My Favorite Movies

A captivating small film dealing with the relationship of two gay men over many years and the surrounding upheaval of the gay movement. Many wonderful supporting performances contribute to the overall goodwill of the film. Sirena Irwin is a sketch as Beverly the trend jumping greek chorus and Jill St. John an absolute scene stealer as Alan's boozy wise mom. The musical score is also loaded with excellent choices which really set the right tone for each scene. It all boils down however to the chemistry and performances of the two lead actors which are strong and makes you really like and root for the characters through their journey.

a cautionary tale about the insidiousness of evil and the danger of complacency

perfect for the anglophile

shelley winters upside down, how can you go wrong?

inspiring with great period feeling

interesting characters and story with good acting and Jacqueline Bisset too!

incisive and fun, Linda Darnell is fantastic, Thelma Ritter and Connie Gilchrist make a great team.

Because Robert Cummings isn't as well known as say Cary Grant it is easier in this instance to be drawn into his plight. Priscilla Lane feels right in her part since her all american beauty was the model standard at the time as well as being the cool blonde you look for with Hitchcock, the supporting cast is filled with wonderful characters either eminently likable or hissable as need be.

beautiful music, great cast and Ava Gardner will break your heart

judy at her peak

pure talent on display

Beautifully acted, truly heartwarming and moving true life story of courage and a family bond that can't be broken by adversity. The ending is something that stays with you always. Everyone is superb but Geraldine Page offers moments of such pure grace and real human emotion its astounding, truly one of the greatest actresses ever. A must see!

Wonderful music, great performances by Susan Hayward and Thelma Ritter. Absolutely rousing finale.

Stylish, ultra glamorous drama with a light touch. As delicious as a box of chocolates without the guilt afterward, Everyone is good but Betty Bacall wraps it up with a sharp edged portrait of a corporate wife who has built a tough exterior to protect herself but still has a good heart. Clifton Webb is an upper crust delight!

wonderfully acted

Wonderful retelling of the love story between Rachel and Andrew Jackson. Susan Hayward and Charlton Heston make a perfect team her balance of warmth and grit softens his customary stiffness and rectitude. The ending is a tearjerker deluxe.

great sad film

brilliant

hollywood chemistry at its best

The ultimate in star powered chaos. Everyone is super glamourous and imperiled, a truly guilty pleasure.

A little hokey to be sure but eminently watchable, Helen Hayes IS endearing but her oscar was surely a sentimental one and really should have gone to Maureen Stapleton who gives a real and very touching portrayal of a woman in an impossible situation. The rest of the cast is fun, Burt Lancaster and Dana Wynter inject a touch of reality as they come to grips with the end of their marriage in a wonderfully played scene. Jacqueline Bissett is young and beautiful, the chicest stewardess to ever fly the friendly skies.

it will break your heart and make you laugh.

superior soap.

top of the line

wonderful fairy tale

almost obsenely lush, easy to get caught up in and moving

Diane Keaton is simply irresistible in this charmer

masterful work by sissy spacek and jack lemmon and a compelling based on fact story make this a truly great film

The supporting cast is enjoyable but this is Thelma's show all the way. A wonderful one of a kind actress.

Utterly charming, if only Kevin Kline & Sigourney Weaver were the first couple

great puzzle of a film with a great 70's cast!

Linda is ravishing and the costumes are incredibly sumptous, they had to cut the guts out of the novel but on its own terms a fun ride.
