The best motion picture ever . . . E--VER!

Quentin Tarantio struck all the right notes when he wrote this fantastic motion picture, which, in my opinion, is the greatest motion picture of all time.  Everyone can find something in this film that will interest him.  If you like, action, violence, drugs, sex, and bad language, you will find it here.  If, on the other hand, you want comedy, drama, romance, and a good moral, this film has it, too.  One feels every emotion possible simply in the ending of this film.  It even ends with a photo finish of the sun setting over the ocean.  One thing I must say is that I am glad that Quentin Tarantino did not direct this film.  I have read the original screenplay, and on the marvelous two-disc DVD, there is a recreated alternate ending.  This ending is terrible.  Through the whole film, Alabama (Patricia Arquette) is all like, "I love you, Clarence.  I love you, I love you, I love you."  Then, all of a sudden, she hates his guts.  So, thank you, Tony Scott, for forcing Quentin Tarantino to write the greatest ending of all time.  This motion picture is a wonderful film that I feel everyone should watch, own, love, and treasure for forever.

When I heard the news about this movie been filmed, I couldn't believe it. Then, when I saw the trailer online, I cried in emotion. I have seen this movie (especially the last 30 minutes) everyday for two months and 6 days, and everytime my eyes are covered in tears. A honorable ending for one the most beloved characters in movie history. Thank you Sly for a beautiful, touching and nostalgic movie!!! It worth the wait.

If you have not seen the movie then your life is not complete. Lord of the rings is the best movie you can find. I did not read the book, but after i saw the movie i could not help but to go out and buy it right away!(Along with the return of the king and the two towers of course.)Take my advise, The lord of the rings is the best movie in the history of film making..Mr. Jackson is definitly going to be one of the best movie producers,especially if he sticks with this cast!!Hey, I've seen the movie three times and I still can't wait to buy my next movie ticket!!!

What a superb movie!  There is a lot of Oscar material here. I really cannot say enough about this movie, from Liesel, to her stepmother and stepfather, to the little blond boy whose name I cannot recall at this moment. And there is perfection in  cinematography reminiscent  of "Life of Pi"!  Absolutely spectacular!  A must see!

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone!  I have already seen it 3 times and I plan on seeing it again!
I though the way Peter Jackson pulled this off was amazing!  I can't think of any way I would chang it.  Yes people will tell you that it was long but it had to be!  If you know anything about the story you would know that you just couldn't do it any other way.  I found it refreshingly long!  A comment on the ending, the first time I saw it I didn't want it to stop there.  I could have sat through another 2 hours!  But the secound and third time I saw it, it was a very logical place to close.  I thought all of the actors did fantasticin portraying the characters.  Expecially Elijah Wood.  I could tell you to go to it just for the CG alone!  I just found myself totally, captivatingly lost in the movie.  It is very odvious how much time and dedication the makers put into this.  I can't wait for the second and third one!  Well I could go on for hours but then I would miss the next showing!

this is the greatest movie I have ever seen, it is so brilliant that it boggles the mind. I cannot understand why no one can comprehend its sheer brilliance. You seriously have to pay attention to THE DIALOGUE... it totally explains the movie's ending... so put on the closed captioning, people! And you too will see the sheer brilliance of this movie. And remember as always... CHRISTIAN BALE IS GOD.

This movie is the BEST and the GRANDDADDY of all car racing movies!  This was virtually the FIRST movie about a coast-to-coast car race, to come out!  This is excellent!  I saw it in the movie theatre when first came out in 1976 (I believe 1976). "Cannonball Run 1" and "Cannonball 2" SUCKED and were POOR when compared to this (only reason why the Cannonball Run movies made money was due to the star power in them).  Others like "Speed Zone" tried (that was a little better than the Cannonball Run movies), and the dramatic version "Cannonball" with Carradine, even tried.  These others were BAD, POOR and SUCKED!  If you want the best, see the first and the best: GUMBALL RALLY! (As they say: "You've tried the rest, now try the best!)  I LOVED it when it came out!  And LOVE IT NOW!  I saw it many times in the movie theatre.  I even have the laserdisc, and plan on purchasing the DVD!  I at least hope it is in stereo.  The laserdisc is in mono.  And I hope it is in letterbox / widescreen  (2.35:1 ratio), which the laserdisc is.

Trust me and all these others: it is very good, and see it!  If you haven't already!  Better yet: BUY IT!  Everybody, or at least most, LOVE this movie!  It is VERY FUNNY when compared to the copycat movies I mentioned above!  Thank you.  -Paul A. August 27, 2005 - Saturday - 9:36 PM EST

i have loved this movie for decades, even though i have only ever seen the broadcast t.v. version,..and then later the DVD version (even worse quality than broadcast)..so even though the price was equal or more than a new release blockbuster (more than $30. u.s.)..i threw down and ordered it.  i am so glad i did. amazing picture and sound quality. about the movie itself, it is based on true events, and reportedly very accurate. Michael Caine in his first movie role is riveting, the transformation of his character could be the subject of acting classes. the cinematography is breathtaking. i intend to buy more copies as gifts for those friends and family members who love films as much as i do.  ....if you are already on the fence about purchasing this blu-ray, don't hesitate..you won't regret it.

The Goonies has to be hands down, the BEST movie to ever come out of the 80's. I was only a year old when it came out in the theaters, but I saw for the first time when I was very little, and to this day I still love it! This movie has some of the funniest and best lines I have ever heard..and whats even better is watching it on DVD. It looks like new now that it has been digitally enhanced, as well as the sound being enhanced. Its also in widescreen, so you get to see what was probably cut out of the background. And as for being the un-cut version, thats even better. It sux when they play it on tv, and they leave out the "Mouth en Espanol" scene (one of my favorites).  The Cyndi Lauper music video in the 'Special Features' section is hilarious..it was nice to see the video in its entirety (since I never saw the whole thing, lol). Also, the outtakes feature is cool, because you get to see scenes that were originally cut out of the movie. Theres the quicky mart scene, the ever-so-talked-about octopus scene (now we know what Data means about the huge octopus at the end), a small scene with Sloth and Chunk (which they SHOULD HAVE left in, it was soooo funny!!) and theres another outtake that I am probably leaving out, but those are just a few! You can also watch the Commentary (which is kinda boring, but at least you get to see the actors all grown up). Then theres the usual foriegn language settings, and the theatrical trailer. And if you haven't seen this movie before (shame on you! j/k) I hope you enjoy it!! :-)

Each time I see this film, I am amazed at its brilliance. The pacing of the film in coordination with the music (and lyrics) is simply astounding. Also, given when the film was made I am still perplexed by the
cinematography of this masterpiece. There are shots which I can't quite figure out how they were achieved....especially ones where there are mirrors in the scenes. Quite possibly the greatest movie ever made, certainly the greatest " musical " movie ever made. I am impressed and moved each time I see it.

This movies was the greatest I have seen in a long time. Every aspect about it is cool, from the action, to the romance, to the drama, to the digital effect, to sooo much more. Brilliantly directed too! I keep hearing about this first release not having all the features, and my motto "Me ne frego", or I don't give a damn. this is a terrific movie! One for the ages, and at the price is fine by me. ALSO really? Do you REALLY want to wait for some bonus features that your gonna watch one or twice? Get this edition then when the third edition comes out grab that. Dont even bother with it. This IS the movie that was in theaters, what won crowds over globaly! Get it, you won't regret it!

...this film is a masterpiece in every respect:  director Michael Mann, cinematographer Dante Spinotti, actors Al Pacino, Robert de Niro etc etc etc.  In some respects the most beautiful film I have ever seen!  I watch it over and over and never seem to tire of it!  It is worth a purchase for the restaurant scene alone:  Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro facing off; two of our greatest living actors.  I can't say enough about this film.  If you've missed it it's not to late to catch up on one of the most brilliant films of all time.

The word for "Cars" is WOW!What a brilliant triumph! This is Disney/Pixar at its peak. John Lasseter and his colleagues are the best at what they do,and this visually stunning masterpiece shows it to perfection. The animation artwork here is the best they have ever done(those shots of the mountains are breathtaking!).Under Lasseter's magnificent direction,they have once again brilliantly succeeded in combining artistry with a wonderful story and a delightful cast of characters(Owen Wilson and Bonnie Hunt are terrific,but Paul Newman and Larry The Cable Guy steal it!).This is perfect entertainment for everyone! Sit back and enjoy!

Where can I begin? This is such an amazing movie! I would whole heartedly recommend this film for anyone who truly loves a good film. If you want to be blown away with great cinema, the story is top notch. The reason to watch this movie is not to see the latest movie star, or perhaps to see the biggest budget film set. No, as an independant film this movie is top notch. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to the sender for this film to provide it at an affordable price in good condition and to amazon.com to providing such quality products.
