A Christmas Carol (Ultimate Collector's Edition)(B/W & Color)
Alastair Sim, Jack Warner
VCI Entertainment, 2007
True restoration
Because I read several negative reviews of this restoration I purchased the disc with some misgivings. I'm happy to report that my misgivings were not justified. Now, no one is harder to please than me when it comes to DVD image and sound quality. This is the best ...

James Clavell's Shogun
Richard Chamberlain, Yôko Shimada
Paramount, 2003
Mesmerizing story
Shogun is one of the best adaptations of a literary bestseller to the small screen. Superb acting, great scenery and great suspense story.
Too bad that one of the 5 discs is flawed. The picture stalls and there is no way to continue watching unless the skip button is ...

Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh
Patrick McGoohan, George Cole
Walt Disney Video, 2008
Boo Who the Manufacturer!
Thirteen days after the long awaited release of this DVD the manufacturer pulled the plug on its supply. The note on the description says, "his item has been discontinued by the manufacturer!" Talk about a real "Limited Series!" Anyone who was alive to see the original ...

Clint Eastwood Collection: Where Eagles Dare
Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood
Warner Home Video, 2003
"It's called the Castle of the Eagles, because only an eagle can get there."
Clint Eastwood probably mowed down more of Adolf Hitler's German soldiers in Brian G. Hutton's "Where Eagles Dare" than he did western outlaws as either Sergio Leone's Man with No Name in the "Dollars" trilogy or criminals as "Dirty Harry" in his five Warner Brothers ...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers
MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
Richard Lester Classic
I love Richard Lester's style of direction( Hard Day's Night, The Ritz, Three Muskateer's etc). Zero Mostel in a role that rivals his performance in the Producer's will have you rolling on the floor. Phil Silvers is at his best as a wheeler dealer. The Roman Empire ...

Yellowbeard
Graham Chapman, Peter Boyle
MGM (Video & DVD), 2006
A classic parody
A great cast, original writing and a Treasure Island based parody make this movie a classic. Marty Feldman in one of his best.

Lady Jane
Helena Bonham Carter, Cary Elwes
Paramount, 2003
Lady Jane
Lovely story with a fairytale style theme. It was a different look at what could have been in times where love was not the norm for people in the Tudor era.

Khartoum
Charlton Heston, Laurence Olivier
MGM (Video & DVD), 2002
I was at the opening night in Paris when 14 years old!... and who cares by the way...
And you justly would say... so what?
Well in the first place it was a CINERAMA kind of big screen and the fact that I had convinced my grandaunt (sister of my grandmother) to go there was a small colonial campaign itself... after all she married an exiled Russian ...

A&E Home Video, 2006
Oh God what can I say about this...
I love The Wind in the Willows. I love them all. I dont know how to convince you to buy this but I'd start by making the suggestion to buy this one first watch The Wind in The Willows, then A Tale of TWo Toads, purchase series one and two and three if they really have ...

Sink the Bismarck!
Kenneth More, Dana Wynter
20th Century Fox, 2003
Outstanding WWII film
Sink the Bismark is a darn good WWII action film. Although special effects are much better today, it holds up quite well! The characterizations are believable enough to compel us to root for the people. Ironically, the character that most holds the film together is the ...

Wind in the Willows - The Complete First Series

Wonderful for all ages!
Do not think that this is just for little kids- it is for the whole family. We've watched these numerous times on vhs and are now starting on re-watching them on dvd.
My 14 year old cynical son (who is into such things as Call of Duty 2 and Battle for Middle Earth ...
