8 1/2 - Criterion Collection
»rank: 6462
0ur opinion:Description:0ne of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 (0tto e Mezzo) turns one man's artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni) is a director whose film-and life-is collapsing around him. An early working title for the film was La Bella Confusione (The Beautiful Confusion), and Fellini's masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the 1963 Academy Award® winner for Best Foreign-Language ...

Gentleman Jim

0ur opinion:Description:Errol Flynn is at his career best as boxer James J. corbett ('Gentleman Jim') the bank-clerk-turned World Champion who elevated boxing from bare-knuckled brawling to the sport of skill it is today. Year: 1942 Director: Raoul Walsh Starring: Errol Flynn, Alexis Smith, Jack Carson, Alan Hale, :Gentleman Jim is such a bountifully superlative movie that its neglect among Warner Bros. classics has been downright mystifying. lt's a boisterously exhilarating and likable picture from a director who made a habit of such things, Raoul Walsh.

Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 [Region 2]
»rank: 110958
0ur opinion: essential video:Federico Fellini's 1963 semi-autobiographical story about a worshipped filmmaker who has lost his inspiration is still a mesmerizing mystery tour that has been quoted (Woody Allen's Stardust Memories, Paul Mazursky's Alex in Wonderland) but never duplicated. Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido, a director trying to relax a bit in the wake of his latest hit. Besieged by people eager to work with him, however, he also struggles to find his next idea for a film. The combined pressures draw him within himself, where his ...

La Parisienne [Region 2]
»rank: 151971
0ur opinion: :Brigitte Bardot may be only third billed in the credits but without a doubt she's the star of this graceless sex farce. Clad in cleavage-baring blouses, dresses that look painted on, flimsy negligées, and sexy undergarments, she spends the first half of the film wooing womanizing cabinet minister Henri Vidal, accurately described by one jilted lover as 'a jerk, a despicable son of a bitch,' and the second half taunting him with an affair. Arriving at a diplomatic function, her blonde hair coifed and her ...
