My wife's favorite

If you've read the book, this movie makes the story come to life! Keira Knightly is wonderful, and her class and elegance are perfect for this Victorian era masterpiece.

Anthony Mann's The Glenn Miller Story, starring James Stewart, was one of Universal's big "money" pictures of the 1950s, right up there with Joseph Pevney's Away All Boats and Tammy, and it has been well preserved in general and well presented on this DVD. The film has been transferred in the correct non-anamorphic aspect ratio of 1.85:1, in about as sharp an image and bright colors as any Universal title of the era. There's a little instability at 16 minutes into the movie, in the close-up shots of June Allyson, but otherwise the disc is quite beautiful, and the audio is excellent, the band sequences having a full, rich sound. The film has been given a reasonably generous 20 chapters, accessible through an easy-to-use menu and adequate for the nearly two-hour running time, but there are no extras or bonus features, which is a disappointment. One would have hoped, perhaps, that Universal and Fox could have come up with a cross-promotion, using this DVD to promote the two movies that Miller made at Fox (which aren't even out as of 2005), and vice versa, for Fox's promotion of this disc; and newsreel footage of and concerning Miller does exist. Due to all of that -- in addition to the fact that The Glenn Miller Story is another collaboration between Stewart and Mann, who made a brace of notable movies together in the Western genre -- a commentary track is not only called for, but practically begged for.

Great story about possibly the best of the Big Bands. Jimmie Stewart and June Allyson are at their best. Love this story!

Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson star in Ang Lee's acclaimed adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved novel, arriving on DVD from Columbia/TriStar Home Video. Presented in the original 1.85:1 widescreen theatrical aspect ratio (enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs) and featuring closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 and Stereo soundtracks, this release also offers additional Spanish and Portuguese Dolby Digital Stereo tracks in addition to optional English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, and Thai subtitles. Extra features include a director's audio commentary track with Lee and co-producer James Schamus, an additional commentary track from Emma Thompson and producer Lindsay Doran, Emma Thompson's Golden Globe acceptance speech, deleted scenes, a theatrical trailer, and production notes.

My wife loves this old classic story. It was worth the purchase just to see her smile. It's a chick flick, but well worth it when it brings happiness to your sweetheart.

The Seabiscuit story is fascinating. This movie was so well played and historically pretty spot on. Highly recommend this movie.

Good traditional Christmas music. Johnny doesn't butcher traditional Christmas music like some do these days. Not a great album, but definitely a good one.

Well, I guess I got what I paid for. Larry was even more raunchy than he is on TV. I think he's seen his time, but it was worth a few bucks for a "few" laughs.

If you were a "Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons" fan, you can't go wrong with this CD. After seeing "Jersey Boys", we had to have more. If you lived in the 60s, this album will bring back great memories. Highly recommend!

Great compilation of Neil Diamond's hits.

We were looking for a good Neil Diamond album to listen to while we were driving on vacation. We were completely satisfied with this selection which had almost all of our favorite Neil Diamond songs. Neil Diamond's music is timeless. We couldn't have been more pleased.
