Brigadoon (VHS, 2001, Classic Musicals; Widescreen)
This is a really enjoyable movie, with delightful singing and dancing and a decent plot. I saw this movie in a theater when it first came out and watching again brought back all the memories of how enjoyable it was when I saw it the first time. It is simply a great movie for the family with a delightful cast.

The African Queen (VHS, 1999)
There is little I can add to what has already been said about this movie by critics, audiences or anyone else. This is simply one of the all-time great movies and performances by Bogart and Hepburn are absolutely irresistible. This goes in my all time top 10 ever selections.

The Red Shoes at its very best!
This film must've been incredible in it's time and it still stands up very well now. Just a few days ago I saw a television commercial which stole from this film-the dancing newspapers. The dancing is wonderful. Moira Shearer delivers a marvelous performance. Anton Walbrook supremely portrays an absolutely evil character as Lermontov, director of the ballet. He cares only about the performance. People are only his toys, to be used to accomplish his goals at their expense. The rest of the cast is a very admirable job. Moira's character, Vicki, is torn between her love of dance and her true love. Lermontov is determined to allow nothing to get between Vicki and her dancing, with predictably a tragic ending. The special effects are stunning, even by today's standards. (It just goes to show that with a good story, talent and artistry you don't need explosions and bullets to make a truly wonderful film.) In all, this is one of my very very favorite films and this particular copy has not only a really good print of the film but also a wonderful host of extras. There is nothing about this package that I could dislike. It is a gem.
