arrived in good condition. fast delivery. as ordered. happy with purchase
Just watched this dvd which we enjoyed. Good quality dvd.
I received this DVD with no sound. I contacted Rare and Collectibles about this issue. I sent and resent an email numerous times and I have been totally ignored. I do not recommend this company. Rating is very poor!
I found the DVD in perfect condition
This is a very good copy of the original version of The Day The Earth Stood Still which was well ahead of its time. The message is even more valid today than then. I urge everyone to watch this movie and hopefully it will change the world.
Everything was great with purchasing & receiving dvd thank you
The DVD was in perfect condition. I was very happy with my purchase and found it playedvery well
Online delivery was excellent, however the movie quality was very low,360p or less.
Great DVD as expected !

Dvd is in excellent condition unfortunately I only received one and I paid for 2 . The package said 2 but only one DVD was included
I am thrilled to have gotten this movie very efficient fast service from this company. This movie is probably one of the closest to my hearts and my three sisters.Thank you so very much!
Received the DVD in good condition, and the quality of the movie was good! Will purchase more rare title movies in the future.
Difficult to find, worked great and priced right.
Great movie, have tried for a while to get a copy at a reasonable price
While war raged in England, expatriates in Kenya pursued a decadent lifestyle based on sex and booze. The ultimate outcome for the most aggressive player in this game was unexpected and completely shocking to the colonial swingers.
I had recorded the movie on to VHS when it was on tv many years ago then later to DVD from my VHS when the technology became available. The VHS recording was not that good so I appreciate the opportunity to purchase an excellent copy on DVD.
I am giving one star because I never received the DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great seller. Stumbled upon them by accident. Will steer away from ebay and more towards Rare and Collectible. Top shelf seller.
As far as the series goes. simply astounding. In the top three "westerns" I have ever seen. It will take you a bit to believe who you are seeing is Jeff Daniels. I can't recommend the series enough.
Alek, a former boxer from the Soviet Union (Klaus Maria Brandauer) arrives in the United States to start a new life. He witnesses two boxers, Timmy (Adrian Pasdar) and Roland (Wesley Snipes) participate in the rough sport of illegal boxing. The two young men have obvious strength with the arrogant attitudes to match, and Alek sees that they both have potential to become champion boxers. After Timmy witnesses Alek get the better of Roland during a drunken dark alley brawl, Timmy asks Alek to be his coach, as he knows that his style could use some refining.
Alek accepts, and puts Timmy through a tough training regime. Timmy gets angry, after his coach walks out in the middle of their first training session, resulting in Timmy screaming four letter words at Alek (a memorable scene). Afterwards, when things have cooled down, the young man feels contrite. A number of things happen (one of them being the Soviet boxing team visiting the US for a post cold war smack down) and Alek takes on Roland as a protégé (much to Timmy’s chagrin, since he and Roland had bad blood between them). Under Alek’s wing, the two kids learn discipline and excel at boxing. The entire film proceeds in a logical order, culminating in a Rocky-style bout between Timmy and the Soviet champ. Streets of Gold features Pasdar and Snipes in their early twenties (when they were unknowns), and it’s easy to see that way back then, they had the talent and the masculine looks to achieve super stardom. The film is worth watching, just to see Pasdar attempt to do a Russian folk dance. I have to give him points for trying! The veteran actor Brandauer is just as brilliant as the two young lead actors, as the fiery yet Yoda-like mentor. There are a few genuine laugh-out-loud moments in this film. I won’t give anything away, since you have to see them for yourself. I can’t finish the review without mentioning the fashion. The 1980s had featured colourful clothes by today’s standards, and I must warn you that there is plenty of typical 80s fashion in this film (as you’d expect). Baby Boomers and early Gen X’s will feel nostalgic while watching this, while late Gen X’s and Gen Y’s will be silently thankful that they didn’t have to wear such outlandish clothing. I’m in Generation Y, BTW. The only criticism that I can give, as other reviews have discussed, is that didn’t explore the characters as deeply as I would have liked. For example, we don’t get an in depth look at Timmy and Roland’s troubled childhoods. Perhaps a flashback could have been appropriate. However, I’m just nitpicking, since what has been presented in this 89 minute film is excellent. If you are a fan of Pasdar or Snipes, or of boxing/80s sports films, Streets of Gold is a must see film.
