1.John Grisham's The Rainmaker [1998] starring: Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight, Mary Kay Place directed by: Francis Ford Coppola March 04, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.90
I truly feel that this was the best adaptation of one of John Grisham's books. It was funny, sad and had endearing characters, the only bad thing to it was that it was very slow-paced, but what can you expect from Coppola. Damon and DeVito are a perfect team fighting against that corrupt agency, and Jon Voight was very easy to dislike. I found myself rooting for the heroes although I already knew how it was going to end. I could've done without the subplot about the scorned wife (Claire Danes), though. But the film as a whole was truly something special.

2.Son Of The Morning Star [1991] starring: Gary Cole, Rosanna Arquette, Stanley Anderson, Edward Blatchford, George Dickerson directed by: Mike Robe March 31, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £13.99
The best ever filmed action scenes of The Greasy Grass - Little Big Horn... The best possible reenactors... The best uniformology around... And it REALLY clicks with ALL the books written about it... (at least the BEST of them...) SO???... WHY NOT DVD???... even the HISTORICALLY inferior THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON is on DVD (and I have it, TOO!!! BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT OLD FLICK IN B&W... AND QUITE GOOD ACW PERIOD FILM...), and was a favorite when a child!... but that silly hollow square AT THE LBH !!!... forget about CUSTER OF THE WEST... it is a shame... and revisionists can have LITTLE BIG MAN too!!!... I DO NOT THINK CUSTER WAS MAD... OVERCONFIDENT YES! SO RESUMING... WE OUT THERE... WANT THE DVD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!! ... Read More:

3.Anchors Aweigh [1945] starring: Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, Gene Kelly, José Iturbi, Dean Stockwell directed by: George Sidney (II) March 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.89
With this being the film that launched Frank Sinatra to major things for MGM, this proves to be a great classic musical that hits all the right spots. Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra play two sailors on shore leave and who both fall for the same woman. Cue some great song and dance numbers by the pair, together and apart. Kathryn Grayson is also excellent as the female lead with also some great songs to sing. Also, watch out for the much celebrated sequence with Gene Kelly partnering Jerry the mouse (from Tom & Jerry). All in all, an excellent film.

4.Gardens Of Stone [1987] starring: James Caan, Anjelica Huston, James Earl Jones, D.B. Sweeney, Dean Stockwell directed by: Francis Ford Coppola January 13, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.98
Touching and subtle film about the entertwining fates of a group of soldiers and their families and friends, with a real human touch. Deftly handled subjective views reflecting the 60's personal values in the era of the Vietnam War. Coppola doesn't let the film descend in to patriotic mush, but handles beautifully the characters as they form a family of the likeminded with different views. In many ways this was a trip down memory lane, reminding of many a young soldier I have met. This film is a fine tribute to the memory of their youthful eagerness and the meaning of life as it unfolds in the choices made for and by them.

6.Christine [1984] starring: Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, Harry Dean Stanton directed by: John Carpenter September 08, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
In 1957, one of the cars on the assembly line in Detroit seems cursed from the beginning. Strange events plague its creation for over twenty years, where geeky Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) needs to break away from his domineering mother (Christine Belford). His friend Dennis (John Stockwell) agrees, since he's tired of protecting him from the goons at school. While driving home, he and Dennis spot the fabled car collecting rust on a farm and buys it against Dennis' and his parents wishes. Fixing it up causes Arnie to start acting differently around Dennis and his mother, which causes everyone around him to become concerned for him. Suddenly, people around Arnie begin dying in mysterious ways, and a police inspector (Harry Dean Stanton) comes in to investigate the case, and discovers ... Read More:

8.The Secret Garden [1949] starring: Margaret O'Brien, Herbert Marshall, Dean Stockwell, Gladys Cooper, Elsa Lanchester directed by: Fred M. Wilcox
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.99
This is a wonderful film with Margaret O'Brien playing the character Mary Lennox. I bought this film on VHS from a seller, the film kept freezing up though which was very annoying! It's out of print, but all the other Secret Garden movies are out on DVD, and so should this one be! Please vote for the DVD release, the more votes the more likely it will go onto DVD!

9.Catchfire (1990) starring: Dennis Hopper, Jodie Foster, Dean Stockwell, Vincent Price, John Turturro directed by: Alan Smithee May 07, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.49
BACKTRACK is unbelievably dopey. Its only redeeming factor is that Jodie Foster shows an eye-popping amount of flesh - and it's no body double. And what a great set of legs! That's why I'm awarding two stars, one for each gam, which just goes to show the sophistication level of the film (AND my review of it). Anne Benton (Foster) is a "conceptual artist", which means, in the wacky Southern California milieu in which she has her gallery, she creates pieces using message board displays. You know, those where one line of illuminated text moves right to left across a long and narrow screen. Anyway, one night after experiencing a flat tire on the freeway, she witnesses a mob hit on the premises of an oil refinery. (For those LA viewers, it's the one just off the 405 south of LAX where ... Read More:

10.Long Day's Journey Into Night [1961] starring: Katharine Hepburn, Ralph Richardson, Jason Robards, Dean Stockwell directed by: Sidney Lumet January 13, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.95
Eugene O'Neill finished writing "Long Day's Journey Into Night" in 1940, but when he died in 1951 his will specifically stated the play was not to be produced until at least 25-years after his death. Because his widow relented and gave her permission for this "play of old sorrow written in tears and blood" we are left with this 1962 film and Katharine Hepburn's greatest acting performance. I first stumbled upon this film on late night television twenty years ago and I still remember staying up and crying throughout the emotionally devastating conclusion with the camera slowly pulling back from the family sitting around the table before a stunning series of emotional close ups of the doomed Tyrones. This painfully autobiographical play is set on the long day and night in 1912 when the ... Read More:
