| | 2. Gambit (Amazon.com Exclusive) | 
| Starring: Shirley MacLaine, Michael Caine, Herbert Lom, Roger C. Carmel, Arnold Moss
Directed By: Ronald Neame
January 11, 2010
A really fun little comedy with a number of unexpected twists. Extremely well played by Shirley MacLaine, Michael Caine and Herbert Lom.
MacLaine is utterly delightful, giving us a nicely nuanced performance as a dancehall girl stuck in Hong Kong (that alone is something of a major feat in a comedy). Caine comes across as an inventive and low-tech, if not very physical, James Bond wannabe... more

| | 3. Mrs. Miniver |
| Starring: Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, John Nesbitt, Kai-Shek Chiang
Directed By: Allan Kenward, Basil Wrangell, William Wyler
February 03, 2004
Features:- Winner of six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, this memorable spirit-lifter about an idealized England that tends its prize-winning roses while confronting the terror of war struck a patriotic chord with American audiences and became 1942's #1 box-office hit. Greer Garson gives a formidable Oscar-winning performance in the title role, comforting children in a bomb shelter, capturing an enem
Mrs. Miniver is one of my favorite classic films. It is a beautifully filmed movie with an excellent cast in Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Dame May Whitty, Theresa Wright and others. It is a story of Kay Miniver and her family and their attempts to keep life as sane and normal as one can while their country is at war and bombing raids are an almost every night happening.
It is as realistic... more

| | 4. Gigi (Two-Disc Special Edition) |
| Starring: Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold, Eva Gabor
Directed By: Vincente Minnelli
September 16, 2008
Features:- Set in Paris at the turn of the century, this delightful Lerner and Loewe musical, based on a story by Collette, follows a precocious French girl as she is groomed into a would-be courtesan, blossoming into a stunning woman. The story provides plenty of opportunity for Minnelli and MGM to pull out all the stops in its first musical production shot on location. Paris and Caron never looked lovelier
This is an amazing movie. The Blue-ray looks awesome for something so old. The disc contains two versions of the movie, one is the older black and white version (which the quality isn't so great), and the slightly newer color version. I ordered this movie somewhat on accident, but it has quickly became one of my favorites!... more

| | 5. Gigi [Blu-ray] | 
| Starring: Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold, Eva Gabor
Directed By: Charles Walters, Vincente Minnelli
February 02, 2010
The blu-ray of Gigi is a spectacularly beautiful job. The reds in Gigi's apartment almost overwhelm you. The beautiful pastels of the women's clothing are perfect, the blacks are deep and inky. I found no visible grain in the picture. My only real disappointment was that the Dolby-TrueHD soundtrack was pretty much all centered in the front speakers. There was very little surround to it, but after all... more

| | 7. I, Claudius |
| Starring: Derek Jacobi, Siân Phillips, Flora Robson, Emlyn Williams, Eileen Corbett
Directed By: Herbert Wise
August 15, 2000
I, Claudius was a brilliant piece of work, a masterpiece, of the BBC that generated a huge response from critics and viewers, both in the UK and in the US. The fact that I can now get a good copy, an uncut copy, is wonderful. One of the best historical dramas to come out of television, outside of HBO's ROME. And let us look at all the star power. John Hurt, Derek Jaccobi, Patrick Stewart, Brian... more
