A full color two-foot by three-foot version of the famous 1960 photograph showing the entire Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford) standing in front of, and being featured on, the Sands Hotel marquee on a bright morning in Las Vegas during the filming of the original OCEAN'S ELEVEN. It's a classic, pallie!

Ok...I am 17 years old and a football player who thinks "Dino" has it goin on! He is a classic and the songs are of old, but cool

I was happy with my purchase, there was a slight crack in the case but besides that it was fine. Shipping was fast and on time.

I wish I was around when Dino was still a younger man!! For all Italians / Sicilians this is the album to buy, Dino at his best!!

Dean in my eyes has always been the better performer out of the rat pack. I still don't understand why they let Peter Lawford in, it had to of been the Kennedy lure. This is a great CD and has all the best songs by Dean Martin, it is one on my favorites. I highly recommend this CD.

Bought this CD for my wife, however we bith are Dino fans. Recording is very good. Dino fans will LOVE.

After seeing "Billy" on Broadway May, 09, I was so inspired with the story, the drive of the music, the sets, the exquisite music, and the performance of Billy, I HAD to buy the CD of the original broadway cast, (Amazon.com had it!) AND the piano music, (medium ability)which by the way, was written in tune with the CD so I could play along with the songs. I even ended up buying another CD for a friend. The whole experience was over the top---and while some said they would never return because the dialogue was difficult to understand - I would see it everyday if I could. I watched the Tony Awards and was so puffed up when I saw all 3 Billys approach the stage. It was FABULOUS...Elton John really showed his genius. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

Great show! Great Music! Great price Amazon! Why didn't make an original BROADWAY Cast album?

A great new album from a great new show. This will be a classic!

the music is the best. I was disappointed that the movie did not include the music. I saw the play on Broadway and the music...along with the story...is BEAUTIFUL

This reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera - it released two versions on CD. One a short version of all the songs from the Broadway show; and a second two-disc version which had dialogue, quiet segue ways, and more. The latter is this CD. I absolutely loved Billy Elliot on Broadway, but find myself getting bored during some of the long drawn out songs (Solidarity... great song, but on CD we're not looking at anything so it really needs to be shortened here. Expressing Yourself - you can even hear them tap dancing (nice actually)) This CD should be considered the long version. I wish there were a shorter version. Skip through the extended songs, quiet talking, and thinking scenes to get to the great songs and you'll love this CD.

Excellent CD! It has all the songs I wanted by Dean Martin and the price was unbelievable! I'd heard and searched for the song, "Sway" used in a car commercial and found it on this CD. If you like Dino, you will like this CD with all his all-time favorites.

Dean Martin All Time Greatest Hits is a great value for the music that you're getting. A must for any fan of the Rat Pack.

Dino is great as usual. The CD fades in and out so you always need to tune the volume.

THIS WAS THE BEST COMPILATION OF DEAN MARTIN FOR YEARS. ITS THE BEST TO START OUT WITH IF YOU ARE TRYING TO EASE INTO DEANS MUSIC.THIS IS SOOOO GOOD IT SHOWS WHY ONLY CROSBY COULD EQUAL THAT COOL AND EVERYDAY LOVE WE ALL HAD FOR DINO.HOW I MISS SEEING HIM ON TV.GET IT AND ENJOY AND KEEP FOREVER.

GREAT CD, and a wonderful way to re-experience music when it was at its best. I'm just sorry that "Everybody Loves Somebody..." was not included on this "Greatest Hits" collection. Otherwise, it's PERFECT.

Another instant classic from Steven Spielberg, this spectacular translation of Michael Crichton's famous novel entertains with constant, enduring bouts of excitement and a full plate of terrorizing sequences as memorable as they are awe-inspiring. A forewarning of the possible cataclysmic effects of meddling with biology and genetics, Jurassic Park exercises one of the most engaging, smartly-conceived plots in Hollywood history--simple, yet beyond the realm of most peoples' imaginations. Spielberg's use of special effects (in particular, animatronics) is absolutely perfect--the dinosaurs are more realistic than anything similar that anyone's ever seen. This film's cast is pleasant and applicable, and its sound effects rival its visuals, making it one of the most technically flawless films of all time. For any film aficionado, this is an absolute essential piece of any DVD collection.

Excellent DVD. Family loves it, especially our 3 year old son. Looks good on all our tv's and in the car!!!

