Phenominally successful film, about a man named Sam , who is killed and begins his journey to solving his own murder , as a ghost. Simple plot , however , the story is told with a fantastic cast. Whoopie Goldburg gives an outstanding, Oscar winning, performance as the medium that helps , Sam , communicate and get his earthly revenge. Everyone says this is a great film. I say , ditto.

"You must not care whether you live or die"
There were three medieval/British Isle films released in 1995 -- "Braveheart," "Rob Roy" and "First Knight." Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" is certainly the most epic of the three, but I found it incredibly overrated; which isn't to say I don't like it, I just don't feel that it's as great as the hype would suggest. I rate it 3.5/5 Stars. I liked "Rob Roy" slightly better than "Braveheart;" it's very adult-oriented, violent and grim, however. I give it 4/5 Stars.
First Knight Is First Class
A very pleasing all-around movie is how I found this Knights Of The Roundtable-type story and a good one for DVD, even one that's been on disc for quite some time. For an early DVD, this was a real treat for the ears with some great rear- speaker sound. The story, however, not the sound, was the main appeal of this film for me.
Gorgeous film of love, maturity, betrayal and forgiveness
This well-acted and told story features Richard Gere as the handsome, adventuresome loner, Lancelot; Julia Ormond as strong, principled Guineviere; and Sean Connery as noble King Arthur.Ben Cross perfectly portrays the self-righteously arrogant, destructive villain, Malagant.The settings move between the forests of Great Britain and the exquisite golden and slate blue castle of Camelot.The brilliantly written script contains various references to Christianity.The plot vividly portrays the struggle between forces of violent, oppressive domination and the defense of the innocent, which entails self-sacrifice.This story is my favorite.I've enjoyed it each time, and gain new insights with each viewing.If you enjoy romantic, historical adventures, you will surely savor this outstanding film ...

Not as good as first three episodes, not as original, but funny nonetheless

Run out and get "Police Squad!"
This review applies to both "Police Squad!" tapes.
Execs "Knew" Best
From what I read years ago, there were actually 8 (maybe 9)"Police Squad" episodes, but the network killed the series before all aired. Execs there apparently knew what we liked better that we. They probably figured "What's the point of Nielson informing the show's many fans that a hospital is "a big building full of sick people, but that's not important now." ... Read more

"Frank, I gotta warn ya, she looks pretty
One of the funniest shows ever!
I must confess off the bat that I bought this on eBay as a DVD without realising it isn't yet available in this format - the DVDs were burned and didn't last long :( Why this series hasn't been released on DVD is beyond me when you see some of the junk that did make it to DVD!
If you can find this, buy it immediately!

Top Secret
Excellent Movie.
Top secret mission:funny!
This movie is the greatest action spoof I have ever seen in my life!I recomand this movie to anyone who likes hot shots.Rated PG for sexual humor and brief humorous language.

You gotta be in the right mood...
Top Secret! is not a repeat of Airplane!The jokes and spoofs don't come as often, are not as funny, and have a cruder focus (should have been PG-13).This film certainly doesn't have as great a supporting cast.However, movies like this have their place, and this one's place is in a room full of friends and libations, where the expectations are not so high and the atmosphere in the room is a spark away from a laugh inferno.

What's your vector, Victor?
This movie is hysterical!Talk about busting a gut!Who could forget the lines, "Don't call me Shirley" or "Yes it is, but that's not important right now!"The wordplay in this movie is sheer genius; something we don't really see all that often in modern comedies.I was a kid when this came out, so I'm not familiar with all the movies they spoof, but it's still rather funny.....even if you don't get all the jokes.

WILDLY OVER-THE-TOP & SOMEHOW USUALLY VERY FUNNY
PART BURLESQUE - PART VAUDEVILLE -- BUT FUNNY ALTOGETHER
My favorite
Great one-liners, puns and sight gags, all played with deadpan perfection. Don't let my simplistic description mislead you, though: this spoof of disaster films is no standup comedy routine. Rather, I find it quite simply the funniest movie I have ever seen. The comedy is innovative and, at the time it was made, unlike any other comedy. While some gags in the movie appear merely silly or sophomoric, to make humor this funny takes a good deal of intelligence. It is almost surreal to see Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen and Peter Graves deliver such hysterical lines. Often imitated, never equaled. ... Read more

Vegas - a city where millions go hoping to get rich.And for nine lucky people, that just might come true.While playing the slots, each of these people won a special gold coin inviting them to lunch.At the lunch, they learn they have been selected to participate in a race for $2 million dollars.All they have to do is be the first to get to a locker in the train depot in Silver City, New Mexico.
Laugh Out Loud
This movie is a hilarious laugh out loud movie - every second is filled with humor!The cast was amazing - everyone fit their roles.The movie is filled with wacky twists and turns, and the ending is something that no one expects.The theme song to go with the movie is very catchy, I loved it.

Entertaining and Captivating
I was one of those who thought that Connery and Gere were too old to play their respective parts of Arthur and Lancelot in this film. Then I viewed the film. All thoughts of miscasting went out of my head, as I just kicked backed and enjoyed this highly entertaining and captivating story. The three major stars in this film, including Julia Ormond("Sabrina"), as Guinevere, had a wonderful on screen chemistry with each other, the scenery was beautiful, the costumes delightful, the romance enchanting, the battle scenes heartpumping, and the music(Jerry Goldsmith) haunting and thrilling.
criminal
This film is an insult to the viewers intelligence and the Arthurian tradtion. I can not believe how awful this film is. Wooden acting, contempt for the source material, some of the worst period costumes and armour ever seen in a film and a scrip to bad they could use it for torture sessions...

Medieval Gere-ooh la la!
I think this is one of Gere's overlooked films.He is very athletic and agile in this movie.The only thing he could've improved was his English accent, which tended to wax and wane throughout the movie.He was far better in this than Kevin Costner was playing Robin Hood with a midwest accent.Another good Gere historical movie was Somersby with Jodie Foster. ...

A CrAzY, FUNNY, COOL REBEL 70'S ROCK MOVIE!!!!!!!!
MAN, I ALWAYS HATED SCHOOL!!!! I glad that in this movie the students TEAR IT APART!!!! and not only that!, the kids smoke pot, smell coke and they invite THE RAMONES to their school so they can "ROCK N' BLOW"!!!!
would have given it five stars but it's non-anamorphic!
the box clearly says anamorphic widescreen; that's why I bought it to play on my new widescreen TV. it's not, it's non-anamorphic letterbox so instead of it filling the whole screen, it's now a postage stamp in the middle of my screen. what a gyp! how bout it Buena Vista, where's the enhanced widescreen disc?
4 Stars for Cultishness and Charm!
I watched this movie on UMD on my PSP, (not the DVD version) and I thoroughly enjoyed it.It was a great movie, and had a lot of charisma and charm, albeit lacking a bit in production.But that didn't bother me.Sure, the acting is sub-par, and just above a Porno plot, but how can you overlook the cuteness of PJ Soles.What warm blooded american male or female for that much, can resist her sexy charms as she seduces the hearts of the Ramones.
