1.Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (Widescreen Edition) starring: Jason Scott Lee, Cary Elwes, Lena Headey, Sam Neill, John Cleese directed by: Stephen Sommers May 19, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.70
I haven't read the book, so I don't know how accurate the film is, but I enjoyed this version of "The Jungle Book". It's all about a grown up Mowgli's struggle to fit in with British colonial society, after he is lured out (more or less) by Kitty, a girl he knew as a child before he was lost to the jungle, a girl who just happens to be the local Colonel's daughter. Her boyfriend, a British soldier called William, doesn't like Mowgli at all, but he is however terribly fascinated by the golden dagger Mowgli found in the jungle... It's worth a look. Sam Neill and John Cleese are both in the film, and I enjoyed their performances, I usually do when they're in films. Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli wasn't too bad either, though I haven't really seen him in much else. The Indian location was ... Read More

2.It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Ws) starring: Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Sid Caesar directed by: Stanley Kramer September 26, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.28
I enjoyed this movie as a kid, but watched it recently and found it to be bloated and dated and not all that funny. However, the final two minutes are one of the most profoundly spiritual moments in the history of cinema. The lesson learned by Spencer Tracy's character, that life is inherently absurd and laughter is the best medicine for melancholy, is one that we can all benefit from. When sadness strikes, I watch the final two minutes several times in a row, and experience a healing catharsis. This all sounds a little pompous and pretentious (even to me), but it is true nevertheless.

3.The Nightmare Before Christmas - Special Edition (Widescreen) starring: Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Shelley Duvall directed by: Henry Selick, Tim Burton October 03, 2000

It had been a while since I had seen this movie, but you could tell that the quality was much better! I had forgotten how funny and weird and wacky "Nightmare" is; then I remembered that it was a Tim Burton movie.

4.Challenge for Robin Hood (Ws) starring: Barrie Ingham, Peter Blythe, John Arnatt, Gay Hamilton, John Gugolka directed by: C.M. Pennington-Richards April 06, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.20
Frankly, I may be overestimating this video, but it was my first Robin Hood movie and it is the one that has stuck with me the best. It has an excellent pie fight and it's fairly kid-friendly from what I remember.

5.A Bug's Life (Widescreen Edition) starring: Phyllis Diller, Dave Foley, Brad Garrett, Jonathan Harris, Bonnie Hunt directed by: Andrew Stanton April 20, 1999

Sure, we have a three year old at home. Now and then we watch TV together. Since watching movies with my kid is kind of new, I'm looking more closely at what to watch. Just about everything from Pixar and John Lassiter is some of the most inspired stuff I've come across. The characters, the stories, the animation and the casting all create a high water mark not just for children's viewing but for every one. "A Bugs Life" is certainly one of the better ones in the group. I can say this after several, and I mean several viewings.

7.Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition) starring: Mark Hamill November 21, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.48
The Star Wars Saga changed the face of cinema, and even rewrote modern mythology. The journey of the hero, capitalizing on the imagery of medieval Japan, Flash Gordon, World War 2 and the Old West, comes to life in the classic "Space Opera" trilogy that affected an entire generation, and hopefully with this splendid DVD boxset, generations to come.

8.The Happiest Millionaire (Widescreen Road Show Edition) starring: Fred MacMurray, Tommy Steele, Greer Garson, Geraldine Page, Gladys Cooper directed by: Norman Tokar July 20, 1999

Oh this movie has it all.... boxing, dancing, alligators ,and cute romance! This disney movie is one of the best comedy musicals ever! You have got to see it!

9.Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Widescreen Edition) starring: Jane Powell, Howard Keel, Jeff Richards, Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Rall directed by: Stanley Donen May 02, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
If you like old movies, this is a good one. The story is not that great but the dancing & singing are very good. You realize what a good singer Howard Keel is & I didn't even know Jane Wyatt cold sing, and she is very good.

10.The Nightmare Before Christmas/James and the Giant Peach (Special Widescreen Editions Two Pak) starring: Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Paul Terry directed by: Henry Selick, Tim Burton October 03, 2000

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS An enchanting film that can be enjoyed at ANY time of the year. The movie is at once bizarre, funny, creative and even surprisingly touching. JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH A delightful movie that preserves the magic of the book on which it was based.
