great movie great seller was very professional cover and disk movie played very well
will buy more movies from this seller
The Dreams Lost Dreams Found on DVD was beautifully re-created, even the case was made with the originally-styled artwork. The playback was acceptable, considering that it probably had to be re-created from video tape. We are very happy with this! Thank you!
You told me it would work in the United States. The DVD does NOT work in Oregon, USA.
Very happy with my purchase. Will buy from you again. Thank you.
Brilliant. We have been trying to get this movie for ever. I will be getting more. Thank you
Exactly what I ordered. Love the case
The content was supposed to be 4:3 and it was stretched out.
Great story with a fantastic line up of the old school actors to focus on the facts

The image is perfect. Crisp and clear, like the store bought version. Only wish there was a DVD menu. There is play and that's it.
Everything was great ,of course the quality was like back then. I dont like the words across the screen. But overall ok,
Great price for a quality DVD.
A few dvds were skipping when playing. Orca was a bad copy and skipped and was paused for about 3 minutes and skipped a lot of the beginning of the movie. 3 or so of the other DVDs were skipping also. Not happy with the quality of these DVDs. Maybe watch to seeif they are a good copy before sending.
Never got the link to download? Paid for nothing
Happy with service and movie
Absolutely fantastic movie and came really quick and fantastic quality
Good ,would have liked more chuck norris kick arse
But with him being captain he had to tine it down.
Hmm, I don't know what you did to the first disk.
But I had to peel something off the disk and now my Blu-ray player's drawer won't open. I can't watch the second disk until I can get the first disk out. Was this some kind of joke? I'm not laughing...
I always liked the movie "Caroline?" & was pleased to finally find it on dvd!
happy with movie fast delivery as usual good picture
The movies I received three of them had scratches and they skipped scenes of the movies. Not too satisfied with this product. Try to do better with your products.
Great movie happy with purchase glad to do business with you
After a brief prologue made up of film clips of Wayne in his career prime, we meet his cinematic alter ego, John Bernard Books, an aging gunfighter who rides into Carson City, Nevada in the early 1900’s looking for Doc Hostetler (James Stewart), the old sawbones who once saved his life and apparently the only man he trusts. It seems the old guy has prostate cancer and only a few weeks to live, and as Hostetler tells him, it will not be a pleasant death. Books, with no where else to go, checks into Bond Rogers’ (Lauren Bacall) boarding house to live out his final days in peace under the alias “William Hickok.” When Bond’s delinquent son Gillom (Ron Howard, in a nice change-of-pace performance and his last major film appearance before becoming a director) informs her of his true identity, she tries to throw him out but relents when she finds out his condition and agrees to help him die in peace.
Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned as everyone from the town mortician (John Carradine) to an old girlfriend (Sheree North) to a newspaper editor (Richard Lenz) try to take advantage of his situation and turn a fast buck. And then there are several lowlifes (Richard Boone, Hugh O’Brien, Bill McKinney, etc.) who want to seal their reputations by taking him out. Since it’s obvious that no one will leave him alone in his final days, and since he grows fond (to put it mildly) of both Bond and Gillom and wishes them no harm, Books decides to go out in style and on his own terms, and to take a few scumbags along with him.
“The Shootist” is one of those rare films that seems to have gotten better with age. It wasn’t particularly successful with critics or audiences at the time, as they were apparently put off by its leisurely pace and relative lack of action. Typical of the reaction was a TV guide critic (who shall remain nameless), who once derided it and its stars as coming across as “relics of the old West.” (Wasn’t that the point?) However, it is now pretty much considered a classic, and rightfully so, especially when viewed next to some of the lesser films of Wayne’s 1970’s period (“Cahill,” “Rooster Cogburn,” “The Cowboys”). In fact, it is now hard to believe that Wayne was not nominated for an Oscar here, as Books is clearly one of the best performances of his career and definitely eclipses his extravagantly praised, Oscar-winning mugging in “True Grit.” Indeed, “The Shootist” deserves to stand alongside Clint Eastwood’s “The Outlaw Josey Wales” and Oscar-winning “Unforgiven” as the last three great Westerns in cinema history. Everything about it is immaculate–the sets, the costumes, the supporting cast (including Harry Morgan in a terrific cameo as an unsympathetic sheriff who tells Books, “What I put on your grave won’t pass for roses.”), the script, and the chemistry between Wayne and Bacall, teaming up for the first time since “Blood Alley.” And everything is held together by old pro director Donald Siegel who, aside from the late Hal Ashby, may very well be the most underappreciated director in cinema history.
But “The Shootist” is John Wayne’s film all the way. He is simply sensational, and BRAVE, since he apparently knew at the time his cancer was back and that this would probably be his last film. It’s not every film legend who gets to end his/her career on a high note, but Wayne did just that. I just hope he knew it before his death barely three years later.
