Good performances, including Travolta, but highly overrated film as a whole. Doesn't hold up to repeat viewings well. It's fun to watch Travolta strut up the stairs... once. This was the film that help give director Barry Sonnenfeld the clout to inflict films like WILD WILD WEST on us.

Origin of the "sci fi comedy" genre, with Saturday Night alums Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray handling the ghost removal duties. Murray winks to the camera through the whole film, establishing himself as the "above the fray" jackass that keeps things grounded. Spawned a fairly lousy sequel.

SWINGERS director Doug Liman takes a stab at the overlapping plot structure a la Pulp Fiction. The proceedings are fun and keep moving fairly fast in this story, which is important because of the paper thin plot. Best of all, unlike Swingers, Liman keeps this film in focus.

This set includes two of the best films of all time, and one of the worst (or disappointing, at least.) My personal favorite, The Godfather, begins the epic story of the Corleone crime family. The Godfather, Part II features DeNiro in lieu of Marlon Brando, which is a nice replacement to have. Part III is best forgotten.

The "other" mafia film, and some say better. Martin Scorsese's best film (sorry, didn't enjoy RAGING BULL) offers an insider's look into a kinetic rise of a young Mafia thug, who later turns to the Federal Witness Protection Program. The creative use of music in the soundtrack helps immensely.

One of the few movie musicals that everyone likes. Travolta solidifed his stardom with this film, proving he could both sing and dance. Olivia Newton-John manages to make the goody-goody Sandy likeable, and her transformation at the end of the film actually pays off well. Still, karaoke bars wouldn't exist without this soundtrack.
