The Lion King - Special Edition [VHS]

654 reviews
Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Terrific film, terrific disc. Please, Disney, put this back in print!
From an adult audience perspective: Highly entertaining, funny, and ultimately quite moving. It manages to be digestible for kids, but meaty enough for anyone older. Some great voicing -- especially by Jeremy Irons. The songs are good, and most of the animation is quite beautiful. It has its occasional sappy moments, and the basic plot is old as the hills, but its all done very, ...

The Sandlot [VHS]

199 reviews
Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar

20th Century Fox, 1998

Another Childhood Favorite!!!
Ever since I was a kid, I've loved this movie. It has a great storyline, and can relate to kids, and adults alike. A new kid in town named Scotty Smalls tries to make friends with the kids that play baseball at the sandlot. Benny Rodriguez gives Smalls a chance, but the rest are reluctant to having him join their crew. After he finally earns their respect, he accidentally hits a baseball signed ...

Hunt for Red October [VHS]

Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin

Paramount, 1992

A Great Film based on a Great Book
Tom Clancy is well-known for filling his techno-thrillers with vivid and accurate details, but I don't think any of his stories had as gripping a plot as THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER By TOM CLANCY 1984. I was a submariner when the book was released and, more than any book written during my life, I literally could not put it down. Amazing to us sailors, Clancy had the details just right, but it ...

Our Friend Martin [VHS]

52 reviews
Edward Asner, Angela Bassett

20th Century Fox, 1999

excellent
This is very good for school age children, we show it at our elementary school. I HAVE HAD THIS SINCE IT CAME OUT IN 1999 AND THE CHILDREN LOVE IT, but the price for the dvd is ridiculous fifty dollars

Matewan [VHS]

73 reviews
Chris Cooper, James Earl Jones

Evergreen Ent, 1997

Matewan Review
An historically accurate presentation as far as the history of the Matewan massacre goes. Of course the "created"character development added a lot of interest. I appreciated the facts being presented without amplification such as Sid Hatfield actually surviving the shootout, and later being gunned down in retribution by the quasi "Pinkerton" firm. On the whole, a very good reinactment for an ...

Jesus of Nazareth (3pc) [VHS]

Robert Powell, Olivia Hussey

Live / Artisan, 1995

Blessed!!!
This movie has touched me in many ways. it has taught me more about Jesus and it has opened my heart more and has strengthen my faith. This movie teaches us all about Jesus and it also teaches us to have a loving heart.

Timepiece (1996) [VHS]

5 reviews
Naomi Watts, Kevin Kilner

Hallmark, 2002

Worthy prequel
"Christmas Box" is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I've been itching for the beautiful prequel "Timepiece" to come out. Told in the frame of reminiscence, this is the backstory of the dignified Mary Parkin of the other movie, and of her husband and daughter. Kevin Kilner is astonishingly good as David Parkin, the owner of a successful company during WW2. David is a bachelor with odd ...

Sommersby [VHS]

37 reviews
Richard Gere, Jodie Foster

Warner Home Video, 1994

My favorite movie of all time
When someoneone asks, "What is your favorite movie?' I say Sommersby. Some movies you forget as you dump the popcorn bucket on the way out of the movie theatre. Then, there are movies like Sommersby that stay with you for days, weeks and, yes, years later. I am writing this review because I came across this option as I was searching for Sommersby. I have to order a copy of this movie. I have to ...

Fantasia 2000 (Walt Disney Pictures Presents) [VHS]

171 reviews
James Levine, Steve Martin

Walt Disney Home Video, 2000

I wish they released it in Blu-ray
This is a must have if you like animated films, classical music, Beethoven, Respighi, Gershwin, Shostakovich, Saint-Saens, Stravinsky, etc. This is perhaps the best way to introduce a kid to classical music and the composers performed here. I'm not a fan of Disney myself; however, this is the most noble project they have ever done in my opinion. I hope they do it once more, maybe when 3D is the ...

Field of Dreams [VHS]

228 reviews
Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan

Universal Studios, 1999

Classic
I first watched this movie when it came out and enjoyed it from the beginning. Recently, we purchased the DVD and I watched it with my 13 year old daughter who is no fan of baseball. She sat enthralled with the movie which really surprised me. Yes, maybe it is not the most believable story line, but I believe that is what makes this movie so interesting. I am not a Kevin Costner fan, but he did ...

Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb [VHS]

466 reviews
Peter Sellers, George C. Scott

Sony Pictures, 1994

Satire doesn't get any better
Whenever i get sick of listening to politicians lying and talking double dutch constantly on the TV, i feel a satisfying antidote is to watch Dr. Strangelove. This film isn't politics as such, but hits the nail on the head of how people in power just can't see straight. worth watching once a year at least!

A Family Thing [VHS]

22 reviews
Robert Duvall, James Earl Jones

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

One Of My Favorites
I love this movie. It makes the post-Civil Rights era come alive for those who didn't live through it and stirs warm memories for those who did. The film is neither too sappy nor too rigid and James Earl Jones, Robert Duvall and Irma Hall fill their characters to the brim. Enjoy!

Sandlot 2 (P&S) [VHS]

65 reviews
Mike Antonakos, Neilen Benvegnu

20th Century Fox, 2005

Don't compare this to original. It stands on it's own.
My seven year old saw Sandlot 2 before the original Sandlot. He now thinks this is the first one and the original is Sandlot 2. Although the beast is still a driving factor in the story, the story itself is very different. Also, there are more kinds of children in this version, girls included. Sandlot 3 is equally impressive and stands on it's own too. All three Sandlots get five stars in ...

True Identity [VHS]

Lenny Henry, Frank Langella

Touchstone / Disney, 1994

WHEN WILL IT COME ON DVD IN ALL REGION & IN SPECIAL EDITION?!?!
when will this movie ever come out in a special edition format in all region!!?!?!?!?!THIS IS TRULY A COMEDY OF ALL COMEDY MOVIES.

Last Remake of Beau Geste [VHS]

12 reviews
Marty Feldman, Ann-Margret

Universal Studios, 1992

Brilliant Comedy by Underappreciated Genius
I hadn't seen this since it was released in the theaters in 1977 and not only does it hold up, it's funnier than I remembered it being. The story of twin brothers - Marty Feldman and Michael York - who end up in the French Foreign Legion, it's hysterical. Feldman is incredible with his comedic delivery, physical comedy, and directing. "The Escape" scene is five minutes long and funnier than most ...

Star Wars - Episode VI, Return of the Jedi [VHS]

Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford

20th Century Fox, 1995

Good fun with a little drama
"Return of the Jedi" is the third film in the Star Wars trilogy. In this movie the Empire is building a new Death Star and through informers the Rebels have found out how to destroy it. The Rebels decide to send a team out to destroy a machine on the forest moon of Endor that provides a force field for the Death Star in construction. Once the force field is gone Rebel ships will enter the Death ...

Coming to America [VHS]

153 reviews
Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall

Paramount, 1997

Great Product for the money
One for the library is "Coming to America" Which is one movie I've watched several times and get a kick each time I watch it. Blu-ray format gives that extra kick with beautiful color and sound. The movie in blu-ray is worth every penney.

Spike Jones, Helen Grayco

Paramount Home Video, 1991

Here's what's on it!
Not quite up there with 1 and 2, but if you liked those you'll want this sooner or later. Amazon doesn't list the numbers, so here they are: Cold Cold Heart I'm Getting Sentmental Over You Cocktails for Two (Feat. Hugh Herbert, Helen Grayco, Spike Jones, Jr., and Lauritz Melchior) That Old Black Magic (Feat. Billy Barty) Pop Goes the Weasel The Typewriter Song (Feat. Billy Barty as Liberace) (!) ...

No Surrender [VHS]

Michael Angelis, Avis Bunnage

Prism Entertainment Video

funniest movie you've never heard of
This is one of my all-time favorite black comedies, but very obscure. Ray McAnally (played the bishop in The Mission) and Bernard Hill (played the captain in Titanic) spar in an alice-in-wonderland nightmare night as catholic and protestant groups are booked simultaneous in a outskirts-urban nightclub in Ireland for New Years Eve. I think it's brilliant but I should warn you, I've played it for ...
