Movies starring Craig T. Nelson

Stir Crazy (1980)

108 mins     Comedy, Crime      

Out of the 4 movies which Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor collaborated on as actors "Stir Crazy" is probably my favourite, delivering an abundance of humour and quick fire banter which manages to make even the most stupid of ga...

Private Benjamin (1980)

109 mins     Comedy      

"Private Benjamin" is one of those movies which I haven't watched in years yet I have fond memories of it back in the 80s when I last watched it. Oh what a shame that time has not been kind to "Private Benjamin" as whilst it'...

Poltergeist (1982)

114 mins     Horror      

I think I am one of the few who when they watched "Poltergeist" as a child during the 80s wasn't scared by it and to be honest it has never scared me even on numerous viewings since. Well actually that is sort of a lie as clo...

Silkwood (1983)

131 mins     Biography, Drama, Thriller      

Certain movies which on release were seen as powerful loose their impact over time especially to those who watch them for the first time years after their release. I say that to basically qualify my opinion having watched "Si...

All the Right Moves (1983)

91 mins     Drama, Romance, Sport      

Every once in a while I stumble across a question on the internet asking what the best Tom Cruise movie is and most of the answers mention his more recent movies which are dominated by action. But for me the best Cruise movie...

Alex: The Life of a Child (1986)

100 mins     Biography, Drama, TV Movie      

But before we see that part of the story we jump back to the start and the happy Deford family rocked when they are informed that Alex has Cystic Fibrosis and is not given long to live which initially leads Frank to say that ...

Turner & Hooch (1989)

97 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

Back in the 80s Tom Hanks was mainly a comedy actor, he starred in light weight movies which played to his likeable nature and also his great comic timing. "Turner & Hooch" is one of the more memorable of his 80s comedies and...

Devil's Advocate (1997)

138 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

Al Pacino turns on his devilish charm as he seduces young lawyer Keanu Reeves to work for him in "Devil's Advocate"....

The Incredibles (2004)

115 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

Ever since Pixar first wowed us with "Toy Story" back in 1995 I have slowly become more bored by the influx of digital animations. Oh they are well crafted and often amusing but so many work on simple visual humour rather tha...

The Family Stone (2005)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

The Family Stone: Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Meredith who is meeting her boyfriend's parents at a Christmas family get together only to turn out to be unpopular...

Blades of Glory (2007)

89 mins     Comedy      

As someone who is not over fond of Will Ferrell's movies, or at least those where he takes a lead role, I didn't expect to find "Blades of Glory" entertaining but strangely I did. Don't get me wrong because it is daft, stupid...

The Proposal (2009)

103 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"The Proposal" is the sort of romantic comedy which is pleasant enough to watch but then so are many romantic comedies and there is next to nothing which makes you feel like you need to watch it again. Okay so there maybe a c...

The Company Men (2010)

104 mins     Drama      

Many years ago I was a Company Man, I worked for a global corporation employing thousands of people around the planet and then all of a sudden it merged with another company and I found the shadow of redundancy hanging over m...
