| | Emperor Of The North DVD (4 Customer Reviews)
Soundtrack English Drawing inspiration from Jack London's adventures traveling with hobos aboard trains throughout the U.S., this gritty Depression-era drama features outstanding performances from Lee Marvin, Keith Carradine, and Ernest Borgnine. Shack (Borgnine) is a cruel railroad agent who makes it his personal mission to rid the world of hobos out for a free ride. Legendary tough-guy hobo A-1 (Marvin) vows to ride Shack's train to its destination and survive, which would earn him the title of "Emperor of the North Pole." A humorous game of cat-and-mouse ensues, complicated by the pesky presence of the dimwitted Cigaret (Carradine), who is determined to prove himself but instead just gets in the way.

Emperor Of The North Movie Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   One of the all-time great RR films, ever!
As a former conductor and roundhouse laborer for the Canadian Pacific Railway, I found this film to be very realistic with few exceptions, which is quite an accomplishment for Hollywood. If you enjoy good old-fashioned railroad action and a decent story to go with it, you will enjoy this picture. It's a wonder no stunt men were killed in making this film, but I bet some got a few bumps, though.

 A Must Have!
I loved this gritty action flick since the day I first saw it at the theater. I owned the video and now the DVD. You can't miss with this one, pretty much a guy type movie.

Classic. This is what a movie should be.
Real characters, gritty story line,
superbly portrayed. Marvin and Borgnine are at the top of their form. Captivating from start to finish. Absolutely excellent movie. Must see.

Two of the greatest tough-guy actors of all time (Lee Marvin & Ernest Borgnine) head-to-head from beginning to end. What more do you need.

Rail fans!!!
If you are a railfan this is a 5 star movie, if your not-it's still a 4 star.
The views of train details used as backgrounds are great, and seldom seen.
There are no, white hat, all good heros
here just hard men living through hard times.

$16.89 
The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played with a delicious verve by Reba McEntire, and Detective Dehling talking with a priest; each ...

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends sets his piano on fire, and another gets him to wear a glow-in-the-dark condom, allowing him to engage in a condom duel with her jealous, similarly clad ...
