| 1. |  | Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots from Universal Studios Price: $14.99 Customer Review:  "Anne of the Thousand Days" is one of Hollywood's finest. Richard Burton is superb as Henry VIII. The movie is thought provoking and well acted. The final scene of Elizabeth headed down the garden lane with great determination is an historical statement one does not easdily forget. |

| 2. |  | Hopscotch - Criterion Collection from Criterion Price: $21.99 Customer Review:  This is an odd choice to get the full Criterion treatment as it's a fairly tame cold war romantic comedy thriller with a very low-key romance and few real thrills or laughs. Charade this ain't. Good location shooting, and it's interesting to think there was a time when a mainstream entertainment... |

| 3. |  | Elizabeth R from BBC Warner Price: $33.49 Customer Review: Glenda Jackson gives the performance of her life as the Virgin Queen. Far superior than any big screen treatment devoted to the life of Elizabeth I, this excellent British mini-series is at once historically accurate and highly entertaining. Costumes are spectacular and sets authentic-looking, but... |

| 4. |  | The Princess and the Goblin from Allumination Price: $7.98 Customer Review:  What a rip-off! The story The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald, is so fun and so rich that this DVD has no right to even associate itself with the real thing. Why did the makers of this schlock not think the original details were worthy of duplicating? |

| 5. |  | Losing Isaiah from Paramount Customer Review: This movie is one of my favorites...one which I shared with foster parents in my professional capacity as a social worker. We see the inevitable pull between birth mother and adoptive mother, cheering for each even as the tug nears its conclusion. One of the downsides of this movie is the... |

| 6. |  | Little Caesar from Warner Home Video Price: $17.99 Customer Review: Iconic means pertaining to images. There's not a lot of plot to this movie, but the imagery blows you away; and stays with you forever. The rise and fall of Rico is a very simple story. He gets to the top by stopping at nothing. His readiness to shoot to kill, almost for the fun of it, scares half... |

| 7. |  | House Calls from Universal Studios Price: $11.49 Customer Review:  Good period movie with fine performances by Mattau and Glenda Jackson. Mattau plays a Doctor who must choose between empty relationships with young sexpots or a good older woman. Guess who wins. Good representation of films of that era. |

| 8. |  | Women in Love from MGM (Video & DVD) Price: $10.99 Customer Review: I think it is a love story between the two men and the women were just incidental. The women had magnificent breasts, can't say the same about the men's equipment - of course, poles were half-mast. But Bates is really gorgeous. Also, I think Jeanie should have had the Oscar instead of Glenda.... |

| 10. |  | Sunday Bloody Sunday from MGM (Video & DVD) Price: $13.49 Customer Review: I have loved this film since it was first released in Canada. I saw it at a theatre on Yonge Street in Toronto at a Saturday matinee where the kiss between the two men started a mini-riot sparked by some teen-aged boys in the audience. They were probably expecting a gangster movie ! I have... |

| 11. |  | A Touch of Class from Turner Home Ent Price: $17.99 Customer Review: This is one of my favorite romantic comedies, for several reasons: good writing, fine acting, London in the early 70's, and Glenda Jackson. It evokes a time which was memorable for those of us who were born and raised during the turbulent 60's. After a decade of such angst, society seemed to regain... |

| 12. |  | Marat / Sade from MGM (Video & DVD) Customer Review: An excellent movie, which is no more or less than stunning, stark and bleak filmed version of Peter Weiss' haunting, diturbing and magnificent play. It is very well cast, with the same actors who first perfromed the play in London under Peter Brook's direction. Great perfomances all round by... |

| 13. |  | The Six Wives of Henry VIII/Elizabeth R from BBC Warner Price: $125.99 Customer Review: I saw these serials when they were first broadcast on Materpiece Theatre. I loved them then and now I know more about history so I get even more out of the series. It's intelligent. |

Kino---the company that releases and re-releases great flicks at (usually) high prices---has issued the entire American Film Theatre (AFT) collection in one 15-disc thin-case box set. But that's not all:... |

Let's have a bunch of people, boys and girls, men and women, all going through therapy, I mean psychoanalytical therapy, with two doctors, a man and a... |

| 16. |  | The Princess and the Goblin from Good Times Video Price: $9.98 Customer Review: I've loved this movie since I was a kid and was thrilled to see it on dvd for one very important reason...SUBTITLES! Finally I was able to read the real words for the song Curdy sings! I've been trying to figure the words out for years. |

| 17. |  | The Maids from Kino Video Price: $26.99 Customer Review: This is a special American Film Theater production of a stageplay. Some outdoor scenes have been added. The setting is in Paris. The time span covered is one day, from early morning to late evening. A woman lives in an upscale neighborhood in Paris. She has two maids to take care of cleaning... |

| 18. |  | The Warner Gangsters Collection (The Public Enemy / White Heat / Angels with Dirty Faces / Little Caesar / The Petrified Forest / The Roaring Twenties) from Warner Home Video Customer Review: I haven't watch ALL of them yet, but if you're into classic GANGSTER Noir from the 1930's and 1940's..... THIS IS THE ONE TO HAVE...... Bogart, Robinson, and Cagney..... What more needs to be said, but.... "I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD, MA!!!!!" The heavies today could take some seriouys... |

| 19. | ![The Rainbow [Region 2]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Kd3tVJ91L._SL160_.jpg) | The Rainbow [Region 2] Customer Review: An interesting adaptation of part of the D.H. Lawrence novel of the same title. Sammi Davis plays Ursala, the young woman who is eager to experience Life. One wishes for more depth of passion from this woman than we get here (her whiny voice is a definite negative), but the Lawrence themes of... |

| 20. |  | Nasty Habits from Jef Films/Mvd Customer Review: I agree that the quality is terrible: transferred from an old videotape, no doubt. Regardless, this film is HILARIOUS!!! After a while, I didn't notice the poor quality, and just roared with laughter at the antics of these connivers. Sandy Dennis's "John Dean" steals the show, and Melina Mercouri's... |

| 21. |  | Salome's Last Dance from Geneon [Pioneer] Customer Review: This is easily the best version of Oscar Wilde's play out there, if only because it's a comedy. All other versions of Salome act as though the overly loquacious protestations of love and ridiculous tragedy are meant to be taken seriously and not tongue-in-cheek. Wilde wrote the play not as the... |

| 23. | [no image] | Heading For Heaven from Alpha Video Price: $7.98 Customer Review: This is one of those little movies of the '40s you don't hear much about. A cute, minor screwball type comedy with Stu Erwin as a character who mistakenly thinks he's got only four months to live & tries to make provisions for his family for after his untimely demise. This all initiates after a... |

The war, the heroic war is supposed to bring the best of man in the limelight of their personalities. It sure... |
