DVD: prejudice     DVD:       The Point180 reviews Ringo Starr, Paul Frees RCA, 2004 THE POINT Greatest animated movie for children to learn from. Teaches them that everyone can be different. Ringo Starr narrates beautifully. Purchased for my children on tape and years later purchased for grandson. EXCELLENT             Bride and Prejudice237 reviews Naveen Andrews, Ashanti (II) Miramax Home Entertainment, 2005 If you like this movie; Another recommendation I love this retelling of the classic Jane Austin novel, "Pride and Prejudice". The ingenuity of the movie showing the cultural divide of the two stars, one from india and one from America, is inspiring. I will not go into too much detail as the other reviews are very helpful in that respect. Why am I wiriting this review you might ask? I loved this movie and wanted to watch another ...             Crash (Widescreen Edition)1000 reviews Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock Lions Gate Films, 2005 The Most Thought-Provoking Movie I would rank this movie as one of the very best that I've seen in years. How many movies present BOTH sides of a story in such a manner that it makes you wonder about your own perceptions? It seems to me that people who scored the movie very low are either extremely stubborn and don't want to "walk a mile in some else's shoes", just don't like to think while watching a movie, or living in a ...             The Jane Austen Book Club66 reviews Maria Bello, Emily Blunt Sony Pictures, 2008 Bring over the popcorn, wine, and whiskey we've got girls night winner. Loved this movie, watched it twice the 1'st day. The cast is great and although I wouldn't call it deep and moving it is sharp and has some substance. It manages an unmistakable Austin feel and is engaging. It was fun to have an ensemble relationship movie, a flavor for all of us. My favorite character was Grigg, probably because I so rarely see this character in movies; he played the part ...             Jane Austen Collection (Sense & Sensibility / Emma / Persuasion / Mansfield Park / Pride & Prejudice / ...118 reviews Doran Godwin, John Carson BBC Warner, 2004 Jane Austen Collection I love the Jane Austen Movies the newer versions Own all of them But I really wanted to see the older ones as well and was Very pleased to see that they are As good as the newer versions if not better. I am glad to Finally get to see Nothanger Abbey Since there is no newer version of this movie. I would By this seires for any one who loves older movies and family movies.             Emma (A&E, 1997)157 reviews Kate Beckinsale, Bernard Hepton A&E Home Video, 1999 Difinitive Emma This is a really difinitive production of Emma. Aside from the slightly jujeune leading lady (which gets her correctly - even Jane Austen knew she was somewhat dislikable), played excellently by Kate Beckinsale, we have the best Jane Faifax in gorgeous and extemely talented Olivia Williams. William's Jane is highlighted by some of the prettiest music pieces chosen for Jane - which is part of ...             Pride & Prejudice938 reviews Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen Universal Studios, 2006 Pride & Prejudice Remake Loved the actors and how they interpreted the story. Who's not to love another remake of Jane Austin's historic romance story. Received the movie in a timely fashion in great shape. Thanks!             Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)1534 reviews Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle A&E Home Video, 2001 The Ultimate Chick Flick I just love this version of Jane Austin's story. The book was amazing, but I believe this is very good and true to the story. Of course, the details of the book can't all be included, but this includes quite a bit due to the amazing 5 hour duration! They did add some things not in the book, but I thought they were good additions. The acting is wonderful, inspiring the full range of emotions. ...             Pride and Prejudice160 reviews Greer Garson, Laurence Olivier Warner Home Video, 2006 Strays a bit from the book but still a favorite! This is the first film version I had ever seen of Pride and Prejudice and I was so glad to finally see it on DVD. An Austen fanatic, I own more than one version and while this one takes a few more librties than others, it is my favorite. Like most movies it sticks true to the main points of the book but, even the differences seem to fit in seemlessly. If you are a stickler for the movie being ...             The Iron Giant (Special Edition)449 reviews Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr. Warner Home Video, 2004 Awesome Movie Buy this and you will be pleased. To think it is unknown by so many. A great movie. The whole family can watch.             A Raisin in the Sun50 reviews Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeil Sony Pictures, 2000 An American Classic In Black And White "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" So begins what is perhaps Langston Hughes' most famous poem "A Dream Deferred" and ends with the line, "Or does it explode?" The writer Lorraine Hansberry lifted the quotation from Hughes' powerful poem for her equally powerful award-winning play that ultimately became the 1961 film starring Sidney Poitier, Claudia ...             Something New (Widescreen Edition)132 reviews Sanaa Lathan, Simon Baker Focus Features, 2006 Beautiful Movie This story is very realistic. It shows that the perfect man (or woman) doesn't necessarily have to be the same skin color as you. I just love a good love story and this one is cute. Kudos to Sanaa Lathan!             Crash (Full Screen Edition)1000 reviews Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock Lions Gate Films, 2005 The Most Thought-Provoking Movie I would rank this movie as one of the very best that I've seen in years.

The young man's lawyer doesn't seem to care about his guilt or innocence. The evidence seems condemning in the extreme. There does not seem to be any reason that the jury should be more than a few minutes in deciding his guilt and then...off ...             Pride and Prejudice (BBC, 1980)223 reviews Elizabeth Garvie, David Rintoul BBC Warner, 2004 Close, But Still My Favorite I first saw this version on Masterpiece Theater in the early 80's when I was in high school. I had not read the book yet at that time but I was quite captivated by Elizabeth Garvie's portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet. (My being a 16 year old boy also might have had something to do with it.) Unfortunately I missed the final episode so I had to get the book. I have lost count how many times I have ...             Pleasantville (New Line Platinum Series)381 reviews Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon New Line Home Video, 2004 Thought Provoking and Underappreciated I can't believe I missed this classic. Turning the overused and predictable time-travel concept on its head, Pleasantville aims extremely high, posing the mother of all existential questions - would we do it the same way if given a chance to re-write our own history? With the exception of some very leaden sixties revisionism, the answer is ingenious and thought provoking. Living in the ...             Running Brave10 reviews Robby Benson, Pat Hingle Trinity Home Ent, 2005 inspirational excellent movie. truly one of the great untold stories of a remarkable american-indian athlete and the many adverse conditions he had to overcome. (billy mills is still the only american athlete who has one gold at the 10,000 meters at the olympic games). robby benson is remarkable in this movie.             Pride and Prejudice (10th Anniversary Collector's Set) (A&E, 1996)1534 reviews Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle A&E Home Video, 2006 The Ultimate Chick Flick I just love this version of Jane Austin's story.

Do the right thing is amazing!!! As we all know it is the tale of race relations in America, set in Brooklyn in the Bedford-Stuyvesant community. This movie glows as it shows the racial tension that still goes on today. Lee shows that as diverse as America is, instead of diplomatically talking out our differences, we fear what we do not understand and as minorities fight ourselves, while (some) ...             X-Men (Widescreen Edition)788 reviews Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart 20th Century Fox, 2006 Hollywood finally gets the "superhero" thing right. I didn't grow up with the X Men, I grew up with superfriends lol. I wasn't sure what to expect when I rented this one, I knew who wolverine was but none of the other characters. I liked it. I'm so glad Hollywood decided to get actors who can actually act. They definitely give the characters depth and personality. The story is very good, how can you not love Magneto???
