Fantastic film history lesson, Ernest. Thank you very much. As one who had little yellow records of the songs of Alice in Wonderland as a child (78's if I remember correctly), this is one that has stuck in my memory mainly as auditory rather than visual. I loved your comments about the music...

Some good dramas from my collection that are not necessarily "upbeat:" The Sweet Hereafter Immortal Beloved Days of Heaven Glengarry Glen Ross Picnic at Hanging Rock Summertime Taste of Cherry

Love this set, and watched Alien last night again on my new DLP projector to see details that I've didn't see in the movie theater or on my previous LCD PJ. Does anyone else think that 80 pages of comments is just a little OVER THE TOP? Shouldn't it be broken up into smaller chunks? Given...

Glad to see JustinCleveland mention Scotland, PA. A very witty adaptation of Macbeth. Seems like we're all waiting for Branagh's Hamlet. I would not discount Shakespeare in love, since it has some sly humor if you are familiar with the various theories about Shakespeare (that his sonnets...

I was really looking forward to this one. Popped it in last night... Hey! this is the same as the previouw DVD! This one's going back for a refund. "Enhanced for widescreen." Yeah, and there's weapons of mass destruction here somewhere, too.

Last I heard, charging credit card orders before the item ships is illegal.

I didn't even know this was scheduled for release, and I pore over the new DVD releases every week. Went to Best Buy at lunch and found it for $12.99 so picked it up. I've always liked this little movie, and have only seen it on TV. Usually it's really chopped up, and I've seen it presented...

Andrew, We'd be interested in your comments after you see the DVD. Does the DVD do justice to the film? I, like others, saw blue patches shifting around in the blacks in many scenes. I did really enjoy the movie, but I've got a dark sense of humor, and had a lot of sympathy for J.A.s...

Funny thing about this movie is that it is clearly stamped "anamorphic" on the disk itself. I looked closely at the packaging at the rental store and it said widescreen. I saw the DTS label and thought to myself, why would they bother with DTS and not do anamorphic? I was hoping for anamorphic...

This is a great list. Since many of my favorites have already been mentioned, let me list a few that I thought were great but not yet in the list: La Femme Nikita - great French action film Triumph of the Will - Fascinating documentary about Nazi Germany from the inside. Kurosawa films not...

Nice movie, good DVD transfer. Some cropping, though, especially if you look at the scene where Perseus first chases the giant Vulture as it steals away with Andromeda's soul. Heads are cut off. See the thread on AVS Forum about this. Great actors! Plus some scenes that I never saw in the...

This is a good one. I saw it many years ago because I was addicted to 50s sci-fi flix as a kid. I found some pretty old newspapers in an old house on property my dad bought in the 50s. The ads for Them! were great, and I was intrigued with this movie, but I only saw it years later on TV...

Stephen, Looking at your collection, I see you have Ben Hur. You might also consider the Criterion Spartacus. I don't see too many movies older than about 20 years, but if you liked Citizen Kane, you might also enjoy some of the Hitchcock classics that are on Criterion (and other) labels...

Why do you specifically want Criterion? Not to be a snob or anything, but the movies you listed are mostly available on non-Criterion labels as well. No argument that usually Criterion make great transfers and some intelligent extras, but, again, your list contains only recent, well-known...

I'm sure we'd all have a different list of the top 100. I am surprised to see the second Kubrick boxed set with the remastered 2001, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, etc. missing, as well as some that I'd rate over Charlies Angels, Tommy, even Pearl Harbor IMHO, and Kentucky Fried movie, such as Das...

Yes, Uncle Buck is on DVD. Check my Profiler link below. Great movie, but the DVD is dark and grainy. Not a good showcase for your HT. Glad to see so many mention Groundhog Day and Contact. Both excellent DVDs in my collection that have provided many enjoyable viewings. ...Off to search for...

Lots of good suggestions here, including some hidden gems, such as Forgotten Silver. However it might not be the best to show off your HT. My suggestions from my collection: Air Force One (superbit) - action, no sex, good guys vs bad guys Will Penny - an absolutely GREAT western with...

You've got to give them credit for really straddling the line here between classic movies and popular culture. I'm sure we'd all have our own lists different from this one. I guess you'd have to say that anyone who needed guidance from a retailer on what are the "essential movies" for their...

I love this movie and taped it on VHS from some cable channel in the 80s. I didn't realize that it was scheduled soon. Any news appreciated. This has some the 80s Saturday Night Live group (Gilda Radner), John Candy, Cheech and Chong and others giving a great tribute to 50s and 60s monster...

For me it comes down to convenience, quality, and atmosphere. The atmosphere at the theater is a gamble. It sometimes helps to enhance the experience with a group that's really into the movie. I remember a totally creepy Alien viewing where the entire audience was terrified, it seemed --my wife...

Rung up for $17.99 at Fry's, where it was tagged with $19.99. They often do this, running an ad later in the week with the special price. Also $17.99 at Costco. (US prices)

This was put out on Laser Disk. I almost bought it and a laser disk player (which I have never owned) just to have this one movie. Questions about when it's going to show up on DVD have been ongoing on many DVD forums since the advent of DVDs. No one has a definitive answer as of yet. You...

I do like the new added categories, but I'd like to keep my own categories, even after downloading a new profile. My categories should be "hard," and not overwritten by someone else's opinions on which category a movie should go into. When categories are determined by the database, it's...

I thought Jeepers Creepers was a pretty good flick in this category. As for oldies, Rosemary's Baby, Eraserhead, Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Nosferatu (original silent version).

One of my favorite rock movies, and I'm old enough to be a big fan of The Band. Twice I had tickets to see them in concert (once in Seattle, once in San Antonio), and both times they cancelled. I watched this the other night, and was impressed with the quality of the DVD. The music is great...
