The best ANNIE ever!
This is the best Annie, ever! The original brodway production in a fun filled musical movie that charms both children and adults. This movie fallows the original classic story and has all the traditinal songs and senes. I love to dance and sing along to this movie ...

Salem Witch Trials

Kristin Booth, Rebecca De Mornay

Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2008

Compelling re-telling of the Salem Witch Trials
"Salem Witch Trials" is a compelling 2003 CBS mini-series that featured many familiar and veteran actors and for the most part, stayed true to the historical events that came to be known as the Salem Witch Trials. The mini-series begins on a rather odd note - it is ...

Hamlet

Mel Gibson, Glenn Close

Warner Home Video, 2004

Champagne for the eyes
After seeing Olivier's version of Hamlet, I was interested in seeing this version of Hamlet. Admittedly, Mel Gibson was one-hundred percent of my impulse to see this film. I don't usually follow actors when choosing movies; I trust directors more than I trust actors in ...

Salem Witch Trials [Blu-ray]
Kirstie Alley, Rebecca De Mornay

Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2008

Salem, Massachusetts. A small town--with no clear governing body--became embroiled in a scandal that forever stands as one of the darkest chapters in American history. For those accused of witchcraft by their neighbors and friends, there was little chance of clearing their names; the mass paranoia that ravaged through the community took the lives ...

Arabian Nights

Mili Avital, Alan Bates

Lions Gate, 2001

Recreates well the atmosphere of Silk Road life
Having trod many a dusty path across lots of (old quarter) Silk Road cities and landscapes from Middle China to the Middle East, this Hallmark film really (and unexpectedly) receives my 5 stars without hesitation (both for adults'! and children's viewing alike). ...

The Rose

Bette Midler, Jonathan Banks

20th Century Fox, 2003

THE ROSE
SERVICE WAS FAST . DVD WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION . THIS DVD IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE VHS TAPE WHICH I ALSO HAD .

Gosford Park

Eileen Atkins, Alan Bates

Universal Studios, 2002

Commentary by Julian Fellowes is most enjoyable!
I'm glad this DVD belongs to me for I will watch it many times. The music is lovely and Jeremy Northam and Clive Owen are easy on the eyes. Julian Fellowes has an excellent commentary explaining the aristocracy and the servant class which made the story-line all the ...

King Of Hearts

Jacques Balutin, Alan Bates

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

One of the five best movies ever made
Funny, profound. Near perfect! In French, English and German -- with subtitles. Full of deep insights about sex, love, war, madness and society -- all in a charming hilarious wrapper. Watch it with someone you love!

The Sum of All Fears (Special Collector's Edition)

Ben Affleck, Alan Bates

Paramount, 2002

Has some good qualities
I went into "The Sum of All Fears" expecting to be disappointed by Ben Affleck. I'm not really a fan of much of his dramatic work ("Changing Lanes" is an exception). I have not seen the other Jack Ryan movies, but I still didn't really think Affleck would make a ...

Zorba the Greek

Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates

International Classics, 2004

Probably the greatest film of all time
This wonderful film has never become dated. It is a catalogue of superlatives -- an outstanding film score (and indeed soundtrack), an outstanding cast (Alan Bates and Irene Papas were probably the two most beautiful people in the world at that time and Anthony Quinn ...

In The Beginning

Martin Landau, Jacqueline Bisset

Lions Gate, 2001

THE BIBLE STORY BOOK COME TO LIFE
In The Beginning DVD When I was growing up my Mother gave me a book called the Bible Story Book. It had a child's summary of the great stories from the Bible in it. This DVD gives you the same thing, but in movie fashion. From Adam and Eve to Moses receiving the ...

Women in Love

Alan Bates, Oliver Reed

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Women In Love - DVD
A most superb and touching period piece which unfolds the struggle of 4 adults - 2 couples - to come to grips, literatlly, with their sexuality including the homoerotic yearning of one of the males.

Georgy Girl

James Mason, Alan Bates

Sony Pictures, 2005

Georgy Girl
The DVD arrived sooner than I expected. It was in perfect condition, as advertised. I will definitely order from this seller again

WGBH BOSTON, 2005

Bertie and Elizabeth
I have so many DVDs about the Royal Family and this is one of the very best! There have been many movies, miniseries, etc that concentrate on the story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - this DVD looks at the story from a different perspective.

Royal Flash

Malcolm McDowell, Alan Bates

Shocking Videos, 2007

Fun With History
Royal Flash is more than just a slapstick romp with plenty of laugh-out-loud scenes. It is that--but it's also a well-crafted and humorous look at history which can be taken at face value or viewed as a rather cynical commentary on the nature of power and fame. It's ...
