Good Will Hunting 412 reviews
Robin Williams, Matt Damon
Miramax, 1998
Original and touching
Where do you start with such a wonderfully crafted story with an amazing cast.
A janitor (Matt Damon) at a college is discovered to be mathematically gifted by a highly acclaimed mathmetician at the college and is pressed to use his talent.
But Matt fights the approach because he's afraid of the unknown and doesn't want to leave his comfort zone of his friends, and unchallenging job. After ...

Aladdin 237 reviews
Scott Weinger, Robin Williams
Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 1993
Spectacular Edition to one of the Funniest Movies I've Seen!
Sure, there are the classics like CINDERELLA and SLEEPING BEAUTY. There are Pixar marvels like WALL-E and FINDING NEMO (which I adore). But for me, the real golden age of Disney came during the time when Alan Menken made animated musicals. POCHAHONTAS, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, THE LITTLE MERMAID, and ALADDIN are some. These are the real Disney classics.
I recieved this as an unexpected ...

Robin Williams - Live at the Met 10 reviews

Lions Gate/Vestron, 1993
Robin Williams at his Best
This is Robin Williams at his Best. The Visuals are extremely funny. Along with his humorous interpretations of daily life, and how a child sees their world. I would love to see Robin Williams-Live at the Met on DVD. This DVD would make a great addition to any Library.

Promise (1978)45 reviews
Kathleen Quinlan, Stephen Collins
Universal Studios, 2001
Adulation loves company!
The Promise is my all-time favorite romantic movie. My wife's, too. Our copy cost us $95.00, and it's worth every penny! This is a low budget, unknown stars (at the time), movie with such a great story that nothing else matters. For years, I've been furious with Leonard Maltin for the scathing review his staff wrote for this priceless film. I truly believe that none of them actually watched ...

Mrs Doubtfire - Behind the Seams Edition
I have always liked the movie. One line that Robin Williams has to do with not buying gribnis from my moyel. I found out what that meant today. Gribnis is pork rinds. Moyel or mohal is a Rabbi or doctor that does circumcision. I think if you like funny this is the movie.

FernGully - The Last Rainforest67 reviews

20th Century Fox, 1992
Fern Gully
The DVD Fern Gully has long been a favorite in my household. Both children, now in college, enjoyed it and still do. This recent purchase was a replacement copy. The message of "Fern Gully" becomes increasingly more important as we continue to defile this planet: conservation, respect, friendship. Not only does it have several interwoven life message but the overall story is well-written and ...

Little Bill - I Love Animals 6 reviews
Xavier Pritchett, Gregory Hines
Paramount, 2002
'Toon that treats preschoolers with respect!
I can't imagine what the other "reviewers" have been watching. This video-length compilation from the Nick Jr. show is outstanding in its simple storytelling of the wonder and magic of childhood. Little Bill (voiced by Xavier Pritchard) is an engaging little tyke with an infectiously genuine giggle. His pet hamster, Elephant, is his confident and privy to the boy's whimsical "flights of fantasy". ...

Little Bill - Me and My Family4 reviews

Wonderful family video!!
Bill Cosby has done it again!! This video is a real winner!! My 2 1/2 year old son asks to watch this tape everyday. Barney used to have exclusive rule in our house but now he has to share the stage with Little Bill. It is wonderful seeing Little Bill interact with the rest of his family while delivering important life messages that even young children can absorb. My 10 year old son also enjoys ...

It doesn't get any better than Little Bill!
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Bill Cosby for creating such a wonderful series of books and videos. Last year while pregnant with our first child I began to look for books and videos that were educational and entertaining which she could watch. So we were quite ecstatic when we came across Little Bill one Saturday morning (Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. Channel 2). Since that day we have ...

Suprising
All the Disney DTV sequels--or, as we sometimes refer to them in our homes, "cheap-quels"--have been bad. Or horrible. My problem with most of them is not actually with the movie itself, but with the all-but-inevitable leeching off of the original. Continuing a story that's already resolved or telling the same story as the first one are the M.O. for your average cheapquel--not remotely ...

Woman in Black (1989)137 reviews
Adrian Rawlins, Bernard Hepton
Bfs Entertainment, 1998
Quietly and genuinely terrifying.
Herbert Wise's "The Woman in Black" is not a particularly well-known horror film, yet there are nearly 140 reviews of it on this Web site. That gives you an idea of the impact this DVD has on anyone who has ever seen it. It begins and proceeds quietly, it contains no gore, it would bore the life out of people whose idea of a great horror film is "Hostel" or "Saw." Yet for those viewers who ...

Great movie, bit of a chick flick, Will make you laugh
I've always been a fan of Robin Williams. He's managed to make many many great movies. This being one of his best ever.
Working in the medical field myself for many years I've always been partial to good movies like these that relate to what I do. People in hospital don't want to be there thus making them laugh helps them to feel better about the problems before them.
People have remorked ...

The World According to Garp57 reviews

Warner Home Video, 1998
In the top 10
This movie is one of my top 10 favorites. If you have ever read any of John Irving's books then you will love this film. Although it doesn't compare to the book it is a great film full of lust, comedy, tragedy, well-developed characters, and great acting. It portrays sex in a very real light.

Little Bill- What I Did at School
We love the Little Bill video. My son is 3 and he can watch the video over and over without getting tired of the story line. The story lines are simplistic yet are relevant to preschoolers. I agree with another writer that Little Bill's character is five, but he appeals more to preschoolers. I highly recommend the Little Bill series.
