I Love Everything About This Movie
Yes, I admit it. This movie is my all-time favorite. And the first time I saw it, it wasn't. On that occasion the auditorium was filled with students who'd seen it before and laughed *before* the funny parts. I was peeved and also somewhat horrified about the idea of such an age-discrepant couple. Fast forward some years, and I saw it again. In silence. Wow!!! The music (nearly all of it by Cat ...

Turner Home Ent, 1996

DVD now PLEASE
I love this movie. I haven't seen it in years and I am dismayed to learn that it isn't available on DVD yet. This is one of the best teen movies I have ever seen. It's sweet, honest, funny and kind. Please release Angus on DVD soon powers that be. Thanks!

Shirley Valentine [VHS]

Shirley Valentine
I bought this movie for my friends (2 movies). I have had this movie in my possession for over 15 years. This movie is beloved by many of my friends. I wanted to buy it on DVD, but it was too expensive. Shirley Valentine is a must see for anyone going through a change of life or divorce. It was a one woman play in London and the movie embellished it. Shirley is fantastic. I know the ...

Same Time Next Year [VHS]

Alan Alda, Ellen Burstyn

Universal Studios, 1993

Title says it all
This is a great story about a couple married to other people who meet by accident, fall in love and continue an affair for almost 25 years by meeting one time each year for a weekend before going back to their families. Nothing sleazy which is why it's so compelling, but fun to watch as they grow and change over the years. Recommended for anyone who ever fell in love and knew it wouldn't work, ...

Dead Solid Perfect [VHS]

Warner Home Video, 1994

golf life as it used to be
As a former tour player now out of the game, this film captures alot of what the PGA tour used to be. The race to "Monday Qualifiers" by what we were referred to as "rabbits" was filled with alot of the shenanigans this movie portrays. I'm sure the PGA wasn't especially thrilled with the movie, but this system produced greats like Trevino, Rodriguez, and many more. Would love to see this movie ...

A New Leaf [VHS]

Paramount, 1998

A New Leaf
Having read many of the reviews here, I just want to submit my 2 cents worth to try to have this movie released on DVD - both the current version AND the original 3 hour version. This movie is, by far and away, my most favorite movie of all time. There are no flaws in it. It is Walter Matthau at his best and Elaine May is superb. Comedy in general gives people much more from Hollywood, than ...

Pretty Woman (Aniv) [VHS]

279 reviews
Richard Gere, Julia Roberts

Walt Disney Video, 2000

something new
Pretty Woman is my favorite movie and I thought I almost knew it by heart. What a surprise when there were two additional scenes in this video that I had never seen. They really helped explain the romance of Vivian and Edward and progressed the movie. The additional "stuff" was just that, but the movie did not fail to please.

The Quiet Man [VHS]

331 reviews
John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara

Republic Pictures, 1998

A must see classic
This was John Wayne's best true romantic comedy, and it is one of the best films of all times. The cinematography is at times breathtaking. The story is warm and funny. Best of all, you get a real sense of belonging to the small Irish town in which the film is set. You'll feel the community so fully that you'll be sorry when the film is over and you have to return to your own. John Ford and ...

The Farmer's Daughter (1947) [VHS]

Loretta Young, Joseph Cotten

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999

KATIE FOR CONGRESS - an Honest Politician and a Great Movie
In an election year when most voters are wondering which candidate is the least dishonest, which is the lesser evil, The Farmer's Daughter is not only refreshing but instructive. It contrasts a political "machine" with a lone, honest voice crying in the political wilderness. Katie is that voice. She is the attractive housemaid of a powerful but amiable family, called the Morleys, who have been ...

Only the Lonely [VHS]

John Candy, Maureen O'Hara

20th Century Fox, 1995

Only the Lonely
This is a good humorous movie about a nomineering mother. I remembered it fromm years past and purchased it to show to a paritcular person. The humor and scarcasism come through very strongly. Both John Candy and Maureen O'Hara do a superb job of role playing.

Summer House [VHS]

9 reviews

Hallmark, 1995

Quirky masterpiece!
This movie is so priceless in so many ways, it's a crime that it's not out on DVD. It's a pity its considered "little"; maybe in futre decades, it will become "big." I've read the novel that this is based on, and I actually like the film bette!! Not that the novel isn't good. The movie, hoever, manages not only to cover the same ground more efficiently, but it packs in some extra nuances. And ...

Foul Play [VHS]

80 reviews
Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase

Paramount, 1997

One of The Best Comedies Ever
This wonderful film is laugh and laugh and laugh out loud funny. Fantastic writing, perfect soundtrack, great film for the whole family. The scene where Goldie's sweet, gentle character takes on "The Dwarf" never fails to make me laugh until I cry no matter how many times I see it. They just don't make comedies like this any more.

Sixteen Candles [VHS]

Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall

Universal Pictures, 1992

Sixteen Candles
This is a great teen flick. It takes you on a walk of teens living different life styles and how kids really do think they have to live up to a style. But when it comes to real love in the movie and real life, Love will out stand the rules of money, fame, style and friends. Even though its over 20 years old, I love it when it first came out and still love it. And if you own this one, you have ...

Love Among the Ruins [VHS]

Katharine Hepburn, Laurence Olivier

20th Century Fox, 1989

Wonderful movie!
I, too, want to cast my vote for this wonderful movie to be released on a DVD. I have a VHS tape and am so afraid something will happen to it and I will lose this movie. It is an all-time favorite with a great, romantic story, comedic touches, wonderful cast - it's just the BEST!

great times not forgotton
Oh, How do we wish those times were here now?? This is a wonderful film that I love to watch over and over. All the cast are so good and so funny. It's one of the classic film's of all times. All teenagers at that time wanted to be like those four girls. Nothng could be better then going to the beach and finding lots of fun and lots of cute boys. It sure brings back alot of good times for me and ...

Don't Tell Her It's Me

Used People [VHS]

Shirley MacLaine, Kathy Bates

20th Century Fox, 1998

Brings Back Memories
Please release a DVD! This beautiful film truly captures the essence of a New York family in the 60s. Great casting, great talent, great acting and beautiful photography make this film likely to make those of us who experienced this time period in NY very sentimental.

Gidget Goes Hawaiian [VHS]

James Darren, Michael Callan

Sony Pictures, 1994

Let's All Go Hawaiian!!!
This movie is a load of fun, as is the original. While I think that the late Sandra Dee was the best Gidget, Deborah Walley (RIP)is definitely running a close second!!! Now that all three of the Gidget films are available on DVD in one collection (it's about time!), it is such a fantastic trip down nostalgia lane. Gidget is so upset over her parents' surprise Hawaiian vacation, and her ...
