I remember watching the Flash Gordon series on TV after school and loving it. Not having seen it in 40 plus years, I picked this set up as a lark and had a ball reliving the Buster Crabb serial. Obviously there are no real "special" effects even by 1970 standards. This one is just for the nostalgia of being there and enjoying as a kid again.

What's great about it: black and white classic
What's not so great: can't ever compare to current fare

I clearly remember when this vinyl album came out 2 years after the original "Boston" blockbuster first album. And we were shocked, it actually sounded like "Boston." As if the Beatles didn't put out "Beatles'" albums! I have read the band felt it came out too soon, and needed at least 1 more song to make it of decent length. I agree. But listening some 30 years later, it is a joy, flows like a concert, and features the vocals of one of the best singers of all time. Try and get the first 3 Boston CDs and play them one after another; it is a party in your ears.

We all love the pure escapism you get from a great movie, with a great story. This one comes very close to the ideal. I knocked off a star just because it doesn't quite hold up to super classics (Like "Godfather" for example).

![GoodFellas [DVD] [1990]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3071/3071222_sa.jpg)
The DVD of Goodfellas has got to be one of the very first DVDs ever released by Warner Brothers because they make a critical error in the release. While many films offer widescreen on one side and full screen on the other, this film offers only one version -- a widescreen film broken into two sides. Viewers have to flip the DVD over to watch the second half of the film; 19 chapters are on side A and the last 15 chapters are on side B. Goodfellas is a classic film, and the DVD offers a great video transfer and excellent Dolby Digital 5:1 Surround, but no DVD fan will accept the two-sided format. In terms of extras, there are very few, limited only to theatrical trailers, production notes, and cast bios. For many, this Martin Scorsese classic is a must-have for any collection, but those who can wait for a future, corrected release of this film are better off watching the widescreen VHS tape. Language option in English and French and subtitles in English, French, and Spanish.

This is a movie to own, and revisit at least every year or 2! Great drama, even seeing it the third time I picked up little nuances of this all involving story.

I don't want to give anything away, but the action is compelling, the story is the same, and the actors at times are riveting.....I just found myself losing interest for very short periods of time, probably just me.

Nice CD to play in the car on the way to work, or listen at home for a few tries. Nothing dramatic, offensive or even particularly poignant. Worth the investment, but this is not one you are going to commit to your personal musical memory, unless you are a huge JM fan!

What's great about it: Light, smiling, easy to "digest"
What's not so great: A bit to generic

Look, Mel is still hot at this stage, and he proves it in this movie. Not too bold, not too hot, but still carries the film.

I am willing to skip over a few OBVIOUS challenges to the actors to make this thing work to say the story rules! I mean my family really enjoyed the story and thought hard and long about what it means to us as a unit.
