Carmen (1984)
Makes you appreciate Opera!
I'm not an opera fan ... mainly because the words usually seem so trite compared to the music which carries the real meaning of the story and actions. Anyway, after years of enjoying the music without ever seeing the Opera of Carmen I watched this video and am totally enthralled! Bravo! Encore! Francesco Rosi certainly brings the story to life in a most wonderful way using the medium of film ... Bravo! Encore!!! Bravo!!!
Noah's Ark (1999)
A sleeper ... an OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION!!!!
This Movie is so refreshing I can't believe it! So many Biblical Movies use exact wording with the thee's and thou's and unto's and smoteth's etc. The producer, director, writer and actors in this Movie bring the Biblical story of Noah and the flood to Vivid Life using present day wording and such very human feelings and comedy expressed remarkably well ... as it probably would be if it happened today (know of any current Sodom's?). This Movie is a real sleeper and I think the low score voting reflects either extremely rigid/stoic viewers and/or atheistic viewers. Don't miss it!!! It's a total inspiration (if you believe the Bible, that is!)
Contact (1997)
An amazing love story!
I've watched this video so many times ... and each time it moves me dramatically. It is a most amazing love story between a defrocked priest who found that as he reached for the stars his feet were made of clay and a scientist (Jodie Foster) who knew that her feet were made of clay but reached for the stars anyway.
The casting in this movie is, perhaps, the best that I have come across. Each character so vividly and accurately portrays the role chosen ... a remarkable production meriting abundant awards and kudos.
The Lost Empire (1984)
grade 'B', but you should really view it!!!!!!
This movie, although a grade 'B, movie.. warrants viewing ... believe me, if you like MST3k videos, you'll like this one even without robotic comments. There's something about the honesty and simplicity of the actresses that makes it a very wholesome movie ... so watch it, or drop out!
