Woodstock -The 2 Disk Director's Cut Video Clip Clip 2  Clip 3  Clip 4  Clip 5  Clip 6   Choose Your Own Woodstock Adventure
1969 was a year unlike any other. Man first set foot on the moon. The New York Mets won the World Series against all odds. And for three days in the rural town of Bethel, New York, half a million people experienced the single most defining moment of their generation; a concert unprecedented in scope and influence, a coming together of people from all walks of life with a single common goal: Peace and music. They called it Woodstock. One year later, a landmark Oscar®-winning documentary captured the essence of the music, the electricity of the performances, and the experience of those who lived it. Newly remastered, the film features legendary performances by 17 best selling artists.

Stick ‘em up and get ready for a classic western train robbery with the first-time DVD release of Catlow from Warner Home Video (WHV) on DVD May 19, 2009. This comedic Western stars the unlikely combination of Oscar® winner Yul Brynner (The King and I, Anna and the King) and Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) along with Richard Crenna (The Flamingo Kid, Rambo).
“Louis L’Amour is one of America’s favorite storytellers with his tales of life on the western frontier,” said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing.
Catlow is a fun, action-packed heist movie and is sure to make the perfect gift for
Dad  or any Western fan this Father’s Day.”
Tough, lusty Catlow (Yul Brynner) is fast on the draw and even faster when it comes to making a dollar. He’s also a wanted man. The Mexican Army is after him. So are his hellcat girlfriend (Daliah Lavi), an Indian war party, a vengeful killer (Leonard Nimoy) and several hotheaded cowpokes from Catlow’s outlaw gang. Then there’s Catlow’s best friend Marshal Ben Cowan (Richard Crenna), who wants the pleasure of putting Catlow behind bars all to himself.


The Waltons: The Complete Ninth (Final) Season  - Video Clip   Clip 2   Clip 3   
For nine seasons from 1972 to 1981, the Walton family was America's family. Viewers' hearts were captured by the story of John and Olivia Walton, their seven children, Grandpa and Grandma as they faced the Depression and World War II with not much more than a love of the land and the rock-solid support of each other. This elegiac final season is the ideal capstone to the Emmy-honored and lovingly remembered series. The Walton boys endure terrifying dangers in Europe and the Pacific, then gratefully return to Walton's Mountain when the war ends. Peace brings new challenges, but also new beginnings and - for many of the family, young and old - new love. Share the final good night with The Waltons.


Dallas: The Complete Eleventh Season  -  Video Clip   Clip 2   Clip 3

So hang on to your Stetsons for 30 irresistible episodes of cheatin, lyin and tomcattin as J.R. claws his way back to the top. More drama: Bobby loses Pam but finds new romance. Cliff meets a broken-down wildcatter with dreams of gusher glory. Sue Ellen discovers that revenge is sweet. Two murder cases grab headlines. And a new crop of drop-dead gorgeous vamps with big schemes and bigger hair make life even more interesting for J.R.

The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie  -
Hare we go again! The ear-repressible Bugs Bunny takes top billing (we had no choice, it's in his contract) in this rollicking, rambunctious feature-length romp through some of the cwaziest cartoon cwassics! Things start out plenty looney as Yosemite Sam strikes a Devilish bargain to send Bugs straight to you-know-where!

And in the even loonier finale, Bugs turns Hollywood's glitziest awards ceremony into a cartoon-star-studded disast-hare zone! A fabulous, 24-carrot tour de farce from animation legend Friz Freleng!

Knots Landing: The Complete Second Season  - Video Clip

And there's a lot more excitement: J.R. and Bobby Ewing swap Texas drilling for California dreaming and visit, crooks muscle in on Gary, a hitchhiker accuses Sid of rape, armed robbers hold the cul-de-sac women hostage... and the season ends with a genuine cliffhanger: Sid careening toward a seaside cliff after someone tampers with his car!

An American in Paris   /    Gigi  - Video Clip   Clip 2  Clip 3   Clip 4
American in Paris BD (1951): Jerry Mulligan, a struggling American painter in Paris, is "discovered" by an influential heiress with an interest in more than Jerry's art. Jerry in turn falls for Lise, a young French girl already engaged to a cabaret singer. Jerry jokes, sings and dances with his best friend, an acerbic would-be concert pianist, while romantic complications abound.

