Sunset boulevard

Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
1959's classic Some Like it Hot is one of the best movies of all time, the end. When Joe(Tony Curtis) and Jerry(Jack Lemmon) two best friends and musicians, accidentally witness a mob murder, they've got to drop everything and run away to the next best thing; ...

Chinatown (Special Collector's Edition)

Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway

Paramount Home Video, 2007

A crime noir has never looked this good...
Finally; a crime noir that works. After watching quite a few lackluster film noirs I decided to revisit `Chinatown' to see if it still held up as the greatest film noir of all time and, quite honestly, it does. Polanski gets everything right with this one, creating a ...

Casablanca

Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman

Warner Home Video, 2000

New Ultimate edition for collectors (and gift-givers) coming out for Christmas
Possibly the most popular film around, 1942's Casablanca pairs two iconic actors, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, in a story of lost love and reluctant heroism. Warner Brothers put out an excellent 2-disc Special Edition in 2003. (That older set is going to ...

Laura (Fox Film Noir)

Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews

20th Century Fox, 2005

Verry, Verry Good Film!
This is absolutely a good film - not a great film but wonderfully fun! It has a couple of good twists and turns! I would highly recomend it! If you love Gene Tierney and Classic films watch the Ghost and Mrs. Muere!

Psycho (Special Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)

Frank Albertson, Martin Balsam

Universal Studios, 2008

"Psycho" Is The Most Influential Horror Movie Ever Made
How I envy those who saw "Psycho" when it was originally released in the theatres in 1960. How shocking it must have been for them to learn the true identity of the serial killer. To this day, "Psycho" continues to frighten even the most jaded of horror fans. It has ...

Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten

Turner Home Ent, 2001

A classic!
Every movie lover should have this film in his/her library. Especially interesting was the commentary by Roger Ebert.

On the Waterfront (Special Edition)

Martin Balsam, Don Blackman

Sony Pictures, 2001

A film of major social importance; not to mention utterly fascinating to watch...
A staple for any fan of Marlon Brando, `On the Waterfront' is much more than a showcase for the actor's immense talent. No, `On the Waterfront' is a brilliant study of oppression, power and the struggle for control, not of others but of ones self. Sure, Brando ...

All About Eve (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Bette Davis, Anne Baxter

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2008

A Great Package
The extras alone are worth the price of the set. First, the movie is 2-1/4 hrs. long, and never seems to drag. Second there are two feature-length commentaries (the 2nd is the superior). Then there's the 2nd disk with wonderful insights into the people involved in the ...

Some Like It Hot (Collector's Edition)

Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2006

Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
1959's classic Some Like it Hot is one of the best movies of all time, the end. When Joe(Tony Curtis) and Jerry(Jack Lemmon) two best friends and musicians, accidentally witness a mob murder, they've got to drop everything and run away to the next best thing; ...

Roman Holiday - The Centennial Collection

Eddie Albert, Paola Borboni

Paramount, 2008

Princess abroad
Fairy tales don't really happen in our world -- especially not the kind that actually involve princesses. But you wouldn't know that from "Roman Holiday," one of Audrey Hepburn's earliest ever movie roles -- as well as her breakout one. This adorable romantic ...

Touch of Evil (Restored to Orson Welles' Vision)

Joe Basulto, Joseph Calleia

Universal Studios, 2000

"Touch of Evil" presented in its three different variations with actor commentary
Over looked when it was released (except in France where it won awards and critical praise), "Touch of Evil" was Orson Welles' last major studio project as writer-director-star. When the original director bowed out, Welles (supported by star Charlton Heston)asked for ...

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Bette Davis, Joan Crawford

Warner Home Video, 2006

Misery
I'm glad this was in black and white because on the back of the dvd case it showed pictures from the movie in colour. I'm not sure if I would want to see Bette Davis's face in colour because she is butt-ugly in this. Joan Crawford looked kind of "ill" in this movie, ...

Billy Wilder DVD Collection (Sunset Boulevard/Stalag 17/Sabrina)

William Holden, Don Taylor

Paramount, 2002

He Left Us Too Soon
Billy Wilder died earlier this year at 95 years old, and it was still too soon. A shame that Hollywood left him after "Buddy Buddy," to spend the last twenty years of his life pining for a movie production that never came his way. These three movies represent Wilder ...
