Randy Quaid, Kathryn Harrold

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 ...

Sixteen Candles

194 reviews
Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall

Universal Pictures, 1992

A near-perfect teen comedy
"Sixteen Candles" is arguably the most well known film the the 1980s John Huges teen-film cannon. The film is the exact picture of high school as we try to imagine it as kids, and exactly what we remember when when we are reminescing as adults. The film centers upon Molly Ringwald as we follow her around on her sixteenth birthday. Like all girls, Samantha has been building up her ...

The Long, Long Trailer

80 reviews
Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz

MGM (Warner), 1994

PLEASE put this hilarious classic on DVD!!
What a fantastic pairing of the classic Luci & Desi comedy team, even while "I Love Lucy" was still airing before live audiences. An initial fun point was the change of 'Lucy & Ricky' to 'Taci & Nicky'. Both my parents and I saw this aired on TV, and laughed so hard we were repeatedly wiping our tears as Taci fell out the tilted trailer into the mud, was tossed with the salad while Nicky serenely ...

Moonstruck

Cher, Nicolas Cage

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Moonstruck
A great all-around movie especially if you're Italian or an Italian wannabe like my husband. We watch this movie several times a year. Cher is great in it and so is the ensemble cast. I highly recommend it!

Death Takes a Holiday (1934)

Fredric March, Evelyn Venable

Universal Studios, 1999

Romance Through a Glass Darkly
From the moment a strange shadow seems to be following the car lovely Evelyn Venable is riding in the mood for this beautiful and darkly romantic film is set. When death itself takes on physical form to understand better why humans fear him so, the stage is set for a rich and unusual film experience. One of the great films of the 1930's, it is not as well-remembered as it should be. There is a ...

The Quiet Man

John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara

Republic Pictures, 1998

GREAT MOVIE
Fantasic movie. One of my favorite John Wayne movies even though it was not a western. The soundtrack is beautiful.

Weird Science

103 reviews
Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith

Universal Pictures, 1996

Excellent 80s comedy!
Two nerdy high school students inadvertently create the perfect female through an experiment. With her charm and her powers, she helps the two gain confidence in approaching women and being affirmative and outspoken with bullies, such as big brother Chet, and the post-apocalyptic road warrior from Mad Max. Hilarious and entertaining! Easily in my top 20.

A New Leaf

62 reviews
Rose Arrick, James Coco

Paramount, 1998

An absolute gem of a movie!
Let's play Name Your Favorite Comedy. "Good Morning, Vietnam," "As Good as It Gets,"and "Little Miss Sunshine." Yes, yes, all good. Now consider "A New Leaf." Thought so. You've never heard of it. And that's a shame because this is my favorite comedy and that of other reviewers on this page. Why? Walter Matthau, a superb actor in any movie, stars with Elaine May, little known as an actress. ...

Shag

Phoebe Cates; Scott Coffey; Bridget Fonda; Annabeth Gish; Page Hannah

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Careful!
Be careful to get the correct version (the one w/ the characters riding in a car) of the VCR tape so that you get the period music by the original artists. The DVD doesn't have the original artists, either. Also be careful whom you buy from. The copy of the version that I did want (bought separately) had huge amounts of static, & the seller was very rude about it. At the end, the song that is ...

Adorable movie!
Totally entertaining. Heartwarming and funny, and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are simply magical together. I enjoyed every minute and even applauded at the end.

Palm Springs Weekend

Troy Donahue, Connie Stevens

Warner Home Video, 1998

The Biggest Alka Seltzer I've Ever Seen
This was a fun 60's movie that captured the essence of the times. The cast was very well put together, although I had to chuckle at Troy Donahue with his obvious false eyelashes. He was prettier than Stephanie Powers! Tina Cole should have had a bigger part but boy was she ever grounded after those "leather jackets" trashed her parent's house. Jerry Van Dyke looks and acts so much like his ...

Harold & Maude (Aniv)

299 reviews
Harvey Brumfield, Eric Christmas

Paramount, 1997

I haven't lived ... but I've died a few times ...
Hal Ashby's masterpiece Harold and Maude is so many people's favourite movie, that it's mind-boggling. When the film was released in 1971 it was panned by the bulk of the reviewers and was thought of as something that would be quickly forgotten as it was not easy for the Academic journalists to pigeonhole. Both, Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon won Golden Globes for best Actress and Best Actor that year ...

What's Up Doc

Barbra Streisand, Ryan O'Neal

Warner Home Video, 1993

Tons of laughs!!!
This is one very funny movie-one that the whole family can enjoy together without the threat of boredom. This writer is one for one-liners, puns, and jokes of all sorts and this movie allowed me to rant and rave about it's funny points. The entire cast does a great job under the great direction of Peter Bogdanovich. From beginning to end this movie will have you laughing, giggling, clapping, and ...

The April Fools

23 reviews
Jack Lemmon, Catherine Deneuve

20th Century Fox, 1998

My All Time Favorite Movie
I was working in a movie theater when "The April Fools" first came out. Once the customers were seated, I had a choice of watching either this movie or the then mega hit The Graduate. I saw The Graduate just once. I watched The April Fools over 50 times. I've watched it every time it showed on TV over the past 35 years. I own it, and I'll buy the DVD when I find it. And I'll continue to ...

The Ma & Pa Kettle Collection: The Egg and I

15 reviews
Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray

Universal Studios, 1995

Loads of Family Fun!
This warm and funny account of a newly married couple trying to make a go of it on a backwoods chicken farm, based on Betty MacDonald's popular best seller, was a big hit with audiences during the 1940's and has lost none of its appeal today. This is a great film the entire family can watch together. Chester Erskine produced, directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Fred F. Finklehoffe in this ...

Breakfast at Tiffany's

282 reviews
Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard

Paramount, 2001

Wait til the end
Breakfast at Tiffany's was one of my mother's favorite movies. Many times, late at night, you could find yourself outside her TV room listening to her croon the words to Moon River along with the TV. Many times I'd catch the end of the movie, with Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard and that cat. And the rain. Can't forget the rain. I thought it was all 60s and sentimentality. Then I rented ...
