Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for his portrayal of Father Flanagan, who opens Boys Town and dedicates himself to helping juvenile delinquents go straight. Mickey Rooney plays one of the tougher kids, figuring out early on that Flanagan is nobody's fool. Warmhearted and inspiring, the film's inevitable sentimentality is nicely cut by Tracy's performance and a smart script by Eleanore Griffin and Dore Schary (who also won Oscars). A good film for all ages, directed by Norman Taurog (Adventures of Tom Sawyer). --Tom Keogh

THIS IS A "MUST" FOR EVERYONE !!! AN "OLDIE" BUT "GODDIE" !!! MANY LESSONS TO BE LEARNED !!!

Exellent Movie.......2007-05-13

I enjoy B&W movies. The acting in those days was superb. It is a great Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney movie.

There are no bad boys.......2007-05-13

Old fashion story of a tough kid with a soft heart who finds it with the right type of guidance. A classic story of right from wrong, repentence and redemption.

They Don't Make 'em Like They Used To.......2007-04-13

Boys Town is the story of the real Boys Town which was begun by Father Flannigan (Spencer Tracy) and which is known today for the national hotline made available for kids and teenagers. Boys Town was started as a place for kids of the streets to go to learn good behaviors and to stay out of trouble. Some embraced the idea and some rejected it wholeheartedly. However, Father Flannigan never gave up, claiming that there were no bad boys. Even in the toughest of cases, like that of Whitey Marsh (Mickey Rooney), he persisted and in the end, prevailed. Of course, the other boys helped, especially Boys Town's pet, Pee Wee (Bobs Watson).

In The Men of Boys Town, Whitey is used to help the new trouble boys, one of which has been crippled in a fight with a cop (Larry Nunn). He also takes matters into his own hands with a tough kid that escaped from reform school (Darryl Hickman). Sometimes helping people can get you into trouble, and sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do to benefit others.

These films are special because of their moral ideas, but also because they are not overly sentimental as to make them seem silly or forced. Each actor gives a fine performance brimming with innocence despite difficult lives.

There are some really nice special features here including a short about the real Boys Town starring the real Father Flannigan. Also is a bit of a promotional video about Boys Town with clips of Mickey Rooney visiting.

those were the times.......2007-01-05

This dvd belongs to the top of clasics, a master piece from both actors. Movie like this one are not made anymore, what a pity. There is only one word for it "SUPER" A MUST HAVE DVD

Flush from the breakthrough success of Blood Feast in 1963, producer David F. Friedman and pioneering goremeister Herschell Gordon Lewis followed up a year later with Two Thousand Maniacs!. The drive-in movie would never be the same. Filmed in 14 days in St. Cloud, Florida, on a luxurious budget of $62,000, this instant cult classic revels in the grisly fate of three unwitting Yankee couples who've been falsely detoured to the Southern hick town of Pleasant Valley (population 2000--get it?). These unlucky lovers are the guests of honor at a Confederate centennial celebration. What they don't know is that the twisted citizens of Pleasant Valley are vengeful ghosts of the Civil War, determined to dispatch their "guests" in deviously unpleasant ways. Simply put, Two Thousand Maniacs! (with Blood Feast) is the original "splatter" film.

On the murder menu: death by amputation, dismemberment by horses (one per limb), crushing by boulder, and, the most unsettling (or creative?), death by barrel rolling... with flesh-ripping nails in the sides. Tame by later standards yet still absurdly shocking, Two Thousand Maniacs! is the pure, funny-freaky essence of exploitation cinema, complete with the obligatory Playboy Playmate (Connie Mason) in the cast. Lewis (a former literature professor, no less) frequently cited this as his proudest achievement, and who's going to argue? With its crude direction, atrocious acting, and delirious redneck flavor, the movie genuinely deserves its place in cinema history, its dubious entertainment value proving surprisingly durable through the decades. A milestone of movie bloodletting, it was followed, appropriately enough, by Color Me Blood Red in 1965. --Jeff Shannon

Description

An entire town bathed in pulsing human blood from madmen crazed for carnage! The 2000 Maniacs of a small Southern town celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Civil War by forcing a handful of Northerners to serve as "guests" for a variety of macabre, blood-crazed fun and games. The festivities include a screaming man placed in a rolling barrel lined with nails, a hit-the-bull's-eye carnival game with a pretty gal and a boulder, and a blonde sexpot whose arm is hacked off and barbecued! But before they can slaughter the only smart Yank (Thomas Wood), he and the lovely Terry Adams (Connie Mason, "Playboy's Favorite Playmate") try to escape.

