Mister Caple (rayman0071)

James Dean illustrates why he shot to stardom during his astounding short film career as an bonafide Hollywood actor in this 1955 adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic novel directed by Elia Kazan. James Dean stars as Cal,a young man who isn't happy with his lot in life. His problems include competition with his brother(Richard Davalos),for the attention of their father's affection(Raymond Massey),and for the love of a young woman(Julie Harris)and a mother's enstrangement(Jo Van Fleet) during the turmoil and despair at the height of World War I. Greats performances from Burl Ives,and the astounding score from composer Leonard Rosenman make this movie one of the best to come out of the 1950's

Anton Furst's brooding sets and Tim Burton's sardonic direction help bring to life the legendary Caped Crusader from the pages of DC Comics onto the big screen which became upon its release one of the highest grossing films of 1989. The film itself was a runaway boxoffice blockbuster that spawned numerous sequels,but the original from the late 1980's is still regarded as one of the best from that genre.

In the first entry of the comtemporary film series,Gotham City's Dark Knight
(Michael Keaton) finds himself grappling with his most dangerous and deadliest foe....his arch-nemesis,the sadistic and uncanny clown-faced villain,The Joker(played to absolute perfection by Jack Nicholson). With the casting of Kim Basinger(Vicki Vale),Pat Hingle(Commissioner Gordon),Michael Gough(Alfred),along with Billy Dee Williams and Jack Palance,it was no wonder that "Batman" was the film to see back in 1989.
It also featured the Oscar winning score from composer Danny Elfman and the music from one of the biggest acts of the 80's....PRINCE

Brilliant 70's science fiction flick that started it all. It was in fact the rebirth of the monster genre that began in the 1950's resurrected for the 1970's. And this one is a classic. It made a unknown actress named Sigourney Weaver into a mega superstar because of this movie. It will scare the daylights out of you. Best way to see this film is on the widescreen format the way it should be seen. I saw this film back in the late 1970's and on the big screen in 70MM-Six Track Dobly Stereo. It was mindblowing.

At the time this movie came out there was no better actor out there than the great Al Pacino who could brilliantly bring Tony Montana to life in this classic remake of the 1932 Howard Hawks film of the same title. When "Scarface"came out in 1983,it was panhandle by audiences and critics for its use of strong graphic violence and gory content along with persuasive scenes of drug abuse and raw language. This was the forefront of the "gangsta" flick and it shows here in graphic detail directed by Brian DePalma.
