GrohDallas, TX02009-06-26Awesome moviesAfter searching for the original Toy Story movie I decided just to get the Collector's box. I read that the 10th Anniversary Toy Story was altered and I wanted none of that. My kids love this series and I'm glad I invested in the Ultimate Toy Box. I can't watch these movies enough.

Hunterturbie13Mesa, AZ02009-05-02Toy Story - The Ultimate Toy BoxAny fan of Pixar must have these titles in their DVD collection...it is amazing to watch the advances between these two releases. My son adores them and given that he is almost 3, wants to watch them over and over and over again....the story is so entertaining and the characters engaging that I don't mind doing so with him.B000B8QG0O50A23QCUY7W9YH27A23QCUY7W9YH27Nancy Hess-smithReading, PA United States02009-04-06My FAVORITE Disney/Pixar Movie!!!!This review is about Toy Story 2 as a movie and not the DVD set. That being said, the review will begin...I love this movie!!!! What imaginations the writers had! I am the biggest self-proclaimed toy(mostly doll) freak in the world, and this story captures exactly what I would imagine toys would think of in different situations. If I was a toy, I would certainly fear ending up in a yard sale! And Jessie....oh, Jessie....your song makes me cry! Emily had no business ditching you! How heartless can a person be?!! This movie ROCKS!!!DescriptionA Golden Globe Award winner for Best Picture, TOY STORY 2 has become a favorite all across the world, garnering praise from fans and critics everywhere. It's "an instant classic," raves New York Magazine. Now, in a 2-disc collector's edition with a sparkling theater mix, this groundbreaking animated adventure is even better! While Andy is away at summer camp, Woody is toynapped by Al, a greedy collector who needs Andy's favorite toy to complete his Roundup Gang collection. Together with Jessie, Bullseye, and the Prospector, Woody is on his way to a museum where he'll spend the rest of his life behind glass. It's up to Buzz, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Rex, and Slinky Dog to rescue their friend and remind him what being a toy is all about. Bursting with exclusive bonus features, including deleted scenes, outtakes, a new game, and much more, this hilarious comedy classic raises the bar on family entertainment to infinity and beyond.

McArthur02009-06-04Great family movieThis movie is a real joy to watch. Everyone in our family of six has really enjoyed it. It deals with a variety of topics and has a few male characters as well to keep the boys interested. All four of our children (boys and girls, ages 10 to 5 years) enjoy rewatching it; which is a rare treat in our house!B000WGVEAC50A9RUQJ9CB7APWA9RUQJ9CB7APWSuzanne02009-05-12Kit Kitridge DVDThe DVD arrived on time and my daughters have watching it several times. We are very satisfied with the ordering process and would definitely use Amazon again. They even shipped the items seperately because one of the items was going to be delayed. Thanks!B000WGVEAC50A2322WXE4172SGA2322WXE4172SGJ. DibbleCT, USA02009-04-22Kit Kitteredge movieI bought this movie for my daughter (10 years old) because she loves American Girl. I don't recommend buying it for little/young kids because it would be over their heads. It was perfect for my daughter, and we were pleasantly surprised it was a great overall movie for the whole family to watch. It was very well done, and really tells a story from that time period and what it was like to live during the Depression. To my surprise, even our young teenage son wound up watching it with us. I highly recommend it. B000WGVEAC50A3SCOMFF77SKCCA3SCOMFF77SKCCBookishtrinity2uPENN12009-04-12DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!This was a delightful little story. Even when dealing with some pretty heavy stuff. Kit, played by Abigail Breslin showed just the right amount of spunk and sweetness to keep this movie entertaining. It's what I would call a no worries type of picture that younger children can watch without parents having any worries about the content. Your children may even learn some great friendship lessons in the process. B000WGVEAC50A1HZT8F5E6TWEBA1HZT8F5E6TWEBJ. DavisLouisiana, USA02009-04-04Fun AND Educational (bonus!)I showed this to a class of 1st-3rd-graders studying The Great Depression in an American history class. The boys groaned when I told them it was an "American Girl" movie, but when the movie was over Kit Kittredge had won the attention and emotions of the 13 boys and 5 girls in the classroom.
<br />
<br />The movie, although set in Depression times in Cincinnatti,Ohio, is overall very positive and encouraging. Kit and her mother get creative in order to make ends meet and prevent foreclosure on their home. A emotionally-wrenching situation with Kit's father losing his job and having to move to Chicago resolves in the end. The neatest thing, in my opinion, is Kit (although young) is a writer and aspired to one day "see her name in print." The quick-witted Kit quickly learns that persistence, practice, patience and a creative "angle" were necessary for her "reporting" to get from her typewriter to newspaper print! DescriptionThe Great Depression hits home for nine-year-old Kit Kittredge when her dad loses his business and leaves to find work. Oscar nominee* Abigail Breslin stars as Kit, leading a splendid cast in the first-ever American Girl theatrical movie. In order to keep their home, Kit and her mother must take in boarders paying houseguests who turn out to be full of fascinating stories. When mothers lockbox containing all their money is stolen, Kits new hobo friend Will is the prime suspect. Kit refuses to believe that Will would steal, and her efforts to sniff out the real news get her and her friends into big trouble. The police say the robbery was an inside job, committed by someone they knew. So if it wasnt Will, then who did it?Amazon.comA period piece set in the Great Depression and based on the extremely popular <I>American Girl</I> book series, <I>Kit Kittredge</I> is a moving and believable story about a smart 10-year-old girl whose family is profoundly affected by the Depression. May, 1934 finds Kit Kittredge (Abigail Breslin) living a very comfortable life in a nice home with her mother (Julia Ormond) and father (Chris O'Donnell) despite the Depression that is affecting many of her neighbors. When her father's auto dealership is taken back by the bank, Kit's father is forced to head for Chicago to look for work, leaving his family struggling to make ends meet by taking in borders. Kindhearted and generous by nature, Kit's nose for news and her aspirations of becoming a great reporter lead her to write a portrait of the boardinghouse run by her mother, essentially a kid's view of the Depression as well as an article about hobos that challenges many commonly held prejudices. Kit determinedly submits her articles to the local Cincinnati Register paper, regardless of the chief editor's stern ways and obvious lack of interest. When her own family and boarders become the victims of a crime, Kit's must utilize her investigative skills to solve the crime and exonerate her friend Will (Max Thieriot). Breslin's performance in this film is stellar--viewers can't help but believe that she is Kit Kittredge. The filmmakers' attention to detail ensures that everything from scenery props to music and dialogue seem completely authentic, and performances by Joan Cusack as the mobile librarian, Stanley Tucci as the traveling magician, Jane Krakowski as the desperate-for-love dance instructor, and Zach Mills as Kit's young friend, are all impressive.

RobertsHadrian12Battle Creek, Michigan United States12009-06-11Sweet 16Samantha (Molly Ringwald) wakes up on the morning of her 16th birthday. This is a milestone most of us remember in one way, shape or form. After all, at 16 we're about 1/2 way through high school and just 2 years(!) away from having to be considered as adults. Just one problem: everyone has forgotten about Samantha's birthday. Oh no! With her older sister getting married, Samantha's family has had too many distractions to keep up with anything involving normalcy.
<br />
<br />Poor Samantha is also suffering the heartache of suffering a crush on a senior who could never return her love. Or could he? As Hamlet would say, THAT is the question! {Ah, nothing like teenage puppy love; my oh my how I remember it well}
<br />
<br />If you're into 80s nostalgia (like me!) then this DVD is a must-have. It stars Anthony Michael Hall as a mega-geek; just before his career flamed out. It also stars a young John Cusack in a bit part. Even though Cusack has maybe a dozen lines, one can still see the genesis of the on-screen charisma he would exude - little wonder that charisma launched him into stardom.
<br />
<br />Looking back 20+ years later, these so called "brat pack" movies are more important than ever for people like me who grew up during the 80s. While my HS years were far from the best years of my life, I still indulge in reminiscing from time to time. If you do the same, then this one is for you!
<br />
<br />Just one note: if this film were rated today, it would be at LEAST a PG-13 if not an "R." So.....if you're thinking about buying this for a daughter / niece who is turning 16, I'd think twice about it. I'll leave it @ that.B001AEF6BS51A3E3HVEJE1TKXCA3E3HVEJE1TKXCNorma RomeroChachisInglewood, Ca12009-05-01Awesome!I ordered it on Wednesday and got it by Friday.

Smithlover of classicsFallon, Nevada12009-04-0816 Candles revisitedThis movie is still as good if not better when it first premiered. It brings back fun memories of being 16 all over again. John Hughes has a knack for capturing the angst of young people. I will always be a big fan of his movies. Molly Ringwald is perfect in the role of Sam and Anthony Michael Hall as the geek.

<br />I mean really, come on ladies; JAKE RYAN...is there anything better.DescriptionOne of the most iconic teen comedies of the 1980s, Sixteen Candles, returns in an all-new Flashback Edition with never-before-seen bonus features! Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) is ready to make the most of her sweet sixteenth birthday … if only someone in her family would remember it. She’s your average teen, enduring creepy freshmen, spoiled siblings, confused parents and the “Big Blonde on Campus” who stands between her and the boy of her dreams. From writer/director John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Weird Science), Sixteen Candles is a warm-hearted coming-of-age comedy that helped define a generation!Amazon.com essential videoMolly Ringwald established herself as the teen queen of the '80s in this fresh comedy. The movie is a day in the life of Samantha, whose 16th birthday is turning out to be anything but sweet. All the traumas of teendom come down on one long day, which sees Samantha surrounded by dithery relatives, mooning over a high school hunk, and pursued by a sawed-off Lothario. <I>Sixteen Candles</I> marked the directing debut of John Hughes, and its goofy energy displayed a promising talent with a great ear for high school lingo ... a promise neglected since Hughes became, after <I>Home Alone</I>, a one-man entertainment industry. There are some pretty crass moments (Why the stereotype of the foreign-exchange student from Asia?), but Ringwald's steady appeal smoothes over the rough spots. As the pubescent, self-styled lady-killer, Anthony Michael Hall turns in a hilarious portrait of a young swinger; he and Ringwald would reteam with Hughes for <I>The Breakfast Club</I>, another key teen picture of the decade. <I>--Robert Horton</I>B000FZETIOPretty in Pink (Everything's Duckie Edition)B000BNX4MCFerris Bueller's Day Off Bueller...Bueller...

ChaoNorth Carolina02008-08-09One of the best films ever made.Corrina, Corrina is a brave movie, exploring a topic that few dare to touch. It would be all too easy for Corrina to be the comedian who makes everyone cheer up just to disappear into the background, as many African-American "maid" characters end up doing. Instead, she becomes the love interest, the ultimate female character, who has her own dreams, problems, complexities, and validity. I have loved this movie since I was a child, and recently watched it again to find that I still love it. It is extremely well-written, clever, and sad--yet hysterical, and it challenges all stereotypes, racial, temporal, and sexual, in a way that is extremely rare. Everyone should see it.Product DescriptionA FUNNY, HEARTWARMING STORY OF A NEWLY WIDOWED MAN STRUGGLING TO RAISE HIS LITTLE GIRL, AND THE WOMAN WHO BRINGS MAGIC AND LAUGHTER BACK INTO THEIR LIVES. SPECIAL FEATURES: THEATRICAL TRAILER, WIDESCREEN AND FULLSCREEN VERSIONS, CAST AND CREW FILMOGRAPHIES AND SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH.Amazon.com essential videoRay Liotta plays a 1950s jingle composer whose wife dies, leaving him to raise their grieving young daughter (Tina Majorino) alone. Dad hires an African-American housekeeper (Whoopi Goldberg), who helps fill the gap in the child's life--and then Dad's life--and soon an interracial relationship crossing the social mores of the era is underway. Written and directed by Jessie Nelson, the film is a spot-on recreation of '50s suburbia without gratuitous kitsch. Liotta is perfect as a working man of the day, given to white shirts and narrow ties; Goldberg gives one of her finest performances as the levelheaded Corrina; and little Majorino is heartbreakingly effective. But the film entirely bears the stamp of one person, and that's Nelson, who has a wonderfully witty eye and a sophisticated but sensitive approach to the crosscurrents of emotion at play in this story. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> B00009AVA2Curly Sue6305212112Fried Green Tomatoes (Widescreen Collector's Edition)6305133417Made in AmericaB000002WQOCorrina, Corrina: The Original Motion Picture SoundtrackB000087F7DDriving Miss Daisy (Special Edition)163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video899772Whoopi Goldberg899692Comedy Stars163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722747011General AAS163375Romantic Comedies163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163390General163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video722752011General AAS740138Family Life163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video722753011General AAS163394Love & Romance163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video291309Period Piece163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video1693950114-for-3 All DVDs1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video410372Ameche, Don409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419504Cusack, Joan416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419844Darbo, Patrika419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video425278Goldberg, Whoopi424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video433710Liotta, Ray432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video434922Majorino, Tina434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video437366Miller, Larry434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video449710Toji, Marcus448792( T )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video451220Walden, Lynette451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video451892Webb, Lucy451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video460310Nelson, Jessie460246( N )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video3151151$5.99 & Under1061354The Big DVD Sale251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579516( C )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video672579011The Kids and Family Mega Sale: DVDs, Toys, and Customized Music44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video672577011Amazon.com Movies & TV: Special Feature 616285171Featured Stores49598011Special Features130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390120011Full Screen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405386011PG405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 - 1999562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoRPICDHV1O6T9QGreat Interracial (BWWM) Relationships EntertainmentR1N7NJI4ZFDBTUQuintessential Black Movies, Part 3R1LXARHIKX1IPSWhoopi Goldberg: 5 (other) Oscar-Worthy RolesRZ9Y273HO94C9My favorite moviesR1HFMQ23AP5D1Z10 Movies: Why We Know Whoopi GoldbergR1WQPEAO3SHLUXWMBW - FilmR2TEEQO0NCZSUJBreaking the barrier: Stories of love, romance & race, color &cultureR12B5QFL58MNHZbreak out the kleenexR3T8QJVKU2CYGPWhoopi Goldberg and MeR1VFHZCKB6W73XMovies with Interracial Couples-Black Female Lead

CRADDOCKCr@$#!!!!Bakersfield02009-06-30Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthdayJohn Cusack is handsome, but in a strange way. As a leading man, he remains an Everyman, or even an Underdog. In fact, the perfect role for him would have been Jughead Jones if they ever made a live-action version of Archie. But the next best role for John Cusack would have to be Rob Gordon, record store owner, the role he plays in High Fidelity. It is next to perfect for him.
<br />
<br />A break up with his girl friend Laura causes him to re-evaluate his whole life, and since he is accustomed to making lists, of his top five favorite records, for instance, he makes a list of his top five break ups, and tries to track them all down and ask them each what went wrong.
<br />
<br />He is semi-cool, but as he looks down on his customers, record geeks with a vinyl fetish, mostly young men - who spend all their time looking for deleted Smith singles and original, not re-released - underlined - Frank Zappa albums, he admits that, well, he is one of them.
<br />
<br />Tearing down the fourth wall, he speaks directly to the camera, and lets you in on how men really think about women and life in general. He exposes all of his fears, insecurities, and vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, he is compiling lists of his top five break ups, his top five favorite songs, and his top five dream careers. It sounds like it would be dreary, like being stuck at a non-alcoholic cocktail party with insufferable bores talking endlessly about their stamp collections, but it is great, it is funny, and it is insightful; because I know this guy. I am this guy. I make his lists. I love this movie. High Fidelity is on my list of the top five films of all time.
<br />
<br />If I was hired to work in his record store part time, I would show up every day, just like Dick (Todd Louiso) and Barry (Jack Black).
<br />
<br />Though based on a book by Englishman Nick Hornby, the story was moved to Chicago, and all the cultural reference points were adjusted accordingly by screen writer D.V. DeVincentis. It is amazing how astute he is. He either venerates or abhors said cultural reference points, with laser-like accuracy.
<br />
<br />Jack Black is an incredible comedian with precise comedic timing. In High Fidelity he is in top form, playing over the top, admittedly, but as long as the director (Stephen Frears) doesn't exceed the recommended dosage -- and he doesn't -- Black is perfect. Black is the new black. Todd Louiso as the shy Dick also scores highly in the humor department, but his is the understated humor of a Buster Keaton.
<br />
<br />Iben Hjejle as Laura does a great job. Some other reviewers complained about her fake sounding American accent, but I didn't notice that, even after it was pointed out. I think she did a splendid job. She may be Danish, but she ain't no cheese danish. She was by turns funny, angry, sexy, supportive, despondent -- whatever the scene called for, she delivered.
<br />
<br />John Cusack really carried the whole movie, but he was ably supported at every turn by the excellent cast. Lisa Bonet, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lili Taylor, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, and Sara Gilbert, along with all the rest, really made High Fidelity an excellent example of cinematic art. Jokes, epiphanies, cultural reference points, and astute observations were thrown at Cusack and the ensemble, but they juggled all the flaming chainsaws with aplomb, imperturbable self-possession, and panache. High Fidelity can be watched again and again. Each time you watch you will discover new jokes, new juxtapositions, and new nuances to enjoy. I cannot recommend High Fidelity highly enough. If I could give it up to ten stars, I would give it eleven.

<br />THE TOP 5 CULTURAL REFERENCE POINTS IN HIGH FIDELITY
<br />
<br />1. Barry: [Imitating Cosby] A Cosssssssby sweater. Did Laura let you leave the house like that? (The Cosby Show (1984-1992) [Lisa Bonet, who plays Marie De Salle, played Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show]
<br />2. Rob Gordon's girlfriend is named Laura, so they are Rob and Laura like Rob and Laura Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-1966)
<br />3. When Rob is talking to Marie De Salle in the bar they find they both liked "The Prisoner" (1967) starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan
<br />4. Barry and Dick say that "You Can't Always Get What You Want" must be disqualified from one of their Top 5 lists because it was used in "The Big Chill" (1983)
<br />5. When Rob, Dick, and Barry are watching Marie de Salle sing Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way" and they all admit that they used to hate the song, but enthralled by Marie's version, now they kinda like it

<br />THE TOP 5 LINES IN HIGH FIDELITY
<br />
<br />1. Barry's Customer: Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthday.
<br />2. Dick: Marie de Salle's playing. You remember I told you about her. I like her. She's kind of Sheryl Crow-ish crossed with a post-Partridge Family pre-L.A. Law Susan Dey kind of thing, but, you know, uh, black.
<br />3. Barry: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was classified information. I mean, I know we don't have any customers, but I thought that was a bad thing, not like, a business strategy [smacks Rob]
<br />4. Rob Gordon: Hey, I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I'm certainly not the dumbest. I mean, I've read books like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Love in the Time of Cholera", and I think I've understood them. They're about girls, right? Just kidding. But I have to say my all-time favorite book is Johnny Cash's autobiography "Cash" by Johnny Cash.
<br />5. Rob: No. I only have a few left, I've been saving them for later.

<br />==================================================
<br />B00003CXGA21AMNNPDX9MFEUDAMNNPDX9MFEUDSteveNevada12009-03-29Settling for the safe routeHi Fidelity is one of the many movies that comes highly recommended and fails to deliver. In keeping with the spirit of it, however, let me present The Top Five reasons that Hi Fidelity is an average movie:
<br />1. John Cusack. He is an actor I'm not sold on by any means despite having seen many of his films. Herein he does his Woody Allen best to talk to the audience about his failed relationships. I don't know what it is about Cusack specifically, maybe it's his weasely look, maybe it's the lack of charisma that some actors have and that others don't, or maybe it's the fact that all the smoking, hunched over slacker posing, and Intro to Drama mannerisms he employs fail to convince me that he is capable of carrying a film, especially as an adult. For comparative purposes, Jack Black steals every scene he is in, as does Catherine Zeta-Jones.
<br />2. The film fails to deliver on either the romantic or comedic level, the two genres it's targeted towards. Not ever funny enough (save the fantasy sequence with Robbins in the record store) or romantic enough, it left me wanting so much more.
<br />3. The premise is clogged by errors that undermine it completely. More glaring; how is it that this man of Top Five lists, who obsesses about chronicling his life and the minutiae therein into portable containers of memory, not realize until years afterward that one of his five biggest break-ups was caused by him and thus not even a part of his list? It would be akin to maintaining a Top Five records list that features a t.v. show. That seems so incredible to me that I almost wondered why the film put it in. I assume it's to show that his hindsight has sharpened some and he can absorb the blame that he used to reflect onto others, but I'm not convinced.
<br />4. Given number three, I'm not sold on his relationship and life epiphanies, and so, reason four. Zeta-Jones' character has it right when she rolls her eyes in exasperation at yet another "what is it all about?" person who can solve such a momentous question by focusing solely on failed relationships. It's the equivalent of trying to find a cure for cancer by focusing on male enhancement formulas. Furthermore, when he does make some realizations, he makes the wrong ones! Say what you want about her shallow character or Black's elitist music geek; they both stay honest to their core personality.
<br />5. He chooses the wrong girl. He settles. He makes the choice that this woman, for whom he clearly has major problems, is the answer to his dreams simply because he is tired of looking. That's it. You can couch it in your own terms, but for me, his revelation to his on/off girlfriend that he has decided against pursuing the record reviewing woman who recently entered his life for her and their problematic relationship is a safe, scared, and uninspired moment of clarity. Call me bitter, a romantic idiot, a dreamer, a relationship elitist, or whatever you wish, but if you are really happy with the person you are with, if you really can't wait to see them each day, if the rest of the people in the world disappear when they enter the room, why would you ever find yourself considering someone else? That's not true love, that's settling for satisfactory. He should have moved forward and tried life with the other girl instead of moving backward. Maybe he grew up some and assumed some responsibility and ownership for his life. If that's the moral of the story, forgive me for not agreeing. If you believe that growing up and maturing means settling into the slow, passive crawl to death, go right ahead. Cusack's Rob character is thus a faux-rebel; a person who outwardly wants to be different and unique and fight the system that grinds romantic souls into complacent couples, but inwardly he longs to get off the train at Cul de Sac, USA where satisfied couples gather on Saturdays with the women drinking Merlot inside and talking about their new house additions or taking care of the kids and the guys in the back yard drinking light beer and comparing barbecue grills or titanium drivers. The moral of that story? Find any way you can to stuff material items into the emptiness in your heart and soul. Can you smell the banality? Me, I'm going after The One until I find her and I won't settle for less and I'll consequently avoid ever repeating those pathetic suburban nightmares that I once endured.
<br />Hi Fidelity settles.

