Six Days, Seven Nights Reviews

• Funny and entertaining

  
  By A2TXAE30THSJSQ on 2004-07-20
  I saw this on cable many moons ago and laughed my butt off! I went out and bought it the next day. I still watch this movie and enjoy it even though I know the plot. Favorite bit: Harrison Ford strangling the bush! Clever dialogue, sharp performances and an all around fun adventure! Check out the soon to be Jango Fett as the leader of the pirates! The only liability is the always annoying David Schwimmer, but he does a good job in this one (and isn't in it as much as the leads, thank God)Anyway rent it buy it or whatever, I did.
  
  

• AN ACTION/COMEDY?

  
  By A319SKSB556033 on 2000-08-04
  In a word...no. I'd call it more of a romantic comedy but the trailer did hint at more action than eventually appeared onscreen. There is a small clip of Harrison Ford pulling one of the pirates over a waterfall and he falls to his death (?). the running time of 101 minutes and the very abrupt resolution give the impression that there was more action before someone ordered it to be cut out.

  I think this may have been because the producers wanted a quirky comedy-adventure when the film turned out to be a little bit tougher. This is so apparent when pirates (the driving force of the movie) are in it for about 15 minutes.

  What's left is just an okay movie. It is neither original nor clever and has no spark or bite. But it does have a few decent laughs, some cool music and nice scenery. David Schwimmer's character is totally wasted and is a carbon copy of Ross from Friends.

  Six Days, Seven Nights is hardly groundbreaking but is an enjoyable timepasser. Catch it if you can.

  The DVD is Dolby 5.1 and is letterboxed at 2.35:1.
  
  

• This movie is great! I'm serious!

  
  By A21VNB9XGT1KQD on 2004-08-31
  Wow, I didn't think I'd like this movie...
  
  I did! It was really entertaining, the acting was great, can't really go wrong with Harrison Ford.
  
  What surprised me was the great chemistry between Heche and Ford, it works really well.
  
  I was fully entertained from minute one. I recommend this film highly.
  
  

• "Six Days, Seven Nights" Is Creative, Lively, and Inspiring

  
  By on 1998-07-23
  Take it from an avid music listener and singer, this CD has the right stuff. Not only does it have lively and catchy music to inspire the fire within us (such as "Pink Kawala" and "Macatea"), but the calming music of "Into The Mist" and "Robin" will be sure to tame the heartiest of pirates... "pirates... as in argh?!" The spirit, humor, and action of the "Six Days, Seven Nights" motion picture is truly captured on this CD. So, if you're in the mood for some great tropical beats, I recommend buying this CD today.
  
  

• Excellent!!! Takes me back to Maketea!!

  
  By on 1999-10-31
  As an island refugee temporarily assigned to mid-America, this CD takes me back to Maketea. The movie warmed my soul and the CD gives me the same feeling - especially "The Calypsonians". If you enjoyed the movie, you'll love the CD.
  
  
• Cute romantic comedy yarn. Chicken soup for a rainy day.
  By on 2000-02-19
  This movie is not meant to be taken seriously. View it with your brain switched off on a Friday night or on a dreary day. It has a mish-mash of elements: adventure, romance, comedy, pirates, waterfall, you get the picture. What's missing is a plausible chemistry between Ford and Heche. Its labored, but what do you expect from such a disparity in their ages!

  The digital transfer is excellent and the DVD brings out the vibrant colors of the South Sea islands.
  
  

• Can't Believe It ... I love This movie
  By on 2004-02-10
  I was very sceptical about Anne Heche as an actress in a romantic comedy role but, her quick feisty wit is the perfect foil to Ford's more deadpan humor. This movie is so much fun that my wife and I now watch it at least 3-4 times year. The south seas setting feels mighty good too on a MN winter movie night.

  If you enjoyed movies like; Romancing The Stone, Crocodile Dundee, Hopscotch, and The Electric Horseman then you'll love this movie too.
  
  

• This movie was light, funny & a relaxing pleasure to watch.
  By A2U4EKW3YSGUX4 on 1999-04-12
  I have read the bad reviews here and I must say that I think that some people are taking this too seriously. This is a light and relaxing film about two widely different people who find themselves and each other stranded on a breathtakingly beautiful island and during their stay they learn to love what's different about each other. Ford and Heche have a wonderful chemistry between them. This film is fun, makes you feel like you're among friends and will leave you with a smile on your face. This can even be looked at as a light character examination, but before I get all full of myself let me say that I loved this film, I watch it often and if I ever had to move somewhere, this DVD would be one that would go with me.
  
