Paris Blues
I LOVE this movie - was so happy to get it. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were either just married or about to get married, and so young and pretty together! Also a rare opportunity to see Diahnne Carrol(not spelled right) and Sidney Poitier so young also. Excellent jazz (Louis Armstrong plays in this movie)Great collector item.

Neglected Classic
In 1956, some of the great names of Hollywood came together to make a film they all could be proud of, and Good-Bye, My Lady is that film. It is still remarkable today when this kind of project succeeds, but this one really did. Look at the list: Producer, John Wayne; Director, William Wellman; the greatest character actor ever, Walter Brennan; the hottest boy actor of the day, Brandon de Wilde ...

Monterey Video, 1998

A heart breaking story of South Africa in the 1950's
This movie tells the parallel stories of an old black priest and a old white farmer who leave their rural communities to travel to Johannesburg and the tragedies that draw them there. While the story is a moving portrait of that troubled time and place, it is still chillingly current. An encounter between the two men when they discover the extent to which their lives (and the lives of their ...

"DO YOU LIKE SWING"? A CLASSIC....... OH DADDY O!
Blackboard Jungle is an interesting film that features Glen Ford and some young new talent that would find bigger fame in later years. Sidney Poitier,Vic Marrow and Jamie Farr(Jameel Farrah then) all play teens in this tale of juvenile delinquents in a lower class school that Ford comes to teach in. Still holds up well considering it's age. Poitier would later do "To Sir With Love" and switch ...

For Love of Sidney
This movie portrayed a successful, professional black business man in the 60's - -how refreshing. Sidney Poitier was not surprisingly, impressive, powerful and sexy! Terrific movie, good acting by all.

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

"They call me Mister Tibbs ! "
Has to be the best line in the movie one of the best ever lines right up there with "Go ahead punk make my day", and "We dont need no stiken badges". This is a very realistic protral of the 60's south. I rember it well when everyone was proud about their fathers rank in the KKK. It was hard to beleave that life ment so little if you were not white or if you supported unpoular causes. Sidney ...

"Walter needs something I can't give him any more. "
With perhaps the best cast ever assembled for this play, David Susskind's 1961 production of Raisin in the Sun is a classic film and a landmark achievement during the civil rights struggles of the early 1960s. Starring a young Sidney Poitier as Walter Lee, Claudia McNeil as his mother Lena Younger, Ruby Dee as his wife Ruth, and Diana Sands as his sister Beneatha, the film closely follows the ...

Republic Pictures, 1996

Seperate But Equal
Separate But Equal This should be required viewing for all introductory Political Science, Government or US history students. The Brown decision comes to life on screen, including the thoughts and postions of justices reluctant to overturn the Plessy desicion. Justices Frankfurter's and Reed's comments provided provacative fuel for intellectual debate in today's race charged society.

Sidney Poitier, Shelley Winters

MGM (Warner), 1999

Time Has Not Diminished This Movie
It is amazing that although this movie was made in the 60s, its appeal is as strong as ever. It is the alternately touching and triumphant story of a 18 year old girl, Selina, blinded accidentally by her mother at the age of five. Her daily existence consists of life in a dreary, run-down apartment with her over-bearing, abusive mother and maternal grandfather. While both parental figures are ...

Ray's Review
From a Christian standpoint, this is one of the best movies you can own. I always put it down as my favorite! Sidney Poiter is one of the best actors of that time. Its a great family film! It makes you feel good through the whole movie!

The Long Ships
The Long Ships This was one of my favourite Saturday afternoon at the movies adventure movie that I was adicted to as a kid. It is very easy to enjoying this DVD for its high spirited adventure the pure nostalgic factor without having to lament that it is basically a B movie - a pretty good B movie. Besides it is a great popcorn with the kids movie and will likely be just as well received by ...

Bancroft & Poitier at their best - a Classic!
Was fortunate enough to come across The Slender Thread on a cable movie channel several years ago. This film is Anne Brancroft & Sidney Poitier are at their best - extrodinary performances! Poitier plays a Seattle college student volunteering at a crisis center. One night when he's at the clinic alone, a woman (Bancroft) calls needing to talk saying she's taken pills. While Poitier tries to get ...

Great Movie a Cult Classic!!!! See it!!!
Starring Sidney Landau, Martin . McNair, Barbara (Tibbs Wife), "They Call me Mr. Tibbs is the sequel (sort of ) to `In the Heat of the Night' I saw this on turnerclassicmovies, and it's one of the most entertaining 70's movies I've seen and you've probably never heard of it. I can't blame you though, the 70's had a lot of `B' movies that only revolved around drugs, violence and had no plots and ...

Hallmark, 1999

Time Mag called this relationship a fascinating pas de deux
"Mandela and de Klerk" is a 1997 made-for-TV docudrama that a history buff shouldn't miss. I didn't even know of this until this month (Could this have been so under the radar or was my rock difficult to climb out of?). The film chronicles the efforts of then South African President Frederik Willem de Klerk to release anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela from prison and pave the way for a new ...

Checked it out to test my theory that Bruce Willis has never made a bad movie
I always think back to when he came on the scene on Moonlighting. Liked his character of course, but it never occurred to me that he would become a great actor like he has. Since then he's established himself as the sure thing in movie quality. He had to go a bit with this character, bad guys make him work harder I think. As mentioned by others some of the special effects were cheesy but consider ...

Look beyond your horizon
I have just finished watching this film for the second time and I'm still inspired. Mr. Poitier gives a phenominal performance as does his daughter. I'm buying a copy for my 15 year old niece, I think every teenager should see this so that they know that there is more out there in the world than what they are currently living today. The importance of education is something far too many people ...