Cusack in one of his best roles!!!Personally I think this is John Cusack at his best since "Say Anything". It is the ultimate break-up/relationship movie for men (and some women). It's very no-nonsense, comical & entertaining guide at how we love and sometimes lose the ones we care about the most. A++++++ Must view; however the book is even better.B00003CXGA31A3AVJCB1ZD6ZY5A3AVJCB1ZD6ZY5R. KyleUSA12008-12-29I'll take the soundtrack insteadRob Gordon (John Cusack) didn't exactly become what he wanted. He owns a vintage vinyl record shop and works it with a pair of oddball salespeople who are possibly more disenfranchised than he. His top career choice would have been writer for Rolling Stone Magazine, but there were four others as well.
<br />
<br />Now, his girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle) is moving out of their apartment. She was five on his Top Five list of most devastating breakups. Rob believes girls 1-4 somehow set him up for failure for this relationship. So, he contacts the ones who got away to find out why.
<br />
<br />It took me a while to warm up to character, story, etc, but my husband got it. This may be the male equivalent of the chick flick. Guy flick? Fellow film? For some reason, none of them have the same ring. While I didn't quite get the film, I'd highly recommend the soundtrack. Great tunes!

<br />2000 brought us High Fidelity, the movie adaptation of the popular book by Nick Hornby of the same title. The tale of Rob Gordon(John Cusak) a socially awkward, music elitist who owns a small vinyl record store.
<br />
<br />When his live-in girlfriend Laura(Iben Hjejle) leaves him, Rob begins to further to wallow in his own sadness by relieving his top five heartbreaks and rejections. From his first junior high girlfriend of three days to the woman who can never be single but left him for a better option, Rob is set on deciphering exactly what it is about him that always leaves him rejected.
<br />
<br />Perhaps a slow and boring plot to some, High Fidelity is carried if nothing more, by the brilliance and pathetic portrayal of Cusak. The way this man can ramble, list and explain must be an art!
<br />
<br />Not to mention a brilliant soundtrack boasting hits by The Kinks, The Velvet Underground, and Stereolab; they all fit the tales of Rob Gordon's past rejections perfectly.
<br />
<br />"It would be nice to think that since I was 14, times have changed. Relationships have become more sophisticated. Females less cruel. Skins thicker. Instincts more developed. But there seems to be an element of that afternoon in everything that's happened to me since. All my romantic stories are a scrambled version of that first one."
<br />
<br />For the music elitists, those of us who still search for a favorite disk on vinyl, or anyone who still evaluates their past, mistakes and all.
<br /> DescriptionFrom the guys who brought you GROSSE POINTE BLANK comes the absolutely hilarious HIGH FIDELITY. John Cusack (BEING JOHN MALKOVICH) stars as Rob Gordon, the owner of a semi-failing record store located on one of the back streets of Chicago. He sells music the old-fashioned way -- on vinyl, with two wacky clerks, the hysterically funny rock snob Barry (Jack Black) and the more quietly opinionated underachiever Dick (Todd Luiso). But Rob's business isn't the only thing in his life that's floundering -- his needle skips the love groove when his longtime girlfriend Laura (newcomer Iben Hjejle) walks out on him. And this forces him to examine his past failed attempts at romance the only way he knows how! For a rocking fun time, give HIGH FIDELITY a spin. It's sure to make your all-time top five list for comedies -- with a bullet.Amazon.comTransplanted from England to the not-so-mean streets of Chicago, the screen adaptation of Nick Hornby's cult-classic novel <I>High Fidelity</I> emerges unscathed from its Americanization, idiosyncrasies intact, thanks to John Cusack's inimitable charm and a nimble, nifty screenplay (cowritten by Cusack). Early-thirtysomething Rob Gordon (Cusack) is a slacker who owns a vintage record shop, a massive collection of LPs, and innumerable top-five lists in his head. At the opening of the film, Rob recounts directly to the audience his all-time top-five breakups--which doesn't include his recent falling out with his girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle), who has just moved out of their apartment. Thunderstruck and obsessed with Laura's desertion (but loath to admit it), Rob begins a quest to confront the women who instigated the aforementioned top-five breakups to find out just what he did wrong. <p> Low on plot and high on self-discovery, <I>High Fidelity</I> takes a good 30 minutes or so to find its groove (not unlike Cusack's <I>Grosse Pointe Blank</I>), but once it does, it settles into it comfortably and builds a surprisingly touching momentum. Rob is basically a grown-up version of Cusack's character in <I>Say Anything</I> (who was told "Don't be a guy--be a man!"), and if you like Cusack's brand of smart-alecky romanticism, you'll automatically be won over (if you can handle Cusack's almost-nonstop talking to the camera). Still, it's hard not to be moved by Rob's plight. At the beginning of the film he and his coworkers at the record store (played hilariously by Jack Black and Todd Louiso) seem like overgrown boys in their secret clubhouse; by the end, they've grown up considerably, with a clear-eyed view of life. Ably directed by Stephen Frears (<I>Dangerous Liaisons</I>), <I>High Fidelity</I> features a notable supporting cast of the women in Rob's life, including the striking, Danish-born Hjejle, Lisa Bonet as a sultry singer-songwriter, and the triumphant triumvirate of Lili Taylor, Joelle Carter, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Rob's ex-girlfriends. With brief cameos by Tim Robbins as Laura's new, New Age boyfriend and Bruce Springsteen as himself. <I>--Mark Englehart</I>B00003CXCISay Anything1558908382Grosse Pointe BlankB00003CXMGAlmost FamousB00005JKFABetter Off DeadB00003CY6MSerendipity163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291136Friends291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video899740John Cusack899692Comedy Stars163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video541478Contemporary163375Romantic Comedies163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722747011General AAS163375Romantic Comedies163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163390General163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video554612Springsteen, Bruce465350Artists163420Music Video & Concerts404276Genres130DVD139452Video722774011General AAS511462Classic Rock163420Music Video & Concerts404276Genres130DVD139452Video524762Rock163428Musicals508528Musicals & Performing Arts404276Genres130DVD139452Video413206Black, Jack411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video413648Bonet, Lisa411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419504Cusack, Joan416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419506Cusack, John416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video424954Gilbert, Sara424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video443780Robbins, Tim442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video447654Springsteen, Bruce444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video449086Taylor, Lili448792( T )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video451156Wagner, Natasha Gregson451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video430158Zeta Jones, Catherine453752( Z )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video456898Frears, Stephen456580( F )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579526( H )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405388011R405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620920112000 & Newer562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoR1KRGUELN18XFPThe Final Fifty Movies I Will Own: Part OneR2Q9MV15TOY1CDChicago MoviesR2VB7WV8S1DHZHTop 80 since '80 (pt 1)R1ESNENYBNIIYHSteve's 20 Favorite MoviesR3G89TCLJQBK3LMust Own MoviesR2HPHYHOB8NCVRBEST MOVIES...PERIOD :)R1MDF6123L9OJMy Very Favorite FilmsR2TM68AKXMS6SERomantic Comedies: A Guys PerspectiveRDBUS3INA1FS3Films That Shouldn't Go Unseen.