  
• Great music - if you liked the movie, you'll love the CD!
  By on 1999-03-19
  If I shut my eyes and listen to this CD I can almost imagine I am on the island of Maketea! Really tropical-sounding and vacation-type music. Love it! (Would be better if Harrison Ford came with the CD, though.)
  
  
• A pleasant surprise
  By A1JZF1KEDQ3YPQ on 2000-08-18
  Does anyone remember the days when it seemed that every Harrison Film was a screen classic? The days of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Witness, Bladerunner, and American Graffiti, seem long behind us. He is still the consummate action hero, and his portrayals are always watchable (a la Sean Connery who seems to elevate any film he's in above what it otherwise would be). But in the past few years, Ford's films have been, on the whole, disappointingly average. That is why Six Days, Seven Nights is such a nice surprise. It is a romantic comedy which seamlessly blends action, humour (Ford is very funny in his portrayal of Quinn), and romance (yes, despite Anne Heche's well-publicized real life sexual orientation, there is a real chemistry between the two). Throw in some beautiful locales and a subplot involving the two's significant others, and what you've got is a nice rainy Sunday afternoon film, reminiscent of the old black and white Cary Grant / Katherine Hepburn comedies. It's not Indiana Jones, unfortunately, but thank goodness it's not Random Hearts either. The DVD itself contains no extras whatsoever. What would we learn from an audio commentary anyway, other than that Anne Heche is a lesbian and Harrison Ford used to be a carpenter?
  
  
• Uninspired romantic movie
  By A152C8GYY25HAH on 2002-03-29
  Traditionally, a romantic story, or one that sweeps the audience away with Hollywood emotions, appears in the summer and is a boxoffice smash. Critics often give it their grudging approval. In the 1990s we have had Sleepless in Seattle, While You Were Sleeping, and My Best Friend's Wedding. Hope Floats and Six Days, Seven Nights were 1998's contenders. Both were reviewed poorly. They did okay at the ticket boxes, but comments I heard implied that they did so almost by default.

  Six Days, Seven Nights was the heavyweight entry. Harrison Ford returned to a romantic lead. Anne Heche got a chance to prove she could be a femme fatale. Ivan Reitman had directed many hits. Corporate giant Walt Disney was behind the project. The setting, a tropical paradise, seemed fool proof.

  Perhaps all the powerful players got complacent. A key element called a script seems to have been overlooked.

  There's a story line that tries to pass for a plot. I have a theory that people who like movies don't often go in with the attitude that that they won't enjoy the show. In fact, we want to be swept away and to be entertained. Unfortunately, we sometimes see holes too large ignore. These diminish our pleasure greatly. We may not be able to verbalize the experience, but we don't recommend the movie to our acquaintances. The best we can say - glumly - is that it was all right.

  Anne Heche plays a New York stereotype. She has a top management job on a woman's magazine. We never know exactly what it is she does there, just that she looks and acts successful. Her boyfriend is played by David Schwimmer, whose character is no better defined than hers. If she is a stereotype, he is a cartoon. He is the male of the species portrayed as barely domesticated. Left alone with any woman under sixty, he sees the situation only in a sexual way. That's just the way all guys are, we are told.

  Off they go to paradise. After arriving in Tahiti, they find that their scheduled chartered flight has been canceled. They are expected to fly in a leaky, broken down four seat plane, piloted by Harrison Ford's character. The implication is that air safety stops at America's borders. Ford brings along a beautiful native girl, who he says is the flight attendant. She isn't. He's just a guy, remember.

  They arrive at their destination. Reggae music plays until someone remembers that this is the South Pacific, not the Caribbean. Soon Heche's boss says she must go back to Tahiti on business. This gives the movie an excuse to maroon Heche and Ford on a deserted island. Only in the movies could an island so large, so lush and so close to Tahiti be uninhabited. If it looks like part of the Hawaiian Islands, it's because the movie was filmed there.

