The first time I watched it I was so busy laughing that it never registered even once.
The perfect antidote for (another) lackluster day at the office..........2007-05-21
That happy day when you finally graduate college and enter the workforce is upon you. You're eagerly anticipating putting your education to good use in an important, meaningful job; having an inspiring boss who will help you reach the full limits of your potential; mingling with interesting, supportive coworkers; and, of course, bringing home a big paycheck.
Get real. As the tagline for the hilarious "Office Space" so aptly puts it, "Work sucks." The live-action writing and directing debut of Mike Judge (creator of the "Beavis & Butthead" MTV series) is a hilarious tale of office doldrums that showcases what life is, sadly, often like in the workplace.
Ron Livingston (Mikey's friend Rob in "Swingers") plays down-on-his-luck Peter Gibbons, a 20-something who hates his job and is on the outs with his girlfriend. In a highly amusing opening sequence, Peter unsuccessfully battles some horrendous traffic on the way to work, and then arrives to his cubicle just in time to be lectured by his superiors for a tiny, inconsequential error he made.
It's a brutal day in the life of Peter, but unfortunately it's become the norm. However, when Peter goes to a counseling session with his girlfriend, an unexpected turn of events leads him to a new life philosophy: He doesn't give a s---. He disregards his boss' request that he work during the weekend, hangs up the phone on his (soon-to-be ex) girlfriend, and successfully asks out an attractive waitress he's had his eye on ("Friends'" Jennifer Aniston). Most significantly, he teams up with two of his coworkers, Samir (Ajay Naidu) and the unfortunately named Michael Bolton (David Herman), in a scam that will potentially screw the company out of thousands of dollars.
With the sharply written "Office Space," Mike Judge proves he's more than a one-note wonder by doing a superb job of capturing the malaise of the typical office environment. His most impressive directorial touch is an instantly classic scene in which Peter, Samir and Michael carry the office copying machine to a deserted field and literally kick the crap out of it. Shot in slo-mo and set to a gangsta rap tune, this scene is pure comic genius.
Livingston is a good comedic actor who has the talent to become a star in the mold of Matthew Broderick. He gets solid support from Naidu, Herman and Aniston (who deserves credit for taking a small role in this low-budget pic), as well as Gary Cole, who gives a top-notch performance as Peter's super-anal, monotone-voiced boss.
Whether you're a student looking for an amusing preview of what's in store for you on the job scene, or an unfortunate sap who's currently experiencing the hell of working in an office, you should get plenty of laughs from the excellent "Office Space."
Exactly as it happens in the office !!!!.......2007-05-14
Excellent performance of all actors. This movie is really similar to the regular life in the office. A lot of fun !!!
Office Space.......2007-05-12
This movie is a classic. A must see for all you 9-5 types!!!!
Funnyiest movie I'd never heard of.......2007-05-08
I must admit, I didn't know what to think when a friend recommended this to me, but I ended up enjoying this movie completly. It was hysterically funny, with some absolutely brilliant scenes which accurately describe life in any office, but particularly in the computer biz. Very witty and apt commentary on the things that go wrong with bad (or even average) leadership.