<br />
<br />In and Out is humming along merrily before a gut-wrenchingly awful scene in the school's auditorium grinds the pleasantly-amusing comedy to a screeching halt; if I think a little I can remember the scenes in the film that made me laugh, but the first thing that comes to mind is that shamelessly terrible and agonizingly long sequence near the end.630512767040A1B2MKFWK7JUBIA1B2MKFWK7JUBIN. W. Carlemovie revSedalia MO12008-10-21Great castAn amusing and tender-hearted take on self-discovery and acceptance of differences. Every cast member is terrific: Kline at his best, Cusack incredibly funny, Reynolds seniorly sparkling, and Newhart -- well, Newhart.630512767021A2PV6GK1HV54Y9A2PV6GK1HV54Y9ADRIENNE MILLERTENNESSEE12008-10-18Average.In & Out starring Kevin Kline is a pretty tame and predictable film. Kline is a talented actor so his performance is clever and memorable but the plot and jokes fall flat, everyone raved about this film when it was released in 1997, but I found this "coming out" story completely shallow and lifeless. Matt Dillion is also good in this, wish his character was in the film more. So-so comedy that left me bored, decide for yourself.630512767031A3JNICYJRSVGA9A3JNICYJRSVGA9Comic OnlineWashington, DC United States32007-07-26Comedy was mediocre...but NOT propagandaFirst let me say that i really wanted to like this movie a lot. NOT because it's a gay movie, but because i really like Kevin Kline.
<br />
<br />The detractors say it's a propaganda film. How is showing a movie where a gay person is a GOOD person propaganda? Is the Cosby Show black propaganda, because they show a happy, rich black family? Seriously. Don't you right-wing nuts have an abortion doctor to kill or something?
<br />
<br />Ok, now on the the movie itself. Kevin Kline did a fairly good job in the movie, as did Newhart and Debbie Reynolds. But to me, the actor who stole the show was Joan Cusack. She was very funny in this role, and that made it watchable. Also, the small town setting & locations were warm and inviting.
<br />
<br />But the movie certainly had some problems. With the exception of the supporting cast, the comedy (particularly what they gave Kevin Kline to work with) was pretty weak. It was predictable, easy, old, hacky, and really just played upon the most BASIC stereotypes of gay people. I was offended. But not because of the stereotypes. I was offended comedically because of the lack of clever writing. Yes, yes, we all know many gay people like Streisand, dancing, snappy dressing, and the arts. It's tired. This might have been funny to me 20 or 30 years ago. But now? Uggghhh.... Somehow, they gave Cusack all the best comedy. She played the perfect comedic foil for Kline, as she was so fragile, so lacking in self-esteem, and constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. "Is everyone gay?!"
<br />
<br />I enjoyed the overall story that was being told. I really just wish the comedic writing was better.630512767051A1VSGFX10TFOS4A1VSGFX10TFOS4Jennifer WeyhrichMariMonSioux City, Ia. USA32007-07-05Oh Mary, this is a fantabulous movie!!We have LOVED this movie for years. It's Kevin Kline at his comedy best, playing a gay man thinking he's straight. What a hoot! And Joan Cusack is his beautiful bride to be. Fun for the whole family. We had it on vhs and decided that we loved it so much, we wanted it on dvd. A movie that should not be missed. Product DescriptionKLINE DELIVERS A HILARIOUS PERFORMANCE AS HOWARD BRACKETT, A SMALL-TOWNTEACHER WHO BECOMESBIG NEWS WHEN A FORMER STUDENT ANNOUNCES ON TELEVISION THAT HOWARD IS GAY.Amazon.comWhen a Hollywood heartthrob (Matt Dillon, playing a Brad Pitt look-alike) "outs" his small-town high-school drama teacher Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline) during the Oscar telecast, the entire (fictional) town of Greenleaf, Indiana, wonders if Howard's really gay. More to the point, Howard wonders, too--quite a dilemma considering his pending marriage to Emily (Joan Cusack), who's patiently tolerated a three-year engagement. While a TV reporter (Tom Selleck) covers the ensuing furor, screenwriter Paul Rudnick and director Frank Oz make good-natured humor their highest priority, turning the "crisis" of coming out into a laugh-out-loud spin on conventional romantic comedy. The result is a film that delivers constant laughs and a golden opportunity for its fine cast to show off their considerable comedic talents--especially Cusack, who deservedly earned an Oscar nomination for her hilarious performance as the bride who's almost as confused as her would-be husband. That Rudnick and Oz have made a great comedy that's both old-fashioned and relevant to the late 20th century is no small feat, but <i>In & Out</i> has no hidden agenda apart from its triumphant desire to entertain. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i> 0792833198The BirdcageB0000714BPTo Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar6304907613DaveB00005QTAVSoapdishB000035Z1ZFrench Kiss163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291150Wedding Bells291147Love & Romance291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291140Small Town Life291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video14155001Comedy of Manners291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video408212Gay & Lesbian163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291190School Days163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video1081760114-for-3 Comedy1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1693950114-for-3 All DVDs1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video410366Ambrose, Lauren409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video414366Brimley, Wilford411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video416294Cameron, J Smith416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419414Cunningham, John416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419504Cusack, Joan416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video420746Dillon, Matt419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video426918Harlow, Shalom426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video427238Hatosy, Shawn426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video428250Holden, Alexandra426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video429714Jbara, Gregory429340( J )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video431664Kline, Kevin430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video437774Monk, Debra434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video439114Newhart, Bob438726( N )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video440190Orth, Zak439610( O )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video443326Reynolds, Debbie442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video444660Rush, Deborah442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video444870Sabella, Ernie444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video445926Selleck, Tom444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video447690Stadlen, Lewis J444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video448128Stewart, Kate Mcgregor444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video460598Oz, Frank460446( O )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video3234081All Paramount3234061Paramount Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video3234121Comedy3234061Paramount Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579528( I )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405387011PG-13405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 -

It's actually one of my all-time favorite movies. If you ever get the chance, you should definitely watch it! It is extremely well-written and an all-in-all funny and uplifting movie.
<br />
<br />As others commented earlier, the DVD quality itself isn't all that great, even if you don't like extras, the picture quality has been completely downgraded. In other words, if you get the chance, watch the movie, it's worth more than 5 stars...if you can buy another dvd version...I'd do it. This came out looking more like a basement production due to the picture quality, which somewhat distracted from how amazing this movie really it. 155890838240A3LH77PBDFEO3FA3LH77PBDFEO3FG. E. WilliamsNunahCalifornia02009-05-14Excllent Dark Comedy ( and Minnie Driver!)Recently I bought the (sort of) sequel to this great movie, War, Inc.which was not excellent. But it did remind me of how much I loved this movie and hadn't seen it in years so I ordered a copy which arrived this week, and today I sat down and watched it again, and it is still a Dark Comic gem.
<br />
<br />Full of manic ramblings, fun action and redemptive romance, this remains a favorite of mine, 12 years later.

