Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Special Edition) from Columbia Tri-Star Price: $22.46 Customer Review: From the moment you see King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his trusty aide Patsy (Terry Gilliam) ride out of the fog at the beginning of Holy Grail (I won't spoil the joke, it's one of the best), you know it's going to be on of those films. By "those", of course, i mean films that are consistently... |

I, Claudius from Image Entertainment Price: $71.99 Customer Review: I, Claudius, Robert Graves' great book about the Caesars, was brought to television in this BBC series starring Derek Jacobi as the crippled, stuttering Emperor Claudius, narrator of the story. Jacobi is brillian in this role - going from young boy to old man as the series progresses. Other... |

Princess Mononoke from Miramax Price: $28.04 Customer Review: Princess Mononoke is a nearly perfect anime, with brilliant visuals, dramatic but not distracting computer graphics, a great story which is not horribly compressed but allowed to unfold naturally in 134 minutes, and amazingly, a very good english version. This is the way every anime should be... |

Koyaanisqatsi / Powaqqatsi (2 Pack) from MGM/UA Video Price: $22.49 Customer Review: I can not speak for the DVD as I currently only own the VHS versions of both Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi. I first saw Baraka back in the 90s in the theater in its original 70mm glory and was absolutely blown away. Years later I stumbled across Koyaanisqatsi in a now defunct Blockbuster Video... |

A Hard Day's Night from Miramax Entertainment Price: $22.49 Customer Review: This is a great movie. A piece of history that everyone remotely connected to or interested in western culture should see. The great Roger Ebert said it best, "One of the great life-affirming landmarks of the movies". I still love the scene where Paul's grandfather pops up during "She Loves You"- a... |

The Battle of Algiers - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $37.46 Customer Review: This film was released in the late sixties at the same time the U.S. was getting involved with Vietnam and the similarities are obvious. This is an emotional film which should be seen by all people(except young children). It's use of black and white film, documentary style look, non-professional... |

Akira Kurosawa - 4 Samurai Classics (Seven Samurai / The Hidden Fortress / Yojimbo / Sanjuro) - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $74.96 Customer Review: I bought this as a "blind buy" at Best Buy. I had never seen any of the 4 films and had about 100 dollars in my pocket. I had been wanting to see "Seven Samurai" for the longest time but could never find it. I saw that my local Best Buy actually had a few copies and immediately picked it up. I was... |

La Dolce Vita (2-Disc Collector's Edition) from Koch Lorber Films Price: $26.24 Customer Review: My favorite Fellini film, combining the brilliant kaleidescopic parading of faces that characterize his later films with the humanistic neorealism of his earlier work. Told in a series of all-night parties that each end with the recognition of dawn, the movie tells the story of a tabloid writer who... |

The Importance of Being Earnest from Buena Vista Home Vid Price: $10.49 Customer Review:  not that it isn't enjoyable to watch, but its weaknesses are glaring. The main fault has to lie with the director, who didn't keep a tight rein on the story line, tried to introduce modern day stream of consciousness scenes which didn't seem to belong with a plot of Wilde's at all, and who chose... |

Before Sunrise from Castle Rock Price: $11.24 Customer Review: So I was reading through the reviews and noticed that almost everyone has stumbled onto this movie by accident. Lol. I remember I saw this on The Movie Channel- I think, on June 16th. The only reason why I remember that date was because that's when Jesse and Celine were suppose to meet in six... |

Caligula (Unrated Version) from Image Entertainment Price: $22.49 Customer Review: This movie is a masterpiece in that it accomplishes what it set out to do: to depict decadent, pagan Rome circa 37 AD. I cringed throughout the FIRST VIEWING, unsure what to expect, fearing revulsion in each scene. The SECOND VIEWING was better, I knew what to expect: a simple plot about unchecked... |

Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Special Edition) from Columbia Tri-Star Price: $14.96 Customer Review: I would have loved to been a fly on the wall when the producers of "Dr. Strangelove" tried to sell it to the studio. "Well, you see, guys, this film is about worldwide Armageddon. This Air Force general goes nuts because he thinks the Russians are sapping his semen with flouride, and he sends his... |

Fanny and Alexander (Special Edition Five-Disc Set) - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $44.96 Customer Review: While Bergman films usually make me want to stick my head in the gas oven, (even during the opening credits) "Fanny and Alexander" is completely different. This is a funny, touching and sometimes fanciful film about the childhood of a boy (Alexander, said to be Ingmar himself) and his sister Fanny.... |

Anne of Green Gables from Uav Corporation Price: $26.24 Customer Review: This is the first and the finest of all the Anne movies.

First, I want to make clear, despite being over 3 hours long, you won't bored for a second. The beautiful scenery, the superb... |
