"Old School" Movies

I've probably said this before, but when a person has the ability to make you truly enjoy something without saying a word- they've got something special. That's what Buster Keaton has- because throughout this whole film, I couldn't stop smiling, and I found myself actually laughing out loud and really enjoying this. And he never says a word! Magic. This one's really adorable and charming. See it!

Though I can't say I enjoyed it as much as "The Gold Rush," Charlie Chaplin was charming and endearing- as always- and won my heart. I enjoyed this film. =)

This film is ruddy brilliant! First of all, the special effects that were created in this film are absolutely incredible for the times! The dream sequence is amazing; I particularily enjoyed the part where he gets dropped in the middle of all the different locations- haha, so innovative and unique! Secondly, Buster Keaton's stunts were all performed by him, as he is known for- and the stunts in this film are CRAZY! This film truly proves that Buster Keaton went the extra mile to make a film, and this is absolutely one of the most creative and ground-breaking films I have seen! Oh- by the way- it sure is funny, too! Love it, love it, love it!

This movie is briliiant.

Fun little short featuring a very early performance from Spencer Tracey! Cool stuff.

This was just alright. I haven't seen a lot of Buster Keaton films, but my impression coming from those that I have seen is that what he does on screen without saying a word far surpasses a film where he talks; well, at least in regards to this one. Not to insult his voice, I don't mind it at all- but the type of humor and emotion he portrays in his silent films just seems to create so much more excitement, envolvement, and enjoyment. I wouldn't call this movie a bad movie, and I still find Buster Keaton charming and endearing in this film- but I highly recommend one of his silent works- and I am sure a lot of others would, too.

Great performances by Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, and Mary Astor. Very much passion between Gable and Astor. But you have to wonder how they got away with Gable's character being so verbally abusive to Jean's character; and the occasional racist remark here and there. I can only assume that it was of the times... people had not learnt what it means to be "politically incorrect" yet, perhaps? The conversation between Gable and Harlow still made for a feisty and interesting relationship. At least Jean Harlow bit back. :P For the heated and dramatic love triangle, this film wins it's redeeming points with audiences.

Clark Gable... *sigh*. Haha. Aside from that, wow- this movie was really good! I didn't excpect it to be so good, and now I wonder how I doubted it. The plot was excellent, the acting- wonderful, the humor- fantastic. A delight to watch!

A very entertaining story. Joan Crawford was charismatic and delightful to watch! Also a great performance from Charles Butterworth. Keep your ears open, he has the quite the sense of humor- it'll get you laughing!

I would have loved to see just a little bit more time spent between Crawford and Gable on screen- I think they had good chemistry, and would have enjoyed seeing more of it!

Great movie, though!

Sooo funny!

If you've seen "It Happened One Night", you'll be familiar with this story line. While this film is not a remake of the aformentioned, it's storyline is very similar. I was excited to see another take on this story, but this was just alright for me. It had it's high points, while the rest didn't captivate me as much as I hoped it would. I felt that it was a bit long, and didn't find the "spy" bit to be a very valuable part of the story. I think if they would have cut that out, it would have made a more well-rounded film. Although, then, it may have been far too similar to "It Happened One Night" to pass as a new picture! Not terrible, though. Joan Crawford and Clark Gable have pretty good chemistry.

A heartfelt film with a special message about the importance of father-son relationships, and the story of a very interesting journey that made a humble boy out of a person who was once a little too high on his thrown. Loved Spencer Tracy and Freddie Barthololmew- they complimented eachother wonderfully. A film with lots of character, emotion, and a meaningful message. Excellent.

A classic screwball comedy with the wonderful pairing of Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, who have great chemistry and play off eachother very well to create this very funny flick.

A very nice film, with excellent acting from the young cast, especially emotional performances from Mickey Rooney that will leave you with a tear in your eye, and as always- superb acting from Spencer Tracy.

I really enjoyed this movie. There is a lot of joy and energy in the kids in this film. They seem so full of life and they're so polite and innocent. You just don't see that in young people today. It makes me feel a little sad. =/

Simply wonderful. Errol Flynn captured and portrayed the spirit of the legendary "Robin Hood" with perfection. The costumes and sets were lavish and extravagant- stunning to look at! The sword fights and action scenes were thrilling! And the acting couldn't have been better! It's a solid classic version, out of the many versions, of the tales of Robin Hood. Extremely enjoyable, and one of the best!