A dark comedy with a love story. Yes and thank you! Everything about this movie is spot on: cast, acting, story, writing, execution....155890838240A1Q7EWO83HN4B8A1Q7EWO83HN4B8Col McFetridgeSaber 6Houston, Texas, USA02009-02-01Unusual but entertainingThis is an unusual romantic comedy about a relationship between a professional hit man and his high school sweetheart. The plot is a little contrived and there is a lot of gunfire and dead bodies. But, the cast is stellar. I began watching it on vacation but the copy was defective and we couldn't see the last 10 minutes. It was sufficiently enjoyable that we bought the movie to see the ending. DescriptionHere's the killer comedy hit that's loaded with outrageous fun! For Martin Blank (John Cusack -- HIGH FIDELITY, SERENDIPITY), a hit man stuck in a career rut, attending his 10-year high school reunion is about the last thing he's in the mood for! But when the prospects of rekindling an old flame (Minnie Driver -- GOOD WILL HUNTING) and pulling off one final job convince him to go, things are looking up ... that is, until Martin's arch rival (Dan Aykroyd) shows up aiming to blow the competition away! For hilarious comedy entertainment that's packed with action, GROSSE POINTE BLANK is a surefire knockout!Amazon.comHit man Martin Q. Blank (John Cusack) is in an awkward situation. Several of them, actually. He's attending his high school reunion on an assignment; he's got a rival hit man (Dan Aykroyd) on his tail; and he's going to have to explain to his old girlfriend (Minnie Driver) why he stood her up on prom night. This amiable black comedy, cowritten by Cusack and directed by Jonathan Demme protégé George Armitage (<I>Miami Blues</I>), has the feel of Demme's <I>Something Wild</I> and <I>Married to the Mob</I>--which is to say its humor is dark and brightly colored at the same time. Cusack and Driver are utterly charming--as is the leading man's sister, Joan, who plays his secretary. (Ms. Cusack received an Oscar nomination for her next role, in <I>In & Out</i>.) Alan Arkin is also very funny as Martin's psychiatrist. <I>--Jim Emerson</I>B00003CXGAHigh FidelityB00005JKFABetter Off DeadB00003CXCISay AnythingB00003CY6MSerendipityB00009OWJYThe Sure Thing (Special Edition)163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video720556Black Comedy163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video899718Dan Aykroyd899692Comedy Stars163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video899740John Cusack899692Comedy Stars163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video541478Contemporary163375Romantic Comedies163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722787011General AAS541980Crime512030Mystery & Suspense404276Genres130DVD139452Video410874Arkin, Alan409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video411278Aykroyd, Dan409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video411298Azaria, Hank409682( A )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419322Cudlitz, Michael416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419496Cusack, Ann416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419504Cusack, Joan416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419506Cusack, John416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video421334Driver, Minnie419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video423932Freeman, K Todd422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video426980Harris, Barbara426368( H )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video429484Jacott, Carlos429340( J )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video431602Kissel, Audrey430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video438068Moreno, Belita434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video441752Piven, Jeremy440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video442076Powell, Brian440340( P )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video449040Taylor, Duffy448792( T )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video449494Thorlakson, Wendy448792( T )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video454284Armitage, George454022( A )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579524( G )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671501011Letterboxed390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405388011R405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 - 1999562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603119011Letterboxed603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoR3LVY8GDQCZMOWMy favorite movies?R2TM68AKXMS6SERomantic Comedies: A Guys PerspectiveRVC6IHKDYXBK9Movies I LikeR2MJT1LC6S7NBQRewatchable Comedies.R2K2VSL21OEZEYJohn Cusack MoviesR2HZ50O8ZAZ52RMovies Worth Buying, Volume 7R21MYODCRLFB4EI miss the 90'sR3SYJCRTXL59G8My Favorite Criminal ComediesR3JH9XTUGL38FOAshley's Must-See Comedy MoviesR1GI4LYFBLCSQMBest John Cusack movies

CRADDOCKCr@$#!!!!Bakersfield12008-07-01don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anythingCameron Crowe directed this little movie, and he has created a feminist statement. It is from the romantic comedy, subdivision teen, genre, but it is a story told from a female perspective. It is like a female fantasy, new age sensitive guy--but the problem is, in real life the girl would never go for the guy, even though in the fantasy movie they do, in real life, not so much. But if you can suspend your disbelief long enough, it is an entertaining little tale.
<br />
<br />Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) met Diane Court (Ione Skye) in a mall food court, but she is way out of his league. She has a fellowship and she is headed for the Ivy League. Lloyd Dobler has only feeble dreams of kick boxing glory, but though he is hopelessly outclassed, he goes for her anyway.
<br />
<br />Her father, Jim Court (John Mahoney), presents Lloyd's main obstacle. Hey, it's Martin Crane, from the Frasier TV Show. His character here is much meaner than Marty Crane:
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />Jim Court: You're not a permanent part of her life. You're a distraction.
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />
<br />He is so protective of his daughter; you'd think he was jealous. He just wants the best for her, though. But what he does to get it, you don't want to know. That is the skeleton in his closet.
<br />
<br />Lloyd is a post-modern, sensitive male. He even has female friends--chief among them Corey Flood. She and D.C. (Amy Brooks) offer moral support and advice:
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />Corey Flood: Diane Court doesn't go out with guys like you. She's a brain.
<br />D.C.: Trapped in the body of a game-show hostess.
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />
<br />But Corey has a few issues of her own. She has more baggage than a three-wheeled cart stuck on a Jet Blue tarmac. She has written 65 songs about Joe, her ex-boyfriend, and she carries a guitar to parties where she makes her friends listen to them all. In spite of their advice about the hopelessness of pursuing Diane Court Lloyd soldiers on. He is persistent, I'll give him that. And it pays off:
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />Corey Flood: Did you sleep with her?
<br />Lloyd Dobler: I admit nothing.
<br />D.C.: Lloyd, it's us.
<br />Corey Flood: Look at his face. He did the deed.
<br />D.C.: You're an inspiration, Lloyd. You should go on the 700 Club or something.
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />
<br />They are not the only ones who are baffled by the headway Lloyd is making with Diane Court:
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />Mike Cameron: I don't know you very well, you know, but I wanted to ask you - how'd you get Diane Court to go out with you?
<br />Lloyd Dobler: I called her up.
<br />Mike Cameron: But how come it worked? I mean, like, what are you?
<br />Lloyd Dobler: I'm Lloyd Dobler.
<br />Mike Cameron: This is great. This gives me hope. Thanks.
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />
<br />This story is boy-gets-girl, boy-loses-girl, so you know the boy just simply must get-girl-back. But not without a lot of pain and anguish on the boy's part:
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />D.C.: Lloyd, why do you have to be like this?
<br />Lloyd Dobler: 'Cause I'm a guy. I have pride.
<br />Corey Flood: You're not a guy.
<br />Lloyd Dobler: I am.
<br />Corey Flood: No. The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />
<br />Lloyd finally has his epiphany, and sets out after Diane with renewed purpose:
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />Lloyd Dobler: The rain on my car is a baptism, the new me, Ice Man, Power Lloyd, my assault on the world begins now.
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />
<br />In summary, this was a very solid effort by director Cameron Crowe. The young John Cusack totally carries the film, an unlikely but irrepressible leading man, a veritable force of nature. Ione Skye, the daughter of Scottish singer Donovan, has the rock star daughter looks of a Liv Tyler, but with brains, or she can at least pass for a valedictorian. She hits all the right notes, and looks smart doing it. Lili Taylor really stood out in her small part of female pal. And great laughs at the contrast when he hangs out with the guys. They give stupid advice, much worse than he gets from his female friends. My favorite character here is Mark (Jeremy Piven).
<br />
<br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />Lloyd Dobler: I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?
<br />Joe: By choice, man.
<br />Mark: Yeah. By choice.
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />
<br />
<br />Lloyd might not know what he wants to do, other than hang out with Jim Court's daughter, but he knows what he doesn't want:
<br />
<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br />Lloyd Dobler: I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

