Mr. Holland's Opus is a great movie. I have watched it several times and I will keep watching it. It has so much meaning and caring and Richard Dreyfuss did a great job.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (The Friendship Edition)

Sebastian Cabot, Junius Matthews

Walt Disney Video, 2007

The Great, Incomparable Winnie the Pooh
I grew up watching the original Disney cartoons, and this DVD brings back wonderful, vivid memories. Based on the classic book by A. A. Milne, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh delightfully brings to life Christopher Robin, The Hundred Acre Wood, Winnie the ...

Short Circuit [Blu-ray]

Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg

Image Entertainment, 2008

Blu Ray Review - Not Bad!!!
Great movie for the family. Would have been nicer not to have a few "colorful" words in it but overall a good family flik. But most folks already knew that. What I'm quite impressed about is the BluRay transfer. Not bad at all! For a movie of this age the picture ...

Halloween II

Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence

Universal Studios, 2001

The Nightmare has just begun...
I love HALLOWEEN II! I love how it takes place right after the original ended! Michael has been shot six times by Dr. Loomis, but he gets up and walks away! Loomis continues his hunt and Laurie Strode is taken to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. Michael stalks the ...

Gandhi (Widescreen Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Ben Kingsley, Candice Bergen

Sony Pictures, 2007

Gandhi (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
I purchased this title for our social justice learning group to view. It was every bit as good as I remembered it from the big screen. What I can't believe is that it has been more than 25 years since its release. No doubt this film was the apex of Ben Kingsley's ...

The Philadelphia Story

Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn

Warner Home Video, 2000

The course of true love... ...gathers no moss.
Perhaps not my favorite classic, but The Philadelphia Story is a great adaptation of the play with some of the greatest actors of their day. Now I am only twenty so this was out far before my years, but it certainly kept my attention and will sit high in my list of ...

My Three Sons: The First Season, Vol. 1

Fred MacMurray, William Demarest

Paramount, 2008

My Three Sons, First Season, Vol. 1
If you buy this, you are showing the producers of these dvds that you will buy anything. This is nothing like the shows. The music is not there, the episodes are chopped up, it is NOT what you think you are getting when you are laying down your money. If enough people ...

Twilight

Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon

Paramount, 1998

Old pros doing what they do best
"Twilight" is an underrated gem, a modern classic that too few people have heard of and fewer seem to have seen. I usually get blank stares when I recommend it, but hear the movie's praises once people have watched it. If you're a fan of film noir, private eyes, ...

1776 (Restored Director's Cut)

William Daniels, Howard Da Silva

Sony Pictures, 2002

36 years later it all comes together!
I saw this film multiple times in the movies at 4 years of age with my parents and listened to the record also. Twenty years later when purchasing the VHS, I noted that "Cool Considerate Men" wasn't there even though I remembered the song from the record. My father ...

The Jungle Book (40th Anniversary Platinum Edition)

Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot

Walt Disney Video, 2007

As cute as I remember
Better than I remember. The DVD quality is great and my son loves the movie.

To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar

Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze

Universal Studios, 2003

To Wong Fu Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar
I have treasured this movie for years. I own the vhs version, but rarely want to take the time and trouble ( all that rewinding) to get it out. With the new and used option at Amazon it is very simple to find your favorites at great prices with just a few clicks of a ...

The Thorn Birds

Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward

Warner Home Video, 2004

Great movie
I got this movie, Beautiful movie, My daughter got out of work around 5pm I asked her to look at some of the movie with me around 10pm I went to sleep, Around 3 PM I heard my daughter who is 22 yrs old crying and crying I thought something happen bad to her. I run into ...

Father Goose

Cary Grant, Leslie Caron

Republic Pictures, 2001

Father Goose ~ classic movie !
Light-hearted, yet philosophical and with a spark of "danger" thrown in at just the right times. Brilliant role by Cary Grant, with his classic expressions, and subtle moves. Just a great sit-back-and-enjoy movie.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A subtle, classy, intellectual film
Huh-huh. Not. This movie rode the horror short bus. So awesomely retarded. So stupidly brilliant. The coolest of the cool. The dumbest of the dumb. The cultiest of the cult. One of the most entertaining movies EVER freakin' made. That is no joke. I know ...

Moonstruck (Deluxe Edition)

Cher, Nicolas Cage

MGM (Video & DVD), 2006

Classic film stands up 21 years later
I have always loved this film. This has not changed in the years since it was released. I have a question for the film makers. Why did it take until 2006 until this wide screen edition of the film was available? New York City is a character in the film. ...
