A Japanese-American co-production, director Richard Fleischer (SOYLENT GREEN) and two Japanese directors put together this ultrarealistic account of the bombing of Pearl Harbor as presented from the perspectives of both nations, as diplomatic tensions rise between the two countries. While the Japanese military plans its attack on American military installations, the American forces nearly stumble into a much greater calamity due to a series of errors and mistakes. As the two sides plunge closer to war, the tension escalates until the final, spectacular air raid, the most realistic ever filmed. This ITA award winner has a fabulous cast, including Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, Jason Robards, James Whitmore, and E.G. Marshall.

Tora! Tora! Tora! Reviews:

"...The film glories in its Panavision sweep, from its full-length shots of battleships at sea to its artfully composed formations of Japanese fighter planes..." -- Michael Sauter, Entertainment Weekly

"[The] film now seems strikingly modern and mature." -- Dave Kehr, New York Times

3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] scrupulously authentic recreation of the build-up to Pearl Harbor..."-- Neil Smith, Total Film

3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he work of seasoned pulp directors Richard Fleischer and future BATTLES WITHOUT HONOR AND HUMANITY man Kinji Fukasaku keeps things taut."-- Damien Love, Uncut

4 stars A Must for Pearl Harbor Enthusists
Much like the new Pearl Harbor movie but without the drama/romance. This film is more of a chronology of events on both sides leading up to the attack. Movie lacks the degree of animation details prevalent in today's films. The many aircraft and explosion scenes are a must to see! Japanese scenes are in Japanese requiring a lot of english translation reading.

"Tora Tora Tora" is the best Pearl Harbor movie ever made. The sound on DVD was just like being in the theater.

3 stars unauthorized personnel on Japanese battleship
In the last scene, when Admiral Yamamoto is standingat the railing, there is a momentary shot of a sailor wearing whites in the background. I think that is an American sailor that quickly is out of range. I don't believe the Japanese sailors wore whites during battle. ( I'm a former destroyer sailor)

A sexy exploitation homage to cult classic LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, about Henry Fudd (Buck Kartalian), a mama's boy who's a bit of a peeping tom. With his two unusual plants as his main companions, Henry lures beautiful young girls to his bedroom where Adam and Eve (as the carnivorous plants are known) eat 'em up to get big and strong. Produced by exploitation maven Harry Novak. Pretty young ladies make the perfect plant food. Henry Fudd, an overage mama's boy and part time peeping tom, is the proud owner of two very peculiar plants he keeps locked in his bedroom.

DVD $7.05  4.5 stars
Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Frank W. Abagnale's autobiography CATCH ME IF YOU CAN follows the cat-and-mouse chase of Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) and FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) as Abagnale travels the world passing forged checks and assuming false identities. Covering the time period from 1963-69, the film leaps from the suburbs of New York to Georgia, Louisiana, Miami, France and the skies of Pan American airlines with Abagnale, who passes himself off as a pilot, doctor, lawyer and socialite, while constantly frustrating Hanratty's attempts to nab the increasingly cunning forger. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN finds Spielberg drawing on the father-son relationship that develops between Abagnale and Hanratty, filling a void left in the lives of each man: Abagnale's strained relationship with his tax-cheat father (Christopher Walken) and Hanratty's never-seen family left behind in the wake of a divorce. As Hanratty pursues Abagnale, their mutual admiration and respect ...

Maverick (Tom Cruise) is a reckless F-14 pilot who flies by instinct and breaks all of the rules. While attending the Navy's elite air combat training academy, affectionately known as "Top Gun," Maverick romances the civilian astrophysics instructor (Kelly McGillis) and competes with crackerjack pilot Ice (Val Kilmer) for top honors. He is the quintessential rebel, upsetting senior officers with his antics and risk-taking while simultaneously amazing them with his skill. In the end, Maverick overcomes a tragic loss and his need to stand out in the crowd and proves that he can shine as part of a team. Anthony Edwards stars as Maverick's best friend and co-pilot, Goose, and Meg Ryan first garnered attention as Goose's wife, Carole. Superb state-of-the-art aerial photography makes TOP GUN, directed by Tony Scott, one of the most exciting and entertaining films of its genre. This top grossing movie of ...
