| 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. ... Read More: |

| One of the few memories I have of my father is that he raved about The Count of Monte Cristo as being among his favorite novels.
During my American 'education' - in front of the TV screen - I have of course come across the recent version with James Caviezel, and I thought it a nice movie but, as I have come to perceive most films, it was nothing really spectacular. I have begun listening to audio books, which I can rent a great number of for free from the public library, and per chance I ... Read More: |

| 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. ... Read More: |

| 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 ... Read More: |

| 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 ...

| Both movies are brilliantly acted but the Killer has a very good story and is Chow Yun Fat's best role ever and then watch Hard-Boiled after to that to see an even darker movie that you will get a huge rush from. Guns are blazing like no other movie has shown before!

| What would you expect, it's the original three Star Wars movies! These three are the best of the series of six! I purchased them used and they are in great shape. No scratches on any of the four DVD's (Bonus disk included). |

| This is not just a film, but one of the very few pieces of cinema that can be called a work of art. It stands in the same relation to virtually all other films that Homer or Virgil stand to the average novel. |
