A Few Good Men
A U.S. soldier is dead, and military lawyers Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee and Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway want to know who killed him. "You want the truth?" snaps Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson). "You can't handle the truth!" Astonishingly, Jack Nicholson's legendary performance as a military tough guy in A Few Good Men really amounts to a glorified cameo: he's only in a few scenes. But they're killer scenes, and the film has much more to offer. Tom Cruise (Kaffee) shines as a lazy lawyer who rises to the occasion, and Demi Moore (Galloway) gives a command performance. Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, J.T. Walsh, and Cuba Gooding Jr. (of Jerry Maguire fame) round out the superb cast. Director Rob Reiner poses important questions about the rights of the powerful and the responsibilities of those just following orders in this classic courtroom drama. --Alan Smithee

Easy Rider
This box-office hit from 1969 is an important pioneer of the American independent cinema movement, and a generational touchstone to boot. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper play hippie motorcyclists crossing the Southwest and encountering a crazy quilt of good and bad people. Jack Nicholson turns up in a significant role as an attorney who joins their quest for awhile and articulates society's problem with freedom as Fonda's and Hopper's characters embody it. Hopper directed, essentially bringing the no-frills filmmaking methods of legendary, drive-in movie producer Roger Corman (The Little Shop of Horrors) to a serious feature for the mainstream. The film can't help but look a bit dated now (a psychedelic sequence toward the end particularly doesn't hold up well), but it retains its original power, sense of daring, and epochal impact. --Tom Keogh

As Good as It Gets
For all of its conventional plotting about an obsessive-compulsive curmudgeon (Jack Nicholson) who improves his personality at the urging of his gay neighbor (Greg Kinnear) and a waitress (Helen Hunt) who inspires his best behavior, this is one of the sharpest Hollywood comedies of the 1990s. Nicholson could play his role in his sleep (the Oscar he won should have gone to Robert Duvall for The Apostle), but his mischievous persona is precisely necessary to give heart to his seemingly heartless character, who is of all things a successful romance novelist. As a single mom with a chronically asthmatic young son, Hunt gives the film its conscience and integrity (along with plenty of wry humor), and she also won an Oscar for her wonderful performance. Greg Kinnear had to settle for an Oscar nomination (while cowriter-director James L. Brooks was inexplicably snubbed by Oscar that year), but his work was also singled out in the film's near-unanimous chorus of critical praise. It's questionable whether a romance between Hunt and the much older Nicholson is entirely believable, but this movie's smart enough--and charmingly funny enough--to make it seem endearingly possible. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description

The Hunt for Red October
Based on Tom Clancy's bestseller, directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard) and starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, The Hunt For Red October seethes with high-tech excitement and sweats with the tension of men who hold Doomsday in their hands. A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Connery). The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst (Baldwin) has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it - because the entire Russion naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on!

Patriot Games
Harrison Ford stars as Jack Ryan in this explosive thriller based on Tom Clancy's international best-seller. His days as an intelligence agent behind him, former CIA analyst Jack Ryan has traveled to London to vacation with his wife (Anne Archer, Fatal Attraction) and child (Thora Birch, All I Want For Christmas). Meeting his family outside of Buckingham Palace, Ryan is caught in the middle of a terrorist attack on Lord Holmes (James Fox, The Russian House), a member of the Royal Family. Ryan helps to thwart Holmes' assailants and becomes a local hero. But Ryan's courageous act marks him as a target in the sights of the terrorist (Sean Bean, Stormy Monday) whose brother he killed. Now Ryan must return to action for the most vital assignment of his life: to save his family. Costarring James Earl Jones (The Hunt For Red October).