Southern Hospitality.......2007-04-30

Blood Feast may be Lewis' most famous film and the one that he'll always be remembered by, but 2000 Maniacs is seen as probably his best film by many fans. The budget's higher(just a bit), the acting is better(but just a bit), and the story is more imaginative(quite a bit). Though it's a gore film, I'd have to say that Blood feast was actually gorier than this one. But 2000 Maniacs(due to the budget it looks more like 20 maniacs) manages to be entertaining coz it actually is interesting and funny. Blood Feast only had the gore going for it(as well as a few laughs), coz you really can't say it was terribly interesting as far as story goes. But any way you slice it, both 2000 Maniacs and Blood feast are required viewing for the cult/exploitation/horror film fan, as well as any film historian for that matter.

The movie that started it all..........2007-03-05

Two Thousand Maniacs! (Herschell Gordon Lewis, 1964)

I think I may be the last fan of gore movies on earth to see Herschell Gordon Lewis' infamous Two Thousand Maniacs!, an exploitation-flick take on Brigadoon whose influence on the horror film genre cannot be overstated. In other words, everything there is to say about this hugely amusing little flick has already been said, and probably better than I would say it. This flick, right here, is the genesis of the "inventive ways to kill people" movie; in other words; it's pretty hard to think of more than one or two American horror flicks a year since The Abominable Dr. Phibes that aren't influenced by this movie, as outright bad as it is.

And yes, it is bad. The special effects have the cheesiness for which Lewis is known. The acting plumbs depths of "hideous" that even exploitation films rarely explore. The script is threadbare in its best moments, and unintentionally hilarious throughout. Is Two Thousand Maniacs! bad? You'll have more suspense waiting for an answer if you ask the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell what a beef and bean burrito is made of. And yet, it's driven by such earnestness and played so straight that it transcends bad; it's got the kind of cornball appeal that lends rewatchability, though I grant you that you'll get much more of a kick out of it the second (and third and fourth and...) time around if you're at a party and doing some serious drinking. **

"In 100 years, we'll be chasing them Yankees in rocketships!".......2006-12-19

What can one say about this film?

It is easily one of, if not the BEST Herschell Gordon Lewis films.

The plot is intriguing, the acting decent (exception for Connie Mason), the gore pretty good (Especially the barrel roll sequence. Its very chilling)

This movie is a hoot, and as others have said, the commentary track is very VERY interesting as well.

Worth seeing... Once........2005-08-16

'Two Thousand Maniacs' is apparently the second gore flim ever made. Technically speaking, it's superior to Lewis's 'Blood Feast' in pretty much every way, but I think I like that film more than this one. Suffice to say, you can be a lot better than 'Blood Feast' and still really not be very good, which this film proves amply. The direction is less flat, the acting is somewhat more natural, or intentionally over the top, rather than by accident, as it appeared to be in 'Blood Feast'. Still, this movie is quite a bit longer than 'Blood Feast', which is liable to hurt you, and the intentional humor and wackiness of this film can't match the unintentional humor and wackiness of that movie. Also, it's quite a bit less gory, though it's still severely out there by the standards of the time. Occasionally, the film does manage to generate a somewhat disturbing atmosphere, via the juxtaposition of the violence and the jovial behavior of the southern town. Of course, some people think the light-hearted behavior of the townsfolk actually lessens the impact, so you never know.

Most people seem to think that 'Two Thousand Maniacs!' stands out from Lewis's other films because it actually has something going for it other than the violence, i.e. the nutty southern townfolk. I'll admit it, there over the top antics are kinda amusing for a while, but it starts to were thin well before the film is over. (Much like how the terrible acting/dialogue in 'Blood Feast' starts to lose interest pretty quickly, though I found that stuff more amusing to begin with) Southerner's may not be too fond of how they're portrayed here, but it's so over the top that it really shouldn't be taken personally. The film also earns some points for it's somewhat novel premise. (For those who don't know, it's about a group of northerner's who are tormented and assailed by the ghosts of a southern town that was massacred in the Civil War.) Also, the countrified soundtrack is kinda fun, particularly the theme song.

