Some Excellent Suggestions For An Amazing Motion Picture To View Tonight

By Chung Coleman

Many websites also provide software that allows you to transfer the motion picture to a dvd so that you can view it on your TV set. Watching motion pictures while cuddled up on the couch in front of your TV is much more appealing than sitting in front of a computer monitor. Make sure that the service provides that if it is crucial to you. Below are some of the greatest movies of all time. Choose a good movie to view this evening.

The Night of the Iguana - Trudging premise based on Tennessee Williams play. Recovered alcoholic clergyman Burton, a bus-journey guide in Mexico, becomes involved with Kerr, Gardner, and Lyon. Dorothy Jeakins won an Oscar for her costumes. Cast includes Richard Burton, Deborah Kerr, Ava Gardner, Sue Lyon, Skip Ward, Grayson Chamber, and Cyril Delevanti. (118 minutes, 1964)

The Defiant - A fascinating account of 2 escaped convicts, one black and one white who are chained together as they escape from prison in the South. Excellent performances by Williams and Chaney as individuals they meet during the voyage. Academy Prize for screenplay by Harold Jacob Smith and Nathan E. Cast includes Tony Curtis, Sidney Poitier, Theodore Bike, Charles McGraw, Carnie Williams, and Lon Chaney, Jr. (97 minutes, 1958)

Basic - While things go askew throughout an armed forces work out, base captain Daly brings in Travolta, the best interrogator he ever had, to question the surviving members of the squad, whose stories don't add up.

Jackson, Giovanni Ribisi, Tim Daly, Roselyn Sanchez, and Harry Connick. (2003 minutes, 1995)

Sugar Town - Amusing mosaic of LA life characterizing a handful of characters whose lives come together - a musician aspirant who will do anything to get ahead, an uptight lone woman who allures the inappropriate men like a magnet, and a band made up of cleaned-up '80s rock stars, to name a few. Made on a shoestring, although sharp and well recognized; brilliant cast comprises a number of real life musicians. Cast includes Ally Sheedy, Rosanna Arquette, John Taylor, Jade Gordon, Michael Des Barres, Lucinda Jenney, and Martin Kemp. (92 minutes, 1999)

On Guard - A trustworthy swordsman saves a child princess from the evil grasp of her spiteful opponent. The tot's father was also the swordsman's guru.

Jerry Maguire - Jerry is an agent for a top Sports Management group. When he is fired, he expects his client to come along with him as he sets out on his own. All of a sudden Jerry realizes that he has no sincere friends in this aggressive, dog eat dog, business. Down to one client and one assistant, Jerry fights to build himself a business.

The Gorgeous Hussy - Megastars fill the cast in this fictionalized historical drama of Peggy O'Neal, President Andrew Jackson's secret lover. The cast is brilliantly costumed in well assigned settings. The flick is based on the novel by Samuel Hopkins Joyce.
