- DirectorWalter MurchStarsFairuza BalkNicol WilliamsonJean MarshDorothy, saved from a psychiatric experiment by a mysterious girl, is somehow called back to Oz when a vain witch and the Nome King destroy everything that makes the magical land beautiful.My All-time favorite movie. Warning though it may be too dark and scary for some kids but if they can handle that stuff (Slept after watching Pinocchio (maybe it was only me that was scared by that movie as a kid) or the last scence in Fantiasia) show them this they will love it. This movie though is just as enterianing to adults as it is too kids perhaps even more. The Charters are colorerful, and the scary stuff is actually pretty creepy. Don't expect the Wizard Of Oz though this is not that happy/ cheery movie. I would go onto a whole argument about how it's better than that movie, but I don't want all the crap for my opion and if you look at the page you'll see enough of that argument. Oh well also, wow i have to say about this movie, it's one of the few movies that's better than the book (and I love the book). This movie has been said to be one of Tim Burton's favorite movies (not sure how true that is) but you can see a lot of Tim Burton type stuff in this movie; dark fairytale telling, humor about things that shouldn't be funny, Creepyness, pure surrelism, and plain strangness. Any ways this is a very overlooked classic and my all time favorite movie.
- DirectorJerome RobbinsRobert WiseStarsNatalie WoodGeorge ChakirisRichard BeymerTwo youngsters from rival New York City gangs fall in love, but tensions between their respective friends build toward tragedy.Great Music Great Charactes Great story great dancing great acting great movie. Almost Flawless. Only complaint is it should "hot and tired so what, don't matter if he's tired as long as he's hot" instead of "hot and tired, poor dear, don't matter if he's tired as long as he's here". I know they had to censor the play but still you can't just do that.
- DirectorRobert ElfstromStarsJohnny CashRobert ElfstromJune Carter CashThe story of Jesus, from life to death and resurrection. Filmed on location in Israel, with narration and music by Johnny Cash.Johnny Cash telling the story of Jesus though word and sond must I say more. No, Well I'm gonna anyway. Great story telling great songs (Is to be expected of Johnny but still), great actors, great visuals(actuall shot on his and June's Vacation to Jersulm). Just all around over looked classic.
- DirectorAJ SchnackStarsJohn FlansburghJohn LinnellGina ArnoldDocumentary about the music group They Might Be Giants.They Might Be Giants are my all time favorite band so this may be more than a little bit baised. I love how this movie captures the deep meaning and the root of all these songs, but doesn't miss the madness of thier weirder songs. Great Documentry ALL FANS OF THE BAND MUST SEE!!!
- DirectorTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseMichael PalinBorn on the original Christmas in the stable next door to Jesus Christ, Brian of Nazareth spends his life being mistaken for a messiah.Frist off yes I am a christian and love this movie. Besides all the cussing and one nude scence(Both man and woman) most of it shouldn't be offensive at all. A lot of people have a hard time understanding the bible. It has been interpeted many ways and that's what this movie is making fun of PEOPLE MISUNDRESTANDING THE WORD OF GOD!!!! Anyway it's a classic film and my all time favorite comdey.
- DirectorDon BluthStarsElizabeth HartmanDerek JacobiDom DeLuiseTo save her ill son, a field mouse must seek the aid of a colony of rats, with whom she has a deeper link than she suspected.A movie that knows kids aren't the only ones watching it. Never once talks down to the audience and takes them very seriously. Really gets you to love these characters. Every second you're worring about what will happen to them. Actually Has some great and shocking plot twist and gets pretty darn dark at moments, but is really just an all around amazing movie.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppMartin LandauSarah Jessica ParkerAmbitious but troubled movie director Edward D. Wood Jr. tries his best to fulfill his dreams despite his lack of talent.Tim Burton's masterpiece. Also Great Bio. Not fully factual (The people didn't cuss that much), but great insight into the mind of the worst director ever
- DirectorLee UnkrichStarsTom HanksTim AllenJoan CusackThe toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.Wow This movie is a mordern classic. It is great to see a movie series we know and love to get such a great ending. Great writing great jokes great story (WITH AN AMAZING ENDING), and I don't need to mention how much I love these Characters.
- DirectorFrank CapraStarsJames StewartDonna ReedLionel BarrymoreAn angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.An all around classic movie.

- DirectorGreg FordFriz FrelengChuck JonesStarsMel BlancMel TorméRoy FirestoneDaffy Duck opens a detective agency for the supernatural along side his Looney Toon buddies.During the 80's they made a bunch of movies that mixed new animaition with the classic Looney Tunes.
