A compelling adaptation of Remarque's classic novel, All Quiet on the Western Front offers striking images--including battle scenes that look great today--and a...
It's really easy to tell this is a child of the early sound era - there is lots of overacting and it is very visual in its telling. Modern audiences will find it very heavy-going though.
I've seen the film twice now, and it is dated. A classic stands the test of time: what had been called naturalistic acting in this film is today melodrama. Of course, this is a landmark film, but...
This is another incomplete dvd of a an excellent tv drama. I getting tired of buying what I think is going to be a complete film only to discover that for some bonehead reason it's been cut to...
This is really a charming, sweet, intelligent chapter in the Fellini saga. Made in 1983, when great film artists like Fellini were having difficulty getting projects financed, it stands as another...
During the first 10 minutes of Federico Fellini's "And the Ship Sails On" the viewer goes through the hisory of cinema. First we see a b&w image, but no sound. Slowly the soundtrack makes its way...
A great World War 1 classic aviation movie. The aerial combat footage, done without any computer virtual reality animation is quite spectacular. The acting, especially from the european cast was...
I'll never forget the first time my father took me downtown to see this film during it's first run in 1966. The flying sequences to this day have never been equaled... and with no digital effects....
This terrible adaptation of Hemingway's novel misses the point entirely (***spoiler*** it literally ends with Gary Cooper holding Helen Hayes in his arms and intoning...
United forever in this 1932 film, are Gary Cooper (1901-61) and Helen Hayes (1900-93) in this chaste adaptation of the 1929 Hemingway novel, whose title - Farewell to Arms - simply means...
After the war has ended on it's last days, soldiers still obey and must decide if they should kill or not. Psychological thriller with a lot of violence. I would definetly pick this up for such a...
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Italian movie industry made a number of World War II films. They ranged from trash to average to occasionally excellent. THE FIFTH DAY OF PEACE represents...
I have always been a fan of both Judy Garland and Gene Kelly. The pairing of the two together for a musical was genious. The characters are believable, the story shows all the ranges of...
Great movie. I love watching Gene Kelly and Judy Garland together on the screen. The other reviewers have commented wonderfully on that. However, this is not a widescreen DVD. It the tap dance...
This movie I think was just plain depressing! Just when you think something good and happy will happen, someone dies, people seperate, bones are broken, so on and so forth. This movie got alot of...
"Gallipoli" is directed by Peter Weir (director of "Master & Commander" & "The Truman Show") and is one of the most powerful movies I've seen in a good long while. The movie stars Mel Gibson and...
A thought-provoking movie that is also a consistently interesting depiction of prison camps and escape, Grand Illusion works on nearly every level; rightfully considered...
This story is set in 1916. French soldiers are in a bar. Marechal is summoned to HQ for a mission to photograph the enemy lines. But they are shot down (off camera) and brought to the enemy...
First let me say thatI was raised in France with this type of films. I still think "La regle du Jeu" is one the truly great films of all time. However I cannot dissociate this film from the...
The 2008 Collector's Edition, on David Lean's 100th birthday, of "Lawrence of Arabia" is not different in contents than the 2000 leather-bound box 2-disc edition by Columbia Pictures, though the...
In the product description is said it has subtitles in spanish, due to the fact that my dad only speaks spanish I thought it would be a great gift for him and make him remember his days of youth,...
Re: the budget Columbia Tri-Star DVD. I have always loved this movie, but be warned, this single DVD version is NOT the director's cut. It is the restored 1988 version, and very beautiful, but...
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is a true rarity in moviedom, a film that is intellectually engaging, filled with life and innovation, a film that stands as a celebration of cinema, that...
If you first read Maugham's novel and wanted to see a "movie version" of that novel, I believe that you, as I was, will be sorely disappointed by this movie. Way too many important parts passed...
Good film based on the book of one of history's great novelists
One cannot help but be mesmerized by the wordcraft of Willy Maugham. Perhaps the best novel of all time is his "The Moon and Sixpence," a quasi-biographical social commentary of late 19th early...
I get this movie. In a lot of ways it tells the story better than the novel. It has a fine cast, and a great soundtrack. But I'm sorry, Bill Murray was still a whelp, and he made an ambitious...
An okay time-passer for "Golden Age" film fanatics
Well, first off, if you're checking out Revolt of the Zombies as some very early Night of the Living Dead (1968)-type film, forget it. This is about "zombies" in a more psychological sense, where...
The word `zombie' is thrown around a lot in this film titled Revolt of the Zombies (1936), and it made me question if the term was being used properly, as I always associated it with regards to...
I happen to love this Marine film...it appealed to my Marine persona throughout the movie...it may have dwelled on the love interests in the Reserve Area at length, but the mud-Marines and their...
I've watched the first five minutes of this movie three times, and I love it. It's 1918 and a straggling company of mud-splattered American Marines are marching through a bleak, barren and blasted...
This is an amazing, classic war film taken from the French perspective. As far as I am concerned this film easily rivals All Quiet on the Western Front in portraying a compelling portrait of the...
Just now got to watching this oldie Pro-War movie of the 50s. It wasn't as good as I had heard, but the pro-war stance makes me want to go back to serve. Kirk's colonel Dax makes all officers...
that only proves that the french army is nothing but a bunch of losers. no wonder they lost two great world wars. the self-serving, self-righteous genenral, only served his army and his france with...
A Dirk Bogarde and Jospeph Losey film partnership (that also included The Servant, Modesty Blaze) gives this hard hitting, anti war film a thrilling edge missing from British Cinema of the time....
This movie is the best "stocking stuffer" to come along in a long time! Open your presents and enjoy your Christmas dinner. Then, if you want to understand one reason we celebrate the day "God so...
Film was entertaining but unrealistic. The director said in the interview the examples of soldiers communicating with the enemy were much more subtle. Even my French wife who lost her...
