Matthew Modine

Full Metal Jacket Diary
$29.95
Modine showed up on the set of Stanley Kubrick's 1987 Vietnam War masterpiece "Full Metal Jacket", in which he starred as Private Joker, armed with his weapon and his gun and his Rollei.

Not only does Modine prove himself to be quite a talented photographer, but his behind-the-scenes account of the making of the motion picture is a wonderfully revealing look inside the movie making process that few people see.

If you've ever been curious about how movies are made, or are curious about what it was like to work with Stanley Kubrick, Matthew's book lifts the curtains and let's you inside.

Memphis Belle (Snap Case)
$14.97
I remember when this movie first came out, the critics panned it for having "unrealistic" scenes of crew interaction while the Memphis Belle was on its last mission. As a former aircraft commander of a bomber crew, I can tell you that the crew interaction and banter between the crew members is the most realistic part of the movie! I highly recommend this movie not only as an example of what our young men sacrificed for our country at that time, but also a terrific story - even though it is not the real story of the Belle's last mission.

Vision Quest
$9.98
This was a gift for my brother who turned 59. It was his favorite movie and as I knew he loved the gift. Also the sound track was an added bonus. As always Amazon is the only way to find great gifts. Reliable and fast shipping.

Birdy
$14.94
It is a great movie, just a little slow at the beginning. The book of course is a lot better thought.
