3000 Miles to Graceland [VHS]3000 Miles to Graceland [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
This movie got some terrible reviews. But it is actually quite good. I think Kevin Costner and Kurt Russel make a great duo as Elvis impersonators. Give it a shot, it's worth your time. 4.25 stars.
Clerks [VHS]Clerks [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
This is the movie that set off the immensely popular career of director/actor Kevin Smith. You must see this movie whether you like Smith or not. A former underground classic gone classic. 4.25 stars.
The Man Who Knew Too Little [VHS]The Man Who Knew Too Little [VHS]
Buy used from: $1.59
Murray plays the part of a clueless American to absolute perfection. He thinks that he's acting when really he's in a tussle with the Russian mob. It's much, much better than 'Caddyshack'. 4.25 stars.
Star Wars - Episode IV, A New Hope [VHS]Star Wars - Episode IV, A New Hope [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Here is the start of (hand's down) the best movie series we'll ever see. George Lucas and crew use special effects and great acting (that is: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill) to make a great film. 5 stars.
Face/Off [VHS]Face/Off [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Cage (Castor Troy/Sean Archer) and Travolta (Sean Archer/Castor Troy) star; as both characters switch their faces in order to stop a bomb in Los Angeles. It's awesome, and a Cage classic. 4.25 stars.
Swingers [VHS]Swingers [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Trent (Vince Vaughn) and Mike (Jon Favreau) star as two helpless guys trying to make it in Las Vegas. I suggest watching this one before you watch 'Made', or you may be a little disappointed. 4 stars.
Happy Gilmore [VHS]Happy Gilmore [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
I believe this is Adam Sandler's best movie, regardless of what others might think. He's on edge and vulgar throughout the film. I've watched it about 10 times and I love it more each time. 4 stars.
The Rock [VHS]The Rock [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Here's another great Nicolas Cage movie in which he co-stars with former '007' star Sean Connery; along with Ed Harris. It's about a battle on Alcatraz, former home of Connery's character. 4.25 stars.
Con Air [VHS]Con Air [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Nicolas Cage stars with John Malkovich and John Cusack as a plane containing the worst criminals in the world is taken over by those same criminals. It's a good action movie with good laughs. 4 stars.
Drowning Mona [VHS]Drowning Mona [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
This is another movie that didn't get the recognition it deserves. Danny DeVito stars with Casey Affleck, Will Ferrell, and William Fichtner as a town parties over a woman's death. Hilarious! 4 stars.
The Whole Nine Yards [VHS]The Whole Nine Yards [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
This is Bruce Willis' best comical performance to date. He plays a hired hitman who, just released from prison, is sent to kill his loveable and almost too-friendly neighbor (Matthew Perry). 4 stars.
Ocean's Eleven [VHS]Ocean's Eleven [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Anytime you have actors like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts, you know the movie is gonna be great. And this movie is just that: great. And it keeps growing on me. 4.25 stars.
Good Will Hunting [VHS]Good Will Hunting [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Matt Damon is great as he seeks emotional help due to his "problems" with the law. Look for a great rendition of a Good Will Hunting 2 in Kevin Smith's gem 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'. 4 stars.
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag [VHS]8 Heads in a Duffel Bag [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Joe Pesci proves he can be comical, even on his own, as he loses a duffel bag that was filled with 8 human heads on an airplane to Mexico. Great appearances by David Spade and Kristy Swanson. 4 stars.
Black Sheep [VHS]Black Sheep [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
This movie is nowhere near the caliber of the popular 'Tommy Boy', but it's still a great comedy loosely based on politics. Farley and David Spade prove once again how good they are together. 4 stars.
Star Wars - Episode VI, Return of the Jedi [VHS]Star Wars - Episode VI, Return of the Jedi [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
This is another sci-fi action thriller from George Lucas, who keeps the saga going at an incredible pace. Again, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill star; along with the princess, Carrie Fisher. 4.5 stars.
High Fidelity [VHS]High Fidelity [VHS]
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.06
Here John Cusack plays his most prominant and daring role I've seen yet. He co-stars along with Tenacious D frontman Jack Black, as John's character suffers through many crappy relationships. 4 stars.
Heartbreakers (2001) (Dol) [VHS]Heartbreakers (2001) (Dol) [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Here's an underrated movie in which guys fall in love with professional con artists (Love Hewitt, Weaver). Jason Lee is hilarious in the movie, yet also very loving. Don't overlook this one. 4 stars.
Old School (Unrated Edition) [VHS]Old School (Unrated Edition) [VHS]
Buy used from: $2.00
Luke Wilson (Mitch), Will Ferrell (Frank "the Tank"), and Vince Vaughn (Beanie) star as three guys who open a frathouse for anyone to join. One of the funniest films I've ever seen! Really. 5 stars.
The Royal Tenenbaums [VHS]The Royal Tenenbaums [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
The cast here might be the best cast I've ever seen in a movie. Gene Hackman is uproarious as he stars with Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and Gwyneth Paltrow. It was one of the best of 2001. 4.25 stars.
Fletch [VHS]Fletch [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Man is Chevy Chase exceptional here! Playing the part of Irwin 'Fletch' Fletcher, he disguises himself as other people to solve a case involving drug deals and a case involving killing a guy. 4 stars.
Dirty Work (1998) [VHS]Dirty Work (1998) [VHS]
Buy new: $6.98 / Used from: $0.01
This is a funny, gross film about 2 guys trying to save their father from dying. There's also some great cameos from Chevy Chase, John Goodman, Gary Coleman (the midget), and Adam Sandler. 3.5 stars.
Road Trip (Unrated Edition) [VHS]Road Trip (Unrated Edition) [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
Tom Green is very funny in his first major movie role. And Sean William Scott is hilarious as well. This movie is as entertaining as it was popular; there's no doubt you will love it. 3.75 stars.
Jurassic Park [VHS]Jurassic Park [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.74
When this movie came out it seemed to be a turning point for all movies. It's a great movie, but the sequel 'The Lost World' is slightly better. Jeff Goldblum's character was a little off. 4.25 stars.
Patch Adams (W/Bonus Footage) [VHS]Patch Adams (W/Bonus Footage) [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01
This movie flirts with the idea of being a comedy, and at many points it is hilarious. But the drama carries it on as Patch (Robin Williams) uses others to help save himself from suicide. 4 stars.
