1.I, Claudius starring: Derek Jacobi, Siân Phillips, Brian Blessed, George Baker, John Hurt directed by: Herbert Wise October 09, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.45
This I originally saw on PBS of course when it was first shown there. It stuck in my mind ever since. It is one of the best shows of any kind I have EVER seen. The acting is phenominal, especially Sian Phillips and Derek Jacobi. WONDERFUL. You MUST see it.

2.War and Peace starring: Lyudmila Savelyeva, Vyacheslav Tikhonov, Gennadi Ivanov, Irina Gubanova, Antonina Shuranova directed by: Sergei Bondarchuk January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.92
I bought the Russian version of "War and Peace" from you, a 3-DVD boxed set. The work is magnificent, on the massive scale one seldom sees nowadays. True to Tolstoy in every respect, a viewing pleasure of rare proportions. The actors play their parts with consummate skill, so much so that they imprint themselves on to your memory. Anyone who has a sense of history - not merely of Napoleonic-era history - should see this film and derive from it the degree of pleasure that I and my family derived from it. Bill (Australia)

3.The Samurai Trilogy starring: Toshirô Mifune, Rentaro Mikuni, Kuroemon Onoe, Kaoru Yachigusa, Mariko Okada directed by: Hiroshi Inagaki September 03, 1996

4.The Sopranos - The Complete First Season from: Hbo Home Video December 12, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.50
I was converted to the Sopranos over a rainy summer vacation in Summerside, PEI. A&E was airing the show at 10:00 am Atlantic time. I was drawn into the story lines about Adriana LaCerva and Meadow Soprano, and Anthony Jr., to a lesser extent. I think that's because I work in a high school, so I would want to see how Meadow's and Anthony Jr's teen lives were portrayed. I'm 29, so I am attracted to Adriana's fancy clothes and accessories. As soon as we got home, one week later, I rented the entire first season. And it was a very interesting first season! My favorite story lines still revolve around Meadow and Adriana. We don't see much of Adriana, but when we do, she's an adorable mob girl who just loves luxury! She is also confident she will have a career in music management. Meadow is the conflicted ...

5.Les Vampires starring: Musidora, Édouard Mathé, Marcel Lévesque, Jean Aymé, Fernand Herrmann directed by: Louis Feuillade November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
I've always been a big fan of art cinema and film noir movies. I am very fond of the early great Black and White silent films including Wings, Metropolis, Birth of a Nation and Napoleon among many others. I was greatly surprised with this saga of ten progressive chapters. The movie was made in 1915 and yes, there are repeating pieces of furniture seen between the different sets, and the night scenes are clearly shot during daylight. However, the movie is powerful and not as forcefully acted like many of the "big" early Hollywood movies. It gives you an eerie sense of reality because the actors are truly good and the cinematography captures a vivid and realistic picture of the turn-of-the-20th century France. I am now a big fan of this movie, and I would amply recommend it to all audiences. Musidora was indeed ... Read More

6.Tokyo Olympiad starring: Jack Douglas (IV), Hirohito, Abebe Bikila directed by: Kon Ichikawa June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $23.77
I was not really sure what to expect, but I have to say that now having watched this DVD, I think Tokyo Olympiad has muscled its way up into my list of all time favorite documentaries. The artful approach to recording the events of the 1964 Toyko Olympics is masterful. My own favorite moment: the slow-mo 800 meter women's. Ichikawa had two cameras on the scene, and it is the mesmerizing second view of the legs of the runners that gripped me. The fluidity of motion, the definition of their muscles, clearly evident. The front-runner, legs pistoning in a seemingly perfect rythym, seems in control. And then, from the left side of the screen, (keep in mind, in this shot we're seeing mostly just waist down shots of the legs of the runners) Ann Packer's legs come into the shot, moving faster than all the others ...

7.The Decalogue (Complete Set) starring: Maria Koscialkowska, Krzysztof Globisz, Tadeusz Lomnicki, Grazyna Szapolowska, Henryk Bista August 19, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.92
Art that can claim greatness deals with complex issues in complex ways. If the answers or questions posed were simple they could be framed in a single sentence, or a ten second film, then the art would not be its own best explanation. This thought stuck with me as I watched Krzystof Kielowski's complex and fascinating, if flawed, The Decalogue, illuminating aspects of the Ten Commandments from the third, transitional phase of his career, which included this 1988-89 Polish television series, filmed in 1987 and 1988, as well as the two subsequent feature films derived from episodes five and six, A Short Film About Killing and A Short Film About Love. Kielowski's filmic career can be divided into four parts. The first was his career as a documentarian, the second was his early fictive films, and the fourth and final part was his ... Read More

9.The Apu Trilogy (Pather Panchali, Aparajito, The World of Apu) starring: Kanu Bannerjee, Karuna Bannerjee, Subir Bannerjee, Uma Das Gupta, Chunibala Devi directed by: Satyajit Ray October 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.97
I first saw these three movies when I was in my twenties (I am now almost 65) in an art film theater in Portland, OR. All three movies at once. My friends and I took picnic lunches and spent the day. At the time, I thought that this was too long to spend in a movie theater with an aching [...]. I loved the movies, but it was too much to absorb all at once. As it turns out, I keep returning to this trilogy faithfully every few years. I bought them separately and I sit in my Lazy Boy (not so hard on the rear) and watch all three over and over again. I am glad to see them released as a collection. They were not so easy to find one by one and before the advent of Amazon.com. These films always have more to teach me about being a human being. The humor and the anguish and the despair are common to all of us. So is survival. ... Read More

10.Carlos Castaneda's Magical Passes: Unbending Intent starring: Miles Reed, Rylyn Demaris, Aerin Alexander, Brandon Scott, Darien Donner directed by: Haley Van Oosten June 07, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.00
Freedom from suffering. Stopping the internal dialogue. Transcending your social conditioning. Awakening from the dream of the mind. Discovering inconceivable states of wellbeing. Say it however you want: Carlos Castaneda's Magical Passes will get you there, and quickly. Here's the theory in a nutshell. Spiritual seekers usually reach the same deadend. They know that the mind is synonymous with resistance and suffering. The usual practices involving breathing, meditating, watching the thinker, going into the body, physical cleansing, practicing presence, etc. will get you TO the door, but not THROUGH it. The masters and gurus then advise you to accept your unconsciousness as part of the "isness" of being and thereby transcend it. Does this work? Has it for you? What if the the mind, the source of suffering, was only the expression ... Read More
