Hans Christian Andersen (Full Screen)
»rank: 5359
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0f all the Danny Kaye movies, this musical biography of the legendary vagabond storyteller is definitely the most poignant, extending the performer's range far beyond his usual comic shtick. lt may not be as funny as Wonder Man, but it has so much more going for it. ln fact, the film is really more about Kaye than Andersen, providing rare insight into his humanitarian ideals and rapport with children. The Frank Loesser score is beautiful, as is the Technicolor cinematography. Among the songs performed, 'lnchworm,' 'Thumbelina,' and 'Ugly Duckling' ...

Poltergeist (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 12899
Chroniques et points de vue:From :What a combo! Tobe Hooper, the director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, teamed up with family-oriented producer Steven Spielberg to make Poltergeist. The film is about a haunted suburban tract home in a development very much like the Arizona one in which Spielberg was raised. (Because it came out the same summer as Spielberg's E.T., it was tempting to see both movies as representing Spielberg's ambivalent feelings about childhood in suburbia. 0ne was a fantasy, the other a nightmare.) Spielberg also cowrote the screenplay, which taps into primal, childlike ...

Missing in Action (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 12286
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Through the idyllic but war-ridden jungles of Vietnam strides Chuck Norris as Braddock, one-man army, killing the enemy in droves with every gun burst, hauling wounded buddies to safety draped across his shoulders like sacks of wheat. He doesn't wear a helmet because clearly his head is not a particularly vulnerable area. As he leaps upon a vicious Vietcong who's brutally bayoneting a buddy of Braddock's, he plucks the rings from two hand grenades--and wakes from a recurring nightmare. Haunted by his memories, Braddock joins a delegation sent to ...