Awesome!

I don't know about this one. The beginning half of the film was endearing but the film lost me somewhere between during and after their first performance.

This movie is incredible! I was skeptical going into it when I heard it involved politics- a topic that a large number of people might find boring, including me. But when I watched it, I saw that it was so much more than just politics. Jimmy Stewart gives an awe-inspiring performance, filled with so much conviction and commitment to the very end that I would go as far to say that it is one of the best performances in film- of all time! Honorable mentions must be made to Jean Arthur, who adds a lovely touch to this film- fueling "Mr. Smith" with encouragement and inspiration- and Claude Rains, for his emotional performance. This film is truly inspiring. It reminds us of hope, and that with passion and determination- one small person can make one huge difference. Add in a dose of American patriotism and you've got "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", a memorable piece of movie magic in film history.

One of the few and only courtroom dramas I can enjoy. This film gets a lot of congratulations for holding my attention!

I surprisingly enjoyed this film! I am not usually able to get into "period" films and I never quite enjoyed Errol Flynn before but I have to say that this performance changed my mind. And then there is Bette Davis, well- she was stunning as she is most always is. Loved the performances- very dramatic; the costumes were great. Very good film.

Incredible!

Yay!

Genuinely "real"/raw and honest performances from the entire cast, paired with very memorable dialogue and great direction from John Ford, makes this a solid classic and a must-see.

Wow, the beginning of this film sure packs a punch! Unfortunately, for me- the rest of the film didn't. This wasn't a bad movie, by any means. I mean, it's Bette Davis. She acted well throughout the entire film, but sadly the rest of the film wasn't packed with half as much excitement and intensity as the beginning- and for me, it became quite anti-climactic.

Clever, charming, romantic, funny; a perfect film. Awesome.

I really enjoyed this one, especially the scene where he goes to get his wife some clothes- totally hilarious, the work of someone who has truly perfected screwball comedy, haha.

Carry Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart! What a cast! Quite an enjoyable film. I liked it, it was very good.

Bogey is brilliant.

Quite the dramatic movie. I didn't expect it to be that dramatic, going into it- but it was pretty crazy. I liked it- it was a fun film.

This is a good movie. Very interesting plot. Quite an original idea!

James Stewart can SING?! =) I really enjoyed this movie, and it just goes to show how talented people were. He sings, and plays the harmonica and his performance was once again incredibly charming and wonderful. James Stewart is so great. Haha. Sounds like I have a little crush.

Timeless. Classic. Romantic. Lovely.

*sigh*

Simply wonderful!

Surprisingly, not one of my favorite Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn movies- even though it is one of the most well-acclaimed movies, there was something about it that just didn't make it for me. Still a good film, overall.

A great film, well done. Fantastic psycological thriller.

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall- those are the only two things you have to say about this movie, and you know it's good! I love this one, the dialogue is fantastic- and no one can deny the fire between Bogey and Bacall that would kick-start their relationship with eachother off-screen.

Cary Grant is absolutely outrageous in this movie! Sooo funny! A classic that everybody should see!

Hilarious, fun, and light-hearted. A very enjoyable movie.

Haven't seen many movies about composers, and being into classical music because I play the piano, it was a very interesting movie for me. Of course some of it is inaccurate, but this is not a biopic- it is a dramatic story based around Chopin.

A saucy and scandalous relationship between Cora and Frank, and a good plot with a satisfying ending.

Howard Hawks + Humphrey Bogart + Lauren Bacall = AMAZING film. I loved it SO much.

This is positively one of the greatest films of all time. Absolutely wonderful!

Very enjoyable.

Sometimes it was hard to keep up with the smaller stories going on in the plot- but you just have to make sure you pay attention. This is definitely a great film. Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford are absolutely maginificant together.

Funny and very enjoyable, with a star-studded cast including a grown up Shirley Temple. :D

Great performance from Bogey- but the story went on a little too long for me. It seemed to drag on. It could have been a little shorter and a lot of unecessary things could have been cut out. But, still a pretty good movie.

