| 101.Remains of the Day starring: Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, John Haycraft, Christopher Reeve, Caroline Hunt directed by: James Ivory February 14, 1995 |

| The beauty of Remains of the Day can not be overstated. The photography and art direction were superb in every way. The camera is usually at eye level in most shots, giving the film some intimacy within a great beautiful country home.
The film is based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, a talented master of the understated and unsaid. Anthony Hopkins plays his best role in this film because so much of the acting depends on what is controlled and not said, yet conveyed through subtle movements ... Read More: |

|
| Despite plenty of wartime propaganda and the usual amount of clichés and other staples of WWII action melodramas, ACTION IN THE NORTH Atlantic is given a boost by some of the best staged action scenes ever featured in a Warner Bros. movie of that era.
The realism is startling considering that special effects then included no computer engineering. The script is basically the story of U.S. Merchant Marine survivors of a battle determined to sink the ship that ruthlessly cut into their lifeboat. ... Read More: |

|
| I use the Cuban Missile Crisis to teach decison making in crisis situations and have read numerous accounts and watched a variety of videos/DVDs on the subject including the movie 13 Days and the recent excellent DVD The Fog of War (based on the reflections of Robert MacNamara). This hugely disappointing ''documentary" is certainly the worst thing I have seen on the subject. Documentary is really the wrong word - while there is some original footage (with a rather tedious narrative giving a standard account of events) ... Read More: |

|
| A very intelligent yet hilarious look at the insanity of war and those responsible for waging it in the nuclear age. Full of 4 Star performances by Peter Sellers (in multiple roles), Sterling Hayden, George C. Scott and Slim Pickens, the epitome of the commie-fighting cowboy
The behind-the-scenes companion DVD is just as much of a treat as the film itself: the set designers made educated guesses as to the interior of a B-52 bomber, and turned out to be so accurate that the Air Force got concerned and Stanley ... Read More: |

|
| Ken Loach's LAND AND FREEDOM won two awards at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival and was also considered as the best European Film of 1995. I do have a tremendous respect for the works of Ken Loach, such directors who handle social, political or historical matters in their films, are necessary. In LAND AND FREEDOM, Ken Loach's intentions were to remind us that the dissensions between the different left-wing Spanish movements were the principal cause of General Franco's victory in 1939 and the fascist dictatorship that ruled Spain until ...

| If you like a little comedy mixed in with a war movie then here you go. This takes place in a German POW camp, Stalag 17. ofcourse the major things to do are to survive and escape. Watchi how these men band together and make that happen. |

| Buyer beware! The newer DVD set of this FABULOUS series is not up to the quality of this VHS edition. The DVDs are made by the History channel, and the sound quality is awful. This older VHS version, produced by New Line features (although on tape) has a much finer sound quality and even the video isn't that bad, compared to the lousey transfer of the DVDs.
These are still the finest chronicles of war footage AND narration that have been made of WWll, in my opinion. Try to get thru them without tearing up at the human sacrifice and bravery. ... Read More: |

|
| Dealing with a topic the war movie and western genres have often covered, the lost patrol/squad/unit, Men in War doesn't do anything spectacular but does everything really solid as director Anthony Mann delivers a hard-hitting, tense war movie. Following a disastrous North Korean attack that produces hundreds of American casualties, the sun rises on the remnant of Lt. Benson's platoon. Not knowing where battalion is or if headquarters has been wiped out or even where the lines are, the platoon begins the 17-mile march to their original objective, Hill ... Read More: |

| In a time in which many documentaries are short on details and long on broad strokes and generalizations, I cannot overstate the quality of this video and the entire series. The detail and research which went into these documentaries is outstanding. As the other reviewers have noted, the series focuses on the battle from a number of different angles and tie the strategic planning, tactics, and results to the broader context of the Second World War. Although each of the videos stands on its own, together they create a most effective narrative of the ebb and ... Read More: |
