Legends of the Fall (Special Edition) $3.44 A box-office hit when released in 1994, this sprawling, frequently overwrought familial melodrama may get sillier as its plot progresses, but it’s the kind of lusty, character-based epic that Hollywood should attempt more often. It’s also an unabashedly flattering star vehicle for Brad Pitt as Tristan–the rebellious middle son of a fiercely independent Montana rancher and military veteran (Anthon… |

Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire $4.04 Not every movie can survive the kind of hype–multiple awards at Sundance and other festivals, rapturous reviews, nominated for six Academy Awards and winner of two, for Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay–that greeted the release of Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire, but this extraordinary piece of work is more than up to the task. What’s particularly notable about the film… |

A Place in the Sun $6.29 George Stevens won an Oscar for his 1951 adaptation of Theodore Dreiser’s novel An American Tragedy, though the film seems a little overwrought today and even self-parodying at times. Still, Montgomery Clift’s performance as a poor lad so drawn to a rich, beautiful girl (Elizabeth Taylor) that he contemplates killing his lower-class fiancée (Shelley Winters) is powerful, sympathetic, and mesmeriz… |

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius $3.75 Dave Eggers is a terrifically talented writer; don’t hold his cleverness against him. What to make of a book called A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius: Based on a True Story? For starters, there’s a good bit of staggering genius before you even get to the true story, including a preface, a list of “Rules and Suggestions for Enjoyment of This Book,” and a 20-page acknowledgements sect… |

A Moveable Feast $7.23 In the preface to A Moveable Feast, Hemingway remarks casually that “if the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as fiction”–and, indeed, fact or fiction, it doesn’t matter, for his slim memoir of Paris in the 1920s is as enchanting as anything made up and has become the stuff of legend. Paris in the ’20s! Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley, lived happily on $5 a day and still had mon… |

American Beauty [VHS] $1.20 From its first gliding aerial shot of a generic suburban street, American Beauty moves with a mesmerizing confidence and acuity epitomized by Kevin Spacey’s calm narration. Spacey is Lester Burnham, a harried Everyman whose midlife awakening is the spine of the story, and his very first lines hook us with their teasing fatalism–like Sunset Boulevard’s Joe Gillis, Burnham tells us his story from b… |