I LOVED this movie. John Wayne, and Montgomery Clift- two of my favourite actors, in the same movie! And boy do they do well together! I loved performances from both of them- and the plot is GREAT. A must see!

Loved it!

Wow! First thing I have to say is- Humphrey Bogart made me sooo nervous! Haha. Extra credit must be given to Bogey for that performance... I sure felt it! Right through the TV screen!

I wish there would have been a little more envolvement in the story of how the crime was solved, however. I think it would have added a little "something more" to the movie- which the movie could have used. But overall, an alright film.

Interesting!

A very cheeky and hilarious short about the crazy things some women do when shopping for bargains. You'll find yourself laughing and reminising of your own similar experiences as you watch this entertaining short! :)

It is really amazing how much talent was displayed in these types of films. The actors not only acted, but they could sing and dance with amazing skill. THESE people had REAL talent, and it never ceases to amaze me. I loved this story- Gene Kelly is absolutely daft, and it's incredibly entertaining. LOL.

This movie is SO good! It's hard for me to even describe it. Well let's see; the acting and performances from Bogey and Hepburn are outstanding, the plot is very well thought out and satisfying, there's action, and there's just enough romance to entertain those who wouldn't normally watch a film like this. And it kept me entertained the entire time! Really one of the most different characters from the usual Bogey, and Katharine and him make an unlikely pair from what we're used to- but it works so well! Excellent movie!

Maybe I would have enjoyed this better on the stage, but as a movie- I did not. Julie Harris's peformance was just too ridiculously melodramtic to me, for the most part, and I am usually one who enjoys performances that are a bit overdone! But it was a struggle for me to try and watch this film because it was just too much. And I never heard of a 12 year old who thought, talked, or acted that way! Maybe in past generations it was so, but being born in the '90's- the character was hard for me to believe or embrace, especially considering Julie Harris was probably about 27 years old when this was filmed- which really confused the perception of the character for me. I DID enjoy Ethel Waters, very much so.

On stage? Maybe. On screen? Not for me.

Fun, light-hearted, "cute" movie. I was surprised I enjoyed it since it is so heavily focused on sports, but I did.

This movie went on a bit long, and personally- the conflicting love interests in this film were the only thing that kept me interested, aside from maybe the jaw dropping trapeze stunts! Those kept me holding my breath! I love James Stewart, so it was a treat to see him in this movie; I was pleased about that. It is also incredible to see the magnitude of what the circus used to be- it was just insane.

This was a very interesting story! I loved the plot, and enjoyed watching this. I think they should do a remake of this movie with a modern twist. It COULD be successful. You never know?

The emotional performances in this film were really well done, and while this is not my choice for a favorite of John Wayne's, it's still a great film.

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend". I think everyone knows that saying, and I think just about everyone also knows the infamous performance from Marilyn Monroe in that pink dress, singing about diamonds. I didn't think much of this movie before I watched it, but once I did it was very interesting and smarter than I thought it would be.

You could call this a "fluffy" psychological thriller. It could have had a bit more depth and intensity, but I thought that characters had interesting motives behind their behavior, and I thought the acting was pretty well done. Not the best, but still enjoyable.

A very lovely story, and Audrey Hepburn is so dear in this film- it's very sweet. I also enjoyed Gregory Peck in this movie.

A direct remake of "Red Dust", only with a difference in the location, job title, and age of Clark Gable. I found it interesting to see the African culture in this film, and the animal footage, but I didn't enjoy the remake otherwise. I couldn't dig Ava Gardner's performance at all. She didn't seem to fit the character, especially after just having watched the original one played out by Jean Harlow. And I didn't believe the passion between Grace Kelly and Clark Gable. Clark Gable tried, but for me- Grace Kelly's peformance fell flat. I also felt that the dialogue was a tad bit awkward in some places in this film. Was it re-written? Or did I really just ignore the dialogue in the original? I am sure there were some parts that were revised, and to me... it didn't run smoothe. Points for the incredible photography of landscape, African culture, and animals in this film- but not for much else.

This was a good film, but I always hate it when the ending doesn't turn out for the better. =/ Oh well, it's a dramatic film- the ending must be dramatic, too. And it just goes to show, that things don't always turn out sunshine and flowers. Very well done performances from Montgomery Clift and Donna Reed. Cool actin' from Frankie, too! Boy he likes to get into trouble in this one!

