So much better than I expected., Jan 22 2004

I got this DVD because my family was wanting to see the movie. I am not interested much in Horse Racing and the story of Seabiscuit just didn't grab me.

I am so glad we got the movie. This is wonderful. It's a tad on the sappy side as far as the actual story telling goes, but that doesn't interfere at all with the movie at all. The performances by all characters is superb and the photograph is awesome. The director has some very interesting style when it comes to explaining plot lines just with the camera.

Fine set for a great cult movie., April 19 2003

I remember the movie when it hit the screen. I enjoyed every minute of the offbeat cult classic. I whilsted the tune for weeks.

You can read synopis' of the movie and get any details you like. I will focus on this DVD pack. Criterion Collections are awesome. If you are not familiar with them, they are simply the best. The transfer to DVD is perfect. The movie plays flawlessly. The extras in the pack make this one of the best DVDs in my collection.

You get the Full Version, as well as the shorter, so called "Happy Ending" version. Plus commentaries and bonus material. Including Documentaries and commenatry from Terry Gilliam.

Super. I fear to mention Terry Gilliam… Read more
