Cher: The Film Collection

You probably already know the classics contained in this box set, like Cher’s Oscar-winning work in Moonstruck and Silkwood, but what makes it worth buying even if you already own some of the films, are the inclusion of two rare Cher gems. Good Times, the only movie she made with husband Sonny Bono, is a Beatle-esque romp through Hollywood as the pop pair tries to come up with an idea for their first movie, and it’s a lot of silly fun. The fact that it was directed by William Freidkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist) is amazing. Even better is the film called Chastity, which features a Sonny-less Cher as a hippie hitchhiking free spirit out to discover the world.