An interesting film to look at when we know such technology today. Looking back, though, I think the special effects in this film were very well done and I think the nostalgia of this film is what makes it a great sci-fi picture. This, was also the very first sci-fi movie I have watched!

Good.

While I enjoyed this movie, and thought it was great- I am not sure if I felt like there was enough suspense build-up throughout the ENTIRE film. I felt like the most suspense came closer to the end of the movie, and I wish I could have been sitting on the edge of my seat through the entire film- but I wasn't. It's still a classic, well worth seeing- and you can't go wrong with two shining stars like James Stewart and Grace Kelly!

I love this movie! The story is fairly simple, but "Marty" is a very charming story with a handful of endearing and unique characters that are sure to entertain you thoroughly! Ernest Borgnine is wonderful in this film as the title character, "Marty". A must see!

We all know that this is one of the great classics of all time, and that it made James Dean an icon! Really good movie- but I was very shocked about the ending. =o

This was a really enjoyable movie, it felt so easy to watch it- kept me entertained the whole time with enthralling performances- especially from James Dean (well of course, haha). Definitely one I would recommend to people to check out.

Aside from the fact that technically, "Madge" (Kim Novak) never really does find the kind of love she is looking for: someone who loves her for more than her beauty, this day at the picnic turns out to be QUITE an exciting, melodramatic mess- which is VERY fun to watch! An enjoyable movie.

This film is lovely. The scenery and colour is beautiful, Cary Grant looks fantastic, and then you add in Grace Kelly- and this film is very easy on the eyes! But most of all, this is an enjoyable film. It's a little lighter than the typical Hitchcock film, but Hitchcock himself acknowledged this. It is a well-done combination of Hitchcock's signature style of mystery and suspense, and Cary Grant's classic screwball comedy- each toned down a bit to create a great mix. Good movie!

I had never seen James Stewart in one of his Westerns before, this was my first one- so I didn't know what to expect. Well, he pulls it off- that is for sure (as I expect he does in every other film he is in!). Good performance, and an entertaining movie.

I love this. These days it seems like it takes a lot to impress people. Just look at all of our fancy technology; iPods with internet, phone and music, GPS that tells us where to go, devices in cars that will play our music for us by asking it to, even touch screen computers. I feel that sometimes people forget to appreciate the simple things in life. The fact that this boy was so enamored with his red balloon was actually really touching and endearing for me, and a breath of fresh air. "The Red Balloon" is wonderfully creative, sweet and whimsical. If you want to take a break from your hectic daily life, take a look at this wonderful short and you'll soon find yourself with a happy and warm feeling bubbling in your heart.

I just love Burt Lancaster's character in this movie, he is so dramatic- haha, but it was a real passionate performance from Lancaster, and it made this movie fun to watch. As well, other characters like Jimmy were also very lovable- and this film has a great message in it.

I enjoyed this movie, but not as much as I thought I would. There is something lacking- perhaps in the plot, script, or acting- as others have mentioned, but I can't quite put my finger on it. The romance in the film just didn't seem to fit- to me, as well- maybe that was it. However, I loved the special effects! They're just incredible for the times, and are obviously the most exciting part of the movie. I really loved that aspect- they sure did create a nasty monster! And really, when you're watching a monster movie- isn't that the main thing that matters? Overall, a decent film.

I thought this movie was pretty good. I don't know why so many people are so hard on it. I guess I enjoy campy movies a bit- maybe that has something to do with it. I think the title could have been changed, however, because as many people have pointed out- the film didn't have much to do with the boy being invisible. I like the corny, science fiction stuff, so I enjoyed it pretty well.

Enjoyed the music alot and enjoyed the extra tough "bad-boy" image in this film. Quite exciting! Haha. A classic Elvis picture that would set in stone, forever, the unforgettable image of Elvis in that striped shirt and tight black pants and jacket, singin' that groovy tune- one of our favourites- "Jailhouse Rock".

This film is very romantic, and to me- it seemed very real. It didn't feel like I was watching a movie, with two big actors "playing" the parts. It felt like I was watching it happen in real life, like I was a fly on the wall. It was very touching. The performances from both Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr were wonderful. Topped off with a tender, "tear-jerker" of an ending.

