2001: A Space Odyssey - 2001: A Space Odyssey - Arthur C. Clarke - Two astronauts find their journey into space and their very lives jeopardized by the insanity of an extraordinarily human computer named Hal, a mysterious monolith, and an encounter with a mysterious alien intelligence. Grab the DVD, Kubrick Collection DVD, VHS, or VHS Widescreen, or Paperback 25th Ann edition versions. 2010: The Year We Make Contact - 2010: The Year We Make Contact - Who or what transformed Dave Bowman into the Star-Child? What alien purpose lay behind the monoliths on the Moon and out in space? What could drive HAL to kill the crew? Now all those questions and many more have been answered, in this stunning sequel to 2001. Grab the DVD, VHS, Hardcover, or Paperback versions. Alien - Starring Sigourney Weaver - One of the scariest Sci-Fi movies ever! While investigating an alien spacecraft ditched on a dead planet, the crew of a space freighter picks up an uninvited passenger. This languid masterpiece of horror depicts a primal inter-species struggle for survival juxtaposed against a jungle of hyper-technology. "Aliens," a cathartic sequel by James Cameron, was made in 1986. With 2 Academy Award Nominations, (one for Best Art Direction) it got one Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. There were two more incarnations (Alien^3 and Alien Resurrection) the last of which was co-directed by Sigourney Weaver, and very well done. I definitely recommend getting the entire series. First, for the discount, but secondly for all the extras such as Commentary by director Ridley Scott on Alien, Isolated musical score on a separate audio channel, Alternate music and production sound track, Deleted scenes, Artwork and photo galleries, Outtakes & more! Buy The Alien Legacy (All four plus goodies) on DVD, VHS, VHS Widescreen, individual movies below. The Alien Quadrilogy (2003) - This 9-DVD set is the definitive ALIEN collection. It includes ALL FOUR DIRECTOR'S CUTS OF THE FILMS with an extra DVD of bonus pre prod., production & post prod. interviews, music, FX, amd more per film, and a bonus #9 DVD only available in this set. I hate to pay for the series all over again after buying The Alien Legacy (being the fan that I am), but may have no choice. Most of these versions are quite different from the theatrical releases, and tell a better story (especially for #3). So, if you really want the ultimate Alien experience, you're just going to have to get The Alien Quadrilogy or buy them individually: Buy Alien (1979) on DVD, or VHS (20th Anniversary Edition), or Aliens (1986) on DVD, VHS Director's Cut, or VHS Director's Cut Widescreen.  Buy Alien 3 (1993) on DVD, or VHS, or Buy Alien Resurrection (1997) on DVD,  VHS, VHS Widescreen, or VHS with Spanish subtitles! Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) - If you don't think Austin Powers is one of the funniest movies of the 1990s, maybe you should be packed into a cryogenic time chamber and sent back to the decade whence you came. Perhaps it was the 1960s--the shagadelic decade when London hipster Austin Powers scored with gorgeous chicks as a fashion photographer by day, crime-fighting international man of mystery by night. Yeah, baby, yeah! But when Power's arch nemesis, Dr. Evil, puts himself into a deep-freeze and travels via time machine to the late 1990s, Powers must follow him and foil Evil's nefarious scheme of global domination. Mike Myers plays dual roles as Powers and Dr. Evil, with Elizabeth Hurley as his present-day sidekick and karate-kicking paramour. A hilarious spoof of '60s spy movies, this colorful comedy actually gets funnier with successive viewings, making it a perfect home video for gloomy days and randy nights. Oh, behave! Grab it on DVD, VHS, VHS Widescreen, or VHS Spanish subtitles Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) - "I put the grrr in swinger, baby!" a randy Austin Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me. This friendly, go-for-broke sequel to 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery finds our man Austin heading back to the '60s to keep perennial nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers again) from blowing up the world--and, more importantly, to get back his mojo, that man-juice that turns Austin into irresistible catnip for women, especially American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham). The plot may be irreverent and illogical, but it's all delivered sunnily and with tongue firmly in cheek. Grab it on DVD, VHS, VHS Widescreen, or VHS Spanish subtitles

• Blade Runner - The best film ever created. Incredible cinematography- absolutely beautiful to watch! And with music by Vangelis, what else could you ask for? Starring Harrison Ford, it's a dark look at humanity in the 21st century, and what they're willing to sacrifice in order to spare themselves a little discomfort. Based on the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" Buy the original book on tape, or the first, second (Out of print), or third (soft-cover) books in the series, or Buy The Director's Cut on DVD, Limited Edition Collector's Set (DVD), or on VHS. Also, buy Vangelis' Blade Runner [SOUNDTRACK], or Themes from Blade Runner and other movies- Excellent CDs!