On a remote island, a wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric DNA. Before opening the attraction to the public, he invites a top paleontologist, a paleobotanist, a mathematician/theorist, and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park, and help calm anxious investors. However, their park visit is anything but tranquil as the park's security system breaks down, the prehistoric creatures break out, and the excitement builds to surprising results. The special effects are still good today, but they were revolutionary for back in 1993. The acting is good, and the ensemble cast is great. All of the action sequences are perfectly executed, creating plenty of suspense and tension. Steven Speilberg will take you to places in this movie that no one else ever will. I highly recommend Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park, the movie; a timelessly masterful work from Steven Spielberg. My copy from Amazon.com; a perfectly flawless one. I will continue to search Amazon for all the movies I am inclined to forever love. Thank you Amazon; I'm happy that you are here. Adisa Achaki.

Steven Speilberg dose it again. he directed a terrific movie that know one will forget. this has to be his best movie since e.t. i love this movie and so will you. recommend it for everyone

If the disaster film genre of the 1970s had an actual starting point, it would arguably have to be with the 1970 film AIRPORT. Based on Arthur Hailey's best-selling 1968 novel of the same name, and adapted to the screen by director George Seaton, who also did the 1947 Christmas classic MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, it not only spawned three sequels of its own, but it also led to the massive box office successes (and critical ulcers) of films like THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, EARTHQUAKE, and THE TOWERING INFERNO. The setting for AIRPORT is Lincoln International Airport in Chicago on a snowbound winter night. Burt Lancaster portrays the airport's general manager who, on this night, is beset by any number of minor crises: a brother-in-law (Dean Martin) who needles him about the way he runs the place; a jet stuck in the snow out on the tarmac because its pilot cut the taxiway short; an elderly stowaway (Helen Hayes) causing havoc for security; and problems at home with a wife (Dana Wynter) who gets into an argument over his being far more obsessed with his job than with his home life. He somehow manages to keep it together, however, thanks to the help of a very reliable staff, including tough-as-nail mechanic Joe Patroni (George Kennedy), who helps to get that stuck 747 out of the snow so that a vital runway isn't clogged for too long (with that runway being closed, jets are forced to take off on a runway right in the path of homes whose owners have fiercely complained about the noise). This night, however, he is facing another, far more serious crisis. A mentally unstable and very depressed man (Van Heflin) has managed to get on a flight from Chicago to Rome being piloted by Martin and Nelson; and in his suitcase, the only one he brings onboard (and keeps very close to him), is a bomb. Alerted to this as the flight is passing through the airspace monitored from Cleveland, they try to turn the plane around and head back to Chicago while at the same time trying to find a way to disarm Heflin without frightening any of the passengers. That, however, doesn't go quite as planned; and the end result is a harrowing drive towards a highly dramatic climax. AIRPORT was clearly never meant to be anything other than old-fashioned Hollywood entertainment (and it was indeed old-fashioned by Hollywood standards of 1970), thanks in no small part to Hayes' dotty performance as the elderly stowaway (which won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar); and it indeed works that way, like it or not. The performances by Lancaster, Martin, Kennedy, and Hayes are all what you'd expect from professionals like them; and the cast includes Jacqueline Bisset (as Martin's love interest), Larry Gates, Maureen Stapleton, Jean Seberg, Lloyd Nolan, Barbara Hale, and Whit Bissell. Newman's score (his last; he passed away only a few weeks before the film's release) is also quite good and appropriate, and got nominated for both an Oscar and Grammy, posthumously. While a lot of the clichés introduced in this film and its three subsequent sequels would nauseate critics and eventually lead to all of them being sent up in the 1980 comedy blockbuster AIRPLANE!, AIRPORT nevertheless moves at a fairly good clip, given that it's close to 140 minutes in length and its special effects work is painfully dated in the 21st century age of CGI. It also helps that some of the concerns raised in this movie, which came true in light of 9/11, have somehow managed to keep this film relatively relevant, which is saying something, given how many Hollywood films come and go every year.

