Casablanca is perhaps considered one of the best well-done and most-respected movies of all time. Before I even watched the film, I knew that I would love it from start to finish. So if you are sitting at home wondering what movie to watch, I recommend Casablanca because you will not be disappointed. Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart both do an amazing job in this film. Also this Academy Award winner for Best Picture clearly deserves a round of applause. Perfect film for families, couples, or anyone ... Read More:

In the product description is said it has subtitles in spanish, due to the fact that my dad only speaks spanish I thought it would be a great gift for him and make him remember his days of youth, but its just a BIG LIE!!! the movie only has 2 languages: English and French.
Now why didn't we returned it? We are too far away to start a process like that and my dad was too excited to take a look at the description that he just peeled off the wrap.

Far from the earth-shattering restoration we were promised in this BluRay edition, this is just another direct port to BluRay from DVD.

The audio is still mono, a major disappointment. Still a great movie, but Warner Brothers didn't deliver the BluRay product they promised.

Those of us with upconverting players will get quality every bit as good from the plain old DVD version.

DVD : Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection (Lifeboat / Spellbound / Notorious / The Paradine Case / Sabotage / Young and Innocent / Rebecca / The Lodger)
I got the Hitchcock "Premiere" collection from Amazon, and experienced multiple problems with the discs--freezing, pixels, vibration, etc. I got a second replacement set from Amazon, and have experienced the same problems. "Paradine Case" is the worst, and the problem was in the exact same spot in the replacement. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SET until a recall is made, or a second edition is available. I tried these discs on multiple machines and on my laptop. The problems are NOT caused by user error or bad machines. ... Read More:

"The untold want by life and land ne'er granted,
Now, voyager, sail thou forth to seek and find."

~"The Untold Want" from Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass"


It is perhaps one of Bette Davis' best films, one in which she reputedly became quite caught up in the role, playing an active part in the production decisions. Perhaps that is why the sets, costumes, and screenplay, as well as the flawless acting, raise "Now, Voyager" above the soap operatic level to a serious drama exploring ... Read More:

I was searching for a DVD of "All Through the Night" when I stumbled upon this collection. My eyes opened wide as I looked over the selections on offer.

This treasure chest of films and a generous supply of extras made me feel like a kid who just got an expensive gift of Lionel trains.

You could spend an entire weekend savoring this collection. If you like Bogart, action, adventure and some fun, don't hesitate to add this package to your DVD library.

For those who like their film noirs earthy and raw, this one's a gem. French screen idol Jean Gabin turns in a fine, multi-textured performance as a dissolute, drunken French sailor, drinking his way up the coastline of California, who is waylaid by love, in the person of an equally hard-bitten Ida Lupino. They were made for each other, but their domestic bliss is soon threatened by the possibility that Gabin's character may be a bit darker and more violent than we'd previously imagined. There are several great character actors here, but the ... Read More:

This was exactly what I expected it to be. My husband LOVED it for his birthday present. It had all the Capra Movies you could want, with the exception of Meet John Doe. And the price is right!

The movies are exactly as described. Not sure if it was worth the price I paid though. I was hoping that there was a feature on the dvds to allow it to be either black and white or color , but there wasn't. Only in black and white. I saw them in color on tcm once, I thought it was great. Not sure where to find them though. The treasure of the sierra madre is one of my all time favorites. The main reason I bought the set.

Used Price: $8.88

THE SEA HAWK showcases my favorite Warners director (Curtiz), swashbuckler (Flynn) and composer (Erich Wolfgang Korngold).

I see that more than a few Amazon reviewers complain of the casting of Brenda Marshall as the female lead and inevitable Flynn love interest rather than (one might reasonably assume) Olivia De Havilland. I disagree. Was the pairing of Errol and Olivia obligatory? Were they Rock Hudson and Doris Day? Frankie and Annette? I for one am GLAD to see Brenda Marshall as Doña Maria. She's more Spanish in appearance and is more believably ... Read More:
