VHS : Little Lord Fauntleroy
Bought the original VHS copy in 1980. Have all but worn it out. Have been searching for another copy only to find that later versions are shorter in length. This version, with Rickey Schroeder and Alec Guiness, needs to be on DVD in the original full length. Loaned it to many friends and received the same review by all ages.

2.Out of Africa starring: Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Michael Kitchen, Malick Bowens

VHS : Out of Africa
Out of Africa
The story of a Danish woman (Meryl Streep) who finds herself running a farm in Africa from 1913 after her husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) decides to opt out for the life of a hunter. The first half is brilliantly
paced and immaculately acted, but the greatness rather drifts away in the second half, somewhat aided by Robert Redford, who just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the film. Streep and her Danish accent are amazing, while Brandauer, Suzanna Hamilton, Michael Kitchen and Michael Gough offer really first-rate support. Intelligently scripted and beautifully shot on location by David Watkin, Out of Africa proves a moving, stimulating and entertaining experience. Winner of SEVEN ACADEMY AWARDS, including Best Film and Best Director.

VHS : Deja Vu
(Note: This review was written by my wife, Laura...)

You will instantly be drawn into this beautiful film as the lives of two strangers become interwoven in a magical dance of the soul. How does one choose between a stable, comfortable life and another life that is filled with true love but tainted with uncertainty?

This movie seeks to answer this question as these two strangers are ripped between what their mind wants and is conditioned to want by friends, family, and society, and what their soul desires in this rich display of poetic vulnerability and undeniable synchronicities.

As a result, there are some turns in this movie that challenge conventional views about love and marriage. Depending on how strongly you identify with a strict moral code, ... Read More

VHS : P.D. James - The Black Tower
The Black Tower is one of my favorite PD James novels. I love the way that James uses dialogue by supporting characters to make one reflect on what Dalgliesh's inner thoughts and feelings might be. This novel has some particularly cutting commentary about disability and how that affects one's perception of oneself and relationships, and some discomforting reflections on the uncomfortability of the physically able in the presence of the disabled and their (the physically able) need to de-sexualize the disabled and aged. This is one of the novels where we see Dalgliesh at his most introspective. He is questioning himself and his profession and has resolved to leave the force and stop being a detective.

However, the ITV version of Black Tower loses all of this. It is only a detective ... Read More

VHS : Elizabeth R
Glenda Jackson gives the performance of her life as the Virgin Queen. Far superior than any big screen treatment devoted to the life of Elizabeth I, this excellent British mini-series is at once historically accurate and highly entertaining. Costumes are spectacular and sets authentic-looking, but it is the superb writing (much of it culled from the historical record) and inspired acting that conspire to bring the past vividly to life. The Tudor Court supplies an endless stream of plot-twists: factions, rebellions, rivalries, tortures, beheadings, murders, suicides, romances, diplomacy, treachery, war--you name it. An hour and a half in length, each episode is a movie unto itself. My one complaint is that the French are caricatured, and Catholics are portrayed as effeminate, mad, or downright evil.

I ordered this DVD from Amazon, and it arrived in about 2 days. Fast shipping is always appreciated. The DVD was in excellent condition, and the movie is just as wonderful as I remembered. I was very pleased with the whole transaction.
