1.Stephen King's The Stand (Boxed Set) starring: Ruby Dee, Gary Sinise, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Ossie Davis April 18, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.95
The Stand is impressive in many ways possible! I know the movie is 6 hours in length put it pulled me in after the first episode. It had a great apocalyptic opening where it can possibly happen in real life with the virus and all. The second half jumps into this supernatural realm where people dare not go and I find that fascinating. I got this movie from a 5 movie collection by Artisan (also had Cujo, Golden Years, The Langoliers, and Thinner) and I received the 2-disc version which is good but its probably better than the flipper disc. I despise flipper discs because they get scratched and broken so easily that its not funny. Lucky me I guess. This would be a great DVD title to come out on Blu-Ray. Imagine the entire 6-hour film on one disc with no flipping or changing. The Golden Years was ... Read More

2.Hardware starring: Dylan McDermott, Stacey Travis, John Lynch, William Hootkins, Iggy Pop directed by: Richard Stanley January 13, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.07
This is a GREAT film, borrowing from BLADE RUNNER, THE TERMINATOR, MAD MAX, and slasher films -- but with its own unique story and style. Beautiful cinematography, wonderful soundtrack (with both classical opera and industrial/punk rock scores). I won't relate the story, as other reviewers have done so. BUT if you're buying the "Uncut Red Edition," there are some issues you should be aware of. * This "Eurocult" DVD claims it's uncut, "unlike American DVD and VHS editions." Not true. Yes, this Uncut Red Edition may be uncut, but it contained no scenes that I hadn't seen in my American tape edition. Maybe some tapes were cut, but not all. * More importantly, this DVD is FULL SCREEN. I'd hoped to see HARDWARE's beautiful cinematography in its wide screen ... Read More

3.Postman starring: Todd Allen, Scott Bairstow, Annie Costner, Charles Esten, Shawn Hatosy October 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.43
This is one of the most underrated movies of all time. The Postman is not just your average post-apocalyptic scenario. It is a deeply emotional and philosophical film about the power of hope. What I love about this movie is that it shows how something very simple-- mail-- can become a symbol for everything that makes us human and for everything that makes us American. Yes, its a little long, and yes, the ending requires a slight suspension of disbelief. But the movie is good enough that you wont notice the length, and moving enough that disbelief hardly even enters the mind. I love this film, and recommend it highly.

4.On the Beach starring: Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins, Donna Anderson directed by: Stanley Kramer August 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.79
I saw On the Beach, as a young boy in 1959, and have never forgotten it, nor it's impacting, hard hitting, unforgettable images! Nobody really knew what to expect from the movie. The movie didn't upset me, but rather, caused me to better understand all that was going on in the world and with the Cold War. (It was a time where "air raid drills" were commonplace in my elementary school . . . all students, single file into the hallways, kneeling down against the wall, hands over head, elbows on the floor . . . and one of us assigned to open the classroom's windows . . . less resistance for the bomb's draft!!!) I believe this movie was the first nationally seen "visual statement" about nuclear war. The movie is produced beautifully, with outstanding character portrayals by incredible actors. ... Read More

5.Le Dernier Combat (The Last Battle) starring: Pierre Jolivet, Jean Bouise, Jean Reno, Fritz Wepper, Christiane Krüger directed by: Luc Besson August 21, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.75
this is a very interesting movie for luc besson buffs, but its even more minimal than i had anticipated. its worth watching, but set aside some time to watch it as you have to be completely focussed on it to follow it.

6.Voyage to Bottom of Sea starring: Walter Pidgeon, Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden, Peter Lorre, Robert Sterling directed by: Irwin Allen February 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.97
As always, The Pilot VTTBOTS is in some ways superior to the series. A pretty suspensful film, well written, good color special FX...the 'Global Warming' Addition to the DVD is great, and also includes some excellent history of Science Fiction. Get this edition if you buy the film.

7.The Road Warrior - Special Edition starring: Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston, Max Phipps, Vernon Wells directed by: George Miller May 01, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.01
The title says it all here folks. I've been a long time fan of this series (and by series, I mean 'Mad Max' and 'The Road Warrior', not that abortion of a movie 'Max Max beyond Thunderdome'). Anyway, this is the Australian release titled 'Mad Max 2', not 'The Road Warrior', so it has a slightly different intro, and they do refer to Mel's character as Max, not as the 'man with no name' like they did in the U.S. version. Not a lot in the way of extras here. The picture is very grainy when viewed in hi-def. Not anything you can do about it; it was a limitation of the time since it wasn't filmed in hi-def. Still, the film looks good despite it's age and the sound is good. If you don't have it on DVD, you can certainly pick it up in that format cheaper than this was ($13). BTW, if ... Read More

8.Waterworld (Widescreen Edition) starring: Rick Aviles, R.D. Call, Leonardo Cimino, Kevin Costner, Anthony DeMasters directed by: Kevin Costner July 09, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
most people don't like this movie, but i love it. i've been waiting so long to get the extended edition DVD, little did i know that they would just spit out the TV version. i'm am livid about this!!!! I WANT THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!!! why can't we have the original? waste of money.

9.The Matrix Reloaded starring: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Ray Anthony directed by: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski October 14, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
The sequel to the global phenomenon hit The Matrix has more entertainment and mind-boggling, technically innovative special effects. Here Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) struggle to continue their fight to save Zion from invading machines. This is one sequel that truly lives up to expectations and triumphs where other fail by bigger and better fight scenes (including the impressive freeway chase sequences) and character design and at the same time still remaining cleverly focused on the plotting sequences. However this film seem confusing at times and made some fight scenes meaningless, making this the only downfall to this fantastic sequel which lead to astonishing repercussions that made Reloaded an explosive hit with critics and hardcore fans alike. ...

10.Def-Con 4 starring: Lenore Zann, Maury Chaykin, Kate Lynch, Kevin King, John Walsch directed by: Digby C. Cook, Paul Donovan, Tony Randel September 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.35
If you're into realistic post-nuc war movies then check this out. This is one of the few movies in the genre that I really like. I first saw this when I was like 12 on VHS and had have waited ever since for a DVD version to be released. All of the other reviewers are total haters comparing this to cheesey sci-fi not even close to being realistic movies. The plot is totally plausable and isn't too dated for a movie from the 80's. anyways watch this movie if you're into the genre thats it. The amount of mullets is at a minimum too considering this is a canadian production thats pretty crazy. And iswear one of the guys is the fat guy from cheers in a kilt and shotgun. whats not to like?
