Exquisitely written, Beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted.

OMG!!!!!!!!! I'm computer challengened, althought I have gone to lots and lots of sites looking for what you just gave me in the blink of an eye!!! Thank you ever-so!!!!!! Do you have any idea how to get a copy of this movie if it isn't out on VHS or DVD?
IMDb's portal gobbles up everything available about a certain movie, TV show or movie as well as anything related to film. There's unlikely any way you can get a prerecorded version of the production. I'd keeping checking back to IMDb and see if there is a reissue on DVD. Generally a releasing distributor will drop the VHS not that long before they release the DVD. It's only a matter of time. VHS is on the edge of being obsolete anyway -- with the new DMR's which record onto a harddrive and DVD's and at far superior quality to even Super VHS, the death knell on tape has sounded.
BTW, a Google search brought up a number of hits on the production including IMDb:
George C. Scott's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
The Wizard of OZ Zoooo.
It's so universal, It has all the artforms contained within one great epic. It,s truely in our hearts and soul. We are all dorothies in search of our Kansas.
I've likely seen "Wizard" more than two hundred times and mainly for the joy of showing the film to those who haven't seen it or haven't seen it in years. Ditto "Fantasia" and "The Lion King" as far as Disney goes. Although my favorite Disney (except for "Finding Nemo") is "Three Caballeros."
My best movie of all time is Blues Brothers, it has all I need in a movie-- great music, car chases, wit, great music, good dialogue ( our groove could turn goats piss into gasoline), no sex!, great music, and so on... It's a musical, really!
Hard to identify the best of all, however some memorable films in select categories for me are;
Silent films -
Metropolis
Sunrise
Pandora's Box
Foreign Films
La Grand Illusion
O Cangacheiro
Black Orpheus (Orpheo do Carnival)
Rashomon
Ran
Le Rouge et Noir
Walkabout
Films I never tire of seeing
The Wind and the Lion
Wuthering Heights
Vertigo
Casablanca
Chinatown
High Noon
The Third Man
Well, George, looks like our taste in films is certainly sympatico.
I'll bet Mel hopes we argue about every film he makes! His own rationale has no teeth -- you might say he's "The Man With No Floss."
His movies are better than your puns !
You're right -- at least I think so.
I don't care what you say, the best comedy of all time is...
Well the best comedy of all time MUST me Bedazzled (Elizabeth Hurley, Brendan Fraser, Frances O'Connor, Orlando Jones). I love that movie! When I was home sick for a week I watched it 4 times.
If you want a good drama, Whale Rider would be my favorite. It is amazing! The actors are perfect for their parts, and it is based on an old story (one of the kinds that mothers would tell to their children before they went to bed at night).
If you want a mix, then you should see Big Fish. The one thing I can say to describe it is hilarious! It also has a great plot and wonderful music (nominated for an Oscar this year.)
And those are my favorite movies of all time!!
