Scarface (1983)
How did they get that much F-ing language and violence past the ratings committee back in 1983? The upcoming "platinum edition" is supposedly rated "X" but I don't think that's even a real MPAA rating. Perhaps it's something in the 20 minutes of deleted scenes.

The Great Gatsby, perhaps the first preppy novel?

My favorite movie ever.From the opening scene, the soundtrack is perfect, you watch as Harold prepares and then hangs himself. This is one of several brilliant scenes where he fakes his own suicides desperately trying to get the attention of his rich mother. Enter Maude, an eccentric old woman he meets at a funeral. It's a love story. A love story with life.

"Gladys Glover has just lost her modelling job when she meets filmmaker Pete Sheppard shooting a documentary in Central Park. For Pete it's love at first sight, but Gladys has her mind on other things -- like making a name for herself. Through a fluke of advertising she winds up with her name plastered over 10 billboards throughout city. Suddenly all of New York is clamoring for Gladys Glover without knowing why." This movie is a still pertinent in a world of blogs, net celebrity and reality stars.

Oh the Muppets... you make every classic story better. And Kermit makes a great Bob Cratchit. And you can't forget Michael Caine.

Some people think this is a feature length Macy's commercial. But those cynical Bah Humbugs need some Christmas cheer in their life.

But out of his limited budgets and lurid studio-provided titles, he crafted masterpieces of horror and suspense. His atmospheric films are often neglected and rarely talked about and this boxed set includes the best for an incredibly reasonable price. These are truly artistic thrillers all together in one collection for less than $30 bucks. Don't let the silly titles fool you...these are serious films about the dark half of mankind. To quote an editorial review of the collection, James Agee, the premier American film critic of the 1940s, reckoned that Val Lewton was one of the three foremost creative figures in Hollywood--an assessment yet more impressive when we consider that the other two were Charles Chaplin and Walt Disney. Includes: Cat People / The Curse of the Cat People / I Walked with a Zombie / The Body Snatcher / Isle of the Dead / Bedlam / The Leopard Man / The Ghost Ship / The Seventh Victim / Shadows in the Dark

My tastes definitely run to the classics when it comes to movies. I could watch the Indiana Jones movies a million times and never get sick of them.

James Garner substitutes for Rock Hudson in this hilarious Doris Day outing. Housewife Beverly Boyer (Day) happens by chance to give an executive of Happy Soap an honest appraisal of one of his company's products. Charmed by her forthright and honest manner, he makes Beverly the company spokesperson. When she becomes an advertising sensation, her husband (Garner) has to deal with the social ramifications of his wife making more money than he does. Day and Garner are both in good form, and Garner nicely portrays the mounting frustration of bewildered husband Gerald.

I didn't think I'd like another P&P version other than the classic with Laurence Olivier but this one is lovely. I like how for a period piece it keeps everything "real" down to the mud at the bottom of the girls' gowns as they traipse through the mud during their walks through the countryside. And Keira Knightley isn't annoying in this at all.

We love to watch this 1938 version of A Christmas Carol because it's classic 1930's-style acting...it's so over the top, but so innocent and heart-wearming. You just have to love Dickon's classic Christmas story - and there's just something about the grainy black and white that makes it that much more special.

Roman Polanski's brooding film noir exposes the darkest side of the land of sunshine, the Los Angeles of the 1930s, where power is the only currency--and the only real thing worth buying. Fabulous movie - a must-see!!

Three of our favorite movies.' Network' a satire from Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet about sensationalism and the almighty dollar in television, 'Dog Day Afternoon' in which a robbery should have taken 10 minutes - 4 hours later, the bank was like a circus sideshow - 8 hours later, it was the hottest thing on live T.V. 12 hours later, it was all history. And it's all true.... And 'All The President's Men' in which reporters Woodward and Bernstein uncover the details of the Watergate scandal that leads to President Nixon's resignation. Three of the best movies ever made!!!!

You know it's the writing and the acting that are keeping your attention, because there's no action, no set to speak of, no special effects, and not even any color. Made in 1957 and still gripping, insightful, and relevant.

It's not a syrupy Hillary Duff chick flick. Every year we watch this movie on a really cold rainy day with lots of (spiked) hot chocolate and yummy food to keep us going. This movie is good, good, GOOD. It's epic like they just don't do epic anymore. You won't believe how unbelieveably cool Clark Gable is - and Vivian Leigh is both a complete basket case and total bad a##.

In fact, they all are...Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. The entire movie is one snarky, drunken, confused love-fest and it's fabulous! I didn't see this film until I was in my early 20's, and I was actually upset at my parents for not making me watch it sooner. Don't even bother renting this one. Just buy it and thank me later.