<br />B00003CXCI30A2PV6GK1HV54Y9A2PV6GK1HV54Y9ADRIENNE MILLERTENNESSEE02008-06-06Decent romantic drama.People love this movie but Say Anything is the kind of teen film that fades with time. The soundtrack is the true winner but I felt kind of felt disappointed after watching this John Cusack flick. He is a great actor and so is Ione Skye who plays his love interest but I feel writer/director Cameron Crowe's writing is overrated, not sure why he gets so much attention. This film is good just not as tender-hearted as I thought it would be. DescriptionIn this charming critically-acclaimed tale of first love, Lloyd (John Cusack), an eternal optimist, seeks to capture the heart of Diane, an unattainable high school beauty and straight-A student (Ione Skye). He surprises just about everyone-including himself-when she returns the sentiment. But Diane's over-possessive, divorced Dad (John Mahoney) doesn't approve and it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.Amazon.com essential videoSeven years after he earned his first screen credit as the writer of <i>Fast Times at Ridgemont High</i>, former <i>Rolling Stone</i> writer Cameron Crowe made his directorial debut with this acclaimed romantic comedy starring John Cusack and Ione Skye as unlikely lovers on the cusp of adulthood. The casting is perfect, and Crowe's rookie direction is appropriately unobtrusive, no doubt influenced by his actor-loving, Oscar®-winning mentor, James L. Brooks. But the real strength of Crowe's work is his exceptional writing, his timely grasp of contemporary rhythms and language (he's frequently called "the voice of a generation"), and the rich humor and depth of his fully developed characters. In <i>Say Anything...</i> Cusack and Skye play recent high school graduates enjoying one final summer before leaping into a lifetime of adult responsibilities. Lloyd (Cusack) is an aspiring kickboxer with no definite plans; Diane (Skye) is a valedictorian with intentions to further her education in Europe. Together they find unlikely bliss, but there's also turbulence when Diane's father (John Mahoney)--who only wants what's best for his daughter--is charged with fraud and tax evasion. Favoring strong performances over obtrusive visual style, Crowe focuses on his unique characters and the ambitions and fears that define them; the movie's a treasure trove of quiet, often humorous revelations of personality. Lili Taylor and Eric Stoltz score high marks for memorable supporting roles, and Cusack's own sister Joan is perfect in scenes with her onscreen and offscreen brother. A rare romantic comedy that's as funny as it is dramatically honest, <i>Say Anything...</i> marked the arrival of a gifted writer-director who followed up with the underrated <i>Singles</i> before scoring his first box-office smash with <i>Jerry Maguire</i>. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i>B00005JKFABetter Off DeadB000FZETIOPretty in Pink (Everything's Duckie Edition)B001AEF6BSSixteen CandlesB000FZETKCSome Kind of Wonderful (Special Collector's Edition)B001AEF6BIThe Breakfast Club163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video899262James L.

Tuggleillustrator02009-06-23Good family funAs an artist, I have my share of animated movies for their quality animation, story lines and their vivid colors. This movie fits all those categories as well. It's fun, entertaining and colorful. Highly recommend it.B000DWMYQ810A2WT6KLQARRJCHA2WT6KLQARRJCHAlex BodnarSouth Central LA, CA USA02009-06-21Lower your child's self-esteem with Chicken Little!I read all of the 1 star and 2 star comments and was shocked that no one mentioned the real problem of the movie...Everyone is just plain mean to Chicken Little. Why? Even the dad openly says that he's embarrassed of his kid. You would think that he would be extremely protective of his son ever since the wife's (hen's) absence. Chicken Little is surprisingly strong-willed despite the fact that everyone in the town considers him to be crazy and a loser. Other than the fact that he's small the characters all promote bullying. And what was the redeeming factor of the movie? The lead chick tells his dad that "he's never there for him." Duh. ... My daughter is 2.5 and really didn't get the story. All she saw was bright lights, loud noises, and cute animals. She obviously liked the movie. There's no way I'll show this to her when she's older. I can just picture her asking me, "How come the daddy chicken hates Chicken Little?" ...ummB000DWMYQ850AKNT0X3NEZIT5AKNT0X3NEZIT5TekradFt.Lauderdale,Fl02009-06-09Not Just for Kids! Don't mistake Chicken Little for a "Kids Only" type of movie. It satisfies viewers of all ages. The Blu-Ray PQ is of reference quality and is a great way to show off the color palette that HD is capable of. The sound quality was great(DD5.1). I cannot rate the uncompressed audio since I am unable to decode with my receiver. It's a "must-buy" uplifting title for all ages!B000DWMYQ850A2I7XRFIXA1M9KA2I7XRFIXA1M9KRoberta C. Gintz02009-03-21Chicken LittleThis is a great movie for adults as well as kids. I have seen it 5 times and always will watch again when my grandkids watch it. As soon as it starts we are glued to the screen. My only complaint is one song that could have been left out called, Do you want to be my lover. Enough said.

Livingstonsew n sewLittleton, CO USA02009-02-26Delightful, good lessonsThis movie is very entertaining for my 3 yr. old grandson, and for his grandparents as well. The story is easy to follow, moves along to keep our attention, and the characters are endearing.
<br />
<br />There are morals to the story, like, don't doubt yourself, stick with your good friends, parents aren't perfect, etc. There are lots of quick comments and jokes that keep us amused (through the many replays).