Given that Office Space is a bona fide cult classic, it comes as some surprise that Mike Judge's follow-up wasn't more heavily promoted. Granted, this live-action comedy is a darker, more pointed proposition, but it's unfortunate that few theater patrons got the opportunity to, well, judge for themselves. In Idiocracy, the King of the Hill creator visualizes what would happen if Devo's proposition--that mankind is in the process of devolution--came to pass. The catalyst: the overeducated start having fewer children while the undereducated have more. Enter Joe (Luke Wilson), a military librarian with no family and even less ambition. The Pentagon chooses him for a top-secret hibernation project due to his extreme "average-ness." They select Rita (SNL's Maya Rudolph), a prostitute, for the same reason. When the experiment goes haywire, the two emerge 500 years later--rather than one. Now it's 2505 and they're the brightest people in the over-polluted land. Everyone else is, basically, Beavis and Butt-head. Yes, the satire couldn't be less subtle, but the premise gives Judge license to make as much fun of junk food pop culture as dystopian classics like 1984 and Planet of the Apes. Wilson wisely plays it straight, even if the actors who surround him sometimes succumb to excess. And the effects may be cheesy, but that just adds to the fun. Idiocracy features former footballer Terry Crews (Everybody Hates Chris) as President Camacho and Dax Shepard (Punk'd) as Joe's futuristic friend Frito. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Description
From Mike Judge, one of the creative minds behind Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill and Office Space, comes an outrageous sci-fi comedy that'll make you think twice about the future of mankind.
Meet Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson). He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But when a government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed-down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. Now it's up to an average Joe to get human evolution back on track!
Filled with razor-sharp sarcasm and outrageous sight gags, Idiocracy will make you laugh out loud whether you're an absolute genius or a complete idiot!
Customer Reviews:
Great Movie.......2007-07-03
After seeing this movie at a friend's house I had to have it. Mike Judge again creates a very underrated but hilarious movie. I sure do hope the world does not turn out like this. Not an over abundance of special features, but this wasn't the most hyped movie either. Good addition to any collection.
You Can't Play Dumb, Dumb.......2007-07-02
The great sin here is that the film makers didn't see the irony of making a movie as moronic as the society they tried to parody. Judging from most of the reviews here society may already be further gone than we feared.
Actually quite silly ............2007-06-28
Cryogenics lead to two people finding themselves awakening in a future that I can't quite imagine anyone actually imagining, let alone making a movie of.
For some mindless and eye-rolling time wasting with general stupidity, it's recommended.
For any serious acting, dramatic plotline, or saving grace of any kind, forget it. :-)
Scariest Movie I've ever seen.......2007-06-27
I tell you what, Mike Judge is a genius. A scary, horrible genius with an insight that only Orwell would have appreciated. This movie may not be completely on the money, but I for one as an educated adult plan on reproducing as much as possible, and encouraging education in my offspring because if I have to ever imagine this future then I do not want to go on another day.
Start thinking for yourself.......2007-06-24
this movie was great. it made me laugh the entire time. the pimp named Upgrayedd was pure genious. there were plenty of people who told me that this movie was stupid so i didn't watch it. then one day i saw it at a friends house and bought it the next day. if you don't see this movie because of what someone else said then you are missing out. just look at it. if you don't like the movie then give it to someone who will.

A hallmark of the science fiction genre as well as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a sci-fi movie less concerned with special effects than with a social parable. A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., carrying a humanoid messenger from another world (Michael Rennie) imparting a warning to the people of Earth to cease their violent behavior. But panic ensues as the messenger lands and is shot by a nervous soldier. His large robot companion destroys the Capitol as the messenger escapes the confines of the hospital. He moves in with a family as a boarder and blends into society to observe the full range of the human experience. Director Robert Wise (West Side Story) not only provides one of the most recognizable icons of the science fiction world in his depiction of the massive robot loyal to his master, but he avoids the obvious camp elements of the story to create a quiet and observant story highlighting both the good and the bad in human nature. --Robert Lane
Description
The Day The Earth Stood Still depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort (Lock Martin), to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. After being shot at by military guards, Klaatu is brought to a Washington, D.C. hospital, where he begs a sympathetic but frank Major White (Robert Osterloh) to gather all the world's leaders so he can tell them more specifically what he has come to warn them about. Losing patience, Klaatu slips into the human world, adapting a false identity and living at a boarding house where he meets a smart woman with a conscience and her inquisitive son. Both mother and son soon find themselves embroiled in the complex mystery of Klaatu, his message and the government's witch hunt for the alien.

