Top Comedy Movies
In addition to making us laugh, comedy movies make us think about our lives and the world around us in new ways. My choices of films here are an eclectic mix ranging over a variety of comedy sub-genres, including parody, screwball, and dark comedy. This is my personal, idiosyncratic list of favorites, and it doesn't necessarily reflect the popular wisdom on comedy movies. For the sake of focus, I've limited my choices to English-language talkies
Coming to DVD
Here's a quick look at selected upcoming releases, coming to DVD soon.
Romantic Movies
There's no guarantee of finding romance in real life, but if you know where to look, you can usually find romantic movies at least, and I've listed below some of my favorites that are available on video and DVD.
Drama Movies
Conflict is essential to drama. The movies that move me deeply are those where the conflict grows out of what's at stake for the characters. This is true even in the case of "2001," where the most interesting character is a computer, and what's at risk is the next step in human evolution. This is my personal, idiosyncratic list of favorites, and it doesn't necessarily reflect the popular wisdom on drama movies. For the sake of focus, I've limited my choices to English-language talkies.
Action Movies
Movies can show fierce battles, high-speed chases, and horrific explosions that most of us will never experience in real life, and I think such sequences properly used make films far more emotionally engaging. Here I've selected movies containing action that is well-integrated into the story. This is my personal, idiosyncratic list of favorites, and it doesn't necessarily reflect the popular wisdom on action movies. For the sake of focus, I've limited my choices to English-language talkies.

Review: "The Notebook" DVD
I would describe the movie The Notebook as an unabashedly romantic tale about love, memories, and death. It's a weepy, but I believe it's one that men can connect with. It's based on a novel by a man, the screenplay was written by a man, and the director is a man. The story chronicles one otherwise-quite-ordinary man's uncompromising love.

"THX 1138" DVD
Before George Lucas became famous, he co-wrote and directed an excellent movie titled THX 1138starring Robert Duvall. Now a restored director’s cut of that film is being released as a superb two-disc DVD set loaded with worthwhile bonus materials. A single-disc version is also available, but missing most of the extras. With either DVD version you'll get a first-rate movie and an excellent commentary track, but I recommend the two-disc version because of its terrific bonus materials.

Movies With Wedding Scenes
Traditionally, June is the month for getting married, and this started me thinking about movies where weddings and/or wedding receptions play an important part in the story.

Thirteen DVD
What I like best about Thirteen is that its so different from Hollywood films. It's unsparingly depressing, and it provides no feeling of closure or satisfaction. I think all those are positive attributes. But on the negative side, I found the movie to be almost painfully prosaic—the filmmakers seem more interested in social commentary than storytelling. Read a review of the movie Thirteen on DVD.

French New Wave Films
The French New Wave was a movement led by a group of young filmmakers that included Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Alain Resnais, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette. The idea of a New Wave film was that it should seem personal and freewheeling, as opposed to the corporate and highly polished movies being produced by the studios. Below I have listed in alphabetical order five of the best of the French New Wave films.
