jrthomas-78828 Love this movie! Cannot believe I reached 34 years without seeing it! Patrick Stewart was phenomenal!

Arreis Nitsuga Ricky's interview with Merv Griffin on Youtube led me to this little gem of heartwarming film...and that makes his role in Little Lord Fauntleroy real.This movie is sooo old that my friend laughed at me for watching it. I introduce it to my other friend the same way (the interview from Youtube then the film) and she believed his role to be real. This is the type of movie that I will add in my all-time favorite list (or old-time favorite maybe?? :D) because it makes you feel good. Ceddie (Ricky Schroder) is so innocent that he assume his grandpa to be lovely and kindhearted even before meeting the Earl of Dorincourt. The truth is the earl is a strict person. And because of that, he changes everything - instead of learning on how to be an earl, he teach his grandpa on how to be a responsible earl. Along the process, Ceddie wins the heart of his grumpy grandpa and the villagers in his most adorable way. Everybody must watch this and I assure you, you will melt and left with a very good feeling. You'll be jiggered on how this film touches you and I promise, it won't let you down. "Not by a long shot!"

marty-237-386976 This is one of may favorite movies. Not only is is extremely well written and acted, it is also quite lovely visually. There are some beautiful scenes depicting the English country side as well as some vision of the less fortunate majority who are not part of the aristocracy. The gradual way in which the adorable little lord wins the heart of the grumpy old Earl (played to perfection by one of the greatest actors of all time in Sir Alex Guiness), is superb and their blossoming relationship is definitely the highlight of the film. Connie Booth (from Fawlty Towers fame) is also excellent as Ceddie's kind and loving mother who always puts the well being of her son and the less fortunate tenants before her own. Star Trek fans will be surprised to see Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) in one of his earliest roles ... by the way he is still bald which makes me wonder if he ever had hair! A wonderful movie, anyone who doesn't enjoy it simply doesn't have a heart beating in their chest!

Atreyu_II This film is essentially a remake of a 1936 film with the same title. I don't wanna spoil the familiar plot because I don't wanna write the same thing twice. I already wrote some of it in my review for the 1936 film and this version is based on the much older's plot, although not without its notorious differences - starting with the fact that this version is colored.Generally speaking, this version is solid too. Some little things could be better of course, but overall this is a great movie. And the musical selection is very fine too! Ricky Schroder is very good as Ceddie but still not quite in the same league as Freddie Bartholomew. I enjoy Alec Guinness's acting as the Earl of Dorincourt, but I think that C. Aubrey Smith is more authentic. Connie Booth is good, almost as much as Dolores Costello. Rolf Saxon is alright as Dick Tripton, however he isn't even funny (no comparison with Mickey Rooney!).In conclusion, it's more than just a remake. After all, this isn't an American remake, but a British remake. It's also beautifully filmed and photographed (there are some really beautiful landscapes and scenarios). Actually a quite decent alternative to the polished 1936 version. Both versions are very watchable and very good, although one is more complete in some aspects and the other one is more complete in some other aspects.This should definitely be on Top 250.
