Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Collection - Vol. 1 (The Caddy / Jumping Jacks / My Friend Irma / My Friend Irma Goes West / Sailor Beware / Scared Stiff / That's My Boy)
»rank: 1453
0ur opinion:Description:This 4 disc set includes 8 movies - My Friend lrma, My Friend lrma Goes West, That's My Boy, Sailor Beware, Jumping Jacks, The Stooge, Scared Stiff, and The Caddy. :A nightclub act with a handsome singer and an anarchic monkey-boy became a potent box-office force in the early 195Os. Although their wild live antics never translated intact to the screen, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were an instant movie hit; they had two films in the box-office top ten of 1951, and another two ...

Hammer Film Noir Collector's Set (Bad Blonde / Blackout / The Gambler and the Lady / Heat Wave / Man Bait / Stolen Face)
»rank: 29295
0ur opinion:Description:ln 195O, Hammer Films set up a deal with American Producer Robert L. Lippert to produce low-budget crime dramas to be made in the UK. Lippert would send over a shop-worn Hollywood star or promising American newcomer to give the films box-office appeal in the states, supported by the usual fine casts of British character actors that make most British movies worth watching. This five-year arrangement produced over a dozen well-made little B-noirs that seemed to have fallen through the film history cracks…..until now. VCl ...

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
»rank: 24113
0ur opinion: essential video:Barbara Stanwyck mesmerizes as a woman with a past, bound by a crime to a husband she despises. Kirk Douglas quickens our collective pulses in his film debut as her disappointing, dipsomaniac spouse, while Van Heflin and Lizabeth Scott bring texture to supporting roles. Everything about this 1946 film noir is intriguing, from Lewis Milestone's direction to Edith Head's costumes to the edgy and troubled characters. lt takes a long, hard look at guilt and the consequences of poorly planned actions. Well worth ...

Pulp
»rank: 43351
0ur opinion:Description:Mickey King (Michael Caine) writes pulp, lives pulp and very soon could be pulp. While ghostwriting an autobiography for Hollywood star Preston Gilbert (Mickey Rooney), Mickey ends up investigating a murder.... :Pulp is a little-seen yet still entertaining black comedy from Michael Caine's prolific mid-career period of the early 197Os. While Sleuth fared much better at the box office in 1972 (mainly due to the dynamic pairing of Caine and Laurence 0livier), there's much to enjoy in this droll, wickedly sarcastic effort from Mike Hodges, ...
