very good for the time. The best of the special effects scenes was the giant squid and I have read that this scene required many retakes and changes in mechanical approach to satisfy Disney who would not ...

Better Than I Remembered
Deborah Raffin is really worth seeing in ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH. I remember seeing this film when it first came out and thinking it ghastly, but now when I watch it, I'm in awe of Raffin. Okay, she's not much of an actress and will never give Meryl Streep any competition, but, well, I sound like a perve but she just exudes youth and beauty in the part of January Wayne, and her coltish, extremely ...

The most underrated film of the last 25 years
Beautifully made, brilliantly acted -- I could go on and on. The setting is as picturesque as a rugged heaven; the score is one of the greatest I have ever heard. Flawless...

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 Devil Gets His Own
This classy film mixes fact and fiction. Bernard Shaw's take on the American Revolution has all the smart touches that we associate with his plays with some scant reference to history thrown in. What makes this movie a hit are the three great actors who are all in their prime here. Laurence Oliver's John Bourgoyne (Gentlemanly Johnny) is simply brilliant. His acid wit makes for a most ...

I am spartacus! No,I'm Spartacus! No, I'm Spartacus! I'm Spartacus!
That there appears to be enough historical information on a man who was nothing more than a slave of Rome near the beginning of the "Common Era", makes this dramatization a bit free with historical perspective. Stanley Kubrick did a fantastic job in bringing the "Man" to the big screen, though. Kirk Douglas had his work cut out for him, playing Spartacus. You KNOW what he feels at any given ...

CAESAR SALAD FOR GEN. SCOTT
Army chief of staff Scott(Lancaster) is sick and tired of his Cmdr-in-Chief(March)and is going to do something about it on Preakness Sunday.Operating out of a secret base in Texas, Scott and the other Joint Chiefs are simply going to seize control of all United States communications and proclaim Scott as President.It seems to the military that President Lyman is too soft on communism and only ...

"A Family Project!"....
This review refers to the DVD edition(Miramax) of "Diamonds"... Thoroughly entertaining, more then a bit sentimental, and highly enjoyable, "Diamonds" is a gem of a film. It's a charming comedy that will have you smiling from beginning to end. Kirk Douglas, Dan Aykroyd, and Corbin Allred are three generations of the Agensky men who take you on an adventure you won't soon forget. Lance(Aykroyd) ...

Very impressed
I was very impressed with how quickly my purchase was delivered to me as well as the perfect condition it arrived in. I live in Hawaii and many times we don't receive items in the usual alloted times when we order anything online, but this item arrived very quickly.

All time favorite
This movie is my all time favorite comedy western! I laughed so hard about one seen that I almost made myself ill, but I won't give that away. I would love to own it in DVD.
