2.Roots 6 Video Box Set starring: LeVar Burton, Tina Andrews, Grand L. Bush, Henry Butts, Brooks Clift directed by: David Greene, Gilbert Moses, John Erman, Marvin J. Chomsky December 12, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $20.00
Perhaps the most famous TV miniseries of all time. Played for eight straight evenings in January of 1977. The country practically came to a halt during that time slot every evening. Over 130 million views tuned in to watch this amazing story of Alex Haley's family's roots and history. It has been translated into 28 languages since. While the story and technology may seem a little outdated today (how can it not?), this is one story worth watching to gain a better understanding our country's history and where we have come from. In many ways it is the story of our nation from the days of slavery through the great struggles for freedom for all. Kunta Kinte is the main character who was captured and forced into slavery as a young man and brought to America. Perhaps the most poignant moment in the ... Read More

3.House of Dark Shadows starring: Jonathan Frid, Grayson Hall, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Roger Davis, Nancy Barrett directed by: Dan Curtis September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $23.90
I read recently on a Dark Shadows convention website that the 2 Dark Shadows films will soon be released on a double DVD, both restored! Dark Shadows is one of the best TV shows ever(IMOHO). Dan Curtis made a HUUUUGE mistake in the 'House of Dark Shadows' movie by killing off nearly the entire Collins clan. i think that maybe he was tired of it all, and had no idea of the cult-like following that would develop around this series. Too bad.

4.The Story of Ruth starring: Stuart Whitman, Tom Tryon, Peggy Wood, Viveca Lindfors, Jeff Morrow directed by: Henry Koster March 15, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.51
The Story of Ruth, with a cast including Stuart Whitman, Tom Tryon, Peggy Wood, and Viveca Lindfors is an excellent film if you want to learn more about biblical stories. This film develops during the times when due to famine in Bethlehem, a family is forced to move to Moab, a nearby country where the people do not hold the same beliefs and idolatrize a man made god. The family is formed by Elimelech, his wife Naomi and their two sons Mahlon and Chilion; who upon arrival at Moab, open a small business working as artisans for the ruling class. While they are Jews, both sons end up marrying Moabite women: Chilion marries Orpah and Mahlon marries Ruth. As a child, Ruth was exchanged for money by poor parents who were struggling to survive hard times. The Moab priest takes Ruth in and ... Read More

5.Night of Dark Shadows starring: David Selby, Grayson Hall, Kate Jackson, Lara Parker, John Karlen directed by: Dan Curtis September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $32.95
Those that are not fans of Dark Shadows will never see the "Dan Curtis" creativity in this movie. The late Dan Curtis was like a Gene Roddenberry when it came to daytime horror drama. Underappreciated and never quite understood, he made us love to be scared. Night of Dark Shadows, gives David Selby and Kate Jackson (a very young Kate Jackson) a chance to standout on their own from the other cast members in their own movie. David Selby is quite versital and shows that he can portray more than one character and personality within a movie. Kate's role is unfortunately limited to just being suspicious and scared all the time. The plot is definately done in Curtis' style, moving quickly through the layers of suspense. Panned as one of the worst movies -- I don't think so -- you gotta be a fan to appreciate ... Read More

6.The Amazing Spider-Man (1977) starring: Nicholas Hammond, David White, Lisa Eilbacher, Michael Pataki, Thayer David directed by: E.W. Swackhamer August 14, 1986
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.55
I saw this years ago and the series is hard to get. Even though the acting and sound effects sound horrible, its still a classic.

7.House Calls starring: Walter Matthau, Glenda Jackson, Art Carney, Richard Benjamin, Candice Azzara directed by: Howard Zieff July 13, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.69
Good period movie with fine performances by Mattau and Glenda Jackson. Mattau plays a Doctor who must choose between empty relationships with young sexpots or a good older woman. Guess who wins. Good representation of films of that era.

8.Roots 3 starring: LeVar Burton, Tina Andrews, Grand L. Bush, Henry Butts, Brooks Clift directed by: David Greene, Gilbert Moses, John Erman, Marvin J. Chomsky May 03, 1993