• Blazing Saddles (1974) - Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success. The humor is so juvenile and crude that you just have to surrender to it; highlights abound, from the lunkheaded Alex Karras as the ox-riding Mongo to Madeline Kahn's uproarious send-up of Marlene Dietrich as saloon songstress Lili Von Shtupp. It's a don't miss for anyone who loves comedy.
  Grab the DVD, or VHS, or VHS Widescreen versions.

• The Blues Brothers - John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are the "legendary" Chicago blues brothers Jake and Elwood Blues. As Jake and Elwood struggle to reunite their old band and save the Chicago orphanage where they were raised, they wreak enough good-natured havoc to attract the entire Cook County police force. The result is a big-budget stunt-fest on a scale rarely attempted before or since, including extended car chases that result in the wanton destruction of shopping malls and more police cars than you can count. Along the way there's plenty of great music to punctuate the action, including performances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and James Brown that are guaranteed to knock you out. As played with deadpan wit by Belushi and Aykroyd, the Blues Brothers are "on a mission from God," which gives them a kind of reckless glee that keeps the movie from losing its comedic appeal. Keep an eye out for many walk-on stars: Steven Spielberg, Frank Oz & more. This movie is worth it just for the soundtrack alone. Grab the Collector's Edition DVD, VHS, VHS Widescreen, VHS Dubbed in Spanish, or The Best of the Blues Brothers DVD, VHS, or Blues Brothers 2000 DVD, DVD with DTS Stereo, VHS, or VHS with Spanish subtitles.

• Brazil- Very strange, but wonderful movie by Terry Gilliam (Monty Python) about a dark future where bureaucracy rules. It's a wildly imaginative Orwellian comedy about a future society in which a central bureaucracy regulates everything via endless air ducts, tubes and plumbing. A typographical error (well, a bug.. literally...) plunges a meek governmental clerk named Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) into a Kafkaesque nightmare of bureaucracy and brainwashing. DeNiro plays a heroic non-union plumber unplugging the stopped-up pipes. Academy Award Nominations: Best (Original) Screenplay, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration. As with all Gilliam films, the cinematography, setting, and effects are amazing. Any true fan needs the Criterion Collection (1985) version including 3 DVDs, Commentary by director Terry Gilliam, Production notes, trailer(s), Interview with co-writer Tom Stoppard, Production and publicity stills, and 3 documentaries: "The Production Notebook", "What Is Brazil?", and "The Battle of Brazil: A Video History". Grab the Criterion Collection DVDs, or the regular DVD, or VHS versions.

• A Christmas Story- Set in the alternate universe of the 1950s, this absolutely classic Christmas tale will have you on your knees with laughter! Written by Jean Shepherd, (Who wrote The 4th of July and Other Disasters, In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash and many more..) This movie is one you'll treasure! The main story involves nine-year-old Ralphie, who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas -- and is waging an all-out campaign to convince his reluctant parents that the toy will be safe in his hands. Meanwhile, Ralphie prepares for the big day with his rather idiosyncratic family. For example, his brother has a strange relationship with food (How do the little piggies eat?), and his dad is obsessed with a crossword puzzle contest, fighting the eternal battle with the furnace, and with the neighbor's dogs! But the most important question of all is...when Christmas Day arrives, will Ralphie be the proud (and careful) owner of a Red Ryder BB Gun? It's a wonderful movie, and you'll want to see it every year! By the way, I saw Jean Shepherd a few years before he died, and he said this is actually an anti-war film! (Although only the French actually realized it..) Watch carefully and see! Buy it on DVD, or VHS. Also, grab the book it was partly based on: In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash on Paperback, or grab another of his hilarious books: Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories : And Other Disasters on Paperback, or The Ferrari in the Bedroom on Paperback.

• Clockwise - Starring John Cleese as a punctual principal at a run of the mill British High School. Due to his precise and orderly fashion of discipline, he won an award for his efforts. Now, he has to go receive it, and in trying to get there, all hell breaks loose! (anything that can go wrong...) This is one of the most hilarious movies you'll ever see! Buy the DVD, or VHS version!

• Close Encounters of the Third Kind - This is the classic Spielberg tale of how people react when confronted with the unknown. It's a struggle between the "chosen" and the military/scientific forces trying to "protect" the rest of us from the visitors on the way. Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr's performances are wonderful, and this is a classic you'll definitely want in your collection! Get **New Pre-Order 'till May 29, '01!** Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Collectors Edition DVD , or grab it on VHS.

