1.Don't Eat the Pictures: Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art starring: Carlo Alban, Alan Arkin, Paul Benedict, Larry Block, Lexine Bondoc directed by: Jim Henson, Jim Martin, Randall Balsmeyer, Victor DiNapoli, Ken Diego April 18, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.15
Best Sesame Street movie ever. It started my love for all things Egyptian, and for museums! I now work in one, and on my days off, I travel around going to other museums! This movie sparked my obsession. It is educational, and something no child will forget!

2.The Making of a Legend: Gone With the Wind starring: Christopher Plummer, L. Jeffrey Selznick, Arthur E. Arling, Katherine Brown, Arthur Fellows directed by: David Hinton September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.42
This film is superb. I've watched it over and over again. And it's every bit as good as GWTW. I'm sure that David Selznick taught his sons the art of film making and it's obvious. One will only be as good as his teacher. A must for every film buff. Carolyn Kingsley, author of The Citrus Baron A family saga of old Florida

3.Visions of Light: Art of Cinematography starring: Néstor Almendros, John Bailey, Stephen H. Burum, Michael Chapman, Allen Daviau directed by: Todd McCarthy, Stuart Samuels April 12, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.94
I had seen this film in two different Media classes in college, and fell in love with it. I'm so glad I was able to find it on Amazon, and the vendor I bought it from was prompt in getting it to me. The product was unopened, which made it that much better of a purchase--because I got to unwrap it, in order to watch it. Thanks very much.

4.Sister Wendy's Story of Painting starring: Sister Wendy Beckett September 23, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.21
I only used the first video in the collection with my students, but they really liked it. Sister Wendy is facinating to them because of her looks and sarcasm. (Most of my students were inner city kids) They loved. I do advise that you view it first, since in the last 3 minutes of the video she shows a Limborg brothers work that the men have no underpants (although they look like cow udders! Not appropriate for kids.) I just cut it off there when they were watching. They always begged me to see what it was. I even had a couple of kids who checked it out from the public library to see it. They said it was no big deal and we should have just watched it...

5.Empire of the Air - The Men Who Made Radio starring: Jason Robards, Red Barber, Erik Barnouw, Ken Bilby, Norman Corwin directed by: Ken Burns February 18, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.26
I was deeply saddened by the total ommission of Nikola Tesla from this show about the radio. It is inconceivable that not once is the guy who actually invented wireless mentioned. Very shoddy research. Tesla was awarded all of the patents that Marconi had tried to steal from Tesla, and as everyone knows, Lee Deforest was a hack and who basically stole most of his ideas from Armstrong. Thank God Burns didn't do a show about Edison being a genius or I would have had a stroke.

7.When the Lion Roars 1 starring: Patrick Stewart, Lew Ayres, Joseph Barbera, Freddie Bartholomew, Ernest Borgnine directed by: Frank Martin September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.28
This is a must-have for any classic movie buff. It gives inside information on the way the studio was run, some of the greatest actors and actresses of all time and gives some insight into the downfall of the studio era. I hope this is released on DVD at some time in the near future. They certainly don't make stars or movies like that anymore!

8.Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: Don't Eat the Pictures from: Random House Home Video 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
Because of this amazing movie, I have always had a deep and enduring love of fine art and museums. I was the only five year-old who was able to identify Paul Cezanne's work on sight, and who begged her mother at the age of ten to see the Temple of Dendur when they visited New York City. Seti can be a little frightening for small children, mostly because of the crazy makeup, thunderous voice, and portentous music whenever he's mentioned, but I loved this so much as a child, I would simply watch with a blanket to put over my head when he appears at the end.

9.Art of Western World 1-4 starring: Host May 19, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $69.95
I teach art history and art appreciation. For years I have been using this series in class. It is about as sexy a documentary series as I have ever used. The filming (on location) is beautiful and Michael Wood's enthusiasm is contagious.

10.The Definitive Dali, A Lifetime Retrospective starring: Dali S-Lifetime Retr October 22, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.49
This is a very good, very straight forward bio of the famous surrealist, with subtitles (thank goodness). While his life was fascinating, the film makers spend just as much time looking at the commercial side of Dali as well. Nicely balanced presentation, but not perfect.