Gigi BD (1958): Gaston (Louis Jordan), the scion of a wealthy Parisian family finds emotional refuge from the superficial lifestyle of upper class Parisian 1900s society with the former mistress (Gingold) of his uncle (Maurice Chevalier) and her outgoing, tomboy granddaughter, Gigi (Leslie Caron). When Gaston becomes aware that Gigi has matured into a woman, her grandmother and aunt (Jeans), who have educated Gigi to be a wealthy man's mistress, enjoin on him to become her provider and on her to accept such a golden opportunity. However, love adds a surprise twist to this delightful turn-of-the 20th century Cinderella story.

The Collectors Choice Films of Michael Powell
A 1946 fantasy made with fellow aesthete Emeric Pressburger under the Archers banner, Life and Death was originally commissioned by the British Ministry of Information to help boost postwar Anglo-American relations. Indeed, the war is very much still raging as the camera descends from its opening cosmic vantage to the foggy English Channel, where RAF bomber Peter (David Niven) falls for June (Kim Hunter), a young Yank radio operator, over the airwaves as his aircraft goes down in flames. His time is up, yet he manages to survive a parachute-free drop into the ocean: a celestial snafu, it turns out, so a messenger from the afterlife is sent to correct the oversight. This being an Archers picture, however, heaven is visualized as a black-and-white bureaucratic depot equipped with angel wings and Coke machines, and the Reaper figure is a flaming, powdered French fop (Marius Goring) who, down among the mortals, is delighted by cinematographer Jack Cardiff's vivid hues ("One is starved for Technicolor up there," he meta-quips). Trouble is, Peter has taken up with June and argues with fate to stay alive: "Yesterday I wasn't in love. Today I am." Hints that this loose telling of the Orpheus myth is taking place inside the felled pilot's wounded skull are further cemented when the doctor helping him (Roger Livesey) turns up as the attorney at his heavenly trial.
Next to such startling close-ups, gestures, and camera movements, Age of Consent may feel like a male menopausal doodle. Made by Powell in 1969 long after his partnership with Pressburger had dissolved (and after Peeping Tom had made him virtually unemployable), it is something of an anticlimactic swan song, barely mentioned in Powell's memoirs and remembered mainly by Mr. Skin members tracking down nude shots of Helen Mirren. The actress, 24 at the time, plays beachfront muse to James Manson's urban painter, who comes to Australian shores after artistic inspiration and finds it in the tawny water nymph. If elevating the film's lackadaisical tone to the aged-auteur serenity of, say, Ford in Donovan's Reef or Hawks in El Dorado is a bit of a stretch, there's no mistaking the self-portrait of the creator who lives for his art ("You only wanted me for your pictures," the lovelorn model complains to the painter). Whereas the same struggle ended in smoke and tragedy in Red Shoes, here it leads to sunshine and renewal. Age of Consent may not be the ideal capper to Powell's career, but it remains a monument to a cinematic conjurer who sought—and found—passion even in a flimsy travelogue.


Superman 1941 - 1942  - Video Clip   Clip 2  Clip 3   Clip 4  Clip 5   Clip 6     Enter to win
The Superman animated cartoons, commonly known as the ?Fleischer Superman Cartoons? were a series of seventeen animated Technicolor short films, which were based upon the comic book character Superman. These groundbreaking theatrical shorts are the very first animated DC Comics Superman cartoons and the first cartoon entitled ?Superman? to be nominated for an Academy Award® (Short Film - Animated). Each cartoon is brimming with action and special effects, beautifully drawn and colored, braced with fabulous background paintings and brought to life with realistic movement. These animated shorts are seen as some of the finest, and certainly the most lavishly budgeted, cartoons produced during the Golden Age of animation.

Doris Day Collection  - Video Clip   Clip 2  Clip 3   Clip 4   Clip 5   Clip 6

Quo Vadis  - Video Clip   Clip 2  Clip 3   Clip 4
MGM turned Henry Sinkiewicz's Nobel Prize-winning novel into one of the most extravagant production in film history. The epic tale is set in the decadence and decay of Nero's Rome, where Christianity is just beginning to foment. Robert Taylor (BILLY THE KID, JOHNNY EAGER) stars as Marcus Vinicius, a Roman military commander who falls in love with Lygia, played by Deborah Kerr (KING SOLOMON'S MINES, THE KING AND I). Lygia has recently converted to Christianity, and Marcus follows suit. The conversion establishes a rift between Marcus and the emperor Nero (Sir Peter Ustinov), who blames the growing religion for the turmoil within his empire, going so far as to throw Christian converts to the lions. But the real appeal of QUO VADIS is the grand Technicolor spectacle of ancient Rome burning, of marching armies, and of man-eating lions. Combined with the stunning score by Miklos Rozsa, QUO VADIS is worth watching simply for the sound and vision it offers.