• Contact- Starring Jodie Foster (whom I accidentally brushed against her backside during the premiere of Stealing Home in Philadelphia. I was talking in the other direction when I felt... and turned to see none other than the back of Jodie Foster! Anyway...) It's a great movie, great plot, wonderful acting, neat FX, you'll want to see it again and again... (If you have three hours a seating ;-). Buy the DVD, VHS, VHS Widescreen, Paperback, or Book on Tape.

• The Dark Crystal - Jim Henson's elaborate and visually stunning fantasy--a cross between Tolkien and the Brothers Grimm--from the Muppets crew, with an extremely imaginative cast of characters enacting classic quest: the powerful Dark Crystal has been shattered, letting evil spill throughout the land. The missing piece must be found or evil will take over the world.
  Grab the DVD or VHS versions.

• Dr. Strangelove -Or- How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - A hilarious romp through the cold war, where paranoid schizophrenic generals have itchy trigger fingers, and Armageddon is close at hand. Starring Peter Sellers! Grab the DVD, Special Edition DVD, or VHS versions.

• Dune - The movie version of Frank Herbert's classic Hugo and Nebula Award winning book. Directed by David Lynch, it tells the sweeping tale of a desert planet called Arrakis, the focus of an intricate power struggle in a Byzantine interstellar empire. The troubles begin when stewardship of Arrakis is transferred by the Emperor from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides. The Harkonnens don't want to give up their privilege, though, and through sabotage and treachery they cast young Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet's harsh environment to die. (But as with all genetically manipulated people bred to be a savior, he has some tricks up his sleeve.) Dune is a visually stunning movie with a great soundtrack, and with Sting as the Duke's nemesis, and Patrick Stewart as Gurney, how can you go wrong? Grab the DVD, VHS, or VHS Widescreen versions.

• The Fifth Element - Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero--what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson's high-octane film incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens. Bruce Willis stars as a down-and-out cabbie who must win the love of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) to save Earth from destruction by Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) and a dark, unearthly force that makes Darth Vader look like an Ewok. Grab it on DVD, VHS, or VHS Widescreen.

• Galaxy Quest - The best spoof of the decade! The actors of the 80s Sci-Fi series "Galaxy Quest" are approached by aliens to help them save their race after the aliens watch the "Historical Footage" of the Galaxy Quest adventures.  Thinking it's just another gig, they play along until they realize they're in it... deep...  It's a great spoof of the Star Trek phenomena, its followers, and the whole genre - A must see! Grab it on DVD, DTS DVD, VHS, or VHS w/Spanish subtitles.
  Also, grab the Paperback, Galaxy Quest : A Novel.

• Gattaca - Starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, In the 21st century, genetic engineering makes possible the creation of superior human specimens ("valids"), who then grow to positions of power and prestige. Would-be astronaut Vincent, born the old-fashioned way, can only hope for a janitorial position at the elite Gattaca Corporation--until he buys the bodily fluids and identity of a genetically perfect, yet accidentally paralyzed athlete. But a murder in the company's ranks attracts the attention of a detective who threatens to expose Vincent. A slick futuristic thriller. Grab the **New Pre-Order until 5/22/01** DVD , or VHS versions.
  
  
  
• The Gods Must Be Crazy I & II (1980, 1986) - These are two of my top 40 movies ever! The first one starts out with a pilot carelessly tossing a Coke bottle out his window. It falls down to a small isolated African village whose residents have never seen such a thing. After being used as a tool for mashing food (among other things) one boy hits another over the head with it. This is obviously an evil instrument the gods sent down to the village, so it must be thrown off the edge of the earth. And so starts the epic voyage to destroy the Coke bottle. Along with much slapstick humor, this film is extremely funny, and should tickle just about anyone's funnybone. The sequel is almost as funny as the original, and involves a terrorist threat which the same villager from #1 must thwart (along with a scientist doing research in Africa, and a local schoolteacher who've got a funny romantic thing going..) I've been waiting over 20 years to get my hands on these films, and I'm glad I finally can! Buy yours on DVD!
  

