Al Capone **** (1959, Rod Steiger, Fay Spain, James Gregory, Joe De Santiis, Murvyn Vye, Nehemiah Persoff, Martin Balsam) – Classic Movie Review 10,627
Director Richard Wilson’s 1959 crime thriller biopic Al Capone showcases one of Rod Steiger’s quintessential performances, just stopping short of parody, as Chicago’s best known citizen, the Prohibition-era mobster Alphonse Capone (1899-1947), which lights up […]
Lucky Lady * (1975, Liza Minnelli, Gene Hackman, Burt Reynolds, Michael Hordern, Geoffrey Lewis, Robby Benson, John Hillerman)

Crawford plays the role of Gerry March, a department store mannequin who falls in love […]
Last Man Standing **** (1996, Bruce Willis, Christopher Walken, Bruce Dern, William Sanderson) – Classic Movie Review 4927
Writer-director Walter Hill’s dark, dour and downbeat 1996 American gangster movie remake of Akira Kurosawa’s classic Japanese adventure Yojimbo (1961) is a thrilling action movie. It stars Bruce Willis as John Smith, Christopher Walken as Hickey, Bruce Dern […]
