A Classic Documentary
This 1970's documentary is a great classic. Great footage and editorial comment by a number of historians as well as the combatants from all sides of the conflict. While this British produced piece shows a lot from the Anglo perspective, it really does have a good balance covering the war in it's entire scope. If you like a flag flying, victory by sheer might type of story, this is probably NOT ...

One of my favorite films from the UK!
Waking Ned Devine is an a feel good, simple tale along the lines of Arsenic and Old Lace...great fun to watch over and over again.

Weird, wacky, wonderful
There aren't too many movies like "Brazil" around. It's been assigned to the category "steampunk" but I'm not sure that is correct- it has some cyberpunk attributes as well. Anyway, the labels aren't too important. What matters is the clever 3-way mix of human story, technology fantasy/satire, and sharp cynicism about the future of society. Imagine a version of "1984" where everything is ...

very funny
This is one funny movie. Just when I thought I had seen everything, something new came up. I laughed just as much the second or third time I watched it.

Nice picture of Jane Austen's early years
I love romance, so I enjoyed this movie very much. It was nice to discovered the kind of life that Jane Austen could had had and related with his books, it can explain a lot about her personality. And the performances of Anne Hathaway and James Mcavoy were great, they made a nice couple on the screen, they transmit the idea of real love through their rolls. Perfect for my teast.

Great Special Edition
I'd been waiting to buy Psycho until a worthy special edition came along, and i'm glad i did. This has just about anything you'd want to know about the movie and a great transfer to boot. Even after knowing all of the secrets about the movie, it still packs quite a punch.

Fabulous Adaptation
It is always impossible to adapt a play to the screen without making some changes- and that was also true in this case. To which the only proper response is to say- so what? Did they keep the spirit and main ideas? Is it largely the same story? And in the case of any Oscar Wilde play- did they keep as much of the language, the dialogue and the wit as was possible? In this film the answer to all ...

ABSORBED
"Dandelion Dead" is a really riveting presentation. It kind of sneaked up on me. At first, I found myself just enjoying the recreation, on screen, of a very idyllic time (1920) and place (small country town) with the seemingly gentle and harmless character of Major Herbert Armstrong played superbly by Michael Kitchen along with his most irritating wife wonderfully (and surprisingly for me) ...

Repression and lack of awareness eventually have a price
The beauty of Remains of the Day can not be overstated. The photography and art direction were superb in every way. The camera is usually at eye level in most shots, giving the film some intimacy within a great beautiful country home. The film is based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, a talented master of the understated and unsaid. Anthony Hopkins plays his best role in this film because so ...

Nothing Tops This Is, If You Like SRV
I read somewhere once that if you really want a composite of what Stevie Ray Vaughan was all about, musically, all you need is this DVD. I totally agree. I have a half dozen SRV discs or tapes but nothing tops this. You get two concerts, one on each disc. The first is the "controversial" 1982 concert at Montreux (in Switzerland) and the other is the 1985 return trip to Montreux. The first was ...

Great movie! Great kid's movie and the Criterion DVD still stands up high!
My uncle first introduced this movie to me a long time ago! Afterwards I thought it was weird for a couple of reasons. The first was that it was directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python and the other was the kooky plot and characters. But they were reasons to make me watch the movie. I fell in love with it after a couple of viewings. I have to praise Terry Gilliam for directing Heath Ledger in ...

IF YOU LIKE DICKEN'S CHRISTMAS CAROL, THEN YOU'LL LIKE THIS DICKENS MURDER MYSTERY DOUBLE ROMANCE
This is Charles Dickens's last novel into TV series form. A very excellent portrayal of the classic book. Dickens is a treat for anyone who enjoys early Victorian British life. This "river" story shows the poor and the rich side of life in London. It is a double romance and at the same time multiple murder mysteries are woven into one story. Only Dickens can make such a complicated plot and make ...

If you own a big screen...
I saw this move years ago on a premium movie channel. At the time I recall thinking that I would love to see it on a large screen. Fast forward to 2008, I have a 52" big screen. I ordered this DVD. WOW! It was everything I remembered and more. Awesome, stunning visuals. The sailing scenes rock!

Dickens, Dickens and More Dickens
Anyone who likes the novels of Charles Dickens would, I believe, like this series. Anyone familiar with the BBC productions of the Dickens' novels would like this series. Anyone curious about 19th century English society would like this series. And lastly, anyone who just likes to see a good story well acted would like this series.