• Groundhog Day - Bill Murray is wonderful in his most consistently effective post-Stripes comedy, a romantic fantasy about a wacky weatherman forced to relive one strange day over and over again, until he gets it right. Snowed in during a road-trip expedition to watch the famous groundhog encounter his shadow, Murray falls into a time warp that is never explained but pays off so richly that it doesn't need to be. The elaborate loop-the-loop plot structure is crystal-clear every step of the way, but it's Murray's world-class reactive timing that makes the jokes explode, and we end up looking forward to each new variation. He squeezes all the available juice out of every scene. Without forcing the issue, he makes us understand why this fly-away personality responds so intensely to the radiant sanity of the TV producer played by Andie MacDowell. The blissfully clueless Chris Elliott (Cabin Boy) is Murray's nudnik cameraman. Grab it on DVD or VHS.

• Monty Python and the Holy Grail - The Python gang goes adventuring as knights of the round table, finding absolute insanity as they romp around the English countryside searching for the Holy Grail. Using coconuts in lieu of horses (brought by European - No! African swallows. Well, depending on the average air velocity of the sparrow, and whether two happened to grab the same coconut...) Each segment is absolutely ingenious, from black knights who don't know when to quit ("Come back here- I'll bite your kneecaps off!") to discussions on the legitimacy of royal power ("Just 'cause some watery tart gives you a sword, that's no basis for government!"), and if this movie doesn't make you laugh, you're almost certainly dead! Grab it on DVD or VHS.

• Monty Python's Life of Brian - "Blessed are the cheesemakers," a wise man once said. Well, maybe not. But the point is Monty Python's Life of Brian is a religious satire that does not target specific religions or leaders (like, say, Jesus of Nazareth). Instead, it pokes fun at the mindless and fanatical among their followers--it's an attack on religious zealotry and hypocrisy--things that that fellow from Nazareth didn't particularly care for either. Life of Brian is about a chap named Brian (Graham Chapman) born December 25 in a hovel not far from a soon-to-be-famous Bethlehem manger. Brian is mistaken for the messiah and therefore manipulated, abused, and exploited by various religious and political factions. And it's really, really funny. Particularly memorable bits include the brassy Shirley Bassey/James Bond-like title song; the bitter rivalry between the anti-Roman resistance groups, the Judean People's Front and the People's Front of Judea; Michael Palin's turn as a lisping, risible Pontius Pilate; Brian urging a throng of false-idol worshippers to think for themselves--to which they reply en masse "Yes, we must think for ourselves!"; the fact that everything Brian does, including losing his sandal in an attempt to flee these wackos, is interpreted as "a sign." Life of Brian is not only one of Monty Python's funniest achievements, it's also the group's sharpest and smartest sustained satire. Blessed are the Pythons. Grab it on Criterion Collection DVD, DVD, VHS, or VHS Widescreen.

• The Princess Bride (1987) - Combining dead-on perfect casting, superb direction, an impeccable comedic script and sumptuous visuals, The Princess Bride is a marvelous piece of cinematic storytelling! Thanks to its brilliant combination of childlike wonder and adult sarcasm (a great feat), it is accessible to viewers of all ages. The enchanting Robin Wright is wonderful in the title role, with her expressive face and aura of melancholy. Cary Elwes' cocky, eccentric turn as Westley, the dashing swordsman with a smart mouth. Mandy Patinkin and Wallace Shawn add their impeccable comic timing as alcoholic swordsman Inigo and the viciously arrogant Vizzini, and Andre the Giant is lovable as "rhyme-loving giant Fezzik". And The Princess Bride sports two great movie villains in Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen, both evil to the core but so charismatically played by the actors that they come off as truly worthy opponents to the chivalric Westley and Inigo. William Goldman is of course a demigod in the world of screenwriting, his lines sharp and his narrative tight and engrossing, while Rob Reiner's comic-book execution fits the tone of the story perfectly without sacrifice moments of tension, drama, or depth. High points: "one of the two greatest swordfights in modern movies"; the encounter with Miracle Max and his wife Valerie (Billy Crystal and Carol Kane in delightful cameos); Fezzik's wrestling match with Westley; the nail-biting entrance of the R.O.U.S.; the hilarious meeting on the castle wall; Westley's showdown with Vizzini. It's a don't miss! Grab it on DVD or on VHS, or read it on Hardcover, Paperback, or Audio Cassette!

• The Producers (1968) - This classic piece of insanity stars incomparable Mostel as hard-luck Broadway producer Max Bialystock, who cons meek accountant Gene Wilder into helping him with outrageous scheme: selling 25,000% of a play that's certain to flop, then heading to Rio with the excess cash. One of those rare films that gets funnier with each viewing, especially for its legendary musical number "Springtime for Hitler'' (sure to turn away any crowd with taste he thinks,) but it's absolutely hilarious. Brooks' first feature earned him an Oscar for his screenplay. Grab it on VHS, or get Recording "The Producers" - A Musical Romp with Mel Brooks (2001) on DVD or VHS!

