The Legend of 1900.......2007-03-05

I saw this movie on a flight between Hong Kong and Seattle. However, I fell asleep and missed the ending. I looked for several years before I finally found it. The Legend of 1900 was a wonderful movie and a great story. The ending was different from what I thought happened and my efforts to find it was well worth it! I highly recommended it.

Great Find.......2007-02-08

This is an excellent movie that didn't get much press, but when I found it through this vendor at such a reasonable price, I couldn't resist. It was shipped promptly and arrived in just a few days in excellent condition. I'm very pleased with my purchase experience with this vendor.

The Legend of 1900.......2007-01-04

I originally saw only a small portion of this movie on TV, but enough so that I purchased the DVD. Seeing the entire movie brought every thing into focus and using my own ranking scale, I gave it a strong B+.

The story line is unique, the characters and characterization wonderful and I have recommended it to many friends who I think will appreciate it. It is for people who have a sense of adventure and a fair degree of sensitivity, so I have been selective about my recommendations.

As for Bodies, Rest & Motion; I felt uncomfortable in viewing the first 15 minutes of it, so didn't bother watching the remainder.

1900 is One of my favorites. A really fresh look at life........2006-04-20

This was something completely different. What Hollywood doesn't produce anymore. A quirky somewhat melancholy movie that has many fascinating visual and auditory highlights as well as some darker moments that grab you and keep you thinking.

Legend of 1900.......2006-04-19

Haven't seen the other movie but had to own 1900. Good story and acting. The music scene during the storm is one of the most memorable of *any* film.

Description

Four twentysomething friends explore love, desire and commitment in this irresistibly charming, critically acclaimed romantic comedy. Rebelling against his dreary life in a small Arizona town, TV salesman Nick (The Legend of 1900's Tim Roth) abandons his girlfriend, Beth (Singles' Bridget Fonda), and strikes out onto the highway in search of... something else. Encouraged by her best friend, Carol (Fast Times at Ridgemont High's Phoebe Cates), Beth reluctantly accepts the romantic attentions of a local housepainter (Pulp Fiction's Eric Stoltz). But when Nick's impulsive road trip leads him back home again, the stage is set for a wildly comic chain reaction among four people whose lives have suddenly become hopelessly, hilariously intertwined!

Nick wants to move, Beth wants to stay, Carol is friendly, Sid has to paint
for the new owners. A weird story.

What are the other reviewers on?.......2005-04-24

I got this film by default as it was coupled with the "Legend of 1900" in a 2-DVD pack. I thought goodie ... I really like Tim Roth and in "1900" he is sparkiling, brilliant and ultimately very moving.

The opening music of "Bodies..." is about the best thing about the movie, and it keeps coming back throughout the film, which is a plus (stops you chucking things at the TV out of frustration anyway).

The rest of the movie is a complete pile of pants. The characters are universally unlikeable. Roth seems to try his best with the rubbish script but fails as he has least likeable character of the bunch. You come away not knowing or caring about any of them. Absolutley nothing happens in the movie (unless you count a totally gratuitous 'get your kit off' sex scene which isn't even well acted).

I have seen some lame films in my time but this really takes the cake. The characters were stoned though most of the film, and I can only assume some of the positive reviewers followed their example whilst watching.

The amazing thing is it comes with a full length commentary and various other odds and ends. I started to watch the featurette, but the first 2 minutes were so self serving and pretentious I couldn't watch it. There is no way anyone could provide an interesting commentary!

If I could give less than one star I would, as it is all I could do was put the DVD in the bin. I retained the DVD case though, it was worth more.

Interestingly the double DVD set is considerably cheaper than "Legend of 1900" on its own. I'd guess that's because anyone who is prepared to sit through this rubbish deserves a break on the other title.

My advice - buy "Legend of 1900" at full price and save yourself the grief!

A little too real, perhaps........2004-07-17

This highly memorable film is a far more accurate film about the slacker generation than "Singles." The cast is excellent.

Under-rated and under-recognized.......2004-03-14

Despite the little attention this movie has gotten, and the varied, sporadic comments and reviews, "Bodies, Rest and Motion" is the most wonderful thing I have seen in years. The four actors (Fonda, Stoltz, Cates, and Roth) could not do better to bring to us a very subtle, touching, and elegant portrayal of loves come and gone and lives living on threads. There's no action here, and very little actually happens, but the dialogue and the attention to details are so strong, you find you don't need anything more; you can simply revel in each actor's beauty and condition. You have to watch this movie more than once, and you have to cry at times, it's that good. I'm scratching my head why this movie did not make greater acclaim. Either I'm going mental, or the world is just missing out.

Dull and boring.......2003-11-27

I know this is a character study but when you don't care at all about any of the characters, it's still hard to like it. I sat through the whole thing and at the end, didn't feel I knew the characters any better than I did at the beginning and I could have cared less what happened to them.

Three star-studded, sidesplitting American comedy originals! A TV salesman (Tim Roth) abandons his girlfriend (Bridget Fonda) and small-town life in search of something else in the charming, critically acclaimed romantic comedy Bodies, Rest & Motion. Keanu Reeves plays a frustrated inventor and coal miner who schemes to kidnap his father but hits a snag when his mother doesn't want her husband back in The Prince of Pennsylvania. Larry Miller and Tommy Davison are two small timers framed for crimes they didn't commit in Pros & Cons, a new-kids-on-the-cellblock tale that's criminally outrageous!