Pretty legit! A more serious Elvis film, that has a lot more depth to it. An interesting story, well acted... refreshing to see this different side of Elvis' film career.

What a nice movie. :) And jam-packed with personality! You've got Cary Grant and Sophia Loren- wow! But don't forget the kids! I loved them, they had such spunk and really held their own and stood out! Beside the movie's two big stars, Grant and Loren, that takes talent! Great cast, nice story, good film!

Ali Davis, writer of the plot synopsis for this movie, says it best. "Director Robert Wise ratchets the tension up to a nearly unbearable level, making Barbara's moments of hope as agonizing as those of her despair."

Based on the true story of Barbara Graham, this film is intense and emotional- extremely gripping. Susan Hawyward does an outstanding job. A very interesting movie, and as I have implied above- one that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat!

Well I love Leslie Caron, but I am not sure how I feel about this film. I think I enjoyed the first half of the film much more than the second half. Other than that, I have not much to say, except that I enjoyed it fairly well- at least.

Very outstanding performances.

Excellent! Entertaining all the way through- with innovative effects, and the tingler was DEFINITELY creepy! "Remember, if you scream at just the right time, it might just save your life."

Wow. Talk about drama!

Jack Lemmon in this movie, oh my gosh- haha. Well, let me tell you- this movie is hilarious! I would like to watch it again so I could pick up even more of the nuances these two were pulling throughout the film. This movie includes two outstanding comedic performances by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe sparkles and shines- as always. Great picture!

This was an entertaining movie. Unfortunately, I am not sure if I would sit through the whole thing again. Still an interesting movie, though, with lots of suspensful action. There's a man who REALLY loves his woman!

Super fun!

Great.

I have to be honest, I had watched a couple of scenes from this film before- and I wondered to myself: do I actually want to watch this? I was worried that I might actually be bored- and was asking what all the hype was about. Thankfully, I watched this all the way through. When people say this is a classic, they are right. The level of work that went into this must have been nuts! The choreography, teamed with the camera work to capture it, is detailed- and I am sure- took immense talent to complete! The actors all did a wonderful job, both dancing and singing. And while this movie was a bit lengthy- making it hard for me to decide if I would watch it again, this classic musical is well worth the watch at least one time. I'm not a fanatic for this movie, but the work put into it makes this one of those epic classics that will be cherished by many of those who ARE fanatics, for all of time.

After seeing this movie for a second time, I have come to enjoy it even more- and it has now earned five stars. I think this is a fun, light-hearted movie, that you can watch time and time again and it will always be just as good. :)

Pretty overdramatic. It drove the point home- just how exhausting and time consuming it was to work with Helen, and the emotional intensity made the film very interesting- but yes, it is certainly a bit overdone at times.

Fun. :) Especially enjoyed his singing with the two adorable little girls. Charming.

Being into photography, there was something I noticed about this film. I've seen lots of black and white films, but never have any of them looked like this. I don't know if it's just me, or if I'm crazy or something but the shots were SO beautiful- it was as if you could take a still shot from any moment in the film and it could be art. There is just something about it, I don't know what it is. It is stunning. As well, the director also did some very interesting scenes with the camera in such a way that I have never seen before. Aside from that, the movie was VERY well done. The performances were so candid, and true to the story. REALLY well done film. THE best version in my opinion.

Very good flick with a little controversy for the times! Natalie Wood shines in this one. I loved some of the more intense scenes between Angie and Rocky, rather than some of the awkward scenes, but they both add to the picture equally- and the ending is very cute. I recommend it.

Oh, HONESTLY! Is it REALLY that hard for guys to control themselves?

Well, if you're an Elvis fan- you'll probably enjoy this to some extent. I liked the friendship between Elvis and Raoul. But where there's more grandiose in an Elvis film, there's less interest from me. I didn't find the love interests very captivating, either. Not bad, though.

A good one. Well carried out, with memorable characters and an entertaining story. Nicely done.

A bit long, with some unecessary scenes which gave the film a lot of high points, then low points - like a roller coaster ride - but I love the way it was filmed because to me, some scenes of this movie felt like I was watching this as a theatre production, an aspect which made me enjoy this film a lot. And I always enjoy Audrey Hepburn because she is just such a sweetheart.

