 | | 2. Do the Right Thing (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Danny Aiello Spike Lee Director: Spike Lee | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/30/2009 |  | Do the Right Thing - 20th Anniversary Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/29/2009 10:47 AM | | Visceral, challenging, immediate, and uncomfortable, Do the Right Thing hasn’t lost any of its bite over the last 20 years. Often considered Spike Lee’s masterwork — I’d say it’s definitely in the top three — it will likely endure better than any of his other films. The racial questions the film provokes are still relevant now even if the circumstances surrounding most issues of race aren’t quite as inflamed as in the film. Lee himself certainly thinks the questions still need to be asked. Do the Right Thing works because despite the over-the-top nature of many of the events (even this is debatable), it’s not purely a message movie. read the full review | |

 | | 11. Terminator | | | Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger Director: James Cameron | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/6/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | The Terminator - DVD Review By: Max Messier - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
I'll never forget the first time I saw James Camerons The Terminator. I must have watched that movie at least 100 times during my youth. But during the 101st viewing, the VHS copy I stole from my uncle Daves video collection was eaten by my crappy old-school, top-loading VHS player. Damn, that sucked. The Terminator stands as a personal favorite. Schwarzenegger was in his prime in the 1980s -- in guilty pleasures like Commando, Raw Deal, Predator, Conan The Barbarian, and The Running Man. But he gave many kids my age something to hang on to during the Reagan years. Schwarzenegger was our generation's John Wayne, a muscle-bound bodyguard extracting his own kind of vengeance from a cold and dangerous world. read the full review | |

 | | 34. Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (Widescreen) (2-Disc) | | | Starring: Emma Watson Rupert Grint Director: Chris Columbus | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/14/2006 | User Rating: 5 |  | Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - DVD Review By: Norm Schrager - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/4/2008 10:31 PM | |
When youre the chosen one, like the boy wizard Harry Potter, expectations surrounding your arrival can be quite high. The same can be said for the film adaptation about said boy wizard, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. And while the young wonder might not let his magic school chums down, the movie chronicling his early wizard years could use a little lift. Which isnt to say that Sorcerers Stone, the first Harry Potter movie based on J.K. Rowlings inexplicably successful book series, is a boring movie. In fact, Rowlings exceptional world, involving young magic makers at a British wizardry prep school, transfers to the screen with a general creativity and charm in the hands of director Chris Columbus. read the full review | |
