Chinatown (Special Collector's Edition)

Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway

Paramount Home Video, 2007

One of the greatest films of all time, and one of Nicholson's best too
This is a film you absolutely need to see at least twice. The first time through you'll be gasping for air, trying to keep up with the twists and turns in the plot. The second time through, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Those willing to view it again and ...

Oliver Twist (2005)

Timothy Burrill, Ben Kingsley

Sony Pictures, 2006

Trim "Twist" ala Polish Polanski , an absolute eye catcher
I love my Dickens trimmed down by Oscar winning screenplay writer Ronald Harwood (The Dresser,The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and The Pianist),imbued with the genuine empathy of Oscar winning director Roman Polanski (The Pianist,Rosemary's Babyand Chinatown (Special ...

Rush Hour 3 (Widescreen and Full-Screen)

Julie Depardieu, Hiroyuki Sanada

NEW LINE HOME VIDEO, 2007

FUNNY!
I love this movie. It is the best Rush Hour movie made. It is so funny. My husband and I could not wait for it to be released on DVD. The ending is suprising also. You could find it cheaper somewhere else, but worth it.

Repulsion

Catherine Deneuve, Helen Fraser

ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMS INC., 2005

A masterpiece!
I've seen "Repulsion" quite a few times over the years, and it never gets any less absorbing to watch in spite of knowing the outcome. Catherine Denueve is incandescently beautiful in it but this all masks her real persona which I guess is shown in the early ...

Rush Hour 3 (Two-Disc Platinum Series)

Julie Depardieu, Sun Ming Ming

NEW LINE HOME VIDEO, 2007

FUNNY!

The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me but Your Teeth Are in My Neck

Roman Polanski, Jack MacGowran

Warner Home Video, 2004

Great!
This product arrived very quickly to the location that I had it shipped to! This was a gift to my dad and he was really excited to get it because you can't find this movie anywhere! Thank you Amazon for always having what I need available!

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls

Michael Phillips, Mike Medavoy

Shout Factory Theatr, 2004

How the Sex, Drugs & Rock n' Roll Generation nearly killed Hollywood...
As a glorification, and explanation, of the wonderful 70's Hollywood industry, it's a great little documentary. Plenty of clips from films, interviews with major players, and a decent time line of the indies that left some indelible cultural marks on the country. ...

Blood for Dracula

Joe Dallesandro, Udo Kier

Image Entertainment, 2005

Campy, Melodramatic and Completely Likeable!
I have absolutely fallen in love with this movie!! But I suspect that it's going to be one of those films that people either love or hate. Udo Kier plays a Count Dracula, so corpse-pale and grey-haired that he has to apply makeup and dye his hair to appear human. ...

Rush Hour 3 [Blu-ray]

Youki Kudoh, Yvan Attal

New Line, 2007

FUNNY!
I love this movie. It is the best Rush Hour movie made. It is so funny. My husband and I could not wait for it to be released on DVD. The ending is suprising also. You could find it cheaper somewhere else, but worth it.

The Magic Christian

Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr

Republic Pictures, 2003

No, no....I only want the nose.
McGrath's film adaptation differs considerably Southern's novel. Relocated to London in the 1960s, it introduces an orphan whom Sir Guy Grand picks up in a park and on a whim, decides to adopt. The role was written with Ringo Starr (who plays it) in mind. The Magic ...

Andrzej Wajda Collector's Edition
Roman Polanski, Janusz Gajos

Vanguard Cinema, 2004

Andrzej Wajda is one of the giants of film history and Poland?s foremost director. With a keen eye for balance between intellect and emotions and always provocative, Wajda has been a barometer of Poland?s political and economic trajectory for the last 50 years and one of the greatest storytellers depicting human fate in the midst of the cold ...

A Pure Formality

Gérard Depardieu, Roman Polanski

Columbia/Tri-Star, 1996

Excellent movie with a delicious twist
This is an excellent thriller with outstanding performances from both Polanski and Depardieu. The song at the end still comes to my mind from time to time, which is why I got reminded to review this film. For some people it will appear slow and the viewer will for ...

Back in the U.S.S.R. [Region 2]

Frank Whaley, Natalya Negoda

Back In The USSR
Okay, It isn't a box office Hit! That said, It is an enjoyable film if you want to be entertained. It is a thriller with some quirky comedy and some fantastic views of Moscow and its environs. You go with the main character as he tries to figure out what is happening. ...

Lotna

Jerzy Pichelski, Adam Pawlikowski

Polart, 2006

LOTNA '73
Andrzej Wajda is mostly known for his war trilogy (A Generation, Kanal, Ashes and Diamonds) shot in the 50's and his movies of the 70's and 80's than for the films he directed in the sixties. So I decided to buy the VHS version of LOTNA available here at Amazon to ...

Zemsta

Roman Polanski, Janusz Gajos

Vanguard Cinema, 2003

A Delightful Farce By An Inspired Master
Even after fifty odd years of mostly first-class film making, Andrzej Wajda doesn't cede to surprise and enchant. Lately he has given a nice turn to classical Polish Lit of the 18. and 19. centuries...After a costumed period-piece based on the main Polish epic, "Pan ...
