1.Native Son (1986) starring: Victor Love, Matt Dillon, Elizabeth McGovern, Geraldine Page, Oprah Winfrey directed by: Jerrold Freedman November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.49
I understand the perspectives of the other online-reviewers; however, being an English teacher, I have found this video to be quite beneficial and complimentary in assisting me and helping my students to understand the characterization and themes in Native Son. It is not an outstanding performance; however, it does offer a color cinematic version, while having actors that are recongnizable to a younger generation. I do not believe that many outstanding novels can ever really be properly and accurately portryaed on film; that is really a daunting task for directors, writers, and producers. To this date, I can only say that The Color Purple has actually achieved cinematic success, due in large part to the creative genius of Steven Spielberg. That is a rarity. However, ... Read More

2.The Color Purple starring: Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Avery, Willard E. Pugh directed by: Steven Spielberg January 14, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This movie has so many different aspects in it that I wanted to study it. I have seen it on tv, but there is so many deep messages in it that I wanted to study it. It is consumed with American culture- especially from the black perspective. Several times I have discussed things in the movie with my black friends.

3.Oprah: Make the Connection starring: Vivica A. Fox, Caterina Scorsone, Mark Consuelos, Justin Louis, Jennifer Dale directed by: Holly Dale September 30, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I rented this video from library. This video is excellent and by far the best weight loss guide have ever seen. I was extremely moved by this video. Anyone who wants to lose weight should watch this video. Not just for practical and true tips, but the way it stirs your soul and your inner self. The way Oprah delivers the message is very touching. No preaching here, just plain true stuff. Have bought 8 videos, and given to all loved ones who are trying to lose weight. A must watch for sure.

4.About Us: Dignity of Children starring: Steven Parenago, Oprah Winfrey May 16, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.30
Even ABC and Oprah have distanced themselves from this 'documentary' that was put out by ABC's entertainment division in 1997. On January 12, 2007, ABC's own program, 20/20, revealed evidence that Anthony Godby Johnson (the young boy dying of AIDS in "About Us: The Dignity of Children") was a fictional creation. One of the shows producers, Leslie Karsten, appeared to have contributed to the cover up of the fictional character of Anthony Godby Johnson by making the following reference to Anthony when questioned about the veracity of his existence, "I am Momma, and he is the gift of my life." How ABC could have permitted the cast list to include the voice of Anthony Godby Johnson who a voice analysis expert identified to be that of Vicki Johnson, a woman who claimed to be his adoptive mother, is baffling.

5.Beloved (1998) starring: Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise, Beah Richards directed by: Jonathan Demme November 02, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.24
Tell me what you think of this plot: A child comes back to life to confront the mother who cut her throat, only she is a grown woman, but still talks like a child. Meanwhile this so-called ghost manages to seduce her mother's "boyfriend" who has come back after 18 years. The ghost manages to get pregnant by him. Then the "ghost", totally naked and pregnant is brought out on the front porch by her mother and disappears in a couple of minutes when a group of church ladies start chanting and singing spiritual songs from the road in front of the house. Then the mother goes into depression for having lost the child that has come back to her and her other daughter goes to work for rich white folks to support herself and her mother. That's Beloved in a nutshell. And let's not forget another ghost that you don't ... Read More

Be it giving birth, cuddling, powdering your baby or even the not as lovely task of changing poo-poo'd diapers, Oprah has it all down, all her bases covered and all of her t's crossed and i's dotted. Are you sensing my awe and ecstatic glee of all things Oprah here, people? You should be! Whatever she touches is instant gold and this tape is no different! If this is sold out don't wait -- go and get it from your closest video retailer. If someone in front of you in line has the last copy gouge out their eyes with your thumbs and take theirs -- they won't need it anylonger and you will be happy that you did!

I originally watched this as a series years ago on ABC if i recall correctly. And I love it now just as I loved it then. Oprah Winfrey, Lonette McKey, Cicely Tyson, Robin Givens, Jackee', Lynn Whitfield, they all were superb! A great add to your collection if you like movies like dramas such as this that has a good plot and ending...
