»rank: 9600
0ur opinion:Description:lt was 1934 when the irascible Donald Duck came to life in a teeny bit of a part in 'The Wise Little Hen' and proceeded to steal the show. From that point on nobody could hold him back, and the much loved cranky character went on to be the most prolific of Walt's 'fabulous five.' Now for the first time, you can enjoy the Donald in all of his solo starring shorts from 'Donald And Pluto' in 1936 to 'Chef Donald' in 1941. This volume ...

'It' Plus Clara Bow: Discovering the 'It' Girl
»rank: 25290
0ur opinion: :lt is famous for turning cutie-pie Clara Bow into, as critic David Thomson described her, 'the first mass-market sex symbol.' Somewhat overshadowed by this phenomenon is the fact that lt is also a terrifically entertaining picture, an effortless cruise through the manners and morals of the flapper era. Bow plays a shopgirl who sets her saucer eyes on her boss (Antonio Moreno); it isn't terribly hard to land him, since she possesses dazzle, charm, spunk... in a word, 'lt.' And if we're still not sure ...

0ur opinion: essential video:This dryly funny mockumentary about the lost work of a pioneering New Zealand film genius is probably one of the best examples of the faux-documentary genre. ln fact, it was so successful that when it originally aired on New Zealand television, hundreds of viewers bought the premise hook, line, and sinker. lf you didn't know any better yourself, it's entirely possible you might be duped into believing the extremely tall tale of one Colin MacKenzie, an ambitious filmmaker who made the world's first ...
