Here we go again -- I decided to do this list over for a few reasons: 1. I enjoy these pages myself; 2. I eliminated all films from 1960 and later as they were not usually relevant to the movie stars or movie collectibles covered on this site; 3. I wanted to scrap some of my briefer reviews and leave the films and/or discs open to better interpretation the next time that I watched them; 4. My more recent reviews were getting longer and I decided that each film needed it's own page.

What this is -- This is a list of every classic DVD that I personally own.  They may or may not be my favorites, but they are those that I have either bought myself or received as gifts with nothing left out.  After I watch them for the first time or to refresh my memory with a new viewing I comment on the films and/or the disc features.  I'm doing this because I enjoy doing it and like everyone else love to share my opinion on these classics.

Reading the list -- Okay, below is the list, in chronological and then alphabetical order.  If I've watched it recently and written anything about it, then the film is linked to a page with my comments.  On the comment page is a link to the IMDb for further info, my Amazon affiliate link to purchase the movie itself, links to profile pages on this site (when a star's name is linked) or other comment pages when I mention another film title that I've already covered on this list, and of course, my comments.

February 2006 Note -- The update mentioned above is still being worked on.  I'm going through my old list and copying over any write-ups that I already like on their own new page.  I'll also add new ones after I kick back and watch one of the films on the list again (or for the first time).  If a film doesn't have any links at all, that just means I haven't gotten to it yet, but please be patient, I love watching my movies and they'll all have a page eventually!

PS: Here's a very entertaining site that is entirely composed of DVD Reviews -- Andys DVD Reviews -- Award-winning journalist Andy Cooper writes about movies, old and new.  I love his conversational writing style, plus he's got pretty good taste too!
