| 1. |  | The Winds of War from Paramount Home Video Price: $55.99 Movie Review: I first read The Winds of War by Herman Wouk back around 1972. The book just absolutely grabbed me. When I heard that ABC was filming a mini-series I was a little skeptical. Very few "made for TV" movies from books really capture the true feel of the original work. THIS ONE DOES! First of all it has... |

| 2. |  | War and Remembrance - Volume 2 from Mpi Media Group Price: $113.08 Movie Review: The War and Remebrance/Winds of War video productions are a high water mark of the docu-drama of WWII. The thing that impressed me most regarding these episodes was the director's skill at imparting the sense of drama, despair, the feeling that must have pervaded peoples minds that were in the war.... |

| 3. |  | War and Remembrance - Volume 1 from Mpi Media Group Price: $113.08 Movie Review: Herman Wouk and Dan Curtis score highly in what is one of the best "historical novel" to "screen adaptations" ever. To begin with, Wouk's books are a masterpiece. Curtis managed to faithfully capture the heart of the written work as War and Remembrance continues where Winds of War left off. As a... |

| 4. |  | Out of the Past from Warner Home Video Price: $13.98 Movie Review: This classic movie noir, featuring the twin cleft-chinned presences of Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas, has got to be one of the most enjoyable ever made. It's not the somewhat confusing plot, but the snappy dialogue -- and the confident acting -- which makes it work so well. The repartee... |

| 5. |  | Midway (Collector's Edition) from Universal Studios Price: $12.28 Movie Review: This should have been a straight historical movie, along the lines of Tora Tora Tora, The Longest Day, Gettysburg , and Of Gods and Generals, to make it the DEFINITIVE movie on Midway. Unfortunately, the romantic side story and the use of the English language by the Japanese participants, turn this... |

| 6. |  | The Enemy Below from Fox Home Entertainme Price: $10.49 Movie Review: This is one of the best duel-of-wits on the high seas between submarine and destroyer ever filmed. Robert Mitchum as the captain of an American destroyer and Curt Jurgens as the captain of a German submarine try to out maneuver each other in a battle of nerves, instincts, intelligence, seamanship... |

| 7. |  | Dead Man from Miramax Home Entertainment Price: $14.99 Movie Review: This movie has great similarity to the poem 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante as you see the main character William Blake assisted by an exiled man named Nobody as he seemingly travels through hell becoming a man his original self would never have recognized. This movie is a dark comedy that I believe... |

| 8. |  | Paint Your Wagon from Paramount Home Video Price: $12.29 Movie Review: Totally irreverent and unabashed Paint Your Wagon is bawdy good fun for the whole family! In spite of the critics' remarks about its morals or lack of them, I found the story to be true to life in the old west. In watching the documentary "Ken Burn's presents The West," one learns that many decent... |

| 9. |  | El Dorado from Paramount Studio Price: $13.04 Movie Review: This is my all-time favorite John Wayne flick. Most lists I see list "The Searchers" as the best, but I disagree. This is essentially a reworking of "Rio Bravo", but you get better co-stars here with Robert Mitchum and James Caan. Plus you don't have the unrealistic sing-a-long that occurs in the... |

| 10. |  | The Night of the Hunter from Mgm/Ua Studios Price: $13.01 Movie Review: I'll be predictable and say "Citizen Kane" is the greatest movie ever. But I've always felt "The Night of the Hunter" is a rather unpredictable No. 2. It answers the question, "Are movies art?" The music, the black-and-white images, the dream-like quality to this work elevate it from entertainment... |
