The Wiz (1978) [VHS]

Diana Ross, Michael Jackson

Universal Studios, 1992

Love Both version. Judy and Diana/Michael.
I love Judy and Diana/Michael versions. Judy started the original verison which I grew on and loved she brought action and emotions. Diana brought more singing and emotions also, entertainment on her and Michael part. But over all I love both films. Plus, Michael brought cutness too.

Uptown Saturday Night [VHS]

Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby

Warner Home Video, 1995

Funny! Hilarious! Gut Busting!
Is such a movie as this one. Bill and Sydney have always starred well as a duo. They're about the only two guys I know that can pull off roles as crooks, turn it into comedy and get away with it. But that takes nothing away from Calvin Lockhart and Harry Bellafonte. Everyone in this movie will have you busting your gut laughing. Bunch of fools (but in a funny way). I guess when you lose a lotto ...

MGM, 1993

Filmmaking of the highest order: Ken Russell's Tchaikowsky--Genius recognizing genius!
Peter Tchaikowsky (1840-1893) is arguably Russia's greatest composer/pianist/conductor.His life was filled with heartache,trauma,emotional instability,near madness,perfectionism and most of all the inability or unwillingness to accept his homosexual nature. His music IS all about emotion. His works triumphantly and tragically are mirror images of his life, and therefore to understand his life IS ...

Wilder And Pryor At Their Peak
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor was a good comedy team of the 1970s, making several hit movies together, this being one of the more memorable. Viewing this movie recently after a 25-year absence, it was a shock to me to hear the language. I had remembered this strictly as a light-hearted comedy but I can see why it's rated "R." That is solely for the language, especially by Pryor, but he was ...

Ross and Pryor should have been Oscar winners
I probally have seen "Lady Sings the Blues" over a 100 times,and its on TV right now.Its near the end after The Piano Man ,Richard Pryor,has just gotten killed.I'm amazed of his acting,and of course,Diana Ross.She is Billy Holiday,even the way she sings.I have alot of Holidays records,and Ross added her style blending with Billys to come up with one of the greatest performances ever on screen. ...

Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle

Universal Studios Ho, 1999

Please, please, please! Put this on DVD !!!
I can honestly say that this film rates in my book as the funniest movie of the 80s. I have looked for it on tape for years without success. Now I am thrilled to see it finally available. But I only wish it was on DVD. Who plays tapes any more?

Wild in the Streets [VHS]

23 reviews
Christopher Jones, Shelley Winters

Available at last on DVD but difficult to find
During the 1960s, American International primarily introduced low-budgeted movies geared usually for drive-ins. By some mistake, "Wild in the Streets" turned out to be both a hit and a perennial cult favorite. Deservedly so. It is probably one of the most subversive satires ever produced for the American screen. In September of 2004, it was finally released as part of a double-sided MGM Midnight ...

Silver Streak (1976) [VHS]

Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor

20th Century Fox, 1993

Great comedic pairing
This movie is not only a comedic homage to Alfred Hitchcock, it is a gathering of great character actors. Ned Beatty, Patrick McGoohan, Ray Walston, and Scatman Carruthers to name a few. The movie is well written by Colin Higgins with enough twists and hilarity for everyone! Starring Gene Wilder as hapless victim and Richard Pryor as hapless saviour and Jill Clayburgh as damsel in distress, this ...

Fast turnaround. Love this movie. One of Pryor's best. Harvey Keitel and Yaphet Kotto are excellent too!

Richard Pryor, Beverly Todd

Warner Home Video, 1998

Blow the dust off your VCR! You need to watch this movie!
Moving is one of my favorite Richard Pryor movies, and until it comes out on DVD, I highly recommend buying this tape so you can enjoy this comedy classic! Plus, Dana Carvey, Dave Thomas, and Randy Quaid are a riot here too!

PRYOR'S BEST
THIS IS THE BENCHMARK FOR STANDUP COMEDY. EVERY COMIC NOW SHOULD BOW DOWN TO THE GENIUS THAT IS PRYOR. EVEN SOME 25 YEARS LATER, THIS CONCERT MAKES ME HAVE TO STOP THE DVD TO CATCH MY BREATH. SIMPLY THE BEST... WE MISS YOU RICHARD.

Richard Pryor:Live on the Sunset Strip.
Richard Pryor was such a funny man and a shame he had to abuse drugs,But nonetheless he was a brutally honest and hilarious comedian.I might not agree with some of the politics but There will never be another Richard Pryor. God Rest His Soul. This show is hilarious and Richard is at his best!

Risky Business (1983) [VHS]

75 reviews
Tom Cruise, Rebecca De Mornay

Warner Home Video, 1999

Any guy can appreciate this
This film is one of the best comedies ever made. Tom Cruise is totally convincing in his role as a straight laced teen who takes a trip to the dark side. The film is incredibly well written as both Cruise and his friends seem like they could be real kids going to your high school. The idea of calling a hooker up when your parents are out of town is appealing to any teenage male. The parents of ...

Chamber [VHS]

Chris O'Donnell, Gene Hackman

Universal Studios, 1997

Can we presume to be better than God?
Apart from the emotional content due to the fact that a grandson defends his grandfather who is going to be executed for a racist crime, the films deals with the death penalty with great sympathy and ethical enlightenment. It also reveals with some silent moments here and there that the decision to execute the murderer is not at all taken for real moral reasons but only for political reasons. The ...

Richard Pryor, Lonette McKee

Universal Studios, 1995

Triple the Richard Pryor....what a Deal !
Richard Pryor is at the top of his game in the 1970's flick. At the time I remember it being a minor hit and seeing it in the movie theatre with a group of friends. Between the social commentary (that is still relevant today) we laughed our heads off. His main character is a hard working but down on his luck picker who ends up on the wrong side of the bosses running the produce conclomerate ...

Gideon's Trumpet

Henry Fonda, Jose Ferrer

Goodtimes Home Video, 1986

FOR LEGAL BEAGLES EVERYWHERE...
This is a movie made great by Henry Fonda's compelling portrayal of an unlikely folk hero, Clarence Earl Gideon, who was the catalyst for one of the most significant changes in our legal system. The seminal case of Gideon v. Wainright ultimately saw the United States Supreme Court establish that anyone who is charged with a crime is entitled to legal representation by an attorney. Clarence ...
