The quality of these restorations of the earliest moving pictures ever taken is stunning, as are the examples of the hand coloured films (every frame was individually painted).

The finest quality is from the 1895 films from the Lumiere brothers taken on stock from their own factory of such quality it has never degraded. Apart from the static framing and lack of panning and zoom they could have been taken yesterday, the film of one of the Lumiere brothers and his wife feeding their baby takes us vividly back one hundred and eleven years.

Personally the 1901 "Fire" is a favourite as I used to shop regularly in George Street, Hove where the Fire Station building remained virtually unchanged until at least the fifties. Another ... Read More:

Well, most ardent fans would already own it by now, but if not then you need it. This may well be regarded as Jimi's Classic Album, probably for the guest musician credentials alone, but all the albums he recorded for Track Records could also be included. Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland were, for many fans, Jimi's finest, and this superb documentary gives you the nuts and bolts, the sadness and the tears and thankfully, Chas Chandler's and Noel Redding's input, as they have since passed on. For their time, those 3 albums were absolute classics for their immense imagination and musicianship, so this DVD chronicling Electric Ladyland will perhaps give some small insight into the making of the other 2.

A remarkable DVD featuring early films by Georges Melies. There are two documentaries and a large number of the original films including the superb "A Trip to the Moon".

For anyone interested in the history of movies this is a must-see. This is the real beginning of many of the special effects which we take for granted although many of the effects today are made by computer whereas Melies used both the tricks he had learnt as a stage magician and genuine film effects using editing, colorisation etc.

Melies, himself, lost everything and was rediscovered running a tobacconists on a railway station. The recognition he then received in the 1930's was well justified and we are lucky that so many prints survived of his historic work ... Read More:

This series of the Simple Life is, in the words of Paris Hilton, ''HOT!''. Im a fan of the first and second series of the Simple life and was looking forward to seeing the 3rd, and possibly the last series of The Simple Life. In the first series, paris and nicole head off to a farm where they try to earn a living by working in a fast food store, dariy farm and many others. In the second series, the pair drive around America hoping to earn money as fishermen, mermaids, cowboys, and also many others. But this series is by far the best and funniest. Actually one of the funniest shows of 2005!!!

In this series Paris and Nicole travel around on a bus, which means sharing it with passengers (sometimes to their amusment!) Once they ... Read More:

Hitchcock did not direct this and it does not star Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck. Spellbound (1945) and Spellbound (2002) have in common the fact that they both won Academy Awards and both are spellbinding.

Director Jeffrey Blitz's approach to making this most interesting documentary is straight-forward: pick eight contestants. Produce a mini-documentary on each one of them with scenes from family life, school. Interview their teachers, their parents, and some of their friends so that we get to know the contestants. Show the town they live in and the land they grew up on. Cut each mini-documentary to a few minutes and run them one after the other before taking us to the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.

Everybody knows how great and interesting this documentary is; however, I'd like to know where I can buy the version which has the Flamboyant video!

More than 2 months ago I bought one of these DVDs at amazon.ca thinking that it had the Flamboyant video but unfortunately it didn't; last week I bought another one here but it didn't have it either. I've heard that amazon.com doesn't have the version with that video either.

So, can anybody tell me where I can find it?

This is a moving and often funny documentary about the versatile, sometimes stubborn and crazy but always fascinating Ronnie Lane. I first discovered him through his collaboration album with Pete Townshend, 'Rough Mix', then I listened to his contributions to The Faces and Small Faces. This programme has seduced me to buy a compilation of his solo material. The excerpts from songs such as 'Done this one before', 'Anymore for anymore' and 'The Poacher' point to music of great charm, melodic beauty and natural wit.

Ronnie would be touched to hear how loved and revered he is by his fellow musicians. Music fans who long to hear something other than the clinical creations off of the TV will discover music of great character and soul. Well done to the crew for telling ... Read More:

Well I'm sorry,
but the simple fact that this documentary is called ' Elvis by the Presley's ' is just not enough to call it good.
Shure, it features some candid home videos and some nice recollections, but it's far away from as some said ultimate Elvis documentary.
Yes it's designed well, nice sound & picture, but it's not impressive.
This is just another factory product, it's not an artistic work.
To me it doesn't matter who tells the story, but how he tells it.
If you want just one, or really good movie, then go for 'This is Elvis' which is ultimate documentary of his life and music.
The picture will speak for itself.

I like Cohen a great deal - sadly I have to agree with the one-star review. This is not a good film - badly made and no tribute to a iconic musician