Overall, this film certainly isn't great, or even good, but it's sufficiently amusing, and is definitely worth a look for serious horror fans.

Grade: C

Southern Discomfort..........2005-04-28

2K MANIACS is a blessedly twisted ghost story with enough goofy gore and bad acting to satisfy any / all fans of cinematic idiocy. Herschel Gordon Lewis' opus of hicktown vengeance is a marvel considering it's 1964 release date! Without the bloodletting, TWO THOUSAND MANIACS would be fairly dull. With the scenes of communal sadism however, it's like watching a bizarre cross between THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, HEE HAW, and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE! Never before (or since) have so many hillbillies gathered together in order to mutilate and kill unwary visitors from north of the Mason / Dixon line! Lewis has created a ghoulish feast of horror, a cautionary tale for any who would dare travel to the southern hinterlands! Beware! Rufe and Lester just might be waiting, putting up their fake detour sign, and hoping a car full of damn yankees will happen by! Stay away from Pleasant Valley! Drive right on past and avoid it's hellish centennial celebration! Don't end up like the poor saps who were cut, chopped, hacked, drawn and quartered, crushed, poked, and otherwise eviscerated! You have been warned...

In Boys Town (1938), Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for his portrayal of Father Flanagan, who dedicates himself to helping juvenile delinquents go straight. Mickey Rooney plays one of the tougher kids, figuring out early on that Flanagan is nobody's fool. Warmhearted and inspiring, the film's inevitable sentimentality is nicely cut by Tracy's performance and a smart script by Eleanore Griffin and Dore Schary (who also won Oscars). A good film for all ages, directed by Norman Taurog (Adventures of Tom Sawyer). Also included is the minor sequel, Men of Boys Town (1941), also starring Tracy and Rooney.

The 1938 MGM version of the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol is not the most rewarding of the various adaptations (that honor goes to Biran Desmond Hurst's 1951 film, starring Alistair Sim), but it has a strong if narrow performance by Reginald Owen as the miser Ebenezer Scrooge. Directed by Edward L. Marin, the movie is stiffer and less imaginative than it ought to be, but there are some compensations in the supporting cast, including Leo G. Carroll, and the film debut of little June Lockhart.

Christmas in Connecticut is a holiday film that plays 365 days of the year. Barbara Stanwyck gives a brilliant, sardonic performance as Elizabeth Lane, a columnist for Smart Housekeeping magazine, whose enticing descriptions of the exquisite meals she prepares for her husband and baby on their bucolic Connecticut farm earns her fame as "America's Best Cook." A writer, she is; a cook, she is not. As she types the words, "From my living room window, as I write, the good cedar logs cracking on the fire..." the view is of clothes flapping on the line outside her bachelorette Manhattan apartment. Cut to Jefferson Jones, a sailor adrift at sea for weeks after his destroyer is torpedoed. After his rescue, a marriage-minded nurse thinks she might nudge Jones to the altar if he could only be included in America's ultimate Christmas--the one to be held at the Lane family farm in Connecticut. Now, all Lane has to do is come up with a farm. And a husband. And let's not forget the baby. Christmas in Connecticut is classic screwball entertainment of the best kind, with its on-target skewering of social convention and house-of-cards-about-to-tumble tension: a perfect farcical vision of domestic blitz.

Skip "It's A Wonderful Life" this year. Dare to break that ubiquitous quasi-religious American ritual and consider the Classic Holiday Collection.

Double Oscar© winner for Story and Best Actor, 1938's Boys Town (and the 1941 sequel Men of Boys Town) will make you laugh and choke you up. Can't beat that for the holidays. Also in the set is the least famous of the various versions of A Christmas Carol (not the timeless 1951 British masterpiece with Alastair Sim). There's a featurette with Judy Garland singing "Silent Night." The third title is the comedy classic Christmas in Connecticut with a youthful Barbara Stanwyck.

