Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)

Sense and Sensibility
This is a typical Jane Austen romance, beautifully written and masterfully performed. The witty dialogue is well casted and acted by charming and professional perfomers. Highly recommended, especially for Jane Austen fans.

Xanadu - Magical Musical Edition (With Complete Soundtrack CD)

Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly

Universal Picutres, 2008

What a cult classicx
I love this movie. I was introduced to it in the 80's and fell in love with ELO and Olivia. I've had a crush on her ever since. I wore out several copies of the VHS tape and finally got it on DVD. It's campy, but what do you expect for that era. It's stil got some ...

The Notebook (New Line Platinum Series)

Tim Ivey, Gena Rowlands

New Line Home Video, 2005

Please give this movie a chance
I was reluctant to watch this film because of the overwhelming mainstream adoration. Everytime I saw the cover of the DVD with Allie and Noah kissing I rolled my eyes and mocked. I enjoy passionate movies, not cheesy love stories. I was CONVINCED this would be ...

Atonement (Widescreen Edition)

Keira Knightley, James Mcavoy

Universal Studios, 2008

Masterpiece
I had neither read the book nor read any film review of "Atonement" before I saw it on DVD. I was aware that Ian McEwan is a celebrated modern author but little else. In short, I saw this film with absolutely no preconceived ideas. "Atonement" is an absolutely ...

The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition)

Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer

20th Century Fox, 2005

Music to My Eyes
Everyone knows how popular this movie is but I had no idea after 30 years how much I would love it. My mother insisted I see it as a teenager and I wanted no part of it. As an adult with girls 3 and 6, we are enchanted with this movie and watch it any chance we get. It ...

Shelter

Brad Rowe, Tina Holmes

Genius Products (TVN), 2008

pleasantly surprised
Wow, I had given up on buying gay themed movies. They are usually poorly made with poor acting-very low budget. After watching Shelter I was soo surprised. It didn't look low budget. The story could of delve more into the characters self development but otherwise I ...

Masterpiece Theatre: Northanger Abbey

WGBH Boston, 2008

Wonderful Movie
I saw this on PBS' Masterpiece and enjoyed it so much I wanted to own it and add it to our Jane Austen DVD collection. If you enjoy the movies that have been done bringing Jane Austin's writing to the screen you will probably enjoy this as well.

True Jane Austen fan, True Jane Austen Movie
I have seen the BBC version and this version many times. Having just completed reading the book again yesterday, I wanted to watch this movie to cap it off. For all of the doubters, it truly is a wonderful portrayal of the characters, their over-the-top strengths and ...

Once

Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová

20th Century Fox, 2007

instant classic
when you first watch the movie, you may be thrown by the camera work and rough editing techniques. However, as you continue to watch you realize that this just adds to the personal nature of the film. It is truly a beautiful work of art, from the music to the overall ...

GREAT!!!
It was GREAT to be able to see Disney's Little Mermaid again. My daughter absolutely loved this movie when she was little. She's almost 21 now and I found this DVD on Amazon. We were able to sit and watch it again like when she was a little girl. It was a very ...

Across the Universe (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess

Sony Pictures, 2008

Beatles rock
All I know is, I never even tried to listen to Beatles cd's my entire life, cause I just thought they were an old band, old people listen to from the 60's. And at first when watching this movie I thought it was really cheesy and a stupid musical. I had never listened ...