  This part is where the movie could have soared, but Heche's brittle, worldly character gives in far to soon to Ford's laid back, peaceful guy. There turns out not to be much to tame in this woman. Perhaps the film makers were trying to be politically correct, but in the old romantic comedies, the girl tamed the guy as often as he corralled her. They have an affair, while her boyfriend and his island girl do the same back at the resort. This, too, could have been clever and funny, but it's wasted here.

  Randy Edelman contributes one of the best film scores of 1998. He must have been inspired by what the movie should have been, not by what it is.
  
  

• Appalling load of old rubbish
  By A2GHTSBU7IHIBO on 2000-05-20
  I have been a fan of Harrison Ford since Star Wars in 1977 or whenever it was. I've seen maybe fifteen of his films, and loved them all until now. So I have to ask the question: Is it possible that there could be a worse Harrison Ford movie than this? I'd really have to see it to believe it. This is an utterly appalling load of old rubbish. Ford himself seems to be acting sarcastically as though he's squirming in his boots to have to go through with it. I can't think of a single thing to recommend it, unless it's to study how films should not be made. It's particularly difficult to accept since Harrison Ford is the selling point and he's one of cinema's most reliable actors. You can almost never go wrong. This time however, things didn't go wrongly enough. By the time the aircraft was crash-landing in the storm, I for one was willing it to go down nose first at a couple of hundred miles an hour and let the rest of us get on with other things. Simply awful production.
  
  
• Edelman gives his six days and seven nights of fame.
  By AK6MY2AQUMLTR on 2002-10-08
  Randy Edelman continues to impress me scoring hit after hit and this one is a perfect example of that. Edelman goes hawaiian with this score (due to the setting of the film) and throws in an impressive orchestral sound to accompany it. The theme first appears in "Into the Mist" and has that trademark Edelman sound with soaring strings and cymbal crashes that put the icing on the cake. The theme itself is the love theme of the film and is pretty. It occurs a lot throughout the score in various places, but is not overused. The other motif is a hawaiian dance tune, complete with guitars, synthesizers, orchestra, and lots of percussion. It makes you want to get up and dance like an idiot (I wouldn't try it). This thematic material occurs most noticeably in "Maketea", "Pink Kawala", "Fixing the Old Beaver", and the odd sounding "Lunching with Peacocks", which I read somewhere sounds like "Lunching with Alka-Seltzer" (listen to the beginning of the track to see what I mean). The other tracks to point out are "Crashdance" and "Pirates" which has the same percussion work as "The Race" in "The Skulls" soundtrack also composed by Edelman. Tailing off the soundtrack is a song by Taj Mahal which is one of the dumbest songs i've ever heard. Your best bet is to stop after track 20 and skip track 21, unless off-beat music with lyrics that you cannot understand are your thing. All in all, a fine work and a job well done by Edelman, who is one of my favorite composers today.
  
  
• Six Days Seven Nights, Wish It Woulda Gone On Longer
  By A39QB5RBY1QQ3H on 2002-12-20
  Okay, I admit, I was skeptical before seeing this movie. Harrison Ford has ceased to be a turn on for me since his "Sabrina" days, as I'm not really attracted to men over the age of 50 or so. And I was not familiar with Anne Heche's film work and didn't know what to expect from her in terms of acting ability. I thought, okay, Ford is archaic and Heche is, well, a lesbo, so how on earth could they have chemistry? They proved me dead wrong. "Six Days Seven Nights" (get the quirk in the title?) was an enjoyable gem. Ford played the romantic lead better here than he did in "Sabrina" almost a decade ago, and Heche totally blew me away. Her comedic timing and delivery were impeccable, and in my opinion, it was her performance that made the film work. What I liked the most were the interesting character and gender-issue developments that you rarely see in romantic comedy adventure flicks these days. The characters that Ford and Heche play, Robin and Quinn, respectively, develop a relationship that is tried and true. They start off very much "of this world," (Robin is a tough New York executive who depends on her cell phone like it's her oxygen tube and the shallow Quinn hits on women and drinks too much), but after crashing on a deserted island with no immediate way to escape, their distinct man/woman instincts take over. This was a pleasure to watch. Major highlight: When Heche's Robin says to Ford's Quinn, "I need you to be my confident captain," and he responds in the affirmative. He steps up to the plate and becomes "da man," and she shows her feminine, vulnerable side. It was a beautiful moment in the movie. It's tough to initially believe that the adorable Robin would fall for old, weathered Quinn. But after he saves her life again and again, we begin to understand. Women, basically, want to know that when the stuff hits the fan, the physically stronger of the sexes is going to be there to deliver. Right, ladies? This movie embraces this concept, rather than denying its existence. At the film's end, we can see why Robin decides she'd be better off with Quinn than with her ex-fiance, played by David Schwimmer. The character of Robin is no dummy: She wants to be with someone who will pick up his mat and walk. The only problem I personally had with the movie was that it left me wishing for more bantering/falling in love between the two lead characters. Oh, and I also was left with a strong desire to know where the film's costume designers got that little black dress Heche wore at the end of the film, so I could go pick one up for myself. All in all, an enjoyable film. I gave it 4 stars out of 5, because I don't think a movie necessarily has to be Oscar-caliber to do its job of entertaining.
  
  
• Great Movie, Great Fun "Funny and Fabulous!"
  By A289OJD6CV9HPM on 2002-12-27
  Starring Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) and Anne Heche in Six Days Seven Nights, WILL entertain you moviegoers very much. This movie is Action, Comedy, and Drama in one. (other star(s) worth mentioning are David Schwimmer (Ross Gellar in the T.V. Series Friends)

  First, these two incompatible people, Quinn(Ford) and Robin(Heche) gets (like) shipwrecked on an island. They continously argue with each other but also try to survive on the island.
  This movie shows great stuff that you probably would not find in another "survival on an island" movie which I will not spoil here.

  As for the Acting, it is FANTASTIC. Ford and Heche really brought their character personalities to a MAX on this one.
  You will laugh, you will cry, you will smile, and your heart will race. This movie will entertain all!

  The music is "great!" and blends seamlessly into the movie!

  I recommend this Movie to all island survival fans, movie lovers, to couples, to yourself, and to families and friends "alike".
  
  

• When Harry Met Anne
  By on 2003-05-10
  I like a Romantic Comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. That is one of the reasons I enjoy viewing "Six Days And Seven Nights," with Harrison Ford and Anne Heche. Besides these two actors being amoung my very favourites, I was totally caught up in the old-fashioned approach used in the making of this captivating film. The dialogue was hilarious, enhanced by the skills of all involved. Each person contibuted to the success of "Six Days and Seven Nights," and by success I mean the ability to make a movie that causes intense laughter every time you see it, even if you view it in succession. The only thing I would wish for would be to have had it been a longer film. Stereotypes not withstanding, it is always a joy to behold When Harry Met Anne, Et Al.
  
  
• Action adventure and romantic comedy
  By A24AQGZYM7B8Y2 on 2003-11-13
  When abrasive New Yorker Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) and her boyfriend Frank (David Schwimmer), head out to an idyllic Polynesian island for some R&R, all is well until Robin's boss in New York calls her and begs Robin to fly to neighboring Tahiti to take on an urgent assignment. Reluctantly, Robin agrees and approaches the local island-hopping pilot, Quinn (Harrison Ford). Quinn agrees to fly Robin to Tahiti, but during the flight, they are beset by a thunderstorm and forced to crash-land on a deserted island. Shipwrecked, two completely opposite personalities clash and come together in a series of highly entertaining and enjoyable adventures, including basic survival, a run-in with off-shore murderous pirates, and overcoming the odds to set about escaping from the island. The scenery is gorgeous, offset by a great soundtrack, and Ford is at his comedic best playing a tipsy, laid-back playboy whose South Pacific laisse-faire is a perfect foil for Heche's highly strung city-girl character.

  Ford and Heche do wonders with the standard stuck-on-a-desert-island plot, and instead of being mundane it shines with real humor and unexpected twists and turns. Both actors display a true affinity for hilarious one-liners and unsuspected tender moments. A delightful movie. Highly recommended.
  
  

• More of Anne Heche, please...
  By A3KB1H0S7T6JX1 on 2006-06-23
  Six Days Seven Nights, brings to the screen the story of an unlikely pair that gets stranded on a South Pacific isle, "Lost-style."
  Harrison Ford, Anne Heche and Jacqueline Obradors (both of whom are GORGEOUS!), David Schwimmer (who is in his familiar "Ross" role), and the rest of the cast, carry out their performances very well, though the plot could have been a lot better.
  The major setbacks were in relation to their unrealistic encounters with the pirates and the unrealistic way and ease by which they fixed up their plane, took off, and then landed again. It was a bit much...
  Overall, the setting, the acting, and the music are very good, while the plot, the humor, and the dialogues could have been better.
  Though by far not a masterpiece, Six Days Seven Nights is a movie worth watching, as it will provide for an evening's entertainment. 3 1/2 Stars

• Old man falls for young chick
  By on 2000-04-23
  Second rate movie with a third rate plot. Ford is beginning to show his age. To make matters worse -- Heche's character is totally uninteresting; a real airhead. Now why would a middle-aged man, who supposedly is wordly, go for a young woman, who between the ears is nothing more than a wind tunnel? How much more entertaining and intriquing this movie could have been if the woman's part was played by someone closer to Ford's age and sophistication! It would have given Ford's character a run for his money, and we would really see the sparks fly. (Ah yes, but this is Hollywood -- no guts, and always choose the easy way out). The pirates were a bit much. Could have been a good flick, but got wasted away -- as usual.
  
  
• Not Worth Using a Free Rental Coupon
  By A3KCXUZNQDZHXV on 2000-05-03
  . . . The acting is poor and Heche is really struggling withher role. The only good part of the movie was the scenery and I hadthe feeling that Ford just did this movie for something to do andHeche was trying to make a last ditch effort to salvage a poor acting career. If you're a "Soup of the Soul" fan or liked "Tin Cup", this movie might be for you.
  
  
• A FOUR STAR AVERAGE RATING!?!?!
  By on 1999-06-10
  PEOPLE! Get a grip! There are only five stars! This was an okay flick, not a bad time waster, but is it really 80% of the movie that, say, Taxi Driver or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest are? Does anybody trouble him (her) self to think before entering the star rating? Amazon should make 1 star the default and have people work up from there. Like 6 people think this is 100% of what a movie should be! The mind boggles. Too many kids online maybe.
  
  
• Another outstanding HF movie
  By A3CH6MCNES12V1 on 1999-06-27
  What a great movie! Of course, my husband and I think HF is the greatest thing since sliced bread (an old joke for you youngsters), but we watch one of his movies each night, and this is one of our favorites. We couldn't wait for it to become available to buy (we got tired of renting it). The chemistry between those two really made this a great movie. This is another example of the gift Harrison Ford has of being able to play any part in any movie! He can be funny, serious, tough, loving, you name it. There are very few actors around today that can do that. What a MAN!

  By A3R6I043Z643SD on 2001-03-29
  After the movie at the theater, I had to get the VHS. Now that I have a DVD, I had to get the disc, and finally, not least the audio CD. It's just plain grand litening to these tunes while working, driving, falling to sleep, whatever ! I even recorded the film soundtrack on audio cassette, makes also great entertainment while working...
  
  
• One hour, forty-two minutes
  By A37FUJC2L7DSPT on 2001-05-29
  The poster for SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS made me think it's an action picture, with Harrison Ford and Anne Heche in the wilderness, looking scared. When I read the video package, I learned it is a comedy-adventure.

  If it shows up on cable TV or if you can borrow a copy, SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS nicely kills a couple of hours. Lead actor Ford is in top form, playing the tough/funny guy he played so well in the INDIANA JONES movies.

  Lead actress Anne Heche, playing a combination of Lucille Ball, Liza Minelli and Shelly Long, holds her own alongside the great Ford. Someday, perhaps she will blossom even more elsewhere.

  SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS director Ivan Reitman seems to specialize in comedy-adventures, having made GHOSTBUSTERS, TWINS and STRIPES. In SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS, Ford and Heche are stranded on a small island, fighting starvation, pirates and their attraction to each other.

  Sometimes you can tell when a film is written by a man. In SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS, we have yet another 50-plus leading man hooking up with an under-30 woman. At least Heche, while attractive, is no knockout, so that gives it a little credibility. So does the fact that Ford is in better shape than a lot of men thirty years his junior.

  Before he has even gotten to know Anne Heche in SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS, Harrison Ford makes a couple of remarks about her anatomy that, in real life, would have turned off any woman no matter how much she had liked him. But this is the movies (movies written by men), so instead Heche wonders if she looks good enough. Sigh.