I think the knock on Disaster Films, besides the fact they are action-oriented plots with minimal character development, is that most of them were churned out during the early 1970s, a Golden Era of Hollywood history (Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'N' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood). When some of the industry's greatest directors were achieving all-time artistic highs with "The Godfather," "The Taxi Driver" and "Jaws," next door the older generation (over 30) was going through the motions with films like "Airport" and its sequels (Airport Terminal Pack (Airport/Airport '75/Airport '77/Airport '79 - The Concord). "Airport" made a staggering amount of money, the No. 1 box office success the year it was released, sparking a wave of equally profitable Disaster epics for several years (including "The Towering Inferno (Special Edition)," the box office king of Disaster Films). Watching "Airport" today, with its seasoned stars bouncing to the old-time movie score of Alfred Newman (Airport: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) on creaky sets probably left over from "From the Terrace," is akin to stepping back into the 1950s. The year 1970 was a time of incredible social upheaval, and fans could buy a movie ticket and remember a more innocent era (the film was rated G). "Airport" is an artistic tribute to bygone decades, with recognizable faces such as Van Heflin, Helen Hayes, Lloyd Nolan, Dana Wynter and, to a lessor extent, Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin, going through the machinations of the plot (based on the Arthur Hailey bestseller Airport, perfect for a pool-side read), relying on their historical reps to fill in the gaps. It's an enormous tribute to an antique age. The special effects, tame by today's standards, are still quite good. And the concluding moments, with Heflin hugging a suitcase bomb and co-pilot Gary Collins staring at a growing crack at the rear of the airplane, are terrifying. But the tension-filled screams and terror of the closing dramatics are not really what remains in memory after viewing "Airport." What you remember is George Kennedy as Joe Patroni. Kennedy, an underrated actor at the peak of popularity in 1970 following his Oscar win for "Cool Hand Luke (Deluxe Edition)," steals the show. His performance as Patroni, a cigar-chomping bad-ass who probably totes a lunch pail to work everyday, is electric. He would star as Joe throughout the "Airport" series, the lone connecting thread during the sequels. I have always loved the famous scene where he angrily guns the airliner through the snow to clear the runway, a moment likely producing audience applause during it's initial run. And the final scene, when Kennedy lumbers past the suits and slaps the side of the airplane with a clipboard, mumbling proud praise to the damaged craft, ends "Airport" on a perfect note. I've seen actors attempt the tough-guy-blue-collar persona before, usually failing miserably. None did it better than Kennedy in the 1970s. Look no further than his terrific performance when trying to decipher why "Airport" made such an incredible fortune. He's a working class stud, with little time for meetings, brass or pleasantries. His character, comforting to 1970's audiences, harkens back to the era of WW II when working class men symbolically rolled up their sleeves to get the job done in Europe, a very different war from what was going on in Vietnam at the time. Kennedy's Patroni symbolized a venerable American ideal which exists to this day. During the great frustrations of the Nixon/Vietnam age (Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Man), it was inspiring. At times of personal and professional crisis, we would all like to face our fears in Patroni fashion, spitting into its eye and throwing the rule book into the nearest wastebasket. One could argue that independents like Patroni, crucial to any working team, have slowly and inexorably been eroded into extinction by the growing culture of corporate America, symbolized (even at this time) by the educated suits standing zombie-like in the hangar as Patroni strolls past them to get back to work. Today, "Airport" indeed reminds audiences of a bygone era, but not for the reasons you would think. In a hysterical world, Kennedy's Patroni is a touchstone.

This 1970 movie really captures the early 70's, in fashion, hair styles, and travel in a pre-hightened airport security world. This is a star-studded cast of movie veterans, many of whom are no longer with us. It is fun to look back at the styles and I found the plot surprisingly tense and action packed.

Had to be pulled by the ear and dragged into Radio City Music Hall in NYC by my mother to see this one in 1970. And I am so thankful that she did as AIRPORT proved to be a thoroughly engaging and entertaining production with an all-star cast. Among the stars were five Oscar winners---Burt Lancaster [ELMER GANTRY, 1960], Van Heflin [JOHNNY EAGER, 1942], Helen Hayes [THE SIN OF MADELON CLAUDET, 1931], George Kennedy [COOL HAND LUKE, 1967] and Maureen Stapleton [REDS, 1981]. The plot centers around a despondent, mentally unstable Joe who can't keep a job and provide for his family and decides to board a plane with a bomb to do the unthinkable so that his beloved but unwitting wife can collect the insurance money. In the meantime Burt Lancaster is the General Manager of the snowbound "AIRPORT" whose only safe and useable runway is blocked by a Jet stuck in the snow. He is being bombarded from all sides---by his neglected wife who doesn't get to see her interminably busy husband enough, by local politicians who want his airport closed due to complaints of noise pollution and even by colleague pilots and co-workers who question his decisions and probably sit in wait for him to make the gaffe that will send him to the gallows. The beautiful Jean Seberg plays his co-worker girlfriend who is always by his side. The passengers on the plane are fun characterizations and include the annoyingly intrusive loudmouth who stirs the pot, the perturbingly know-it-all teen, the 'Doc', the Priest, the nuns---many spoofed in the wonderfully delicious comedy classic, AIRPLANE [1980]. Dean Martin at first appeared miscast as the doomed jet's Captain but, being the fine actor that he is, was able to pull it off. He is also Lancaster's brother-in-law in the movie but is having a relationship with one of his stewardesses played by the ethereal British actress Jacqueline Bisset. There is some frank talk about abortion, its consequences and alternatives after she discovers that she is carrying his child. The terse and melancholic Heflin is terrific as the bomber aka "Guerrero, D.O.". His disappointed but always supportive spouse is played by Maureen Stapleton who should have won the best female supporting actress Oscar over Hayes for her short but wonderfully sensitive and poignant portrayal. Their talk in the Diner before his departure was evocative. Hayes was cute and endearing as the septuagenarian flimflam artist and stowaway. George Kennedy is a gas as Joe Patroni the ultra-experienced blue-collar 707 expert who is called upon to get the stuck-in-the-snow Jet out of the way so that the last runway, and the Airport, can remain open. This becomes an exigency when, after the bomber succeeds, that runway is the only hope for the disabled jet. Kennedy's riotous exchange with the pilots not willing to press the pedal to the metal and thrust the stuck jet out of the snow in fear that they will damage the structure is memorable and his last-chance personal 'let-it-all-hang-out' try is a blast. Hey, Joe Patroni is always welcomed in my house. Too bad that recollections of this excellent film have been blurred by the subsequent awful Airport sequeals and a slew of superficial disaster flicks over the years. This, the original AIRPORT, had it all: drama, romance, comedy, suspense...etc...truly great entertainment. Thanks to THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY [1954] for the inspiration. Congrats to Goodtimes Video for an excellent transfer [I purchased the full screen edition].

