5 stars Beautiful
This is a beautifully crafted movie with a particularly poignant and moving musical score. The panoramic winter scenes are breathtaking and moreover, convey the frigid, essentially limitless expanse of Russia. In my opinion, this is one of the 5 or so best movies ever made.

5 stars A TRUE CLASSIC
they don't make movies like this anymore, this is the most amazingly beautiful adventure and love story ever filmed, it is truly an epic, a classic, and one of the greatest works of art of the 20th century, The reason to own this dvd is simple, the quality of the video transfer is so great, its hard to believe this movie is 36 years old!!! and as for extras? this is one of the best making of documentaries i have ever seen, as far as dvd's go, if you are a serious film buff, this belongs in your collection, period. in short, this is a four star movie, and a four star dvd, anyone who loved "gone with the wind" , will also love "doctor zhivago", as well. this dvd gets my highest rating, very well done, excellent.

DVD $10.35  4 stars Top 100
Based on a series of comics by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb, this X-rated animated film brings a cynical eye to the idealism of the 1960s. It's a world where black people are crows, cops are pigs, rabbis are lions, and cats--like New York University student Fritz (voiced by Skip Hinnant)--are substituted for guilt-ridden white guys who want to be poets but mainly smoke pot and engage in group sex. After a drug bust by a couple of bumbling pigs makes him an outlaw, Fritz sets fire to his NYU dorm and hits the road in search of self-discovery. The crazy cat steals a car, starts a race riot in Harlem, and ends up stuck outside San Francisco with a group of sadistic revolutionaries led by a junkie biker rabbit. Throughout these adventures, Fritz's pot-addled self-righteousness gradually gives way to a deeper ...
