¤ 2) DVD DVD Oliver Stone 10 Feature Collection by Warner Home Video. I´m not sure who this collection is for. Die hard Stone fans (like me) already own his classics on DVD. And those new to Stone probably won´t spend [this much]. But just in case we needed it, it´s here. But who put this collection together? It´s got the greats like ´JFK´ ´Born On the Forth of July´ and ´Wallstreet´ but it also has Stone´s follies such as ´U Turn´ ´Heaven and Earth´ ´Talk Radio´ ´The Doors´ and ´Any Given Sunday.´ I believe Roger Ebert explained that when a man puts out gold five days a week he´s entitled to put out lead on the weekend. Why are we reliving the horrors that even the most hardened Stone fan (like me) couldn´t stand? This is clearly an attempt to get fools to spend [this much] by mixing classic films in with bad ones. Stone began his career as a sci-fi screen writer (remember ´Conan the Barbarian´) who did some part time directing (remember ´The Hand´) His first hit came with ´Scareface´ in 1983. By 1986 he had two Oscars under his belt and was the hottest director in Hollywood. Just when you thought things couldn´t get any better, they did. Unlike most directors his films just got better and better. But with his last film in 1999 and his last good film in 1995 Stone is not exactly a big name today. Stone was the defining director of the late 80s and early 90s. Not only was his directing great but his films gave us a hard look at modern America. No one can take that away from him. Here´s the real lowdown.
Platoon
Wallstreet
Born on the Forth of July
JFK
Natural Born Killers
Nixon¤ 3) DVD DVD Oliver Stone 10 Feature Collection by Warner Home Video. Very good looking and full with excellent extras Set. If you like Oliver Stone´s work you´ll be very pleased with this Collection. You´ll forget how much you paid for it, this set deserves it´s own room in your house... Stankey Kubrick´s and Best of Hitchcock Collections are excellent sets also.¤ 4) DVD DVD Oliver Stone 10 Feature Collection by Warner Home Video. This is a great collection. The Oliver Stone Collection it is extremely wonderful. I watched all of them. They all have great quality. I love Wall Street, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, and Any Given Sunday.¤ 5) DVD DVD Oliver Stone 10 Feature Collection by Warner Home Video. This is a great collection of Oliver Stone´s films. Born on the Fourth of July is truly amazing. The Doors is extremely entertaining. Natural Born Killers is absolutely insane. Any Given Sunday was definately edge of your seat. JFK and Nixon is totally interesting. But I was dissapointed in a lot of things. U-Turn and Talk Radio should not have been in the collection. They are good movies but do not deserve to be in a collection. I am mostly dissapointed that the one of the greatest war movies ever, Platoon, did not make collection. What were they thinking? It is brillantly acted, has a great story, and is captivating. Not to mention it won best picture. This is one of if not the best Oliver Stone picture he ever made. But all around, the collection is great. It is worth the money and the sound and picture quality is excellent.¤ 6) DVD DVD Oliver Stone 10 Feature Collection by Warner Home Video.

While this monumental retrospective of Oliver Stone´s directorial career doesn´t include Salvador or Platoon--Stone´s early, acknowledged masterpieces of history and remembrance--it certainly sheds light on the more controversial arc of his work ever since. Beginning with 1987´s Wall Street, Stone´s barbed tragedy about corporate raiders and blinding greed during the Reagan years, this cinematic 10-pack represents a curious odyssey of generational touchstones, outright obsessions, and feverish experimentation. The minor, 1988 Talk Radio, for instance, introduced Stone´s then-evolving critique of inflamed media in a society of hapless onlookers. But it was 1994´s Natural Born Killers that exploded the theme in a wildly ambitious farce concerning two lovers who defy manufactured perceptions by becoming notorious murderers. Killers pushes the limits of screen violence, visual literacy, and the mixed-media technique (juggling film stocks, incorporating video, etc.) that Stone introduced in JFK. If the result is cold and forced, it´s also brazen. Most significant is the way this collection underscores Stone´s drive to fuse historical drama with lingering emotions about the past. Stone, a Vietnam War veteran, revisits that haunting debacle here in the masterful Born on the Fourth of July and the moving Heaven & Earth. Yet some of his most famous efforts still draw heaps of scorn for narrative hubris and factual recklessness. (Does anyone really believe John F. Kennedy was assassinated during a Lyndon Johnson coup d´état?) But time is on Stone´s side. Eventually, JFK, The Doors, and Nixon will be seen not as a failed objective history, but as the experience of a tumultuous era in the imagination of a man who lived through it all and can´t shake it off. The collection concludes with the flawed contemporary noir U Turn and the unexpectedly entertaining football saga Any Given Sunday. Stone bided his time following this extraordinary body of work, until the humanitarian relief drama Beyond Borders (not included) found the director on familiar footing. As Stone´s legacy continues to grow, there is a remarkable career here to revisit with these 10 films. --Tom Keogh¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
