Special

Judy Garland, Frank Morgan

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), 1999

The Wizard has it All.
"There's no place like home." Dorothy and her friends seek the answer to their desires in a land of dreams and nightmares. Brilliant use of color and sepia. Classic songs, incredible performances and special effects that still hold up today. One of my ten best.

Beauty and the Beast (Disney Special Edition)

Paige O'Hara, Robby Benson

Walt Disney Home Video, 2002

Awsome
The dvd arrived within 3 days in perfect condition. It's a great movie! I had it on VHS and loved it so much I had to have it on dvd!

Cool Hand Luke

Paul Newman, George Kennedy

Warner Home Video, 1998

The Spirit of the Anti-Hero
Paul Newman died yesterday, and I watched 'Cool Hand Luke' in his memory. Paul liked to think he was an ordinary guy. He played ordinary guys in his films, and he hung around ordinary people. The difference is that Paul Newman knew his own mind and no one could push ...

Gone with the Wind

Thomas Mitchell, Barbara O'Neil

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Gone With the Wind
Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939 Excellent movie, excellent price. I got it for free shipping, but it took almost two weeks to get to me. I think it is worth the extra few bucks to get stuff sooner.

The Music Man

Robert Preston, Shirley Jones

Warner Home Video, 2000

A great musical!
This is a great movie. I got my husband to watch it with me and he couldn't believe how much fun it was. Give it a try. You won't regret it.

Pinocchio (Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Marion Darlington, Cliff Edwards

Walt Disney Home Video, 1999

Carmen's movie
The first time my Carmen saw this movie she was mesmerized, just like I remember seeing it for the first time. She loves Jimminie Cricket. This was one of my own mother's favorite movie, and she is named after my mom, and to see her little face light up, that was a ...

Scarlett (Special Collector's Editon)

Joanne Whalley, Timothy Dalton

Hallmark, 1997

Scarlett, the book
Great book. Written in sense of "Gone with the Wind." Good character development. Really saw the growth of Scarlet, from self-centered child to caring young woman. Always had the feeling, unlike the film, that it was Scarlet and Rhett. Set in Irish history ...

To Kill a Mockingbird (Widescreen)

Gregory Peck, John Megna

Universal Studios, 1998

Top Ten classic
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a powerful, hugely well-acted film that should be on everyone's Top Ten and should be in every film collection. The book took me for a ride as a child, one of those rare books we were made to read in school that I could not put down; the ...

The Little Mermaid (Fully Restored Special Edition) (Disney's Masterpiece)

Rene Auberjonois, Christopher Daniel Barnes

Walt Disney Home Video, 1998

What A Joy!
Sent this as a gift to a very special little girl on her birthday. She just loves the movie and I get the biggest kick out of listening to her humming the tunes. Would definately recommend this.

Halloween Tree

Kevin Michaels, Darleen Carr

Turner Home Ent, 1995

HALLOWEEN CLASSIC NEEDS TO BE ON DVD!!
The Halloween Tree is a classic with outstanding Halloween animation. I have a copy of this on laserdisc including a voice over option by Ray Bradbury. Bradbury walks you through the film and his input on its making and how it's really the most recent revision of his ...

Valley of the Dolls (Spec)

Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke

20th Century Fox, 1997

A True American Cinema Classic.
DOLLS!!! What may have been at the time of release "shocking" dialogue is why Valley of the Dolls will live in infamy. "Well Broad-way doesn't go for booozze and pills." Helen Larson tells Neeley O'Hara at the start of their catfight in the powder room. Great fun to ...

Rear Window

James Stewart, Grace Kelley

Paramount Pictures, 2001

Restorers' Error
Restorers' Error What the restorers of Rear Window don't know is that there exist two dream sequences in the first part of the movie. The first takes place after Grace Kelly leaves, and James Stewart has heard the scream from across the courtyard. Thelma Ritter, ...

Play Nice

Ed O'Ross, Louise Robey

Lions Gate/Trimark Home Ent., 1992

Amazingly Trashy, Amazingly Amazing
There is no better film. The acting, the writing, the cinematography. The key grip was outstanding. Robey as Rapunzel was not seductive, not chilling. Ed O'Ross as Mouth was (...) ugly. Favorite Quotes: "Be the Wolf, be the wolf!!" "Do you believe in fairies? You ...

Midnight Hour (1985) (Coll Clam)

Jonelle Allen, Lee Montgomery

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999

A Fun Movie To Re-visit
The Midnight Hour is an old somewhat funny horror movie that is just fun to watch. It probably would not interest the younger folks who are into the ultra high tech special effects movies of today but it does help some of us old timers revisit a time when things seemed ...

Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth (6pc)

Joseph Campbell, Bill Moyers

Mystic Fire Video, 1998

The Power of Myth: A Spiritual Touchstone for Millions
In 1986, journalist Bill Moyers sat down with mythologist Joseph Campbell for a series of interviews taped at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. The sessions, which aired on PBS in '88 (see Bill Moyers Remembers Joseph Campbell), introduced Campbell's transcendental wisdom ...