This movie is a classic and I am happy to add it to my collection of aviation movies. I definitely recommend it for aviation buffs.

"Cool as Ice" is the wonderfully bad cinematic masterpiece--of Vanilla Ice,the white rapper who preceded Marky Mark AND Eminem. It's got Naomi Campbell (briefly) and a delightfully cheesy plotline. Vanilla Ice stars as a rapper--of course--who has an amazing flying motorcycle and falls for a suburban teen whose father disapproves. The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese--but this movie was made for the music,wasn't it? "Cool as Ice" is so bad,it's classic.

Cool as Ice was a good movie. There is not much to the show. The only thing that would be interesting is if you liked Vanilla Ice the rapper when he was popular. It's fun for the different things that made that time popular. Vanilla Ice does some rap in the movie so if you like that I definitely recommend.

Seriously though... Vanilla Ice has the acting skills of a piece of driftwood. Oh man, this movie is terrible. It's so terrible that I found myself cracking up the majority of the time. It's so mind-numbingly bad that I actually kinda liked watching it. But I just couldn't bring myself to give this crapfest a four or five star rating, no matter how many times I laughed at it. It's basically Vanilla Ice trying to be a neon-clad James Dean with fantastic pickup lines such as, "Drop that zero and get with a hero." Do I really need to say anything about that one? Didn't think so. My favorite scene of the movie would probably be the one where he magically jumps his motorcycle over a fence without a ramp. Who needs physics? Not Ice. So if you're bored (and preferably drunk and/or high), pop this cheesefest in your old VCR.

With a script from the dream team of Akira Kourisawia and Stanley Kubrick, the pressure was all on the shoulders of director David Kellog. Coming through like a bull in a china shop, Kellog delivers a modern answer to Bergman's "Seventh Seal" that not only uppes the ante, but says, "I'm all in." Let us not forget the jacket. With it's leather stiched cries of passion it is reminicent of a classically trained Adler student, it delivers a tour de force in it's delivery of lines like "Sex me up!" ""Down by law" "and "Faith is a torment. It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call." "Cool As Ice" also employs a number from Pulp Fiction, using the book of Leviticus 3:14 to drop wisdom on us with the quote "Drop that zero and get with the hero." Method to the end, Ice still resides in the Southern California community that this harrowing documentary was shot in, battling injustice and intolerance with his mighty yellow motorcycle.

Always being a closet vanilla ice fan, I had this movie along time ago and like everyone else I LOVE IT! I have to say the reviews here made me laugh so hard I was crying, it was so great, and made me remeber how crazy stupid and funny this movie is. I know it's lame, but it's the best kind of lame, not taking itself serious, and since Rob is huge now from Surreal Life and the SL games, he is awesome as a heavy metel singer! ICE ICE BABY, TOO COLD, TOO COLD!! anyways yes this movie has the best lines, drop that zero, all of them, priceless!!! I WOULD PAY $1000 BUCKS FOR THIS MOVIE! Just joking, but still want to own this, also if looks could kill with richard greico was as awesome as this movie, hard to find that one as well. Anyways, COOL AS ICE RULES!
