A powerful love story and heart-wrenching biopic. The birth of a superstar. Jennifer Lopez's groundbreaking performance headlines this vibrant film. The story of the singer whose life tragically ended just as she was reaching her dreams. Pulsating with Selena's voice on the soundtrack, the film recreates the life of a little girl who dreamed big and whose concerts became electrifying events. In the title role, Jennifer Lopez is herself electrifying. Newly re-mastered, this 2-disc Special Edition includes the never-before-released Extended/Director's Cut version, new interviews with Selena's family and Jennifer Lopez and clips from Selena's last performance!
A celebration of the life of Tejano princess Selena Quintanilla Perez, the rising star who was gunned down by the president of her own fan club in 1995. Amid the racial tensions and economic hardships of 1980's south Texas, the daughter of a Mexican immigrant (himself a failed doo-wop singer) grow up to be a sensation in the blossoming Tejano scene before meeting a tragic end. Light on insight, this biopic revels rather in Selena's on-stage achievements. Selena's father is credited as an executive producer to this film.

OUTSTANDING I have been a Selena fan for years and this DVD is a great addition to a collection or to those just discovering Selena! Her family and Warner Bros. did an amazing job with this 10th Ann. special. It has interviews with all of the actors and her family members. It is a great way to learn more about Selena. Another reason to buy this DVD is because it has deleted scenes and an extended version of the film. I belive that everyone should buy this DVD! SELENA FOREVER..

Selena/Jennifer Lopez - Wow! Selena was amazing artist. Her death was so unfair. Jennifer Lopez is great singer/actress. She showed real Selena, her acting was stunning (Oscar level) Submitted by Irina (Ternopil, Ukraine) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Selena's story lives on & Jennifer Lopez's finest moment Selena is an amazing, moving, & enjoyable movie for not just fans of Selena but for the whole family.
It delivers the true story of Selena's life with the help of the fantastic cast. Edward James Olmos plays Mr. Quintanilla, Constance Marie plays Mrs. Quintanilla, & in the title role Jennifer Lopez plays Selena with real heart. All the cast deliver great & convincing performances in their roles.
There is no dought that this is Jennifer Lopez's finest moment in her acting career, she played Selena with such heart, warmth & joyfulness that it's like Selena & Jennifer came together during this movie. The music sounds really great during the concert scenes & Jennifer Lopez captures Selena's mannerisms on spot & at times you're mind can play tricks on you with which one is Selena.
It's a shame that Selena's beautiful life 7 amazing music career ended so wrongly.
Overall This movie is an amazing, uplifting, & wonderful & sad story
that truely show's the american dream.
SELENA VIVE!!!

Fantastic! Such a sad story! I fell in love with Selena because this movie portrayed her to be the most beautiful, talented and successful latino performer. I envy her life as someone who struggled in her lifehood to become what she has became! I enjoyed this movie very much and will watch it over and over again! Congradulations to Jennifer Lopez as she did a superb job in her performance as Selena! Submitted by Scott - Magoo7985 (Avon, Mass) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
