Memorial Day Movies
In the United States, the last Monday in May is called Memorial Day and is designated as a national holiday to commemorate those members of the American armed forces killed in war. In honor of all U.S. military personnel who have fallen in war, I’ve compiled a list of movies intended to pay them tribute.

Ingmar Bergman Movies
I have long been intrigued by dreams, myth, and psychology, and perhaps that explains my attraction to the movies of Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. Below I've given brief descriptions of 10 of my favorites, ordering them according to the date of their initial theatrical release. I've also tried to sketch an outline of the most productive part of Bergman's filmmaking career. As one who loves humanistic movies, I have found the body of work summarized here to be immensely rewarding

"THX 1138" DVD
Before George Lucas became famous, he co-wrote and directed an excellent movie titled THX 1138starring Robert Duvall. Now a restored director’s cut of that film is being released as a superb two-disc DVD set loaded with worthwhile bonus materials. A single-disc version is also available, but missing most of the extras. With either DVD version you'll get a first-rate movie and an excellent commentary track, but I recommend the two-disc version because of its terrific bonus materials.

Hitchcock Movies
Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors, and whenever I'm in the mood for a stylish mix of suspense, terror, and perhaps a delicious dash of romance, his films have never failed to entertain and fascinate me. Here’s a list of ten of my favorite movies by Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense.

Action Movies
Movies can show fierce battles, high-speed chases, and horrific explosions that most of us will never experience in real life, and I think such sequences properly used make films far more emotionally engaging. Here I've selected movies containing action that is well-integrated into the story. This is my personal, idiosyncratic list of favorites, and it doesn't necessarily reflect the popular wisdom on action movies. For the sake of focus, I've limited my choices to English-language talkies.

Oscar-winning actor Gregory Peck (1916 - 2003) was one of cinema's best-loved actors, and although he may no longer be with us, many of his performances will live forever in our hearts and minds. To honor his life and work, I've compiled a list of movies starring Peck that are my personal favorites.

I think foreign-language films can show us things about the world we will never see if we watch only movies where the dialogue is in English. Here's a list of ten of my favorite foreign-language films by ten different filmmakers. Three of the movies are in French, two are in Japanese, two in Italian, and one each in Bengali, Russian, and Swedish. In my opinion, the films listed below are among the greatest in all of cinema.

Review: "The Notebook" DVD
I would describe the movie The Notebook as an unabashedly romantic tale about love, memories, and death. It's a weepy, but I believe it's one that men can connect with. It's based on a novel by a man, the screenplay was written by a man, and the director is a man. The story chronicles one otherwise-quite-ordinary man's uncompromising love.

French New Wave Films
The French New Wave was a movement led by a group of young filmmakers that included Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Alain Resnais, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette. The idea of a New Wave film was that it should seem personal and freewheeling, as opposed to the corporate and highly polished movies being produced by the studios. Below I have listed in alphabetical order five of the best of the French New Wave films.

Casablanca DVD
Casablanca is beloved by a wide cross-section of Americans, and it's been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember.

Read a full-length review of the two-disc Special Edition DVD set of this great classic that is loaded with extras.

Renoir Films
Jean Renoir (1894-1979), son of celebrated impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, was one of the greatest and most influential of all filmmakers. He was noted for his use of deep-focus photography, unerring sense of composition, fluid visual style and profoundly humanistic sensibility. He made about 40 movies, beginning in the silent era and continuing up to 1969. Ordered by theatrical release date, here's my list of the top 10 Jean Renoir films available on DVD.

Once Upon a Time in America the Movie | Once Upon a Time in America DVD Review
I was mesmerized by the visual flow and haunting music of Once Upon a Time in America. I think the movie occasionally goes too far over the top, but it packs one whale of an emotional wallop.

Brotherhood of the Wolf | DVD Movie Review - DVD Pick of the Week
What I like best about Brotherhood of the Wolves is how it refuses to be confined to a single genre, and you never know quite what to expect next. There are lots of action sequences, but these are mixed nicely with sequences that have the mood of a good werewolf movie and sequences that are like an R-rated Merchant-Ivory film. Read my review of Brotherhood of the Wolves.

"Goodfellas" SE DVD
Based on a true story, Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas is an unforgettable biopic about a low-level mobster named Henry Hill (Ray Liotta). I think what makes the movie so compelling is Scorsese's close observation of the details of Hill's extraordinary world. Now this great film is available as a two-disc Special Edition DVD set.

A Beautiful Mind | DVD Movie Review - DVD Pick of the Week
I thought that A Beautiful Mind played much better on DVD than it did when I saw the movie during its theatrical release. I found A Beautiful Mind to be more of a fable than a character study, although Russell Crowe's performance adds dimension to a character who is scripted as more mythic than real. Read my review of A Beautiful Mind on DVD.

Luchino Visconti Movies
The varied cinematic vision of legendary filmmaker Luchino Visconti has never failed to amaze me. I think the Italian-language version of his 1963 movie The Leopard is one of the greatest and most lushly beautiful films ever made, but I also love his great 1948 neorealist movie La Terra trema. Other Visconti films I have enjoyed include Rocco and His Brothers, Senso, and Death in Venice.

Top Best Picture Oscar Winners
A friend of mine once suggested a movie's greatness can be measured by how much you think about it after seeing it, along with the way it lingers in your memory over time. I'm not sure if I agree with this, but it's an intriguing idea. The movies here aren't necessarily my favorites of the Best Picture Academy Award winners, but they are all films I've found memorable for various reasons. I've organized this list in reverse chronological order by year of theatrical release.

DVD Pick: Preston Sturges: The
Preston Sturges wrote and directed eight films released between 1940 and 1944 that collectively constitute one of the finest bodies of work in cinema history. All eight of these movies are worth seeing, and four are on AFI's list of 100 best American comedies. A good way to get familiar with this great writer-director is through the splendid seven-disc DVD set Preston Sturges: The Filmmaker Collection, which contains seven of the eight movies. Read a review of this collection on DVD.

DVD Pick: "East of Eden"
East of Eden stars James Dean in his first major movie role, and I personally think it is the best film he ever appeared in. Now at last it has become available on DVD. Dean is probably most famous for his performances in Rebel Without a Cause and Giant, but those movies seem to me dated. In contrast, East of Eden still feels fresh to me, and I attribute that primarily to the fact that it was directed by Elia Kazan. Read a DVD review of East of Eden.

A Review of "Sideways" on DVD
I first saw Sideways in a theater, where I laughed loud and often, along with the rest of the audience. I wasn't at all surprised when later the movie was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Watching the film at home on DVD, I found the film just as entertaining as I had on the big screen.

"The Notebook" DVD
Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands star in this romantic drama adapted from Nicholas Sparks' best-selling novel.

However, this central story is shown in flashback as it is read from a notebook decades later by an old man (Garner) to an old woman (Rowlands) suffering from Alzheimer's.

The Blues Brothers is a 1980 comedy starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd that has become part of American pop culture consciousness. For me, it's the music that gives the movie its exuberance.