This would be considered nothing these days, but back then it was controversial- and I DID feel that way about this film. There are some parts in the movie where you're watching and you just think "Wow..." - and probably aren't sure what to think, haha. Despite the fact that this movie is strange, though- it's an enjoyable comedy, and takes a look at what fame and money can drive a person to do.

I loved Cary Grant in this role. It's a bit different from a lot of other characters he has played and I think he did it very well. A very funny and entertaining movie. Thumbs up!

In my opinion, this is a film that us girls are more likely to enjoy. Guys- take caution; Peter Sellers has less screen time in this film than that of two teenage girls. And if the prospect of watching these girls follow Peter Seller's character around NYC in complete giddyness out of their crush on him doesn't interest you, then I suggest you skip this film. However, the friendship between the girls is charming and endearing, and there are lots of funny moments in this film- so I recommend it to all. For us girls, the theme of this film is something we can all identify with and laugh along with- so it was a very enjoyable movie for me.

Even though I love Elvis, this movie was a bit too crazy for me... very strange!

This one gets you excited right from the very begging with all of the cool neon lights, and Elvis' "Viva Las Vegas" playing! Elvis and Ann-Margret were great together, and this movie was just fun to watch. I enjoyed it very much so.

One of my favorite Elvis movies, and I just love Shelley Fabares in this movie! There's also a really beautiful quality about the colors in this movie, and the way it was filmed. It's just so bright, crisp, and sun-drenched! Elvis movies are silly, but if you're the kind of person who can just sit back, chill out, and watch something for the fun of it- you'll enjoy this one, because it IS a lot of fun! And lovely to look at, too!

I had the incredible privilage to see this movie in theatres, due to the current release of the DVD, during a one-night-only showing and I have to say that it was one of the best experiences of my life! What a trip to experience what it would have been like in the 60's to see a Beatles movie on the BIG SCREEN! From start to finish, I couldn't stop smiling. I sang along to the tunes, and laughed many times at the very clever jokes and the utter silliness of the Beatles. Looks like they were having such a great time! This movie is absolutely wonderful!

This was really good. Very intense! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It even got a tear out of me at the end because I was so relieved from all that build-up, haha.

I simply adore Sidney Poitier, and this film made me admire him even more! With each performance I see from him, I am more and more impressed. He is just incredible. I loved this story. Elizabeth Hartman plays her part so well. It's hard to understand what it would be like to be blind, but we get to step into Selina's world a bit and see what it might be like; and we see all of her frustrations, as well as her triumphs. Sidney plays a strong character who doesn't allow intolerant people to effect his life, and gives Selina the chance to break free and begin a successful life. This movie is SO special. SEE IT!

Not sure if I am too keen on this one or not- but it was interesting and fun to watch. Then again, Elvis is always fun to watch!

This movie was good. It got a little tedious at some points, and it was hard for it to keep my attention- but mostly, it was a good film.

Michael Caine's creation of this character was charming and cheeky enough to draw me in, the film was entertaining enough to make me watch it the entire way through, the filming style was great and the then-new concept of talking to the camera was fun to watch, but- I cannot seem to come to terms with how I feel about his character, or the movie in general.

For all of the terrible things he did in this film, how can I try to justify them with the very small amount of compassion he dishes out in return? Are we supposed to love this character? Can we possibly have any sympathy for him? Some may easily say "yes"- but for me, it's hard to do so.

It has a few good points, but a story like this needs a little bit more of a turn-around from such an asshole of a character to make it truly worthy of appreciation.

This movie was actually quite good! It wasn't so hoaky, like some of the other movies Elvis is in. And who can resist Elvis in the "hero" type role? He's just a gorgeous hunk of real MAN. Haha. This movie was very enjoyable. =)

Sidney was the voice for African Americans, in the movie world. He chose a lot of roles where he stands up for himself, and "owns" the people who treat him with disrespect. I think that was a very positive image for him to portray- and that is included very well in this film. He shows 'em that he is just as smart, and strong as any other man. Aside from that fact, this was a good murder mystery. Enjoyed it very much!

Good film. Very controversial!

