Basically this movie is about a guy that ends up dying way too young from a car crash. In order for him to get into heaven, he has to help out a teenager with certain things. I don't want to go too far into it b/c I don't want to risk spoiling it for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Looking back at it now, it's a little aged but no matter how many times I've seen it, I still laugh at this movie. I know that it's quite predictable at times, especially after you've watched other movies with similiar plots/scripts. But it's still one of those films that I watch e every time I see it on cable. :) Good family movie that can bring up some laughter in the process.

I used to wait in anticipation from wk to wk for the next episode of Dawson's Creek to come on. From the very beginning I was hooked. The dialogue was great, the acting was appropriate if not outstanding (aside from a few ppl...I'll get into that later) and the first few seasons were just outstanding. But then it started to lack a little. First off, when Dawson and Joey actually started trying to make their relationship "more than friends" I thought that was an ok turn around... esp when I liked Michelle William's character (Jen) better. Pacey (Joshua Jackson) always seemed to bring a laugh out with the lines he had and the other characters that started to come into the story line seemed relevant to where you could relate to them. But as soon as Dawson and Joey started breaking it, it seemed like it went from being "Dawson's Creek" to "Joey's Creek".. everything revolved around her. No offense to other commenters, but I don't view Katie Holmes as such a great actress. Anyone can roll their eyes around or mumble out their words like she does.. if you look closely she does mumble quite a bit! In disgust, I stopped watching it after the one season where Joey and Pacey set out to sea together. Just recently I watched some of the season premiere and I feel as though I made the right choice by not following it. Katie Holmes prevails once again, while Michelle Williams deserves more recognition. What Dawson's Creek used to be is now a far cry away compared to what it is now.

I was actually surprised when I saw this film. The acting wasn't bad... and the surf sequences were VERY impressive... let's just say we've come alot further if you compare this to other surfing films (i.e. like "Gidget" and the Frankie & Annette movies... but hey I still love them). It didn't drag time either, which was a major plus. If you're into surfing.. or even if you're not, check it out for the surf scenes alone or the scenery that is in the movie.

This movie was a blast to sit through. Yeah it did have a mixture of elements and jokes from the first two films, but it still had enough spark to keep you laughing. In fact, I thought this was the best one of the Austin Powers trilogy... if they are going to have another one, I find it to be rather difficult to top this one..esp with the cameo's in it. You can definitely bet I will buy this when it comes out on DVD.

This film was a little slow in the beginning, but it was effective in the extent of getting its point across. After watching Robin Williams in so many different roles, mostly in comedy, who would have thought that he could pull off the role as a seriously disturbed employee that works in the one hour photo booth for a store? Regardless, he did wonderful in the role...so wonderful it gives me chills to think that this can be happening in real life. The other actors/actresses were great in the film as well...but Williams just steals the show! It's a definite must-see... and was definitely worth my time.

This movie kept me on the edge of my seat... although after a certain point I knew who was doing what and so forth. I'm not a bad fan of Kiefer but he didn't do half bad in the movie. Whoever writes these type of movies deserve a pat on the back because they play with your mind just enough to where it is a look of surprise when you realize the plot unfolding into your lap. I'd gave it a thumbs up.

The character Michael Douglas plays (DFENS) has surely had a rough day. It's sad to think how much people can push the limit and this movie actually treads across that line. The script is great; it even allows a few quirky lines that will make you laugh. As for Douglas, he is perfect in this role. I was not much of a fan of his, but after seeing this movie I decided that maybe I should give him a second chance and not be so rough on him. Good movie... very true to form. At least it is believable with the way the world can be sometimes.

For the time it was released in, "The Lost Boys" was actually pretty scary. It didn't use a lot of special effects and what it did used actually appeared to be realistic. I've watched this film plenty of times and I will watch it again. It's not a bad movie, but it's not the best horror flick that I have seen. Definitely better than "The Howling" series if you ask me.

It's sad that this film is rarely heard of. The script is great and the cast does wonders to portraying their characters. Doug McKeon plays Jonathan, a cute but yet dorky guy that secretly lusts after Kelly Preston (Marilyn McCully), one of the "hotter" chicks in high school. Along comes Chris Nash who plays Gene, the rebel/loner who befriends Jonathan and promises to get him "hooked" up. The story is so cute.. it's a typical 80's movie plot but nevertheless it is great. Some of the scenes and lines (1001...1002...2000 haha) are hilarious to where you have tears streaming down your face from laughing so hard. If you have a chance to see this movie, I recommend it... it will be worth it!

Definitely a film about imagination. Truly wonderful and the cast was great! I have the film on DVD and can't wait to watch it over again. Most of my friends and family ask why I like the film, but I think it has a lot to do with the plot and the way the story tells itself. Everything is great and it only leaves me with the wish that I could have been Charlie winning the golden ticket and going on that once in a lifetime journey.