The Hunt for Red October
Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting postmovie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic costar: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the U.S. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom Keogh

Patriot Games
Let's see--he's been Han Solo in three films and Indiana Jones in three more. So why shouldn't Harrison Ford take on a new continuing character in Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan? In this film, directed by Phillip Noyce, Ford picked up the baton when Alec Baldwin, who played Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, opted for a Broadway role instead. In this film, Ryan and his family are on vacation when Ryan saves a member of the British royal family from attack by Irish terrorists. The next thing he knows, the Ryan clan has been targeted by the same terrorists, who invade his Maryland home. The film can't shed all of Clancy's lumbering prose, or his techno-dweeb fascination with spy satellites and the like. But no one is better than Ford at righteous heroism--and Sean Bean makes a suitably snakey villain. --Marshall Fine

Amazon.com

Imaginative special effects by the legendary Ray Harryhausen are the highlights of this adaptation of Jonathan Swift's classic fantasy novel. Kerwin Mathews, who rose to fame after appearing opposite Harryhausen's "Superdynamation" effects in The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1958), stars as the English Dr. Gulliver, whose travels bring him in contact with both the diminutive Lilliputians and the gigantic Brobdingnagians. Director Jack Sher's script (with Arthur Ross) tempers Swift's pointed satire in favor of broader humor, and the musical numbers are decidedly unwelcome, but viewers of all ages will be delighted by the film's spirited action and Bernard Herrmann's rousing score. Harryhausen aficionados may be disappointed by the lack of fantastical creatures on display (though a giant squirrel and alligator are impressive), but his matte work here is nothing short of spectacular. --Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews:

No Monsters But Still Watchable.......2007-03-21

3 Worlds of Gulliver has some pretty high expectations to meet being that special effects master Ray Harryhausen was involved. The master of stop motion model effects, Harryhausen was responsible for creating giant Cyclops, Medusas and battling skeletons in other films like "Jason and the Argonauts" and "7th Voyage of Sinbad". Unfortunately, "Gulliver" did not call for such a roster of memorable creatures.

Most of the effects have to deal with size, true to the novel by Jonathan Swift. Gulliver either occupies a world of giants, or a world where he is the giant. Harryhausen pulls off these sequences quite convincingly using minatures, over-sized props, or perspective shots with the "giants" closer to the camera than the "little people.". Nevertheless, there are a few stop motion monsters that are in line with Harryhausen's other works- a giant alligator for Gulliver to fight in the land of the giants, and a giant chipmunk sequence that makes for one of the films best scenes. Still and all, despite the shortage of stop motion monsters, Gulliver is harmless entertaining family fun. It is a well mounted production that still holds up today, and completes the collection for any Harryhausen fan.

Wonderful and witty film. . ........2007-01-29

Ray Harryhausen, Kerwin Matthews and company do a fine job with Jonathan Swift's outrageous and scathing satire, and it's a film the whole family can enjoy (although wee ones may be a bit scared of the alligator and laugh at the squirrel). I have no problem with the fullframe presentation, although it would have been nice to see it in its original ratio, letterboxed. The transfer is fine and crisp, and Bernard Herrmann's delightful score is clear and full. As for the aspect ratio, originally it was in 1:85, which is pretty darn close to TV framing, so fullframe doesn't really hurt THE THREE WORLDS OF GULLIVER. The only Harryhausen film this would have been a problem with is FIRST MEN IN THE MOON, as that is his only film in 2:35 widescreen. Columbia does have their DVD edition of this film in its proper ratio. GULLIVER is just fine. Enjoy!

the 3 Worlds of Gulliver.......2006-11-03

Its a great movie, good graphics non violent makes one use their imagination.

quirky and wonderful version.......2006-01-13

This was one of the first films I ever saw and parts of it stuck in my imagination for 43 years. So, sitting down with my kids, I was very curious as to how I wd find it. In a nutshell, it is great.

But the most rewarding thing was how much my kids loved it, in particular my son. At 6, the whole story to him was fascinating and got him to ask me all sorts of questions, like, why are the Lilliputians arguning about such silly things and why are the giants so dumb? That is exactly what Swift was hoping to do with this tale, which espouses many of the theories (rationality, the uses of science in human society, etc.) that were becoming popular with the enlightenment. What a delight to discuss these issues with my kids!! THen there are the characters, such as Gulliver's naivte, which leads to some life-threatening situations. Finally, there are the wonderful special effects - Harryhausen had a certain genius for his time - which are crude by today's standards by still enthralling.

Warmly recommended for the entire family. (Note: I got this as part of the 5-film package deal of Harryhausen films, which cost just 1/3 more than this stand-alone version and lacks the documentaries, which I don't think are worth the difference in price.)

