THIS WAS THE BEGINNING AND PROBABLY THE BEST OF THE SCIENCE-FICTION PREMISE OF THE UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES OF ATOMIC WEAPONS TESTING IN THE DESERTS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. NO ONE KNEW OF THE NUCLEAR CAUSED MUTATIONS AND ITS AFFECTS ON THE CREATURES NATIVE TO THE AREA. WHEN THEY BECOME ACTIVE AND BEFORE THE AUTHORITIES CAN IDENTIFY WHAT CAN CAUSE THIS HAVOC IN THE DESERT, THEY HAVE MIGRATED TO THE FAMOUS STORM WATER SEWERS OF LOS ANGELES AND, STILL NOT HAVING BEEN SEEN, THEY ARE REFERRED TO AS "THEM"! MORE OF THIS TYPE FILM WOULD BE PRODUCED BUT, AS USUAL, THIS FIRST AND THEREFOR MOST MYSTERIOUS FILM, TURNS OUT TO BE THE BEST OF THEM ALL. THIS REPUTATION IS WELL EARNED AND STILL VALID TODAY.

One of the first and arguably one of the best of modern-day sophisticated science-fiction. It was so REAL compared to previous so-called-adult science-fiction movies. Great story, great stars, great premise and a thought provoking finale. This is the pre-cursor of a genre that finally 'grew up'! This is a MUST HAVE video that belongs in everybody's film library!

What does pre-historic man do when his tribe's fire is accidentally extinguished? He has not developed the knowledge or the skill required to make a fire from nothing. This is the story of his search to replace the prime necessity for their tribe's survival. Mankind lives in those primitive times where the dangers from wild creatures, unfriendly surroundings, competition from savage tribes and their own primitive knowledge has not yet developed to guarantee their odds for survival. Add to their dilemma the truly funny things that happen to them during their quest for fire. Excellent story that captures and portrays primitive man and his times and their innate sense of humor in the face of life threatening danger that is unique to the human spirit. IT IS A FUN JOURNEY! You will find yourself asking, "What would I do differentiy if you found yourself in their situation but with today's knowledge and experience?"
This is truly one of the best uses of narural scenery, background music scoring and storytelling that only the combined talents of the modern day film industry could succeed in bringing together as they fictionalize the true events that portray the dramatic life and times and series of events of the real-life historical T.E. Lawrence. It also took this epic-structured sentence to review and do justice to this 'must-have' film in your collection as one of the greatest films ever made! (Applause, thank you!)
Join Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) on their quest to defeat the villainous Darth Vader in this six-disc collection featuring Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi}.
Although labled Star Wars IV-V-VI, These are the first, second and third movies that started the Star Wars mania. The best trilogy collection that should be in everyones's video library.
This modern re-telling of the well-known 'Wolfman' tale takes place in modern day London. Two college students 'on break' find themselves walking the Moors, unfortunately . . . its at the wrong time of night and during a full moon. From this point the tale turns completely different then anything you have ever seen in 'Wolfman' storytelling! As movie critic Leonard Maltin commented, "A . . .horror film that happens to have a sharp sense of Humor!" The 'transition' of the title character from college student to Wolfman is a modern day miracle of make-up and cinematography and that's only the beginning of this, would you believe it, FUN horror movie. It's well-worth the reasonable Best Buy pricing. Get it, watch it, enjoy the twists and turns from the original tale. PS: David Naughton, Griffin Dunne and especially Jenny Agutter, are the delightful cast members.This movie will not disappoint you.
Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as a quartet of Manhattan-based "paranormal investigators". When their government grants run out, the former three go into business as The Ghostbusters, later hiring Hudson on. Armed with electronic paraphernalia, the team is spectacularly successful, ridding The Big Apple of dozens of ghoulies, ghosties and long-legged beasties. Tight-lipped bureaucrat William Atherton regards the Ghostbusters as a bunch of charlatans, but is forced to eat his words when New York is besieged by an army of unfriendly spirits, conjured up by a long-dead Babylonian demon and "channelled" through beautiful cellist Sigourney Weaver and nerdish Rick Moranis. The climax is a glorious sendup of every Godzilla movie ever made-and we daresay it cost more than a year's worth of Japanese monster flicks combined. Who'd ever dream that the chubby, cheery Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would turn out to be the most malevolent threat ever faced by New York City? When the script for Ghostbusters was forged by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, John Belushi was slated to play the Bill Murray role; Belushi's death in 1982 not only necessitated the hiring of Murray, but also an extensive rewrite. The most expensive comedy made up to 1984, Ghostbusters made money hand over fist, spawning not only a 1989 sequel but also two animated TV series (one of them partially based on an earlier live-action TV weekly, titled The Ghost Busters. Ghostbusters II: Ivan Reitman's sequel to the phenomenally successful Ghostbusters is looser and more self-assured than the original. The film opens with a title reading "Five Years Later" and finds the ghostbusters living in hard times. A restraining order has forbidden the boys to partake in paranormal warfare, and as a result they have had to seek other lines of work. Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Winston (Ernie Hudson) spend their time performing at children's' birthday parties, and Egon (Harold Ramis) is busy conducting experiments investigating the effect of human emotions on the environment, leaving ghostbusting behind. Venkman (Bill Murray) and Dana (Sigourney Weaver) have split up. Venkman now hosts a local cable show called "The World of the Psychic." Dana, now divorced and the mother of a little baby named Oscar, works as an art restorer in a museum -- and this is where the plot kicks in. While Dana is restoring a portrait of a 16th-century tyrant by the name of Vigo the Carpathian, the portrait becomes hexed. The evil Vigo wants to return to life by taking over the body of Dana's little child. Vigo has enlisted Dana's boss, Janosz Poha (Peter MacNicol), to compel Dana to cooperate. Soon dirty sludge and slime flow through the streets of Manhattan, and the ghostbusters have to reunite to save the city from a funky paranormal evil.
Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd lead a special team of 'Ghostbusters', accompanied by the lovely Sigourney Weaver. The problem is, the ghosts don't want to be gotten rid of and fight back by 'sliming' their adversaries. The fun of Ghostbusters 1 is followed by Ghostbusters 2 and Best Buy has thoughtfully combined both in one offering. Enjoy the fun, alone or with the family. PS:The team is rounded out by Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis to add to the well-played-out gags. This double selection, on Blu-ray, is modestly priced by Best Buy.
The original "When a Man Loves a Woman" cut is worth the, reasonable, Best Buy price for this CD. Not to beat a 'dead horse' but a further sampling of selections includes "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", "My Girl", "Behind Closed Doors" with some tracks taken from Percy's LIVE PERFORMANCES and some from his STUDIO TRACKS! AND . . . there's so much variety for pleasant listening you won't be bored. If you are already a Percy Sledge fan, 'nuff said, if you are not, you will be!
KIRK DOUGLAS IS ONE OF HOLLYWOOD'S GREATEST ICONS. WHEN I SAW THE VARIETY OF HIS FILMS AVAILABLE IN ONE COLLECTION, AT AN AFFORDABLE BEST BUY PRICE, I IMMEDIATELY ADDED THIS SELECTION TO MY COLLECTION.
