1.Pride & Prejudice (1995) (6pc) (Coll Box) starring: Saw December 23, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.19
This is by far the best version of "Pride and Prejudice". I believe I have seen every one of them and none compares. Laurence Olivier was great of course as Darcy, but Colin Firth has completely captured the character. I doubt that any one will ever be able to portray Darcy better. I am extremely satified that I purchased the 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition even though I all ready had the original DVD of the same produecton. It is definitely well worth the price. I strongly recommend it to every one. The DVDs come in a beautifully designed case, and I thoroughly enjoyed the accompanying behind-the-scenes disc. Even though Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were busy making other movies and could not be on it, the remaining cast members were very entertaining. The accompanying ... Read More

2.Agatha Christie's Miss Marple Collection 2 (VHS Boxed Set) starring: Joan Hickson, Paul Eddington, Cheryl Campbell, Robert Lang (II), Polly Adams directed by: Julian Amyes, David Tucker, Norman Stone September 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.26
On my TV set with my DVD player all of the discs looked and sounded fine. I enjoy Helen Hayes for being Helen Hayes and Margaret Rutherford for being Margaret Rutherford but for Agatha Christies Miss Marple Jane Hickson wins hands down. I have tried only one of the latest British entry and she, too, appears quite able but Ms. Hickson has set the standard for authenticity (which, quite legitimately, was not the objective of Ms. Hayes or Ms. Rutherford). To one who has never been to the UK, the settings seem quite fitting to the time and place, the stories well told, the acting first rate, and the manner appealing. The last has become quite important to me over the years; I mean by it the minimization of actual violence, the emphasis on character and story, not on split second action, and ... Read More

3.A&E Biography - William Shakespeare: Life of Drama (1996) starring: Biography February 25, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.38
I'm a High school drama teacher and while doing a lesson on Shakespeare I bought this video to teach the kids about Shakespeare's life. It has a lot of great information and it doesn't dumb it down (if you get what I mean). Its not just a biography of the events in Shakespeare's life, it looks at him as a man and explores how events in his life triggered his creative process. There is a lot of great commentary from well respected scholars and classical actors and directors. Great teaching tool for anyone trying to make Shakespeare cool.

4.George Gershwin Remembered (An American Masters Program) starring: Harold Arlen, Fred Astaire, Leonard Bernstein, Anne Brown, Irving Caesar December 23, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.79
Anyone who loves George Gershwin and his memorable masterpieces will be enthralled with this walk through his life. I highly recommend it.

5.Christmas at the Biltmore Estate starring: Judy Collins September 04, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.85
WOW.....What a voice. What a story teller. What a choice of songs. This is the ultimate Christmas Music DVD. Judy Collins is a class act. This is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend it.

6.Testament of Youth (4pc) starring: Cheryl Campbell, Rosalie Crutchley, Hazel Douglas, Rupert Frazer, Emrys James directed by: Moira Armstrong November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.92
I first saw this series when it was broadcast on PBS in 1980 and although I missed the first two installments I was emotionally moved by its impact. Since then, having read both Vera Brittain's "Testament of Youth" and her diary of the same period, "Chronicle of Youth," I was eager to again see how this was adapted for television. Because neither a memoir nor a diary, in contrast to a work of fiction, necessarily conveys the nature of the personalities of different individuals, I was especially curious to see how they were portrayed in the dramatization. I have to say that I was not disappointed in any case (with the minor quibble that Joanna McCallum was much better looking than Winifred Holtby). It is one thing to cast actors who physically resemble the people they portray (or at least resemble ... Read More

7.A&E Biography - Leonardo da Vinci: Renaissance Master starring: David Janssen November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.50
Fascinating overview of one of the planet's most intgriguing, creative men. Well done, technically.

8.The Korean War (4-volume set) starring: Edward Herrmann, Bevin Alexander, Harley J. Coon, Raymond G. Davis, Donald P. Gregg November 30, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $29.99
This is one of the best war documentary series arround. I collect documentaries and this series is A+

9.Horatio Hornblower starring: Ioan Gruffudd, Robert Lindsay (II), Denis Lawson, Ian McNeice, Andrew Tiernan directed by: Andrew Grieve May 25, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $59.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $56.95 You Save: $3.00 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.29
Other than not exactly following the books, these are really good sea stories. For all lovers of the wooden ships and iron men era.

10.Biography - Malcolm X: A Search For Identity from: A&E Home Video November 18, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.76
I always learn from A&E Biography and was not disappointed in this one. The DVD was way expensive so I bought this one. Malcom was one of the most interesting people and lived a good & full life until his tragic murder.