This movie is a good war movie for me because there was a more light-hearted side to this movie which focused on the relationships between the soldiers- which are charming and add a good dose of humor to this film. On the other hand, it also depicts the 'dark side' that is war, which any good war movie should do, and they did it effectively. The violence wasn't too harsh- and this is why I was able to enjoy the film. I loved Lee Marvin in this movie, too.

What is up with the ending, man?! I can't believe that is how the movie ends. Oh well. It was a good movie.

This was a VERY silly movie, haha, but it was entertaining and it has Robert Redford in it. Simple as that.

I really enjoyed this one.

I really loved this movie. The stunts with the car were just far out! And I really think the cast was expertly chosen. Personally, I just loved the entire cast as a whole- it seemed to work so well. A thoroughly enjoyable film!

Ohhhhh, SNAP!
I LOVED Ingrid Bergman and Goldie Hawn's performances in this movie! Goldie was hilarious, and Ingrid was darling and brilliant. The plot was so wonderfully juicy- you just couldn't wait until it would all blow up in Julian's face. And the ending worked itself out beautifully, pairing just the right people together. Real good movie!

Good movie. =)

Really enjoyed this one!

As many others have said, you either love this movie or you hate it. It doesn't have a "strong" plot, but there IS a clear storyline that gives the movie a general direction.

Personally, I loved it. It took me a while to realize it, though. When I did, I was surprised. But I realized it was such a delight to watch Arlo Guthrie in this film. There's just something special about him, that makes him so engaging to watch; whether he is saying a whole lot, or not much at all. The "garbage" scene and the scene where he goes through the drafting process (and ultimately avoids it- thank goodness) is just priceless! It almost makes the movie. But the rest of it was very enjoyable as well.

I left this film feeling strangely happy. That was last night, and I still feel happy today. :)

This film was very interesting. I haven't read the book, so I am only basing my review from seeing the movie. I must say- though this film is primarily an animated picture- I loved the camera work during the live-action parts of the movie. The filming was very creative and unique! Now to talk about the animation. Well, it's Chuck Jones! One of the most talented animators, and one whom was part of two of the most enduring and time-withstanding cartoon series of all time- Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry. So the animation was very fun to watch, and it while the plot was pretty simple, the imagery was very entertaining, trippy, and unique. I probably wouldn't watch this again, but for kids it's kind of a great way to motivate them, give them a bit of a school lesson, and entertain them all at the same time! Haha. Very eye capturing.

This is an absolutely phenomenal film. It really feels like you are a "fly-on-the-wall" the way it was filmed. Interesting angles and close-up shots give the viewer a truly unique and exciting experience! The interviews and talks with people in this film really give insight into the thoughts and feelings of a generation. The only downside to this film is that it did not include nearly as much of the amazing performances that happened during the festival as it should have- which is kind of a bummer for those whose closest chance to experience this is to watch the DVD. Let's just cross our fingers and hope that there will be an upgraded edition with more footage released for the 40th or 50th anniversary. All of that set aside, this event was absolutely one of the most amazing happenings to take place in the history of man, and this is definitely a must see film! Whether you're looking to take a trip down memory lane (because you probably don't remember anything if you were there, haha) or you're a new fan of the 1960's- check this one out; it is spectacular!

A good movie, but I found that just watching this made me a bit stressed. The ending is what made it for me- and not because I was waiting for this movie to be over, no- but because it is the ultimate paradigm of the punch-line of the entire story, and that really finished the movie off with a good laugh.

Honestly... maybe if I had been paying more careful attention to this movie when I watched it, I might have understood why there are so many people who praise it- but at this point, I don't. I adore James Taylor, so I thought this movie would be easy for me to watch- but there were some times in this movie when I couldn't help thinking "why was this scene even included in here?!" - because there were some scenes that were absolutely, utterly pointless. I may give this another watch, and see if it has anything to offer- but at this point, I just don't see what is so good about it, and I am a left feeling confused.

Elvis in all his glory! The extravagance, the grandeur, the hysteria! One of the best pieces of film to feature Elvis. An in-depth look into the world of Elvis and his crew, as they take on a U.S. tour in 1972. Truly an incredible tour, truly a wonderful documentary. Elvis fans, don't miss this one!