Not Rated. Genre: Holiday Comedy/Drama. 6 Hours, 15 Minutes. Starring: Reginald Owen, Gene Lockhart, Henry Hull, Mickey Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Barbara Stanwyck, Sydney Greenstreet. Directors: Edwin Martin, Norman Taurog, Peter Godfrey.

*Love this movie!.......2007-02-12

Many people would think I would be messed up in the head, but I saw this movie Black circle boys years ago. I wanted to own it, and they no longer carried it in the stores to rent, like they did at one point. I went on Amazon, and my boyfriend bought it for me when I found it. I thought I was the only one to see it, and I wasn't. My boyfriend's friend saw it years ago. Eric Mabius is so hott to me, and so is Kyle. I enjoy watching it. I don't believe in all that satan stuff, and I think it cruel what they do, but all in all I love it!

Still much to learn from this film............2007-02-11

It's been some time since this film first appeared at Sundance at the end of the 90's but it does not lose it's power...
Many will shy away from it's difficult subject matter. It is not a family film. Neither is "Twin Peaks" and that is an indisputable masterpiece.

Watch the acting. These actors have much to offer. It's apparent that like most indie films, they need some script-tweaking but that not withstanding, it is worth your time...

Ricky Kasso Story.......2004-11-24

I saw this movie on late-night Showtime probably 5 or 6 years ago, and I remembered really digging it. It is "based on a true story", that being the one of Ricky Kasso in a 1984 New York suburb. But it's a very sensationalized version of the story.

The real Ricky was a drugged-out dumbass, who killed another dumbass for ripping him off, pretty simple. He listened to Ozzy and Maiden and had a few LaVey books and thought he was a Satanist. He tried to get all the people he knew into it, but they were only there for the drugs. Before he killed the dude he kept telling him to "Say you love Satan!" as he was stabbing him, like 21 times, then gouging his eyes out and smashing his head in. There were two other guys in the woods with him; one was his right-hand man, the other was some dude they didn't really know, who was just hanging out with them for the Acid he was on while he witnessed the murder (which led police to not believe his story).

The "Satanic Panic" of the media in 1984 grabbed the "DAMN DEVIL WORSHIPPERS" aspect of the story and made him into some Cult Leader, but in reality, he was just a dumbass headbanger. He hanged himself in jail, awaiting trial.

Discovery Channel did a documentary on it called 'Satan in the Suburbs' that's also available on amazon (I think). It's pretty much everything from the story. It's 45 minutes, which is too long, and very hokey (sinister narrator dude saying things like "It was an ordinary day, in an ordinary town, but this was no ordinary crime"...etc.) It does give every detail of it all...just.....very.....very.....slowly. Jim Van Bebber did pretty much a whole Re-Enactment film with a voice-over that told the story in 15 minutes called 'My Sweet Satan'....which is a brilliant little short film starring Van Bebber as Ricky. He updated it to 1995 and used Black Metal, but it's pretty much the story. It's in the extras on the DVD for 'Deadbeat at Dawn'.

Black Circle Boys elaborates on the story, making the "just some guy hanging out with them for the Acid" the heart-throb male lead and also the "new kid in town who falls in with the wrong crowd". Ricky (Shane in this movie) is a lot more intelligent and sinister than the real Ricky. They added a love interest and all the other crap "needed" for a script, and more murder and mayhem than the real story.

The acting is really, really good. The dude that plays the retard, Rory (Chad Lindberg...the real kid's name was Gary") did a fantastic job, and the other 3 main actors were great. DONNIE WAHLBERG plays the older, creepy, gay, Satanist who teaches Shane everything. There was a real guy named Pat I think, that educated Ricky. I assume that's who Donnie's character was based on.

The story was good, except the love interest crap and the "teen angst" vibe of it. It also played sometimes like a Lifetime movie with the sap, but the dirty Indie side makes up for those moments.

Bloodletting, cat sacrifice, lots of imagery and pentagrams, etc. They did the film the right way on this type of stuff; don't go overboard with it, but make sure that people who know what it's all about aren't turned off cause you screwed it up.

The ending was weak and the Final Showdown wasn't really believable, but I'm not complaining. Overall it's a good little movie guaranteed to please the Metalhead within you.

