| | 1. |  | The Century-America's Time (Boxed Set)
from ABC News
Customer Review:
As for the person who complained that Martin Scorcese called the '80's the "me" decade, that was a popular theme of the time. Maybe you should go back and look at 80's and the literature about it from all kind of sources. Just like the 20's was often refered to as the "Roaring" 20's. 80's was often... more info

| | 3. |  | Mark Twain Tonight
from Kultur Video
Customer Review:
Long before Spalding Gray brought one-man performance monologues into the mainstream, 40-year-old actor Hal Holbrook perfected this wonderful stage persona as an homage to the elderly author of "Huckleberry Finn" and many other treasures of American literature. His resemblance to Twain is uncanny,... more info

from Fox Lorber
Customer Review:
Although this video was shot some time ago, by the famed photographer Mary Ellen Mark, the conditions are as applicable now as they were back when it was made some years ago. This video "Streetwise" portays the life of several street kids in Seattle: "Tiny", the prostitute, who can't be any more... more info

In this documentary, there is a very sorrowful letter from a mother in Ireland to her son, who has emigrated to North America to escape the potato famine, detailing the conditions under which she and her remaining children are (barely)living that ends "For God's sake Jimmy, bring us out."

A wonderful journey through two continents, exploring present-day music of the Roma people. Colourful, exciting, moving, you see the most extraordinary performances in the most inhospitable circumstances.....Tony Gatlif, himself part-Roma, was privileged to be able to join these groups of travellers... more info

| | 9. |  | Survivors of the Holocaust
from Turner Home Ent
Customer Review:
This sad but powerful video is a must-have for any English or History teacher dealing with the Holocaust. I *do* agree with many Holocaust survivors who urge teachers to NOT begin their units with such a film, but to use it as a tool that complements a balanced discussion of this horrific time... more info

| | 10. |  | Nicholas & Alexandra
from A&E Home Video
Customer Review:
I found the film thoroughly enjoyable; the use of rarely seen film/photos and facts as presented were fascinating. The only thing that keeps this from a five star rating is that we needed a little bit more of the politics of the era, to make it all gel into a truly classic documentary.
As it... more info