Shot beautifully- in black and white, with excellent acting and great chemistry between the two characters. On top of that- well written plot and dialogue that is endearing and very entertaining. I was hoping for a tiny bit more of a sentimental moment at the end of the film, but overall- a fantastic movie.

Wow, what an incredible movie. Three of my favorite actors, together- John Wayne, James Stewart, and Lauren Bacall! I really enjoyed this one. It was John Wayne's last movie and the plot was incredibly close to home for him- which makes this story all the more meaningful and emotional. Also enjoyed Ron Howard in this one. Great movie.

Wow! Is this version ever different from the new 2003 version! These films are almost two completely different pictures, aside from the mother and daughter switching places! I'm not sure I could say which one I enjoy more; probably this one, because we have the pleasure of the absense of a miss Lindsey Lohan, whom I just don't really enjoy. I DO feel that Jamie Lee Curtis actually pulled off the daughter-inside-the-mother gig better than Barbara Harris did, however; it was a little more believable from Jamie Lee Curtis. I definitely enjoyed Jodie Foster's performance, I liked her acting and I thought she had a lot of personality. Overall I would choose this Disney original over the new one, since I am a sucker for classic films and old-fashioned humor.

Alright, so I am a little biased since I really love Ron Howard... but despite the fact that this movie is basically one big car chase with a lot of explosions and crashes, I wouldn't say this was a bad movie. It's not a bad idea/premise, there was some memorable humor in it, and it WAS enjoyable to watch (or I wouldn't have seen the entire movie and be writing this review right now)- but, we all know Ron Howard made better films, haha.

LOL.

It's like an epic film, because SO many people know it and SO many people know all of the words to the song. It is definitely a film that will be remembered for probably all of time.

Okay, so aside from the fact that this movie is WAY too inappropriate to be rated PG, I absolutly loved it. Was a little unsure for the first bit, but halfway through the movie I just fell in love with the characters, and by the end I loved the whole story.

Looking at this strictly from an entertainment standpoint, I enjoyed it. The violence was a bit hard for me to watch- it's never nice to see people hurting eachother- but I think the plot was great and the acting was well done. It also sends out a good message- that you are in control of your life and the choice is yours to make on how to run your life. It shows that young people who may be in gangs or bad situations can walk away from it and still be a strong person with things to be proud of.

On the other hand, this movie came out at a bad time. It was amoung a string of films all released in a general time frame that focused on images of youth-gangs. Many people protested against films like this, and unfortunately, violent acts resulted at some screenings for films like these. As well, it was a bit disheartening that the main character, played by Robby Benson, was a painted up image of a Latin-American- provided with a fake tan and dark contacts for the role.

However, despite all critisims, in my opinion- Robby Benson and the rest of the cast played their parts well and this film was gripping and interesting to watch.

I enjoyed this, it's a good one. I've never seen Chevy Chase in another movie apart from the National Lampoon ones, and I enjoyed him in this movie much more! Silly and fun.

Excellent. Hilarious! And there are SO many legends in this movie!

I didn't know what was going on half the time because I didn't pay too close of attention to it, but it was pretty cool. A very unique film.

Alright- so this is a nostalgic little movie, naturally, being set in the late 1950's. I dig that it's also set in Canada. It was interesting to see a glimpse of what Canadian life may have been like back in the day. In B.C., it looks like it was pretty boring- haha. But they had their fun. That's what I like most about this movie- all of the fun they seem to have. It's so convincing that it makes me feel like I am having just as much fun. It was a little cheesy at times, and the fact that the main character totally has a crush on her American cousin is something I found... well, interesting. It wasn't really a problem, though, because throughout the entire movie it is maintained as a very innocent thing. This is just a nice, light-hearted and fun movie.

P.S. I enjoyed Margaret Langrick's performance. It had such a youthful quality to it. It was very fresh and free-spirited!

E.J. Olmos did a wonderful performance in this movie. That being said, though, I think that there were some other characters who could have made this movie even more interesting, if given the chance! But for some reason, those other characters weren't explored as they could have been. I think that if we had gotten a little bit more of an introduction into the lives and stories of some of the other characters, and were given the chance to grow a little more attatched to those characters, it could have made this movie all the more better. Not bad, though.