Sci Fi At It's Best.......2007-05-18
This movie earned a Golden Globe and it's message still holds true today.
Campy Drama / Sci-Fi Classic.......2007-05-12
Who knew that actress Patricia Neal and good old Francis Bavier (Aunt Bea from Mayberry fame) would ever appear together, along with Michael Rennie, in this sci-fi-cult screamer of a black-and-white classic, and that we will forever remember the line: "Gort! Klaatu Barada nikto!" This item is worth having just as a peerless piece of 50's memorabilia! Get it, watch it... and Wikipedia it for little known factoids!
One of the best sci-fi movies of the 50's.......2007-04-24
If ever a film could capture the very essence of syrupy conception while making us love it with utter devotion, this is it. The story is perfectly linear in construction, the characters neat and tidy. The story unfolds before you like a clean, speckled linoleum walkway. Just put on your high-tops and stroll along, glass of milk in one hand, cookies in the other. This is the film that reminds the peacenik in us that those higher powers, you know - the guardians of intergalactic peace we just know are out there, are watching, waiting for that single telltale act of malicious intent from homo sapiens that will bring down every last heat ray of righteous fury the outer space cops can muster and "leave our world a burned out cinder."
You'll love the fact that huge diamonds are the currency on the space cops' planet, and that he carries a few million dollars worth in the pockets of his borrowed woolen suit for change. You'll especially love the fact that just three little words, constructed of strangely Germanic phonemes, when spoken to a ten-foot tall robot awakened with a boy scout's flashlight, can belay its built-in command to destroy our world. Watch in bug-eyed awe as Michael Rennie's hands play over those big `ol light bulbs that double as his flying saucer's controls, waving this way and that, as he launches the most complex shipboard functions. Gasp agog as you discover that the cop's ship is made of material so tough that it's un-scratchable, un-filable and un-blowtorchable. Watch the space cop scribble the answer to a monstrously long mathematical equation on Albert Einstein's doppelganger's chalkboard to get the pipe-smoking professor's attention. It's pure poetry I tell you.
The Day the Earth Stood Still.......2007-04-04
This is the original classic movie that everyone should see. The props and the technology of film making has advanced but the differences in our world are the same. Man only does one thing well. He finds improved ways of killing each other. In this movie, though many years old, man is faced with a dilemma. Live in harmony or be eliminated by higher intelligence. Let's face it folks, no intelligent life form would want to have anything to do with a race of people that only excell at murdering each other and their own environment! It is a great movie.
The Earth Stood Still This Movie Moves On.......2007-03-19
After so many years this movie couldn't have been written better today than it was back then. A great theme ahead of it's time with a great cast. I wish they could still make movies today like they did back then. Unfortunately most of these older movies have lost their moral meaning throughout the 60's, 70's, 80's, and whatever was the 90's. It just goes to show that just because something is new doesn't make it better. Watch this movie and you will know what I mean.

A Disney "classic" that actually is a classic, Dumbo should be part of your video collection whether or not you have children. The storytelling was never as lean as in Dumbo, the songs rarely as haunting (or just plain weird), the characters rarely so well defined. The film pits the "cold, cruel, heartless" world that can't accept abnormality against a plucky, and mute, hero. Jumbo Jr. (Dumbo is a mean-spirited nickname) is ostracized from the circus pack shortly after his delivery by the stork because of his big ears. His mother sticks up for him and is shackled. He's jeered by children (an insightful scene has one boy poking fun at Dumbo's ears, even though the youngster's ears are also ungainly), used by the circus folk, and demoted to appearing with the clowns. Only the decent Timothy Q. Mouse looks out for the little guy. Concerns about the un-PC "Jim Crow" crows, who mock Dumbo with the wonderful "When I See an Elephant Fly," should be moderated by remembering that the crows are the only social group in the film who act kindly to the little outcast. If you don't mist up during the "Baby Mine" scene, you may be legally pronounced dead. --Keith Simanton
Description

Dumbo.......2007-06-21
Disney's fourth full length-feature (running just over one hour) remains a powerful, poignant family film, offering kids a clear and useful lesson on the virtues of tolerance. Dumbo's initial cruel treatment is still hard to watch, since we've all witnessed similar behavior. The empathy we feel for this misfit elephant only makes his ultimate triumph more satisfying. A defining classic in Disney's film legacy. Best for smaller fry.
The little elephant with the big ears.......2007-06-10
Who won are hearts is still flying high.
Gorgeous original Dumbo movie........2007-05-15
What a wonderful original Disney movie and such great quality. It is nice to know that you can still get the original movies in a new format, especially all the extras.
Mixed feelings on this one.......2007-05-07
One of the interesting things about having children (among the many wonderful and interesting things) is getting the chance to re-experience childhood and to see movies I enjoyed as a child. I was somewhat disappointed with "Dumbo," though, because of the scene in which the baby elephant Dumbo (who is ostracized by other elephants for having oversized ears) gets drunk, making it seem as if underage drinking is a harmless, playful activity that produces fun and funky hallucinations of dancing pink elephants. Other than that scene, the movie had a good message about overcoming adversity and turning personal weaknesses into triumphant strengths.
Great movie..........2007-04-10
We bought this movie as a birthday gift for our 2 year old grandson and now it's his favorite movie...An old favorite renewed for us and for his parents!

The Age of Aquarius is brought to life by the filmmaker who made Amadeus a household word. Milos Forman directed this version of James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Galt MacDermot's landmark musical in 1979 between his Oscar-winning films One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus. With mixed reviews (Gene Siskel named it that year's best film) and lukewarm box-office grosses, the film all but disappeared from the collective consciousness. Yet the film beautifully delivers on its promise to bring the '60s back to life. Hair re-creates a colorful world of counterculture finding an anvil to pound on: the Vietnam War. Forman and his design team allow the film to wash over you, starting at the free-flowing opening in which masses of hippies, police, and even their horses eagerly groove to the familiar beat of "Aquarius." In the best work of his career, Treat Williams makes his leading- man debut as Berger, the leader of the Central Park troop who takes draftee Claude (John Savage) under his wing on his trip through New York City and the apex of what the '60s was. The new recording of the music is quite fine, with Chicago band member Don Dacus's rendition of the title song a highlight. As Berger's pièce de résistance number says, "I've Got Life"; so does the film, right down to its poignant declaration to "let the sunshine in." --Doug Thomas
Description
Brimming with the energy, passion and music that rocked a nation, Hair is an entertaining and powerful tribute to the turbulent spirit of the '60s. Brilliantly recreated by OscarÂ(r)-winning* director Milos Forman and screenwriter Michael Weller (Ragtime), this vibrant screen version of the Broadway phenomenon ranks "among the best film musicals" (The Hollywood Reporter)! Fresh from the farm, Claude Bukowski (John Savage, The Thin Red Line) arrives in New York City for a date with the Army Induction Board, only to walk into a hippie "happening" inCentral Park and fall in love with the beautiful Shelia (Beverly D'Angelo, American History X). Befriended by the hippies' pacifist leader, Berger (Treat Williams, Mulholland Falls), and urged to crash a formal party in order to declare his love for Shelia, Claude begins an adventure that lands him in jail, Central Park Lake and, finally, in the army. But Berger's final effort to save Claude from Vietnam sets in motion a bizarre twist of fate with shocking consequences. *1975: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; 1984: Amadeus

Fantastic musical!.......2007-06-24
This movie was upbeat and fast paced. An extremely interesting storyline taking place during an extremely interesting time period in America. The tunes were catchy and I recommend buying the original broadway soundtrack- you'll memorize every song before you know it :-P
I actually had to watch this movie for my Asian Religions class...it's amazing what intellectual insights you can gain from this movie!
A Classic.......2007-05-16
Even if you don't usually like musicals, like me, you should still like this one, it is one of my all time favorites. It has some classic songs in it, including "Easy to be Hard", one of the very few that we are forced to listen to at work that I actually like, here are the lyrics to it:
"How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
{Refrain}
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
{Refrain}
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Come, on, easy to give in, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Much too easy to say no
Lyrics by James Rado
It has a young Treat Williams and John Savage, the latter playing a country boy who goes to the big city before he is supposed to go in the military. He meets a bunch of cool hippies led by Treat's character. There are some other classic songs in it like "Aquarius" and "Good Morning Starshine". Glad to see it on DVD. A bit of trivia via IMBD, it was the highest grossing film in Hungary in 1980. You can watch the trailer there, too, at IMBD. This is a very entertaining film, check it out.
Having acted Hair.. the movie seems too shallow.......2007-05-14
As a child of the 60's (1963) I never had the chance to see the plays that must have touched sensitive if not censored issues revolving around those days.. I had the chance of playing it in english here in Caracas in 1983 while in my early 20's.., by going ove the script and the music I got an appreciation for the depth of the play and its musical mastery!! well even in 1983 the director's decided to censor certain "nationalistic" questionings.. so I still hope that sometime I will get a full non-censured performance, is that too much to ask of life?
After this introduction I was excited on seeing the movie.. and what a disappointment, both musically as well as in performance.. and censored!!!! In the play we made people cry at Bergers death..in here, well see for yourself
Musicals are back!!!.......2007-05-12
I recently took a trip to Utah, and saw Treat Williams in a local restaurant. Our host mentioned this movie that he was in..therefore I purchased it as a THANK YOU for our stay..she said she laughed her [...] off watching this movie..now I wished I had bought a copy for myself!
Bad Hair Day.......2007-03-01
First off let me exclude Beverly D'Angelo from everything you are about to read. She is in my opinion one of if not the most talented actress/singers there ever was.....period! She is as always flawless. So here we go. As far as watching this movie ever again.....not if they held a gun to my head. Bad acting, bad directing, bad cinemetography, bad script, bad dance (can we call them dance) numbers, hense bad coreography, bad sound, bad politcal statement, in short a "Bad Hair Day"! A waste of film. Deserves to be in the dollar bin. Buy it and throw the DVD away and just keep the plastic box. It is the only thing in the package that has any value. A stinker!

Kevin Costner's 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and careful, the love story between Costner and Mary McDonnell's character is captivating. Only the third-act portrait of white intruders as morons feels overbearing, but even that leads to a terribly moving conclusion. Costner's direction is assured, the balance of action and intimacy is perfect--what more could anyone want outside of an unqualified masterpiece? --Tom Keogh
Description
A "truly spectacular" (The New York Times) film that combines action, romance and breathtaking adventure, Dances With Wolves is "a cinematic masterpiece" (American Movie Classics) that is nothing short of "a triumph" (Roger Ebert)!Sent to protect a US outpost on the desolate frontier, Lt.

gives you that cozy feeling!.......2007-05-14
Delightful yarn about an American soldier who betrays his country by providing firearms and military assistance to the enemy, then assists in the massacre of several of his fellow soldiers when they attempt to bring him to justice.
Great for the whole family!
Monumental Achievement!.......2007-05-14
I truly loved this film--the acting, driecting, writing, editing, and music were all superb. The scenery, the fighting, the romance, the humor, the buffalo hunt, the developing friendship--they were magnificent. Everything about this film was believable, inspiring, and involving. I saw this movie in 1990 and liked it, but this time, in 2007, I loved it, certainly enough to want to see it many more times . Buy it and keep it.
An American Masterpiece.......2007-05-13
Occasionally the stars align, all the pieces are together and working and the end result is a work of group brilliance. DWW meets that standard. Direction, music, acting, story, art direction, everything works. The result is a masterpiece to be viewed over and over.
Excellent, but what about disc 2?.......2007-05-11
Dear viewers and reviewers,
has anybody noticed, that in the 2 disc Collector's Edition, disc two bears the same material as on the second side of disc one?
When reviewing a product should be specified as is and not by its merits alone.
Unfortunately on the copy I did receive, following special features were totally missing:
1. No Dances photo montage with introduction by Ben Glass;
2. No Poster Gallery;
3. No TV Spots;
4. No Theatrical Trailer;
5. No ...and More! as advertised so pompously on the outer jacket...
All you get, and this already on the double-sided disc One, is the original Making of... and two separate commentaries, as well as John Barry's Music Video.
That's it!
Is it a packaging error? Go figure.
But you certainly don't find the above mentioned, and advertised items.
The movie is is presented on the two sided disc in its lengthened version and in full 2.35:1 screen ratio. The sound, as correctly stated is in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Stereo and is excellent.
I don't mind so much the missing specials, since the movie alone is a tiny masterpiece in its own right, but I do object to some practices, as to print things on sleeves, that do not correspond to the actual contents of the DVD box.
The second disc is just a repeat of part two of disc one...
Sorry people, but I thought you ought to know this, before buying it.
Good Quilty Movies..........2007-05-07
I am happy to say that the movie I got was full version no uncut scenes or deleted parts If you like romance,adventure,drama this is the movie to purchase it is a great movie I would buy from amazon again anytime its fast,great prices and enjoyable easy way to get what you want..

Product Description
One of Barbra Streisand's most beloved performances is that of the indomitable Dolly Levi in this hugely popular musical that received a Best Picture Academy Award nomination in 1969.
It's turn-of-the-century Yonkers, New York, where an ambitious young widow with a penchant for matchmaking (Streisand), has an idea for the perfect match-tight-fisted, local merchant Horace Vandergelder (Walter Matthau) and-herself! As she tries to win his heart, we're treated to one of the most musically entertaining, hilariously underhanded plots in film history. Directed by Gene Kelly, this Oscar winner for Best Sound, Music, Score and Art Direction/Set Decoration is among the world's most cherished films.

