1.To Sir, with Love
from RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video

Customer Review: Rating
My dvd had a GODZILLA movie instead of the widescreen version of "TS,WL". The Full-screen version was ok but I detest full-screen butchering so I wanted this in wide-screen... Because there is a Godzilla movie on the disc instead of "To Sir, With Love" could be why it's been discontinued. Hopefully... more info

2.A Raisin in the Sun
from Columbia Pictures

Customer Review: Rating
"What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" So begins what is perhaps Langston Hughes' most famous poem "A Dream Deferred" and ends with the line, "Or does it explode?" The writer Lorraine Hansberry lifted the quotation from Hughes' powerful poem for her equally... more info

3.Eve's Bayou
from Vidmark / Trimark

Customer Review: Rating
I walked into `Eve's Bayou' with high expectations. One of my film snob friends (I can call him that, he's cool with it) said that this was one of the greatest ensemble pieces of all time, and while I wasn't really sure what all the movie was about and had really heard nothing about it, I took his... more info

4.In the Heat of the Night
from MGM (Video & DVD)

Customer Review: Rating
The Bottom Line:
Though the film's atmosphere and performances succeed to a greater degree than the mystery story at its core, In The Heat of the Night is still an engaging and interesting film with fascinating character interaction and a true feel for the South.

5.Cabin in the Sky
from MGM (Warner)

Customer Review: Rating
Readers of this space know that I consider Billie Holiday above all, doped up or straight, the undisputed "Queen" of female jazz singers. From a Cole Porter tune like "Let's Do It" to a soulful "Strange Fruit" her timing and sense of the song was uncanny. However, even a great singer like Billie had... more info

6.Lady Sings the Blues
from Paramount

Customer Review: Rating
I remember watching this movie back in the 70s. I enjoyed it very much and am happy to add it to my cult classic collection. If you like a good musician biography to add to your collection like Ray, The Dreamgirls, or even Walk Hard---this is the movie.

Great Flick! Classic in my opinion which is why I purchased it. I enjoy looking at my classics at least once a year. Unfortuantely, this movie does not appear on TV much.

9.Intruder in the Dust
from MGM (Warner)

Customer Review: Rating
This was a very good classic movie about racism. I am too young to recognize any of the actors and I wonder if any of the Black actors really experienced racism while filming this movie. Example, did they have to go through the back doors of restaurants and hotels. Also, maybe did they have to drink... more info
