Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)

wrong reviews got voted up to #1 and #2

OK, neither of these movies are the deep, moving, cinematic masterpieces that Halicki and Cage are both otherwise known for (are you kidding me?)

This is a car flick, period. My interest is purely my inner 14-year-old's car nuttiness coupled with my (now 36 yr old's) appreciation for awesome Mustangs; and Eleanor is one awesome hunk of steel (either the 1973 mach I OR the 1967 GT 500)

So it ain't "Shakespeare" as another reviewer said, it ain't supposed to be. You don't go to a strip bar looking for fine wine or to Six Flags in search of the ultimate metaphysical meaning of life (or maybe you do, i ain't yer momma)

The reason I'm chiming in here, though, is because the reviews that have been voted to the top are for Halicki's ORIGINAL movie, shot in the early 70's (or, the remastered DVD that came out a few years ago)... NOT THIS MOVIE. THIS MOVIE is the 2000 remake with Nick Cage and Angelina Jolie. Actually, this DVD is the director's cut of that movie released in 2005.

Cage and Jolie would have had a hard time stealing tricycles in 1973, when those reviewers saw the movie they are talking about. The shocking thing is enough idiots rated these wrong reveiws all the way to the top, without anyone catching the fact that they were talking about a different flick.

On an unrelated note: It really bothered me when Stephen Speilberg and Tom Cruise caused that panic in 1938 with their "War of the Worlds" radio play. I bet it really ticked off President Taft and the Roman Empire. November 23, 2008

Dirty Disk

The case and disk looked fine when I got them but when I played the disk it skipped a couple times, I am almost certain the disk was just smudged because there was no visible damage to the disk. I would've liked to receive the item faster but other than that it was a good transaction. November 13, 2008

Very Satisfied

The DVD's I ordered have been great. And you cannot beat the price. Thanks. September 6, 2008

Yes, this movie went out of my memory 60 seconds after I watched it.

Yes, this movie went out of my memory 60 seconds after I watched it. There are nothing interesting in the plot, acting and car scenes. August 25, 2008

The Original

It was a few years after watching the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds before I learned that it was even a remake at all. Watching the original was pretty cool because they had similar scenes. What was even better though was the chase scene with Eleanor, a Mustang Mach I, and it lasted waaaay longer than the one with Nic Cage. If you love cars, then you have to have this movie August 20, 2008
