Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks with a Circus (1960)

I am not the only baby-boomer who wants this on DVD

[10/10 · 19 October 2006]

Michael Eisner seemed to market every Disney film on video then he re-leased them again on DVD. This is one of the films that I love but it just hasn't been released.

Hey, Robert Iger, this movie is special to LOTS of people. Please release it to the new generation of children who have never seen "Toby Tyler."

I saw this movie first in Lake Tahoe, CA, while on vacation with my parents. I am 49 now and I would still watch it many times--if I could only find it.

Classic Disney--family oriented, familiar cast from other Disney films, great storyline.

If it ever comes out on DVD, I will run to buy it as soon as I know about it.

Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring (1971 TV Movie)

I remember liking this movie

I enjoy Sally Field. I grew up watching her on The Flying Nun. I tried to find a copy of this movie but couldn't.

Its worth watching if you can find it. I think baby boomers like me would enjoy it more. This movie does show how Sally Field has successfully maintained her acting career--she was so good in many younger roles such as this hippie-loadie-runaway-middle-class-daughter and is still terrific in whatever rolls she decides to take on now.

My high school years held many of the same experiences of getting high and going to parties and being "cool" or so we thought. I had great parents and a great childhood and I still experimented with drugs. I never ran away either. I don't think this movie gave me more encouragement to use drugs but I could relate to the character choosing to do them. Now I am an insurance agent for the entertainment industry. LOL!!!

I will watch this again when and if I find it.

King Kong (2005)

Loved it.

Peter Jackson is just the perfect director for this film. Now I can say that I have "seen King Kong." The previous versions of this movie were just not exciting to watch. Of course, Peter Jackson now has technology available to make this version possible, however, the way he envisions his films is the way he makes them. Spectacular!!!!

Whenever he makes a movie, I will always pay money to see it.

I loved "Heavenly Creatures" and it was a tiny glimpse of what this man can do and what was to come.

You HAVE to see this in the theater--DO NOT wait for the DVD!!! You will miss the magnitude of this fantastic film.
