Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving

Warner Home Video, 2006

One of the greatest movies I have ever seen
Having not read the graphic novel on which this movie is based, I cannot (and would not) debate the faithfulness of the adaptation or its relative worth. I also cannot divine what the Wachowski brothers' intent or motivations might have been, especially regarding the ...

Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, 2006

This one a long time have I watched
I remember going to see THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK for the first time in 1980. I was 5 years old. I remember hearing the voice of Yoda and exclaiming, "That's Grover!" (i.e. Sesame Street). And it was (Frank Oz). THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK has always been my favorite ...

Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving

Warner Home Video, 2008

One of the greatest movies I have ever seen

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 ...

The Mists of Avalon

Anjelica Huston, Julianna Margulies

Turner Home Ent, 2001

Good movie
Good cast. Could have stayed closer to the book, but all-in-all a good way to spend your time.

A Clockwork Orange [Blu-ray]

Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee

Warner Home Video, 2007

A Brightly Painted Hooker
Fete of Death "A Clockwork Orange" is one of the most lyrically beautiful, ritualistically brutal films ever made. The violence can be so off-putting that you feel compelled to turn away from the screen, but the sheer beauty of Kubrick's stylized barbarism makes it ...

Yellow Submarine

George Dunning (II), John Clive

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 ...

A Clockwork Orange (Two-Disc Special Edition)

The 13th Warrior

Antonio Banderas, Vladimir Kulich

Walt Disney Video, 2000

it's real
This movie isn't a fantasy -- it's about real things -- courage, and living life with great intensity. When Banderas kneels in the mud to pray for the ability to "live the next five minutes well," I got goosebumps. And when the Vikings, led by Bulvi (sp), who has ...

Frankenstein (75th Anniversary Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)

Colin Clive, Mae Clarke

Universal Studios, 2006

Universal monster classic.
This is the first universal Frankenstein movie released in 1931 and was directed by James Whale, the movie is a horror classic while not scary it still is a gothic horror masterpiece. Borris Karloff does a great job of portraying the monster even though it does look ...

The Bride of Frankenstein

Boris Karloff, Colin Clive

Universal Studios, 1999

Domestic dispute: Bride vs. Frankenstein
Can a sequel outdo the original? Audiences, critics, and (more importantly) many of my friends seem to think so. And they all have a solid case. The Bride of Frankenstein is a remarkable continuation of the previous masterpiece. It opens with a haunting murder ...

The Howling IV: The Original Nightmare

Romy Windsor, Michael T. Weiss

Platinum Disc, 2004

Howwll!
I loved this movie so much! Sure it's similar to the first but the special effects makes it a howl of a great time!

V for Vendetta (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskervilles

Richard Greene, Basil Rathbone

Mpi Home Video, 2004

SHolmes Fan
My personal favorite. Rathbone and Bruce shine. You will thoroughly enjoy this one.

The Shoes of the Fisherman

Anthony Quinn, Laurence Olivier

Warner Home Video, 2006

One of a Kind
This is my favorite movie. It is truly unlike anything else ever filmed, in that it does an incredible job of showing a little of what the papacy is, and its burden on the man bearing it. Also, it shows the beauty of Christianity and the Catholic Church at its core, ...