Running Time 148 Min

They just don't make musicals like this any more. There are some who would be grateful for that--the plot is but a flimsy excuse to string together song and dance numbers. Some of us, however, love big, splashy, overdone musical scenes, of which there are many. Glittering stage numbers showcase a commanding Barbra Streisand as Dolly Levy, a New York matchmaker who can find a mate for anyone. Anyone but herself, that is. Determined to marry wealthy Walter Matthau, she lures him out of Yonkers and sets about wooing him.
Don't worry about the lack of a solid story or Gene Kelly's pedestrian direction. Watch instead for the musical numbers and the lavish costumes. Listen to Jerry Herman's score, and dance around the living room when a sequined Streisand arrives in a club as Louis Armstrong strikes up the title tune for her benefit. (Just pull the shades first.) Based on Thornton Wilder's play The Matchmaker, Hello, Dolly! won Academy Awards for best sound, art direction, and musical score. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Customer Reviews:
A great musical.......2007-05-21
Although Streisand was a little too young to play the lead she made a note worthy lead. But it was the songs and choreogragphy that made this an excellent movie.
Wonderful Movie.......2007-05-08
I had watched this movie many times on TCM in letterbox. I even recorded it. Amazon offered it at half price so I jump on it. The bonus features are well worth it. This Movie is real. Not a bunch of CGI crap. Appreciate it for what it is. A marvel and masterpiece.
Hello...Dolly fans!.......2007-04-01
"Hey Mr. Armstine...here I am" and i loved this movie. Its got everything a musical should have, and more with barbra in it. Its a recommend for anyone with a song in there hearts.
Dolly Reigns supreme.......2007-03-10
There has been much talk over the years about Streisand being too young for the role. Who cares? This is a Hollywood classic proving some movies will remain popular forever. Fantastixc production numbers, costuming and art direction. Put on your Sunday clothes and check out Dolly. It is a great film. Barbra at her musical best.
Hello Dolly.......2007-03-09
I love Barbra Streisand. She didn't disapoint me with this movie. She is great. I really enjoy this movie and am happy to add it to my DVD library. Highly reccomend.

A perfect marriage of novel but incisive writing, acting, and direction, Big is the story of a 12-year-old boy who wishes he were older, and wakes up one morning as a 30-year-old man (Tom Hanks). The script by Gary Ross (Dave) and Anne Spielberg finds some unexpected ways of attacking obvious issues of sex, work, and childhood friendships, and in all of these things the accent is on classy humor and great sensitivity. Hanks is remarkable in the lead, at times hilarious (reacting to caviar just as a 12-year-old would) and at others deeply tender. Penny Marshall became a first-rate filmmaker with this 1988 work. --Tom Keogh
Description
At a carnival, young Josh Baskin (Hanks) wishes he was big ? only to awake the next morning and discover he is! With the help of his friend Billy, Josh lands a job at a toy company. But the more he experiences being an adult, the more Josh longs for the simple joys of childhood.
Customer Reviews:
Great movie.......2007-07-04
This is hands down Tom Hank's best movie to date... followed close by Forrest Gump.
BIG IS BIGGER THAN EVER WITH THE EXTENDED CUT!.......2007-07-02
I have seen this film many times and now I have watched the extended edition. This is one of those rare exceptions when a extended edition is welcome! The added scenes are not just garbage that should have never left the cutting room floor,but helpful scenes that answer many question I had in the original cut of the film. This is a worthy purchase because you get both version on this set,plus some interesting extras! The transfer is excellent!
"BIG" is B I G !.......2007-06-27
This is one of the top ten movies of the 1980's to come out that is a must see! This movie is an endearing story about friendship and the wonderful memories of childhood. Tom Hanks of course carries off the character very well and makes you love him! This extended version is great because it gives more details than the original version that were left unanswered. I loved it back then when it first came out and I love it even more now!! Great Flick!
BIG extended edition.......2007-06-17
Great extra features, nice clean print of the now "classic" film
Big -- Extended Edition.......2007-06-09
This has always been one of my favorite movies, and the extras on this version are great. I love the behing the scenes background information and the way the story was conceived and develped is really interesting. I highly recommend this DVD.

Susan George (Straw Dogs) is ex-groupie Mary and Peter Fonda (Easy Rider) is wannabe-NASCAR driver Larry. They're thieves on the run from sheriff Vic Morrow (The Blackboard Jungle), who carries neither gun nor badge. According to director John Hough (The Legend of Hell House), his white trash cult classic was "an action picture with a lot of stunts." That about sums it up. The Tarantino favorite is slim on character development, but overstuffed with automobile-oriented action (most revolving around a 1969 Dodge Charger). Notable stunts include a game of chicken with a couple of 18-wheelers, a low-flying helicopter chase, and a death-defying leap over a moving bridge (Speed would up the ante with a bus). Adapted from the novel The Chase, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry also has one shocker of an ending. Adam Roarke, as levelheaded mechanic Deke, and an uncredited Roddy McDowall, as supermarket manager George, provide solid support. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Description
Mary and Larry are two lovers, who , with Larry's ace mechanic, kidnap the daughter of a grocery store owner, and make off with the ransom. They are chased over hill, over vale by the cops, who deploy everything from 426 Hemis to helicopters to stop Larry's Dodge Charger

Loved the great "Real Time" high performance footage and legitimate sound effects. This little known flick is right up there with Bullitt and Vanishing Point as far as the action driving sequences go. I'm thrilled that it has finally been released on DVD. If you're a Mopar fan, it's a must have for your car chase collection.