Noncombative answer to screen ratio transfer debate........2005-03-29

If you're considering a purchase of this title, but are wary because of the occasional misinformation and confusion regarding the original screen ratio and the preservation of this ratio in the transfer, then don't fret. With no intention of starting a debate, I can comfortably state that the film hasn't been re-formatted to fit your screen (although this is inaccurately stated before the film begins). Concerned that the studio/corporation had balked on an authentic widescreen transfer, I spent more time than I care to admit in pursuit of clues and/or answers without doing any severe film-scholar-like research. Anyway, although you may encounter what appears to be a 16X9 transfer in the U.K. and EU markets, I don't believe that these are any more accurate than the supposed widescreen preview/trailer found on several of the Harryhausen Collection discs. In fact, it's the very preview on "3 Worlds" for "3 Worlds" that solved the riddle. Here's the deal: It's a banded, or barred trailer (wherein the black bars at the top and bottom are actually hiding or covering the picture beneath). Whether this was done for exhibition on a 1:85 to 1 or 16X9 big screen, I can't say, but the visual material in between the bars is composed the same as the "supposedly" cropped transfer. I took a couple of easy-to-find images from the trailer and double-checked them by using the chapter search. Anyway, you don't want the widescreen version of "3 Worlds" anymore than you want a widescreen version of "Shane." It simply isn't the screen ratio in which these films were shot. If you think I'm wrong, then please check for yourself. Screen composition and visuals are only being compromised in the artificially "wide" versions. Lastly, while viewing this watered-down, but totally delightful feature, you'll notice that the on-screen composition fits the 1:37 to 1 ratio, which is to say that the character group shots fit very comfortably, as does the entirety of the film's action, while there aren't any distracting pan-and-scan artificial edits that usually show up during two-shot dialogue sequences and the like... Please pardon this messy and long-winded response to the transfer complaints that I came across, but I felt sort of obligated to save some time for those of you who may want to view or purchase this title, but may (understandably) hesitate due to the feedback conflict.

Unfortunately we can not buy this series in Europe, so I had to buy them in the USA.
This series is as good as I remember it.
Fantastic, I can recommend it to everybody.

Real Brady Bunch Kids .......2007-05-21

Of course there are many fans of this show. But there are many also that make fun of the Brady Family. Yet as a black person who went to an integrated school in the late 60's and early 70's I remember Brady Bunch types that actually existed in high school (at least before everybody turned into hippies by the 12 grade).

There were real Marsha and Jan Bradys. They were usually the ones that attempted dialogue with other blacks, especially if you happen to be the only one in class. They were often more accessible to minorities than popular athletes and cheerleaders were. And though they sometimes treated you as if their parents had instructed them: "Now Johnny when you go to school remember that black people are just as good as you are," they still seemed geniuine in wanting to make you feel welcomed.

Kids, who in their small way, tried to make the integration thing work at school in the 60's and 70's are often not heralded, but they deserve to be remembered also.

Yes, believe it or not, there were real Brady Bunch kids at one time.

Sunshine day!.......2007-03-26

Growing up in the '80s, I used to watch the show in reruns. Cheese factor aside, I still loved the Bradys. Who wouldn't be envious of all those kids and their assorted adventures, in a spacious house that was mysteriously never the tiniest bit messy despite all those kids? Mom Carol was always home, graciously sporting the latest '70s fashions and doing nothing in particular, necesitating the presence of housekeeper and all-around family adviser Alice. Dog Tiger bounded about on the Astroturf lawn, and someone - Carol? - in this eight-person household actually had time to curl little Cindy's pigtails every morning.

Whether you're six or sixty, grew up watching the original episodes or never saw one yet, it's worth your while to pick up this show. The Brady Bunch are guaranteed to bring you lots of laughs.

Don't buy this pack just yet..........2007-02-23

A new compilation is being released (with Shag Carpet Cover) and extras such as the "Very Brady Christmas" reunion movie and the Brady Kids cartoons. AND you can pre-order on Amazon for cheaper that the current series pack.

Bring back the memories.......2007-01-10

I purchased this collection for my 11 year old daughter, but my wife and I have really enjoyed watching all of the episodes too. Its kind of funny that after 30 years you can still remember the story line. It's a great collection and it will bring back many memories.

