"This is the black athlete who broke racial barriers before Joe Louis, before Jackie Robinson. Mr. Owens gave the world speed, grace, and dignity. As a film it touched me in ways that "Chariots of Fire" did not...although both are impressive cinematic events."
"During 1955-1965, a brilliant New York school teacher, Albert Cullum, developed revolutionary techniques to turn his 5th graders into great learners and humanists. This is the real thing - not fiction like "The Paper Chase" or "To Sir with Love." Elsewhere, the critical need for money to fund education in 3rd world countries is the subject of the inspirational biography titled "A Small Act."
"By age 25, a woman was the nation's first stunt journalist and crusading reporter. Other movies about courageous female reporters: "Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice" - exposing widespread southern lynching of black men; Louise Brooks - documenting the Russian Revolution in "Reds"; Ruth Gruber - assisting Jewish World War II survivors enter America in "Haven."
"People will quibble that the movie takes liberties with the facts...yet, the epic battle of egos between the Pope and Michelangelo was real and dramatic. [Those who usually associate Charlton Heston as Moses in "The Ten Commandments" will be surprised how good he is in playing the greatest artist of the Renaissance]"
"A study of Einstein's genius and his E= MC2 equation by exploring his idea in light of the contributions of the physicists that preceded him: Faraday for the electromagnetic theory, Maxwell for his principle of the constancy of the speed of light, Lavoisier for the idea of conservation of mass, and others."
"She was the world's most "controversial" filmmaker. Brilliant in the field of aesthetics, camera technique, and ethnography, she allowed her talents to be usurped by the 3rd Reich. A thought provoking essay on the relationship between art and the values it promotes."
"A brilliant portrayal of the American World War II general who terrorized the enemy as well as his own troops. Many consider this the best war biography ever placed on the screen and it is hard to disagree. [My second favorite World War II film of the American experience in Europe, based on a journalist's eye-witness reports, is "The Story of G.I. Joe"]"
"An incredible documentary. This is not only the story of a deeply intelligent Indian and an impressive anthropologist but an indictment of the white man's treatment of Native Americans."
"One of my favorite movies when I was growing up. It's a story about a man who takes life - who later in his jail experience learns to respect it. (Disclaimer: important facts have been changed from the true life history of the prisoner]. For prison biographies that involve the death penalty, choose "Dead Man Walking", "In Cold Blood", or "I Want to Live."
"If you have ever wondered what a minstrel sounded like, as he weaves his story of the epic heroes of yore...this is it! Spellbinding oral literature on DVD? Try "Charles Dickens - featuring BBC Television's David Copperfield" with Anton Lesser's fabulous narration of Dickens "Christmas Carol"...then James Mason's reading of the horror short story "Tell-Tale Heart" in the DVD "UPA Collection."
"The mountain gorilla is among the rarest of species. Scientist Dian Fossey gave her life (literally) to save these especially intelligent beings. ApesRUs: "Jane Goodall's Return to Gombe" (or) "Disneynature Chimpanzee" (or) the mini-series "Dark Days in Monkey City." Even the sci/fi - "Rise of Planet of the Apes" - underscores the similarities to our primate cousins."
"An extraordinary likeness, David Straithairn is amazing as Edward Murrow who launches a journalist's attack in the 1950's against Senator McCarthy's abusive labeling of enemies as communists. On blacklisting, also watch "The Front", "Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg", and "Hollywood on Trial." In this light reconsider Elia Kazan's (disguised) apology for testifying to the HUAC - "On the Waterfront."
"Cinema fans of "Midnight in Paris" should check this out - a composite biography of Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Beach, and other remarkable American women who relocated to the left bank of Paris in the 1920's to explore alternative life-styles, literature, and art. For in depth information, I recommend two books by or about these individuals: "Shakespeare & Company" and "The Steins Collect."
"The tale of Oedipus is Greek Myth. But a similar tragedy really took place...in 19th century New England. If you can't find this rare movie, you can learn most of the story in a historical novel by Judith Rossner called "Emmeline. [This is part of the outstanding American Experience series which covers topics as diverse as "The Fatal Flood", "Eugene O'Neill", or the "Transcontinental Railroad"]"
"The human thirst for freedom explodes in this story of the great slave revolt against Rome. It's certainly the best film of gladiator combat I know of...and yet there is something to be said for the film "Barabbas" - even though he - unlike Spartacus - may be a fiction."
"James Earl Jones' powerful physical performance makes us feel the triumphs and pain of the first Black heavyweight of the world - a boxer, a champion who lived his own definition of manhood despite what blacks and whites expected of him. You must, absolutely must, compare this film with Ken Burn's outstanding documentary of the same boxer entitled "Unforgivable Blackness."
"Paul Scofield gives an immense performance as Sir Thomas More who would not despoil his Catholic values to appease his king Henry VIII. Gorgeous historical dramas of other deeply spiritual dissenters of the Renaissance are the mini-series "St. Theresa of Avila" and "John Wycliffe - The Morning Star."
"Bitter family quarrel between King Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. Katherine Hepburn's performance defines what great acting should be like. It's the best film on the Middle Ages in England."
"Sidney Reilly was a brilliant espionage agent who redefined the rules of spying. He nearly succeeded in putting himself at the top of the Russian government to replace Lenin and the Bolsheviks. He was suave, handsome, clever, and at times inexcusably ruthless."
"Mystic, nun, musician, herbalist - Hildegard was a profound thinker during the Middle Ages centuries ahead of her time. [See it alongside "Hildegard Von Bingen in Portrait"]. One of the film's strengths is that it avoids overly sentimental treatment in the style of "The Reluctant Saint" or "Song of Bernadette." On women herbal healers, check out "A Midwife's Tale" or "Juliette of the Herbs."
