Super fast from ordering it from Australia! This is a real site! Thank you so much!
Received the movie in very good condition
Service was great ,great conversation came early
I am not sure as I haven't watched it , as it says colour on the box but when I started to watch it it was in black and white.
On u tube it starts in black and white then goes to colour.
Because the disc doesn't and remains black and white, I turned it off. Delivery and customer service I can't fault .
I would certainly order from you in the future if I find other film. I have no Idea why it wasn't in colour but your customer service is very good and I can't fault that.
Thank You. Enjoy your day.
Tyvm for dvd.
A really satisfying result; the download worked flawlessly and I have a movie I thought I'd never see again stored for future viewing. Another haqppy customer!
Lovng the Boney episodes but the quality is not great. The picture is very blurry. Very pleased to be able to see the shows from the 1970s
Classic and 1 of the best movies of Liz Taylor
Great film but a copy, not an original dvd, so lacks complete clarity of picture and sound. I saw it on tv recently which was clearer.
I am however happy to get this for my collection as completes the trilogy, as the middle film.
Great DVD, really good quality recording and exactly how I remembered the story.
Terrific quality!! So glad I found this site which includes movies I never thought I’d see again.
Great site for that rare movie you can’t find or is ridiculously expensive. Download is in mp4, no gimmicks, picture quality good with VLC media player, and customer service is helpful.
Great movies. Though one of them doesn't play which I'm waiting to here back about. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars.
Downloaded perfectly. Very happy. Would purchase again from this company. Thank you.
A great sentimentalized biography about the man who brought the magical land of OZ to life!! Great casting as well. It was OZ-Tastic & I Loved it
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
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.
