Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Full Screen Edition)


Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Full Screen Edition)


$3.39


This remastered, pan-and-scan 30th-anniversary edition of that kiddie-car caper is flawed but solid family fare. It retains a quaint charm while some of the songs–including the title tune–are quite hummable. A huge plus is Dick Van Dyke, who is extremely appealing as an eccentric inventor around the turn of the century. With nimble fingers and a unique way of looking at the world, he invents for…

Image Entertainment’s 14-disc presentation of the acclaimed anthology series Thriller is arguably among the most anticipated DVD releases for horror fans and vintage-TV aficionados alike.

Make Mine Music (Disney Gold Classic Collection)


Make Mine Music (Disney Gold Classic Collection)


$7.89


Sometimes referred to as “the Poor Man’s Fantasia,” Make Mine Music (1946) was the first of the “package features” Walt Disney released after World War II. Instead of Bach and Beethoven, the artists illustrated segments set to popular music by Benny Goodman, Dinah Shore, and the Andrews Sisters. Originally set to Debussy’s “Claire de Lune,” “Blue Bayou” remains an atmospheric evocation of the Ever…

King Creole


King Creole


$7.15


Before his handlers convinced him to settle for the safety of a screen franchise, the young Elvis Presley harbored riskier dreams as an actor, not just a star. This 1958 drama, his fourth feature outing, hints at the underlying seriousness of that goal. Presley plays Danny Fisher, a New Orleans teenager struggling to graduate from high school while working in a sleazy French Quarter club to suppor…

King Of The Surf Guitar: The Best Of Dick Dale & His Del-Tones


King Of The Surf Guitar: The Best Of Dick Dale & His Del-Tones


$5.64


This collection rightly concentrates on Dale’s instrumental exploits as the Jimi Hendrix of surf music. Nineteen sixty-one’s “Let’s Go Trippin’” was the first real surf instrumental, although the pyrotechnic fretwork of later Dale records is largely absent. Those divebomb runs, reverb drenchings, and impossibly quick picking displays materialize on the next single, “Shake & Stomp,” then bloom on t…

Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse (“Wolf,” for short) has a big name for such a little mouse. But the name fits. His favorite pastime is listening to Mrs. Honeybee, the lady of the house, play the piano. If only he could sing along to the music! One day, Wolf decides to try — and to his surprise, out of his mouth comes a perfect melody.It’s not long before Wolf is singing everything from “Three Blind Mice” …
