My all time favorite movies...
I fell in love with The Thin Man totally on accident. My dad happened to catch it on PBS one afternoon, and about half-way through, it caught my attention. When it was all done, I knew I had to see it from the start. I have now watched it many, many times (since I ...

Looney Tunes

Warner Home Entertainment, 2004

Looney Tunes, Golden collection volume ll
This brings me back to a time when cartoones were a Saturday morning tradition. A time when parents got up and watched cartoons WITH their children, and everyone enjoyed them. Today, cartoons are mostly for adult viewing. They teach kids about fighting and blood ...

The 7-episode 1995 Fox Series - NOT the original series

Midway (Collector's Edition)

Charlton Heston, Edward Albert

Gone with the Wind (Two-Disc Edition)

Everett Brown, Fred Crane

Warner Home Video, 2006

Scarlett O'Hara against the Whole World!
As Reviewer Gary F. Taylor clearly states in his excellent review do not expect historical accuracy nor political-correctness from this film. More than 60 years has elapsed since it was filmed and IMHO it will be unfair to focus on those two items to evaluate it. ...
