 | | 7. Gone with The Wind (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Clark Gable Hattie McDaniel Director: Victor Fleming | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 |  | Gone with the Wind - 70th Anniversay Ultimate Collector's Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/24/2009 8:21 AM | | As gilded and over-the-top as the Old South itself, the Gone with the Wind 70th Anniversary Collector's Edition Blu-ray release is an impressive tribute to one of the best loved films of all time. The Victor Fleming-directed (at least Fleming gets the credit) classic, based on Margaret Mitchell's book of the same name, looks exceedingly good in high definition, and the bonus items (video and otherwise) which accompany the release are sure to please fans. Everyone knows the tale of Gone with the Wind – Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) comes of age as the Civil War breaks out. It forces her to become an adult far sooner than she, and her family, may have wished, but Scarlett somehow manages – usually through conniving, lying, deceit, and other less than ladylike methods – to hold her family and her fortune together. read the full review | |

 | | 18. Gone with The Wind 70th Anniversary Gift Set new! | | | Starring: Leslie Howard Vivien Leigh Director: Victor Fleming | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 | | Gone With the Wind - DVD Review By: David Bezanson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/6/2009 9:42 PM | |
One of the classic films that defined American cinema, Gone With the Wind is a rare example of a collaboration involving hundreds of talents and egos that turned out great. Dozens of uncredited screenwriters (including F. Scott Fitzgerald, briefly) and hundreds of actors were marshaled by David O. Selznick for this effort. The resulting four-hour epic is, inflation-adjusted, still the highest-grossing movie of all time -- and it deserves to be. For millions of people, Gone With the Wind has helped to define the myth and reality of America’s most tragic (and much-misunderstood) period of history, the Civil War and Reconstruction. read the full review | |

 | | 21. Enemy At the Gates | | | Starring: Jude Law Joseph Fiennes Director: Jean-Jacques Annaud | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/25/2005 | User Rating: 5 | | Enemy at the Gates - DVD Review By: Norm Schrager - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/8/2009 5:39 PM | |
It’s Stalingrad, late 1942. A young Russian sharpshooter is picking off Germans at will, bringing a much-needed lift to a demoralized Soviet army. The impatient Nazis send their top sniper to kill the man. A World War diminishes in scope to a battle of two. With such a promising plot, absolutely ripe for gutsy drama and emotion, why does Enemy at the Gates ultimately fail? First, and foremost, because of its screenplay. Director Jean-Jacques Annaud (Seven Years in Tibet, The Bear) and partner Alain Godard take a horrific true tale and sap it of its energy, irony, and tension. read the full review | |

 | | 28. Braveheart | | | Starring: Mel Gibson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/18/2007 | | Braveheart - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/21/2009 2:42 PM | |
Mel Gibson deserves a lot more credit than I've been giving him. A few years ago, no one could have conceived that the action star could pull off the lead role in a dazzling, epic, historical adventure-thriller-romance, let alone direct it. But he does, making Braveheart a vastly entertaining and powerful film. Gibson plays Scottish hero William Wallace, a Scotsman with simple roots who finds himself thrust into a role as leader of the Scottish revolt against England in the late 13th century. After the despicable King Edward the Longshanks (Edward I) decrees that English nobles will have the right to sexual relations with all newly-wed Scottish women, the revolution is set in motion. read the full review | |