• Sleeper - Woody Allen plays Miles Monroe, cryogenically frozen in 1973 (he went into the hospital for an ulcer operation) and unthawed 200 years later. Society has become a sterile, Big Brother-controlled dystopia, and Miles joins the underground resistance--joined by a quite pampered rich woman (Diane Keaton). This is probably Allen's funniest film- slapstick all the way. Grab it on DVD, or VHS.

• Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director's Edition) - When Academy Award winning director Robert Wise released the first Star Trek film back in 1979 he wasn't content with the final cut or special effects, mainly due to timing constraints. 22 years later, Wise has reworked the film in every respect. In this collection, the Director's cut, commentary, and two more discs full of documentaries, deleted scenes, retrospectives and much more make this film come to life like it never has before! Grab it on DVD or VHS.

• Star Trek: First Contact- You know, you saw it.. Great FX, creepy Borg, and one of the best Star Trek movies out there! Grab it on DVD, VHS, or VHS Widescreen.
  
  
  
• Star Wars Trilogy - The most anticipated DVD release ever, this completely restored (and touched up) DVD collection has lots of commentary, a 150 minute documentary of the making of the trilogy, all the politics involved, and much more. With Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound and the best picture quality ever, it's a must-have for Star Wars fans who want to watch it on their own "big screen." Grab it on DVD

• Star Wars: The Phantom Menace- get The Phantom Menace at Amazon & save! Special Ed. Widescreen Box Set!, Standard VHS , or Dubbed en Español. Now on DVD, !

• This Is Spinal Tap - Criterion Collection- Parody of a rock-u-mentary, with Reiner as director Marty Di Bergi, who chronicles the latest American tour of an aging British rock group that's a working definition of the term ``loser. '' Many familiar faces appear in cameos! BTW, In the '90s the ``fictitious'' group reunited for a series of concerts and a TV special. Laser and video re-release in 1995 features many new scenes, and hours of bonus material (Criterion Collection). Grab the DVD, DVD (Criterion Collection), or VHS (Special Edition).

• Time Bandits - A hilarious romp through time where six dwarfs, pursued by the Supreme Being (Richardson), escort a young English schoolboy on their travels. They meet Robin Hood (Cleese), Napoleon (Holm), King Agamemnon (Connery). Written by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin, of Monty Python fame. Again, Gilliam works his magic behind the camera. Grab the VHS, VHS Widescreen, DVD, or DVD (Criterion Collection) versions.

• Twelve Monkeys - Another Gilliam great! A surprisingly good Bruce Willis is an unwilling time traveler caught in a web of deception. He's sent back to the late twentieth century to stop a viral holocaust, but is received as a madman. Brad Pitt stars as a loon, and makes a very convincing one! Again, Gilliam works his magic behind the camera. Grab the DVD, VHS, or VHS Widescreen versions.

• X-Files (Movie-1998) - This movie fills you in on all the good info the series left murky. Learn why and how the alien conspiracy was formed, what the smoking man has to do with all of it, and see Mulder get his first real good look at a you-know-what! Good entertainment whether you watch the series regularly or not. Grab the **new** DTS DVD, Original DVD, or get it on VHS, or VHS Widescreen.

• X-Men - The coolest summer movie of 2000, X-Men is an excellent adaptation of the comic book! It's true to the characters, and the effects are incredible! Patrick Stewart plays a wonderful Professor Charles Xavier (Professor X), and the rest of the cast do a wonderful job portraying their characters. In a future where the outcasts and oppressed of society are mutants with incredible powers such as shapeshifting, or blasting bolts of fire out of their eyes, the country has become paranoid, and McCarthy-esque Senators debate registration of, and possible rounding-up of mutants as threats to the country. This movie does a good job of portraying teen angst and the difficulties of growing up as well as how a society can be turned against its own citizens by power-hungry politicians. Of course, this movie sets up everything beautifully for a sequel, but I can forgive them for that... Grab this movie on DVD , or on VHS!

• Young Frankenstein - Mel Brooks' best. The son of Dr. Frankenstein, a rational, scientific Doctor (Gene Wilder) is in denial about his lineage (he pronounces his name Fronkensteeen,) discovers his father's work, and proceeds to dabble with it, (and his co-star, Terri Garr) creating a hilarious movie. Grab the Special Edition DVD, or VHS versions.