There was another movie made within the last few years on this story called 'Ricky 6', but I haven't made a huge effort to find a copy yet. Ebay is my friend.

Two thumbs up.......2004-04-28

In my opinion this movie is exactly what you would expect it to be. Sure it is vulgar, sure there are a lot of explicits throughout the movie and much drug use, but it is what it is. Scott's charachter is coming to grips with his friends death and looking to fit in and rebel where ever he can. It is a dark movie not suited for children, but if this is the type of movie that you enjoy and go into it knowing that it is dark, vulgar and morbid, and that is what you want to see at the moment then you get what you rented. No this is not what teens are like, nor is TX Chainsaw real either, the point is just sit back and either enjoy it or hate it, but I give it 4 out of 5 stars. It is what it is.

POINTLESS.......2004-04-14

Eric Maibus and Scott Bairstow have become fine young actors, and even their adequate performances cannot save this dismal, pointless, lurid and sadistic movie. Dee Wallace Stone should be ashamed for participating. Maibus plays the hypnotic leader of a teenage devil cult, with no conscience, morals, or regard for anyone but himself; Bairstow plays the usual "misunderstood" teen who looks to the group for acceptance. The script is laden with offensive four letter words in every other sentence; enough is enough. If this is the way teens talk, then steer me clear, folks. There is no heart or soul in this movie, and no reason to rent or buy. NO STARS. C'MON AMAZON, WHEN YOU GONNA GIVE US THE 0 STARS OPTIONS???

Worth having for Lizzy fans.......2004-11-24

As has been well documented by others, the sound here leaves something to be desired, but it's not unlistenable IMO - it was 1977 after all. It is disappointing, however, if no effort has been made to address this since earlier format releases. Lack of any video extras is disappointing too, & gives this a cheap feel. The band & their performance can't be faulted tho. Gary Moore is incendiary, just an absolute joy to behold his prodigous talent taking shape. The band is tight & feeds off the crowd's energy. It's an inspired performance. Lynott is superb, cheeky & energetic. I think it's a great (although flawed) document of this period of Lizzy & Moore.

Great video but could you somehow adjust the audio?.......2004-11-13

Any Thin Lizzy fan has had a copy of this show for years as a bootleg or legitimate VHS release. The problem with this dvd is there are no extras and the sound quality is that of a transistor radio. The picture quality is terrific and probably the best official release of Phil Lynott and the boys visually. "Live & Dangerous" if you can find is also worth the money with better sound. This show definitely captures the energy of Lizzy live, it is just such a shame that the sound is so bad. I would have given this a much higher rating if they could fix the sound, is Australian TV that bad in sound quality?

avoid at all costs.......2004-10-05

i bought this on vhs and the sound is horrendous! i bought it on dvd figuring that they couldn't be that stupid not to remaster the sound........they didn't fix nothing.............it sucks! only for die hard fans!

A rare view of a great band!.......2004-06-22

I just wish the sound was better, other than that, it rocks!a must have for all Lizzy fans, imo.

Avoid especially if your a die hard fan.......2004-05-31

Sound is incredibly horribly terribly bad. Video is ok. Extremely dissapointed. Feel I should destroy my copy to protect real fans of a great band from seeing it. Rhino video is a name I'll avoid in the future if possible. Very lazy indeed. Just horrible and painful even for a die hard fan of one of the best bands of all time. Thin Lizzy. Looking for something better on the boys.

The best of the Kart........2003-05-28

Video Kart came out with 4-double feature/discs featuring the Eddie Dean, Bob Steele, and Lash LaRue B Westerns. All are good but this is the best of the group - not so much as to the selection but more so as to picture quality, especially Driftin'River. The other black and white features had very intense contrast- so that the night and dark scenes were essentially black and white with hardly any shades of grey in between, which makes it difficult to appreciate the finer details. But this is not so with Driftin River which somehow come off well. The Bob Steele feature- Thundertown was also much better than the previous two releases by Video Kart.The features appear to have been cleaned-up versions of the originals but not actually full blown restorations. These are better than some of those B westerns transferred to DVD but were merely copied from the VHS EP versions. Let's hope Video Kart comes out with more of these westerns - especially those Cinecolor team-ups of Eddie Dean and Lash Larue.
