1.Once Upon A Time In The West [1969] starring: Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson, Gabriele Ferzetti directed by: Sergio Leone January 01, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.48
This is close to a perfect film. Sergio Leone at his best, Henry Fonda as a bad guy, Charles Bronson as the "goodie" AND with an Ennio Morricone score. What more could you ask for? Cinematically stunning with some incredible sequences that Leone was not afraid to linger over, a strong plot and a great script. A truly fantastic film.

2.The Cassandra Crossing [1977] starring: Sophia Loren, Richard Harris, Martin Sheen, O.J. Simpson, Lionel Stander directed by: George P. Cosmatos February 28, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.95
In 1976, two rail-orientated films were released : "Silver Streak", directed by Arthur Hiller, and the more superior disaster-epic, "The Cassandra Crossing", directed by George Pan Cosmatos. The Cassandra Crossing centres around the chain of events of two terrorists mounting a raid on The International Health Organisation in Geneva, and results in both becoming infected with the plague, and one of them escaping on the Euro-Continental Express carrying this deadly epidemic. Enter Richard Harris as Dr Johnathan Chamberlain, Ingrid Thulin, as Dr Stradler, and Burt Lancaster as the unpleasant Colonel Steven MacKenzie as the main players as each one of them has a different method of containing the disease.

3.Cul-De-Sac [1966] starring: Donald Pleasence, Françoise Dorléac, Lionel Stander, Jack MacGowran, Iain Quarrier directed by: Roman Polanski October 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.93
It has been 30 years since I first saw this film, yet it still rates as one of my all time favourites. Forget about special effects and daredevil stunts-you won't see either of those in Cul-De-Sac. It's a strange film which highlights the devastating effect that unexpected events can have on human relationships. At first glance it's a black comedy, but running throughout the film are dark menacing undercurrents which maintain the attention of the audience. All of the leading acters are good, but Donald Pleasance, as the bumbling, insecure host to his unwelcome guests is outstanding. In my opinion his best performance ever. Polanski's quirky direction has never been bettered, and the exterior photography is spectacular. Brilliant.

7.Mr Deeds Goes to Town [1936] starring: Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur, George Bancroft, Lionel Stander, Douglass Dumbrille directed by: Frank Capra April 07, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.98
It was in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town that Frank Capra perfected the blend of comedy and social commentary that would become his trademark. The screwball comedy was graceful rather than frantic and the social elements of Robert Riskin's fine screenplay are handled in an even-handed manner that earned Capra the second of his three Acadamy Awards for Best Director. Both Gary Cooper as the tuba playing no nonsense Longfellow Deeds and Jean Arthur as the reporter who exploits him until she falls for his goodness are wonderful in this true Capra classic. Longfellow Deeds (Cooper) lives in the small town of Mandrake Falls where he makes a living writing greeting card poems and spends his free time playing the tuba. He is less than enthused when a bunch of ... Read More:

8.New York.New York [1977] starring: Martin Scorsese\|Liza Minnelli\|Robert De Niro\|Lionel Stander June 17, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.90
Hello, The first time I saw this movie was when i was 14. I was completely fascinated with everything in it - "The laughter, the tears, the Jazz, the Blues; everything that makes New York, New York". At the age of 14 i was still training to become a classical pianist, so there was already the musical side of me undergoing a development. However, the movie (the memories of the movie and the strong impression of it) stayed with me forever. Look, Martin Scorsese loves his city; New York is not just another city for him; he loves it! This movie encompasses all the selected good stuff from the jazz scene that has created the image of New York. Quite skilfully a parallel is drawn between big bands and individuals who would play somewhere in dark ... Read More:

9.The Good Die First starring: Lee Van Cleef, Antonio Sabato, Gordon Mitchell, Lionel Stander, Bud Spencer directed by: Giorgio Stegani October 30, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.99
Based on the only (very favourable) review of this film on this site to date I had, alas, the misfortune to purchase it a few days ago. The picture quality is worse than appalling - the transfer is clearly from videotape with all its attendant blemishes and dropouts. It is fuzzy with quite awful colour and though the original movie was clearly shot in scope the presentation here is 4:3 with extensive cropping at both sides. Totally unwatchable. I threw it in the bin after 20 seconds of viewing. I notice that the Amazon sales rank of this dvd is in excess of 45,000. Surely I can't be the only person to have experienced this?

10.A Star Is Born [1937] starring: Janet Gaynor, Fredric March, Adolphe Menjou, May Robson, Andy Devine directed by: William A. Wellman, Jack Conway February 19, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.79
A STAR IS BORN is the story of an innocent young woman who rises to fame in Hollywood. Her movie star husband helps her get started in her career while he is already on the skids because of his alcoholic behavior. Besides telling a great yarn the film also provides a candid expose of the movie industry before World War II. Janet Gaynor and Fredric March are superb in the leading roles. The strong supporting cast includes Adolphe Menjou, May Robson, Andy Devine and Lionel Stander. Janet Gaynor actually retired not too long after making this movie and did only occasional acting later in life. She had been very active in Hollywood during the 1920's and 1930's. Director William Wellman directed many other good films including PUBLIC ENEMY. It is ... Read More:
