A Star Is Born (DVD, 2005)

This movie is awesome. It is a bittersweet romance of a rising star and a fading rock star. The love story is intense. Their struggles are personal and individual and hen as a couple the have problems too. The bathtub scene is one of the best. The music makes the movie--it won Academy Awards.

Generally speaking, remakes suck. This is the 3rd movie titled "A Star Is Born" and the second remake. The original, made in 1937 was a good movie. The first remake, staring Judy Garland, was So-So and really not as good as the first movie wise, but did have some good songs in it. When this remake came out I was not expecting much, but having seen the first 2, felt I had to give it a try. Seldom am I so pleasantly surprised. Kristofferson was excellent in his roll, of a drug using, burned out, drunk rock star. Streisand, who I personally despise, pulled out the performance of her life, and even though I can't stand her personally, no one can take away the power of her beautiful voice. The songs are masterfully composed, with the names of Paul Williams, Kenny Loggins, and Leon Russell contributing to one of the most popular song scores ever. "Evergreen" by Streisand/Williams, won both an academy Award, and a Golden Globe for 1976's best original song. The chemistry between the two stars was unmistakable, bringing a sense of realism to the characters. All this aside though, the screenplay offered a twist from the 2 former versions, in that our pair were musicians, as opposed to actors in the original, and the first remake. This one subtle change seamed to make the movie more contemporary, and more compelling. The full gambit of emotions are achieved, from humor, through anger, from selfless gallantry, through extreme sorrow. You will laugh, you will cry, and most of all, you will enjoy this film, over and over. I own all three versions, and this is not only my favorite version, but one of my favorite films of all time. I highly recommend it to you!

Sppedy delivery, especially during Christmas. Thanks. Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the movie was very entertaining it takes you back to another time very enjoyable i don't know what else to write it was just a very enjoyable movie

love the movie..Barbra Streisand is great in the movie..Saw this movie over 30 years ago and would love to see this movie over and over. I highly recommend this movie to all who love Barbra Streisand.

This is a awesome movie. If you like either of the leading actors then this is a must have. Hard to find movie and found it here for cheap and great quality for such an old movie. Highly recomend for adding this movie to your collection!

This is my all-time favorite movie! If you are a Streisand fan, it is her best movie ever. I have seen the movie over 50 times and will never get sick of it. The soundtrack is marvelous--I actually bought it before I saw the movie. I have worn out the VHS tape, so I had to buy the DVD just to keep it in my collection. I can't wait to watch it on my big-screen TV with my new Bose speakers. I can't even imagine that they would consider Elvis Presley for the part! Kris Kristofferson IS Norman Howard and Barbra IS Ester Hoffman Howard. The Judy Garland version pales by comparison. She had a great voice, but nothing like Streisand.

Extemely slow turnaround from the person/store I purchased this from.
Movie is great but I thought I would have it a lot sooner then I actually received it.

A poignant story of two singers. One trying to go up, and one tragically going down. It dramatically illustrates how excess ruins people. Hurts everyone around. Music is wonderful and I can't think two better artists could have been chosen to play the parts. It makes my heart smile.

I purchased this DVD because A Star is Born is one of my all-time favorite movies. I enjoys the songs and Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson have such great chemistry. It's a wonderful movie about self sacrifice.

When a Buyer pays with paypal and the seller gets the money, that item needs to be shipped out immediately, that day or the next morning,this items wasnt shipped untill 5 days later after it had been paid for,then didnt arrive untill 5 days after that. Thats not good business practice.Shipping needs to be done alot faster. This wasnt a huge item and it shouldnt have been treated like it was or that it took longer because of issues.The delay came form thier end not USPO....

I have always enjoyed movies with Barbra Streisand and I especially love Kris Kristofferson. They both did a wonderful acting job and it was really a terrific movie. I liked the story and it will be one of my favorites for many years to come.

a great company. great timing thanks alot keep on getting more movies!! got the movie on the 5th day I ordered it.

I Really Like This Movie,It Is A Good Love Story. I Really Like The Scene Where Kris And Barbra Are In The Recording Studio Recording "Evergreen" I Wonder How Many Times Kris Kristofferson Had To Practice Writing ESTHER Backwards.

Thank you for the fast time I received it and the goos shape it was in. It was just what I was loooking for.

I got the DVD in record time but there was a delaying in my watching it. Super movie and in unopened/new condition. I would buy from this seller anytime!

I have been looking for this DVD for quite some time never thought of going on Ebay. So I was quite pleased to buy this movie one of my favorits. Thank you going to pop some popcornand enjoy.

This is one of my favorite movies! had VHS but wanted DVD !!
Thanks for fast service!

i like the movie n the story line,it shows about the way people fall in love n loss the ones that mean n love u when it all comes to a end

I loved this movie when it came out. I am a HUGE fan of Babs, so I wanted it on dvd. Now i can watch it whenever I want.

This is a great movie about stardunb and its failures and successes. The two characters in this movie both do a fantastic job in their roles. The music is one of the highlights to this movie considering the actors that play the roles could you ask for any better.

I absolutely love this movie. You can't beat Barbra singing. It's so 70's. Kristofferson is perfect since he can play himself as songwriter and he is so good looking. They look great together. Having watched the deleted scenes, it would have been nice to see her 'writing' Evergreen and playing it for him. It would have shown another way they were drawn to each other. You do see him putting lyrics to her melody though at the beginning of their love scene. The features with her discussing the movie and the extra clips are interesting. I wish they would have included the documentary 'Barbra-With One More Look At You'. She was so cute and funny in the behind-the-scenes. I also prefer this ending to the old version of the man walking into the sea. I like to think it was an accident... What's Up Doc, The Way We Were and A Star Is Born, all kept Barbra #1 through the 70's.

this is mostly a GREAT big music video. If you love Barbra Striesand, then you will absolutly be thrilled with this movie. And Kris Kristoferson is pretty easy on the eyes.

I viewed the movie when it came out in theaters. Loved and and couldn't believe I was able to purchase on DVD.
