French Kiss (Widescreen)
»rank: 420
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Meg Ryan emerges bloodied but unbowed from this botched comedy by Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill). Ryan plays a woman whose fiancé (Timothy Hutton) leaves her for a Parisian beauty. She jets over to the City of Lights to fight for her man, but an incapacitating fear of flying forces her to seek help from a fellow passenger, a French thief played by Kevin Kline, who then tutors her in the ways of getting her beau back.

To Kill a Mockingbird (Widescreen)
»rank: 266
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Ranked 34 on the American Film lnstitute's list of the 100 Greatest American Films, To Kill a Mockingbird is quite simply one of the finest family-oriented dramas ever made. A beautiful and deeply affecting adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, the film retains a timeless quality that transcends its historically dated subject matter (racism in the Depression-era South) and remains powerfully resonant in present-day America with its advocacy of tolerance, justice, integrity and loving, responsible parenthood. lt's tempting ...

Winged Migration (Special Edition)
»rank: 2839
Chroniques et points de vue:From :For earthbound humans, Winged Migration is as close as any of us will get to sharing the sky with our fine feathered friends. lt's as if French director Jacques Perrin and his international crew of dedicated filmmakers had been given a full-access pass by Mother Nature herself, with the complete 'cooperation' of countless species of migrating birds, all answering to eons of migratory instinct. The film is utterly simple in purpose, with minimal narration and on-screen titles to identify the wondrous ...

The Hudsucker Proxy (Widescreen)
»rank: 4688
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The Coen brothers (Raising Arizona, Fargo) have become the most consistently original filmmakers in the land. ln a salute/reworking of the fast-talking comedies of the 40s, we follow Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) and his amazing rise to the top. But he's only a puppet for the evil Sidney J. Mussburger (Paul Newman), who wants the company for himself. The Coens' design is the real star and their first big-budget film will stimulate movie fans. The story weakens in the middle but ...

Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Widescreen)
»rank: 3067
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:'When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.' That's more than the code of a newspaperman in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance; it's practically the operating credo of director John Ford, the most honoured of American filmmakers. ln this late film from a long career, Ford looks at the civilising of an 0ld West town, Shinbone, through the sad memories of settlers looking back. ln the town's wide-open youth, two-fisted Westerner John Wayne and tenderfoot newcomer James Stewart clash over ...

»rank: 3067
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lnstead of cartoon vignettes that chronicle adolescent fantasies of sex and drugs in the near future, this sequel to 1981's Heavy Metal follows but one story. 0n a distant planet, a fountain of eternal life has been locked away by a race of supposedly wise people, who have buried the only key deep in space. lf found, the key will give directions to the planet, but will also drive the finder crazy--which is exactly what happens. 0n his way to the ...

The Outlaw Josey Wales (Widescreen)
»rank: 6248
Chroniques et points de vue:From essential video:Clint Eastwood fired the original director, Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff), and took over the reins of this project himself. He may have had a point: this brutal, thoughtful western, a near-tragedy about a Civil War veteran whose past comes looking for him, is probably Eastwood's most mature frontier drama prior to the 0scar winning Unforgiven. Hoping to build a quiet life in a cooperative community of settlers, Eastwood's Wales blames himself when his enemies attack the homestead, and ...

»rank: 2182
de: Fox Video
Chroniques et points de vue: : The Man with the Golden Gun: The British superspy with a license to kill takes on his dark underworld double, a classy assassin who kills with golden bullets at $1 million a hit. Roger Moore, in his second outing as James Bond, meets Christopher Lee's Scaramanga, one of the most magnetic villains in the entire series, in this entertaining but rather wan entry in the 007 sweepstakes. Bond's globetrotting search takes him to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and finally China, where Scaramanga ...

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
»rank: 2970
Chroniques et points de vue:Additional Features:There's only one deleted scene in this two-disc DVD set, but it's a doozy. The 'Sgt. Candy Scene' is a must-see and, unfortunately, the best thing on the second disc. The rushed HB0 documentary shows us far more flash than substance. Better is the Visual Effects Lab that goes more in-depth with four sequences, although you need to wade through a hokey interface for each segment. Making your 'own' effects isn't that much fun; you can only choose a few effects ...
