Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition)

248 reviews
William Holden, Gloria Swanson

Paramount, 2002

Hollywoodland
I just watched "Sunset Boulevard" for the first time. I absolutley loved it. I usually stay away from "black and white" movies, considering they are not from my generation. The only other old movies I've seen are "To Kill A Mockingbird", and parts of "It's a Wonderful Life". This one interested me because I work in the entertainment industry and I like movies about Hollywood. "Sunset ...

Casablanca

Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman

Warner Home Video, 2000

As Time Goes By . . .
. . . This film simply gets better and better. How can it miss with such a cast? Not only Humphrey Bogart as Rick and Ingrid Bergman as Ilse, but also the ensemble group of minor characters. Who can forget oily-voiced Peter Lorre smuggling the letters of transit? Or rotund Sidney Greenstreet swatting flies at the Blue Parrot? My very favorite, however, is Claude Raines as Louis, the (lovably) ...

Lawrence of Arabia (Single Disc Edition)

378 reviews
John Dimech, José Ferrer

Columbia Pictures, 2002

An Unlikely Masterpiece
I find it amazing this movie was ever made. A three-and-a-half hour epic about a strange, masochistic, messianic, probably gay, possibly mentally disturbed British military officer having an identity crisis while going native & riding a camel back and forth in the desert in the wrong theater of a major war. I wonder how David Lean pitched this thing to Columbia Studios in the first place. ...

Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939

Clark Gable, Thomas Mitchell

Warner Home Video, 2004

Gone With the Wind
Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939 Excellent movie, excellent price. I got it for free shipping, but it took almost two weeks to get to me. I think it is worth the extra few bucks to get stuff sooner.

Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)

691 reviews
Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten

Turner Home Ent, 2001

The best film ever?
It's the best I've ever seen. Why? Because it enters a world of psychology in a unique and powerful way. It exposes the selfish tyrant that lies in all of us. Do we not all do what we do for "I?" What drives us to be what we become? What is our most basic need, our most primal desire? This film deals with these things in a visceral experience of entertainment. This film had to be quite ...

Singin' in the Rain (Two-Disc Special Edition)

327 reviews
Cyd Charisse, Mae Clarke

Warner Home Video, 2002

One of the Ten Greatest Films ever!
I am not going to try to reiterate all of the laudatory reviews from other customers. But I will restate the claims of many who regard SITR as one of the ten best films ever made. Without a doubt it is, and that includes all types of films. Yes, the very theme of the film is a little "corny." but so was the era it portrays - when movies were "king" and the industry was in a tremendous state of ...

Some Like It Hot

245 reviews
Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

CLASSIC FILM WITH A NICE NEW DVD UPGRADE!
I bought the new collector's edition of 'Some Like It Hot' a few months ago and I am just getting around to watching it. The film is a classic with Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe in top form with help from a great cast of character actors. This Billy Wilder film has held up really well and now it's got a worthy release. The new 2 disc edition sports a ton of extras and a fantastic print and transfer!

Roman Holiday (Special Collector's Edition)

168 reviews
Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn

Paramount, 2002

"I could do some of the things I've always wanted to."
Princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn) is tired of the royal life. She is required to behave in such a silly way and she has no time to enjoy herself. She visits city after city without any real change of scenery and she's tired of it. No one in her employ will help her achieve any excitement, so she takes matters into her own hands and escapes. Reporter Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck) finds her, and ...

The Maltese Falcon Three-Disc Special Edition (1941 & 1931 versions / Satan Met a Lady)

173 reviews
Bette Davis, Warren William

Warner Home Video, 2006

the stuff that dreams are made of!
This movie is inimitable. Terse, convoluted, gritty, and satirical. The scenes of this movie pack a visceral punch rarely matched in classic Hollywood movies. The plot is confusing, if not incomprehensible at times. However, the basics are pretty straightforward. Sam Spade is a private eye working in San Fransisco with his partner. One afternoon a beautiful, malevolent women walks into ...

Groucho Marx, Chico Marx

Warner Home Video, 2004

A very funny time waching these movies
Kick off your shoes and plan to stay awhile for a laughen good time. you won't be disappointed as you watch the crazy goinging ons. You see the Marx brothers are very sincere about their plans but how they go about it will leave you howling in your seat, looking forward to seeing the next movie. So if you are blue, need a pick up or just love the Marxs brothers as I do purchase this collection. a ...

On the Waterfront (Special Edition)

157 reviews
Martin Balsam, Don Blackman

Sony Pictures, 2001

A Richly Deserved Reputation
This is truly one of the American cinema's greatest films. A splendid cast, anchored by the breathtaking performance of Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy, gives it their passionate best with results that deserve accolades all around. A word about the political context of the film, which is often not known by younger generations of viewers - Elia Kazan, who directed and wrote the original story, ...

A Streetcar Named Desire (Two-Disc Special Edition)

120 reviews
Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando

Warner Home Video, 2006

Stunning
I continue to be impressed by young Brando. I grew up hearing how much an acting genius Brando was in his hey day and I thought for the most part he was over-rated. Course, I was coming from the angle of the older Brando. Now after watching On the Waterfront and now Streetcar, I've been more than blown away. Brando absolutely deserves his accolades. In streetcar, he plays Stanley to the tee. ...

Bogie and Bacall - The Signature Collection (The Big Sleep / Dark Passage / Key Largo / To Have and Have Not)

23 reviews
Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall

Warner Home Video, 2006

Chemistry!
My favorite's are Dark Passage and Key Largo but The Big Sleep and To Have and Have Not are wonderful too. I can watch them over and over again.

The African Queen [IMPORT]

Theodore Bikel, Humphrey Bogart

Castaway Nw UK, 2006

African Queen - Hong Kong Import
I saw absolutely nothing wrong with this version of the classic African Queen. I had been waiting for Hollywood to release this movie and had trepidations about buying a "foreign version". This turned out to be no problem, and I don't have to wait for Hollywood to get their head out of their ... well you know.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Two-Disc Special Edition)

124 reviews
Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston

Warner Home Video, 2003

Life altering film
I'm embarrassed to say that "Treasure of Sierra Madre" changed my life. I saw it as a child and was enchanted by three American ex-pats kicking around in Mexico and searching for Mexican treasure. By the age of 21 I was spending every other weekend in Baja and Sonora and did so for years. Since then, I've spent a lot more time there, bought a home in Jalisco and am, even now, living directly ...

Essential Classic Musicals

Warner Home Video, 2007

Simply Marvelous
Found this great collection while looking for "Singin' in the Rain"...with Gene Kelly. Forgot how truly wonderful "Gigi" was too! And of course "My Fair Lady" is awesome! Without a doubt we were shocked to find three separate discs and beautiful packaging....too! Great bargain....too!

An Affair To Remember (50th Anniversary Edition)

129 reviews
Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr

20th Century Fox, 2008

A classic
A classic that cannot be remade...even though they tried. Great acting and great overall movie.

This purchase was for a family members birthday. She received all the DVD's and was happy and satisfied.

Chinatown (Special Collector's Edition)

221 reviews
Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway

Paramount Home Video, 2007

One of the greatest films of all time, and one of Nicholson's best too
This is a film you absolutely need to see at least twice. The first time through you'll be gasping for air, trying to keep up with the twists and turns in the plot. The second time through, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Those willing to view it again and again will find more and more to love in this amazingly dense but satisfying film. Jack Nicholson is perfect in the lead role, ...
