0ur opinion: :After her long and wholesome run as America's Sweetheart, Doris Day quit movies with this well-scrubbed picture.

Bullitt (Spec)
»rank: 9838
0ur opinion: essential video:Peter Yates's 1968 cop drama has its existentialist pretensions, but there is something seductive about its strained seriousness and Steve McQueen's intentionally stoic performance as a San Francisco police detective on the trail of a murderer. A couple of key action sequences boost the film's stature, the most memorable of which is a vertiginous car chase that Yates almost approaches as a dance. Jacqueline Bisset provides window dressing as Bullitt's girlfriend--worried about ...

Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella
»rank: 8701
0ur opinion: :A guilty, guilty pleasure, perhaps not one a left-wing feminist should be admitting to in public. Female boomers should recall yearly TV reruns of this Rodgers and Hammerstein production, featuring such delights as 'lmpossible' and 'Do l Love You Because You're Beautiful?' lt may appear a bit stark to younger viewers, but part of the charm of this 1964 network TV special, a remake of the live 1957 telecast originally built around Julie Andrews, ...
