1.Holocaust (The Mini-Series) starring: Meryl Streep, Michael Moriarty, James Woods directed by: Marvin J. Chomsky 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.43
I saw the miniseries HOLOCAUST as a child. I couldn't believe that people could be so cruel. I never forgot it. I also remember the heroism. You know, it really is an uplifting film. I lent the tape to a teacher friend of mine, and her students got it. They asked questions. They wanted to learn more about this period in history. They wanted to know more about man's inhumanity to man. I'm going to keep lending that tape. I want people to learn.

2.Inside the Third Reich starring: Rutger Hauer, John Gielgud, Maria Schell, Blythe Danner, Trevor Howard directed by: Marvin J. Chomsky September 15, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $25.85
This movie is one of my favorites. It runs 4 hours so you have to have time available to view it all. The show starts out showing some of the horrors of the holocaust and some of the death and destruction caused by World War II. Let the squeamish beware. No question, this miniseries comes from the early-1980's and is limited by special effects and budget available at the time. By comparison, "Hitler: The Rise of Evil," from 2003, is as good if not better. Still, if one pays attention to the main story and the performances given by the many featured actors, "Inside the Third Reich" is worth anyone's time. The cast is a star-studded one. Rutger Hauer plays Albert Speer and John Gielgud plays his father. Derek Jacobi is Adolph Hitler and Blythe Danner plays Speer's wife, ... Read More

3.The Deliberate Stranger starring: Mark Harmon, Frederic Forrest, George Grizzard, Ben Masters, Glynnis O'Connor directed by: Marvin J. Chomsky June 14, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $39.99
PLOT: Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy~ he nailed this performance~ excellent portait of Ted the man with charm and looks enough to fool JUST about everyone~ very good detailed. Ted Bundy was charming and was headed to law school. He loved women and women loved him~ his charm, wit, very empathetic and most of all handsome looks made him stand out~ but his superior IQ all gave him the means to vent his Psychopathic personality and be very successful at serial killing. The actual number is still (some believe over 100 in 6 or more states)... BUT in "this" version about 20 girls over many years (1974-1978) were succesfully killed by TED~ why his own friends believe him innocent~ Ted has the charm to have girl friends and be fairly nice to them~ they fall in love with his charm and looks~ but some where ...

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.78
My order (movie) came very quickly and was in excellent condition! The movie is true. It is long, but worth the time. Amy Irving is excellent as usual.

5.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: $11.95
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 movie is where he has refused ... Read More

8.Robert Kennedy & His Times starring: Brad Davis, Veronica Cartwright, Cliff De Young, Ned Beatty, Beatrice Straight directed by: Marvin J. Chomsky May 30, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
Brad Davis gives an uncannily believable and realistic performance as Robert Kennedy in this sentimental but mostly accurate film that does a great deal to capture both RFK and the spirit and political climate of the 1960's. A great film for anyone who needs a flavor for the man, or the times in which he lived. G.D. Spradlin puts in a strong performance as Lyndon Johnson, whom the Kennedys viewed as an illegitmate usurper in the wake of JFK's assassination -- the tension between the two camps is faithfully recreated. Ned Beatty is passable as the Kennedy-hating J. Edgar Hoover, but Jack Warden and Cliff de Young are horribly miscast as Joe Kennedy, Sr. and JFK, respectively. Warden frankly doesn't look the part and fails to convey the domineering influence Old Joe had over his sons until the stroke that left him ... Read More

9.Holocaust (The Mini-Series) (SP mode) starring: Tom Bell, Joseph Bottoms, Tovah Feldshuh, Marius Goring, Rosemary Harris directed by: Marvin J. Chomsky February 21, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.82
I remember watching this when I was a junior high student. It was the first I had heard of the horrible fate of six million European Jews under Hitler's Nazi Europe. It was so moving and heartbreaking that I remember crying several times. When I visited the Holocaust museum in Washington, D.C., one of the curators told me that this series really gave Americans their first realistic glimpse of Jewish life in Nazi Germany I watched it again and was still incredibly moved. The Family Weiss is the story of many families in 1930's Germany, Josef, the kind hearted doctor, heads the family, his wife Berta, the strong musically gifted mother, Karl, the shy sensitive artist so in love with his Christian wife Inga, Rudi the hotheaded athlete just coming into manhood and finally teenager Anna. Paralleling the lives of the ... Read More