<br />I'd recommend it to anyone with children.DescriptionExperience a fantastic world of breathtaking action in Disney's hilarious new movie CHICKEN LITTLE. It's "the perfect family film," raves Scott Mantz of Access Hollywood. When the sky really is falling and sanity has flown the coop, who will rise to save the day? Together with his hysterical band of misfit friends, Chicken Little must hatch a plan to save the planet from alien invasion and prove that the world's biggest hero is a little chicken. Overflowing with incredible music and bursting with exciting bonus features, including alternate openings, an exclusive "making of" featurette, games, and much more, this sensational DVD is truly something to cluck about.Amazon.comA classic fable gets fused with <i>War of the Worlds</i> in Disney's <i>Chicken Little</i>. In the small town of Oakey Oaks, young Chicken Little (voiced by Zach Braff, <i>Garden State</i>) struggles to live down the embarrassment of having once thought the sky was falling. But when he gets struck again by a hexagonal, sky-camouflaged, hi-tech doohickey, he and his friends Ugly Duckling (Joan Cusack, <i>School of Rock</i>), Runt of the Litter (Steve Zahn, <i>Sahara</i>), and Fish Out of Water discover that aliens are preparing to invade Earth--but since no one believed Chicken Little the first time, why would they believe him now? Though kids will enjoy the bright whizz-bang action sequences of <i>Chicken Little</i>, discerning parents will find the movie tedious. Technically, it has the computer animation quality of Pixar--but with none of their intelligence, heart, or simple storytelling skill. The basic idea of connecting the fable to aliens is amusing, but the script routinely bogs down in clumsy father-son issues that seem like material edited out of <i>Finding Nemo</i>. The jokes rarely have anything to do with the characters, but are mostly pop-culture references that are sadly out of date. The action sequences were obviously created with the inevitable video game in mind, for which the movie is little more than an advertisement. <i>Chicken Little</i> falls flat. <i>--Bret Fetzer</i>B000ROAK2WMeet the RobinsonsB00005JNS0Cars (Widescreen Edition)B000G75AZCThe WildB000L22SG6Open Season (Widescreen Special Edition)B000VBJEEGRatatouille163306General163296Action & Adventure404276Genres130DVD139452Video712494Computer Animation712256Animation404276Genres130DVD139452Video712532Feature Films712256Animation404276Genres130DVD139452Video712258General712256Animation404276Genres130DVD139452Video163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video508524General163358Animation163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video899252Garry Marshall899242Comedy Directors163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163417General163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video290935Adventure163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video163416Animation163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video300411Comedy163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video595062Family Films163414Kids & Family404276Genres130DVD139452Video419504Cusack, Joan416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video431734Knotts, Don430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video435468Marshall, Garry434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video439838O'Hara, Catherine439610( O )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video446262Shawn, Wallace444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video446298Shearer, Harry444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video448134Stewart, Patrick444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video451496Warburton, Patrick451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452112West, Adam451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452546Willard, Fred451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video453788Zahn, Steve453752( Z )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579516( C )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video300382All Disney Titles300381Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video390976011Pepsi Stuff Promotion44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video672579011The Kids and Family Mega Sale: DVDs, Toys, and Customized Music44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405385011G405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620920112000 & Newer562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video1288264011All product1267878011Products12678770111294451011Blu-ray & DVD1267878011Products12678770111297810011Blu-ray & DVD1294321011Just arrived1267879011Special Features1267877011R24CN5P13EFLQ2My Favorite Movies and TV Shows of 2005R2PV9O8289Z3YDTHE TOP 20 BEST AND WORST FILMS I'VE SEENR18NNXP17GGDLBThe Complete Disney Animated Films Canon on DVD Part 2 of 2RN92LIGYJP6V5Movies About the End of the WorldR2O8MZAOVO6TAUThe Best of Disney CGI & AnimationsR1V73AUIFO2N48COMPLETE LIST OF DISNEY ANIMATED MOVIES PART 1R3QGXCFDB65UUDCG Animated Films That Stand Out In A CrowdR2SJ3FLRFUX31LGreat moviesR1YV3EXBTNWL6SMy Animated Disney Collection (part 2)R2DQAM8TTTTI9GGOOD Animated Kids' Movies

I didn't like this film at all, it's considered a romantic comedy but it feels more like a drama, Roberts' character has major commitment issues and it takes 2 hours to figure out why she won't get married, that could have been resolved much quicker! The chemistry between the two actors is not as strong or connvincing like Pretty Woman. Joan Cusack also stars and of course she steals every scene.

The plot isn't that well developed feeling contrived and boring at times. The music is the only bright spot, and it is a must have. The chemistry that Roberts and Gere are so well known for is sadly missing. They looked like they weren't even having fun making it. Even the superb supporting cast cannot save this film.

The result is a perfectly pleasant romantic comedy that would've fared better critically (despite boffo box office) if it hadn't been overshadowed by its blockbuster predecessor. It's certainly a more credible film than <I>Pretty Woman</I>, trading a far-fetched fairy tale (hooker hooks up with tycoon? bah!) for a more amiably conventional plot about big-city reporter Ike Graham (Richard Gere) who falls for a small-town handywoman Maggie Carpenter (Julia Roberts) with a nasty habit of fleeing from the altar in a recurring state of premarital panic.<p> Both characters are instantly likable, and the smooth dialogue by Josann McGibbon and Sara Parriott only occasionally panders to sitcom cuteness. And despite his routine sacrifice of subtle craft for commercial appeal, director Garry Marshall knows when to trust his stars and material, lending this movie a casual charm (aided by a terrific supporting cast) that never feels forced or artificial. The whole thing's utterly predictable, riding on the suspenseless question of whether Maggie will dump her sports-nut fiancé (Christopher Meloni) and tie the knot with Ike. It's a foregone conclusion after the usual games of romantic cat and mouse, but the chemistry between Roberts and Gere is undeniable, and with a decade's worth of additional stardom between them, they shine as brightly as ever. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>B00005JG6NMy Best Friend's Wedding (Special Edition)B000023VTPNotting Hill (Collector's Edition)6304765266While You Were SleepingB0000AOV4ISleepless in Seattle (10th Anniversary Edition)B000YDBPAMYou've Got Mail (Deluxe Edition)163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291150Wedding Bells291147Love & Romance291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291183Opposites Attract291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video899742Julia Roberts899692Comedy Stars163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291135Farce163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163376Satire163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video882784Screwball Comedy163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video163390General163379Drama404276Genres130DVD139452Video1081760114-for-3 Comedy1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1081770114-for-3 Drama1081720114-for-3 DVD251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video414174Braverman, Marvin411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video419504Cusack, Joan416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video421040Dooley, Paul419544( D )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422046Elizondo, Hector421742( E )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video424768Gere, Richard424172( G )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video433948Logue, Donal432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video435476Marshall, Kathleen434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video435702Mason, Tom434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video438232Morris, Jane434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video443832Roberts, Julia442578( R )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video451540Ward, Sela451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video452854Wilson, Rita451116( W )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video3234081All Paramount3234061Paramount Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video3234121Comedy3234061Paramount Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video3234131Drama3234061Paramount Home Entertainment468374Studio Specials251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579546( R )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405386011PG405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405391011US & CA DVDs: Region 1405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 - 1999562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video617866011English598208011Original Language (theme_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoR3S0UCWWTPUUJ4Movies that make you laugh, cry, and thinkR1X7FHNHQ3SOHYUltimate Chick Flicks For Women & Gay MenR10656FTCXU7K9Comedies that STILL make me laugh!RQZOAOS3MP847Movies Every Girl Needs To SeeRPX6I0AQ9FAQOAll Things Wedding, MoviesR5K0J24G4UANDMy Favorite 1999 MoviesRXQNI9ISM1R0Z10 Movies: Why We Know Julia RobertsR2B4VRJJ6K1ID6If you want to discover Julia Roberts (1967 - )RMVLQFBSP7UKWMy Favorite Movies with RomanceR13IKLPAORJHS5Top Ten of 1999