  Most ridiculous: at one point in the film Ford and Heche are hiding from pirates, yet they light a fire. Sigh.

  But between the man's world mentality and movie cliches, SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS delivers enough fun for one hour, forty-two minutes.
  
  

• South Seas soap opera tries hard, but...
  By ARFBRSE35ZJ6A on 2001-05-26
  I saw this movie for the first time on the USA channel, and I missed the beginning of it, but the last half seemed interesting enough, so I bought this DVD, to see the uncut version of the movie. I must say I felt rather disappointed by this limp and tepid PG-13 presentation.

  Harrison Ford is getting a bit long in the tooth to play these romantic leading man roles, but he’s still fun to watch, anyway. Here he’s a South Seas beachcomber/bush pilot, who hires out to fly tourists from island to island in a decrepit plane (a deHaviland Beaver, which ceased production in 1967) that’s almost as old as he is. Fashion magazine editor Anne Heche hires him to fly her to a magazine shoot on another island, interrupting her vacation with her fiancee, and bad weather causes them to crash-land on the beach of a deserted island.

  How the 56 year old Ford and the 29 year old Heche survive and eventually fall in love is the crux of the story. There are some amusing moments in this Robinson Crusoe-girl Friday adventure, such as a small aquatic creature swimming into Heche’s underwear while she’s standing waist-deep in a waterfall-fed lake, and Ford, to the rescue, has to feel around for it, as she tells him, “I better not catch you smiling!” And later, when she demands her money back, because he didn’t get her to her destination, he only gives her half of it, saying, “I figure I got you halfway!”

  Still, the chemistry between Ford and Heche isn’t really there, and the entire sequence with the band of pirates is totally out of place and unbelievable. It should have been deleted and some ... scenes of Heche and the delightful Jacqueline Obradors added to spice up this tropical soap-opera. And this DVD should have been spiced up with some decent bonus features, too! All you get here are the standard features: the movie trailer and a scene index. Not much for the money! (If I asked for my money back, would they only give me half of it, saying “We figure we gave you half what you expected!”)?
  
  

• Finally, H. Ford with character
  By A1QA8CFOV2I62J on 2001-08-23
  This is one of my favorite movies. Ford is funny and does an excellent job portraying a carefree drunk, who also happens to be a top notch pilot. I love characters who are low key about being very good at something.

  I am always disappointed in Ford's wooden faced portrayals in just about all his other movies. In this one he has character. What happened? Did somebody let him act? Be himself? Heche is also great fun in this movie, and I love best the fact that her role is allowed and expected to pull her own weight in the story. I hate helpless females, and, through a combination of writing and, in large part, I suspect, her acting, her character is fun and admirable. I saw Heche again recently on TV. She really is a delight to watch. I'd love to see a sequel to this movie. Make that a "good" sequel....
  
  

• Very pleasant, but no "party" tunes here...
  By A6VXZ1EEPRTLV on 2001-12-20
  There is apparently some confusion regarding the type of music contained in this recording. This is not a "Jimmy Buffett" style, have a good time, party album. Most of the twenty instrumental tracks, are straight orchestral pieces. Perhaps seven of the tracks have what I would call a "tropical" influence, characterized by a "jungle" or "island" drumbeat with the melody played above by various instruments. Except for the too short, "Pink Kawala" there are no dance tunes here.

  What makes this collection interesting is of course the "tropical" influence, the mixing of different instruments and rhythms, with the traditional orchestral sound. The results are mostly positive. It would have been nice if there a few more upbeat "parrothead" party type tunes, but that was not what composer Randy Edelman had in mind. Choosing to go with an orchestral approach, with some modern touches. It seems that synthesized sounds are used a good deal in the rhythm tracks, which kind of gives the music a "robotic" groove at times. There are instances where the music sounds just a bit too clean and "unnatural".

  There are no strong repetitive musical themes, and the overall package is a pretty good combination of styles. Tracks like "Crashdance", "Fixing The Old Beaver", Subways and Skyscrapers", "Maketea", "Pirates" and "A Ray of Hope" are among the best to be found here. Nothing really outstanding, just a pleasant change of pace. Like a vacation!
