Summary: The unforgettable sketches like the Ministry of Silly Walks and the Architects Sketch are gold. These are the classic episodes you don't want to miss!
My Rating:
My Review: Monty Python's flying circus ran for five years. I found this VHS cassette at a garage sale. Cost? $.25. That's tough to beat. This tape contained two 30 minute episodes from the television show. Containing two classic skits - The Architects and The Ministry of Silly Walks - plus many more laughable minutes. I was very pleased with this legendary lunacy.

Collection ID 36
Director: Sergio Leone
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Marianne Koch, Gian Maria Volonté, Wolfgang Lukschy, Sieghardt Rupp
Genre: Action
Studio: Constantin Film   Release date: 1964   Rated: R   
Language (Country): English (West Germany)
Summary: A wandering gunfighter plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge.
My Rating:
My Review: Clint Eastwood stars as Joe in Sergio Leone's 'Man with no name' trilogy. In this third and final film, Joe, the wandering gunman comes upon a lawless town with two 'bosses'. The town is rife with greed, pride, revenge and violence - The perfect breeding ground for a man like Joe. Hiring on with the Baxters and then the Rojos, Joe's gun starts a war that earns him a fistful of dollars and a far more trouble than he was hoping for. It's a remake of Akira Kurosawa's classic Yojimbo, and the music by Ennio Morricone elevates this movie above the standard Spaghetti Western. This movie was a turning point in Clint Eastwoods career. On an incredibly small budget, Sergio Leone created a classic that has withstood the test of time. I give it a 5 out of 5.

Collection ID 81
Director: Michael Ritchie
Starring: Chevy Chase, Joe Don Baker, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Richard Libertini, Tim Matheson
Genre: Comedy
Studio: Universal Pictures   Release date: 1985   Rated: PG   
Language (Country): English, French (USA)
Summary: Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, Los Angeles journalist, really lives for his profession. As Jane Doe, he publishes articles that have caused several heads to roll in the past. Now, Fletch is at it again: In disguise as a bum, he lives at the beach, researching drugs and their dealing. One day, Fletch is addressed by Alan Stanwyk, a rich man, who asks him, the bum, a favour. For the sum of $50,000, Fletch should kill poor cancer-ridden Mr. Stanwyk with a gun, so that his wife will get the insurance money. What the guy didn't think of was Fletch's real profession. Returning into normal life, Fletch instantly takes up research not only to find out that Mr. Stanwyk is healthy as life itself but he also runs into certain connections between drug dealing at the beach, Alan Stanwyk, his private jet, the police and a very expensive piece of Land in Utah.
My Rating:
My Review: Chevy Chase stars in this witty comedy as a wise-cracking investigative journalist. The pacing in this movie was excellent. The jokes are subtle, and Chevy Chase was excellent in the role. Chevy Chase goes undercover in an attempt to break a story about drugs infiltrating L.A. In a seemingly unrelated sub-plot, a wealthy bussiness man offers Chevy a pile of cash, if he'll murder him? As Chevy attempts to unravel theses mysteries, he dons various disguises and lays it on thick with the one-liners. Add in some excellent music and you've got an excellent movie. It almost felt as if the producers took a movie that was supposed to be a serious crime drama, and asked Chevy to improvise all his lines. Great writing, with a plot that kept me interested despite it's hollywood flavor. Chevy Chase shines in the klieglight of this comedy.