GREAT 3 PACK DVD COLLECTION........2007-06-08

YOU GET ALL THE ORIGINAL FILMS. THE BEST OF COURSE IS THE EXORCIST, THE VERSION YOU'VE NEVER SEEN. WHICH HAS DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY, WHICH IS GREAT. 12 MINUTES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO MISSING SCENES FROM THE ORIGINAL 73 VERSION. I SAW BOTH THE ORIGINAL AND THE 2000 VERSION WHEN THEY CAME OUT. I COULD COMPARE BOTH VERSIONS. THIS IS THE BEST. BETTER SOUND QUALITY. BETTER VISUAL EFFECTS. THIS FILM WAS FILMED IN NYC IN AN AIR CONDITIONED STUDIO. THE ACTORS ARE ACTUALLY FREEZING. IT'S NOT LIKE TITANIC, THAT DIGITAL VAPOUR WAS ADDED. THIS IS THE REAL THING. EVERYONE HAS LAYERS OF CLOTHING, EXCEPT POOR LINDA BLAIR. SHE ONLY HAS A NIGHTGOWN, NOT FAIR. ALL IN ALL A GOOD BUY. THANK YOU

cool set for a low price.......2004-08-23

This is a really well priced set for a great trilogy of movies.

Excellent Deal!.......2004-08-21

I watched all the exorcist movies on TV long time before and I would like them to join my DVD collection. I bought the Exorcist III at a very special low price. Then I was waiting for the Exorcist I and II on sales for big discounts. Wait & wait....never ever happens. On the other hand, Exorcist 0 'The Beginning' is coming soon in August and I would like to re-watch all the previous exorcists before my adventure of 'The Beginning'. Thinking for a while (it's a couple months long thought), should I buy Exorcist I & II? Hmm......Bingo! I got the news that Warner Home Video is going to release the 3-pack trilogy on Aug. 17. at a very low price. Whew~~ I pre-ordered it right away.

This 3-pack trilogy is a great news to all Exorcist fans who hasn't owned the full DVD sets yet. Even though there's no extra features or fancy box set wrapping around them, I think the attractive low price for this 3-pack is the huge factor for driving people's desire of ownership. Besides, all of three Exorcist I, II, III, are the great movies in horror film history. I think this 3-pack is an excellent deal!

Doesn't Get Any Better Than This...........2004-01-14

This review refers to the Columbia Tri Star DVDs "Jack-3Pack"

Such A Deal!....Jack fans, RUN, don't walk to add this fabulous selection of Nicholson films to your shopping cart! "Easy Rider", "A Few Good Men", and "As Good As It Gets" are all outstanding films,that all include other mega stars as well,and three that span Jack's career from 1969 through 1997. The editorial reviews here will give you an excellent description of the films themselves(if by some remote chance you have not already seen any of these), so this review will concentrate on this package deal and the DVDs.

Coulmbia has put together a very nice deal. All three look and sound great.All may be viewed in widescreen("As Good As...also gives you the choice of a full screen version),and have bright, clear pictures with outstanding color. I was especially impressed by "Easy Rider", which was made in 1969.
Each DVD also gives you the choice of surround sound in 5.1 or 2.0(go to audio set-up, as they all automatically default to 2.0), and surrounds beautifully. Wait till you here that classic soundtrack from "Easy Rider"! Each DVD in their own keep case, has some special features, including commentary,interviews("Easy Rider"&"A Few Good Men"), and a "Making Of" featurette("Easy Rider").They each also include inserts, that have various info related to each film. ER may only be viewed in English, but AFGM and AGAIG, have other languages selections including Spanish and French. There are many choices on the subtitles...they are a little tricky to get to though. Other than English, I had to go through the sub-title button on my remote, I could not get them to come up just by going through the DVD menu(I never had to do this on other DVDs).And on ER..the first scene, of the drug deal, most of the dialouge is in Spanish, but there are no subtitles in this scene at all.After that, even all the great music is subtitled!

This is too good of a deal to pass up. We cannot mention prices, but if you check out each DVD individually, you will see that this package deal is the way to go.

For yourself, or a gift, for any fan of Jack Nicholson...the films, the quality, the price....It's "As Good As It Gets"...enjoy....Laurie