I caught this film one day and I was not disappointed at all. Rock Hudson believes that he is dying and wants to make sure his wife (played by Doris Day) will be fine after he passes away. Tony Randall plays their friend and neighbor who gets involved in the ordeal, making this film a great laughfest. The way everything carries along is great, and once again Rock and Doris make an exceptional couple. As for trio wise, I would definitely have to say that they are my favorite trio ever.. this movie along with "Pillow Talk" are my favorite older comedies!

This was the only version I have seen.... I saw how this was a remake of a remake but I never saw the other two. I wouldn't necessarily say that this movie is all that bad... I guess it could be funnier but it's one of those movies where you can still see the "lighter" side of life or the way things were back in the time it was filmed. Doris Day is cute and perky while James Garner isn't all too bad looking himself, but plays his role modestly and maintains his composure .. even though I'm sure most of us would have reacted quite differently to the situation at hand. Thelma Ritter cut in a few lines that brought a smile to my face... and seeing Don Knotts... what a treat! He certainly added to the movie. I'm not saying this movie is bad, it's not that great either but I think that Doris made better films aside from this one. But.. there again I would still watch it if I happen to get the chance to do so again.

I was browsing through and figured that I would try a search on some of the older movies/series I used to watch when I was younger.. what a delight to see that Mister Ed was part of them! I miss watching the series so much and I agree that Nick at Nite or some other provider should pick up the series and air it again. I can still remember some of the episodes (such as Ed surfing or the occasional way Ed would pick up a pencil that he used to dial a phone number with) and how much I looked forward to watching it every night. It would be great to see someone even make a movie out of it.. I would definitely go to see it! I would also recommend anyone to watch the series.. maybe you'll love it like I have for so many years!

I can still remember my mother telling me of how much she loved Doris Day and that I would have to find a certain movie for her that also had Rock Hudson in it. To my surprise, I found it on a classic movie channel and started watching it and my mouth about dropped open when I saw who was starring in the movie. Instantly I fell in love with Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall! The chemistry between Rock and Doris was so believable...it's hard to fathom that they were just "good" friends offscreen. The script is truly witty and I love how everything fell into place. Even Thelma Ritter as Alma snuck in some humor by eavesdropping on the conversations Rock was having with his "women" (and how could he not be a player as handsome as he is) and drinking Rock Hudson under the table in the one scene. I was so delighted after seeing that movie that I decided to find more of the casts' other movies, but this still remains on the top of my list. Definitely one of my favorites!!

I happen to be a fan of Doris Day's so I tend to watch anything of hers I can manage to snag on television or rent from the video store. When I saw this, I was not disappointed. It was cute, funny and some of the songs in the movie were great (like Be My Baby Bumblebee..haha). Gordon McRae, as always, has a wonderful voice and it was nice to see him paired up w/ Doris. Billy Gray as Welsey made me chuckle with the turkey scene..and Mary Wickes as Stella the housekeeper even threw in a few lines that made me chuckle as well. I love watching it any time of the year, but it happens to air around the holidays more..which actually appeals to me. It's nice to be able to relate to a movie especially when it is based around the same time of the year that you are experiencing at that moment. If you have a chance to see it, I would definitely recommend it.

This was one of my first "older" movies that I watched and I remember falling asleep through half of it (because I was so young and really didn't understand much of the concept). Luckily, I was able to remember the name of the movie and decided to watch it when I found out it would be airing later on. What a delight. The more I would watch the film, the more involved I became in the plot. Rex Harrison was charming, yet standoffish at times, but yet he played his character to where you felt as if you could love him. As for Gene Tierney, even in black and white her beauty shines through. Her acting is faultless and she plays the part of Mrs. Muir to where you can put herself in her shoes. As for the film itself, the scenery and background where the house was filmed was breath taking and if you think about it, very well done for the time it was filmed in. The script supports the cast and background to spin such an intoxicating lure that it keeps you hooked and you can't help but to fall in love with it.. or to feel with the characters are feeling at that moment. More so now, I love this film and I'm trying to find a copy on DVD (I don't know if it's made onto DVD's yet). I made my husband watch it with me because he's not into many of the older films/classics and even he said that it was a great film, which I already knew. I just hope that they continue to air some of the classic films such as this one that deserves a chance to be watched and known.

I was so little when I first saw this movie that I cannot remember the exact details but I do remember how it used to air on television around Thanksgiving time and my family used to gather around as though it was a big event. Then we recorded it and the tape fell apart literally since I watched it so many times. I have it on DVD now and I love watching it. I let my eight year old nephew (six at the time) watch it with me for his first time when I bought the DVD. What a delight to watch the expressions on his face when he first saw the witch, the munchkins and even more so.. The Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man. This will always be a classic and I can't wait to pass it on further down the family. It is so nice to see a down to earth film, yet how much was put into it. The film may have been made back in 1939 but it will always be a timeless classic!
