Aladdin (A Walt Disney Classic)
Scott Weinger, Robin Williams
Walt Disney Home Video, 1993
Great family film
Aladdin is among the Disney greats. A good, clean, yet exciting story for the younger audience and still plenty of hilarious references for the adults. The Platinum Edition has great picture and sound quality to match the magical soundtrack. I highly recommend it for ...

The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns (Boxed Set)
Ken Burns
Pbs Home Video, 1997
A true masterpiece, regardless of historical reservations!
Regardless of historical reservations and allegations of bias from both North and South, I regard this work of Ken Burns as a true masterpiece. I bought my first set on VHS several years ago at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and played it through a dozen or more times. I ...

Bionicle - Mask Of Light
Jason Michas, Andrew Francis
Miramax, 2003
This is awesome!
Out of all 3 movies, I think this one is the best. It is about this Matoran named Takua who finds a mask embedded in stone and he and his friend, Jaller, have been told by the Turaga that they must find the seventh toa. When Takua realizes he is the herald, he refuses ...

Centennial Vols 1-12
William Atherton, Raymond Burr
Universal Studios, 1997
A True Depiction of America's Western History
I too had this on VHS for many years and was thrilled when it became available on DVD. I've watched it countless times and never grow tired of it. Undoubtably it's the best mini-series ever made, and all the James Michener books are a good lesson in history. He, ...

Fantasia (Walt Disney's Masterpiece)
Leopold Stokowski, Deems Taylor
Walt Disney Home Video, 1992
Disney's Greatest Film
I have to admit, I'm an avid listener of classical music. So it's a small wonder why Disney's Fantasia is one of my favorite films. Every music sequence is pure gold (except maybe the Pastoral sequence).
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach = My ...

Toy Story

Still my favorite animated movie
I loved this movie when it first came out, and I still watch it time to time. No animated movie will be better than this, in my opinion.

Dracula
Anna Bakacs, Daisy Belmore
Universal Studios, 1992
The blood is the life
Back in 1931, the gloves came off. American cinema firmly grasps full-fledged horror and all the shadows that surround it. This is such a beautifully shot B&W classic that paved the way for the genre. Watch The Count glide with commanding grace during his nocturnal ...

The Century-America's Time (Boxed Set)
Peter Jennings, Linda Hunt
ABC News, 1999
STARTING TO WORRY
I have used this series for a few years now and have had great success with it. Not just the old school compilation of talking heads, but an engaging, well-paced documentary. However, as others have said, I am getting concerned about its availability in the future when ...

Schoolhouse Rock! - Grammar Rock
Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie
Walt Disney Video, 1997
Now all I need is a video of "Time for Timer!"
When my son was born, and only my singing seemed to comfort him, (my singing had never comforted anyone before...) I found myself singing "The Preamble" and "Conjunction Junction." I bought all four Schoolhouse Rock videos shortly afterwards.
He's three now, and ...

Tae-Bo Workout; Instructional and Basic (TaeBo; The ultimate total body workout for men and women)
Billy Blanks
Ventura Distribution, 1998
Excellent workout to fight cellulite/squishy out of shape legs and butt
A few years ago I borrowed these tapes from my sister when I wanted to get in shape for a trip to the islands and decided to start with the basic tape. Let me start by saying I HATE jumping around and aerobics on a whole. I was not terribly out of shape but I had lost ...

Jackie Chan's Who Am I?
Neil Berger, Dik Brinksma
Sony Pictures, 1999
Makes Rush Hour look like a game of candyland.
This film is amazing! Some of the stunts in here make you wonder is Jackie is even human. My favorite Jackie Chan film by far.

Yellow Submarine

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999
The great animated Beatles classic on DVD!!! If you can find a copy!!!
What a shame,it seems that movie companies only release Beatle classics on a limited term!!! I'm sure that a 40th Anniversary Edition might easily be on the way but I don't know!!! I'm glad I bought a copy of it when it was in print,because it is no out of print and ...

The Sting
Paul Newman, Robert Shaw
Universal Studios, 1992
One of my ten favorite movies!
I bought the "Legacy Series" disc to get a wide screen version, and it is a very fine upgrade from my older 4:3 aspect version.
I can't comment on the additional content of the second disc. I generally don't even watch that stuff.

Used People
Shirley MacLaine, Marcello Mastroianni
20th Century Fox, 1998
Brings Back Memories
Please release a DVD! This beautiful film truly captures the essence of a New York family in the 60s. Great casting, great talent, great acting and beautiful photography make this film likely to make those of us who experienced this time period in NY very sentimental.

T'ai Chi for Health - Yang Short Form
Healing Arts Home Video, 2000
Excellent Demonstration of Yang Short Form
I studied this form in the early 1990's but got out of practice and can't find a good teacher of this form. This DVD is the next best thing to having my early teachers with me. It has a few minor production issues but is generally excellent.
