: It's A Wonderful Life James Stewart | George Bailey

Jimmy's Wonderful Christmas Classic
November 21, 2006 Picked By A-Xiang Joe See all this editor's picks
It's A Wonderful Life ranks as one of the favorite movies of all time and it's no wonder. One of the key factors to the success of the Frank Capra (Arsenic and Old Lace) movie is no doubt the wonderful cast led by Donna Reed as well as the film's male protagonist James "Jimmy" Stewart (Rear Window, The Glenn Miller Story). Stewart, in one of his most memorable roles, portrays George Bailey. His father is the head of a charity organization that tries to help people in need. However, everything rests on George's shoulders after his father unexpectedly passes away. From that moment onwards, George encounters a lot of mishaps, the biggest of which appearing in the form of greedy mogul Mr. Potter... [read more]

: The Sound of Music Andrews Julie

Julie enchants with <i>The Sound of Music</i>
November 21, 2006 Picked By A-Xiang Joe See all this editor's picks
If you like nature, music, positive thinking and classic movies, Robert Wise's (West-Side Story) The Sound of Music will keep you captivated for its running time of almost 180 minutes. However, chances are high that even general viewers will be swept away by the charm of this Rodger Hammerstein musical turned silver screen epic. Without a doubt, the film's success is mainly due to its perfectly cast female lead, Julie Andrews (Marry Poppins, Victor/Victoria). She portrays Maria, a happy-go-lucky nun who arrives late at all major assemblies, but never fails to please everybody with her merry spirits. After she is assigned to take care of a group of motherless siblings, her joyful nature... [read more]

: North by Northwest (US Version) Martin Landau (Actor) | Cary Grant (Actor) | Leo G. Carroll (Actor) | Eva Marie Saint (Actor)

Cary + Hitch's Grand Final
November 20, 2006 Picked By A-Xiang Joe See all this editor's picks
When "Master of Suspense" Alfred Hitchcock (Rear Window, Dial M for Murder, The Birds) teamed-up with suave Cary Grant for the last time for North By North-West in 1959, he created nothing less than a timeless masterpiece. Hitchcock and Grant had earlier already successfully collaborated in To Catch A Thief that also starred Grace Kelly, and Notorious, in which Grant appeared next to Ingrid Bergmann. The espionage thriller that's sprinkled with Hitchcockian humor revolves around the abduction of Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) who happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Thornhill is mistaken to be a guy called Kaplan who was created by the FBI, but doesn't exist to lead the opposite... [read more]

: Urusei Yatsura - Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer (Collector's Edition) (DVD) (US Version) Oshii Mamoru (Director) | Akio Wakana | Katsu Hoshi

Oshii Dreamin'
November 20, 2006 Picked By Sanwei See all this editor's picks
Oshii Mamoru and Urusei Yatsura? It is now almost hard to imagine that Ghost in the Shell director Oshii, the master of cyber punk and artful alienation, first made his name with Urusei Yatsura, a hectic off-color anime series about a lecherous high school student and his turquoise-haired, leopard-bikini-clad alien girlfriend. When Oshii embarked on Beautiful Dreamer, it was his second go at a feature-length Urusei Yatsura film, and he did things a bit differently this time around. While the first film was a competent, fairly faithful adaptation of the manga, Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer was an entirely different and beautiful beast. Manga writer Takahashi Rumiko and die-hard Urusei... [read more]

: Roman Holiday Gregory Peck | Audrey Hepburn

Audrey's Debut
November 10, 2006 Picked By A-Xiang Joe See all this editor's picks
This movie stars Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in perhaps one of the most romantic movies ever shot Roman Holiday. It was Audrey's debut Hollywood movie and also the only performance that won her an Oscar. What's also worth noting is that the film was directed by William Wyler whose Ben Hur was the unrivalled movie as far as awarded Oscars are concerned until James Cameron's Titanic set sail. As for Roman Holiday even though it did not become an Oscar giant, it's still a memorable movie with top notch performances by Gregory Peck, Eddie Albert, and of course Audrey Hepburn who hardly ever fails to capture the hearts of any movie connoisseur. In this movie she portrays a princess who is... [read more]
