This is a great dvd collection for any Backstreet Boy fan. The videos are:

From the album BACKSTREET BOYS
Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)
I'll Never Break Your Heart BACKSTREET BOYS [1998 version]

From the album BACKSTREET'S BACK (but BACKSTREET BOYS in the U.S.)
As Long As You Love Me
Everybody (Backstreet's Back)
All I Have To Give

From MILLENIUM
I Want It That Way
Larger Than Life
Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
The One

From BLACK AND BLUE
Shape Of My Heart
The Call
More Than That

The majority of Backstreet Boys' videos are included here. However, there are a number which are missing. This compilation appears to lack five videos, which in my opinion, are some of their best. They are:

1. Drowning

The others (which are all from the album BACKSTREET BOYS), are:

2. We've Got It Goin On - Their first video. They appear to be just 'hanging out', at a car wash, playing basketball, and dancing in a club etc.

3. Anywhere For You - In this video they're at the beach.

4. Get Down (You're the One For Me) - Here they are mainly dancing on a round stage with tv screens all around them.

5. I'll Never Break Your Heart - 1996 version. This was actually re-released; the old version had the boys at what appeared to be a ski resort.

For those who want to see the majority of the Backstreet Boys videos, this is the DVD to buy. Although incomplete, the videos present are in good quality. Maybe these missing videos will be released in the future. This is only "Chapter One" of their video hits, after all.

As soon as I read the back of the CD "the hits-Chapter One," I deemed it an instant classic and one of the best compilation CDs ever compiled. This band has had so much success--and now here is the companion to the CD, the music videos for each song. This is a great DVD if you love the Backstreet Boys. I think the only people that will even consider buying it are people like me that love everything Backstreet. I've always loved Backstreet videos, and I finally have all of the hits in one place, and I don't have to watch hours of MTV to get them! The only reason I gave this 4 instead of five stars is that I think they should've released a more "concert" type video with live performances. I love music videos, but nothing beats the Backstreet Boys harmonizing on a stage.

I've been a huge avid fan of the Backstreet Boys since '97, and I own all their albums. I've seen all their music videos on MTV and the Disney Channel. And now, after they recorded HITS - CHAPTER ONE, the album, they came out with this amazing complication DVD featuring all of their hit music videos, except for their new song, "Drowning" (which can only be found on the CD-Single and the hits album). That is the only disappointing thing about this DVD. Oh well. I actually think the music video is on the CD-Single for "Drowning" because I think the CD-Single is enchanced, so it might show the video. But anyway, this is the full-list of all the music videos you will see on this DVD (not in the correct order):

"Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1997)
"As Long As You Love Me" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1997)
"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1997)
"I'll Never Break Your Heart" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1998)
"All I Have To Give" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1998)
"I Want It That Way" ~ MILLENNIUM (1999)
"Larger Than Life" ~ MILLENNIUM (1999)
"Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" ~ MILLENNIUM (1999)
"Shape Of My Heart" ~ BLACK & BLUE (2000)
"The Call" ~ BLACK & BLUE (2000)
"More Than That" ~ BLACK & BLUE (2000)

Of course, they always miss out on some of their hit songs like "We've Got It Goin' On" (the very first single in late 1996, which is off their BACKSTREET BOYS album); "What Makes You Different (Makes You Beautiful)" - I don't think they've made a music video for that but it was a single for some short time, and possibly one of their best love ballads ever, and several other songs that were International singles. I do not understand why they cannot put International music videos on a music video DVD that is released in the US. That only forces the hardcore fans to buy the International versions of the DVDs instead of the US version.

I also feel as though this complication DVD is not complete because they could have added more to it like interviews with the Backstreet Boys, snipets of their concerts, photo galleries, biographies, some extra bonus BSB footage, and other things that would make a fan pleased. But all in all, as far as the music videos go, this is an excellent collection of all the BSB's hit music videos and a must have for all die-heart BSB fans. Now, you don't have to go rushing to tape all of their music videos every time you see them on MTV or the Disney Channel!

~P.S.: The DVD sound and picture quality is excellent and top-notch. The BSB deserve all the credit and success they have achieved and more!!~

BackStreet's Back!!! All right!!!!!

I admit, I was a fan back in by college listening to this stuff, and it's really good stuff. Sure, it's very cheesy and the little girls liked them too at the time, but I'm 33 years old now and even I can appreciate the musical talents of these 5 guys. This DVD package includes their hits from their first 3 albums and it's truly their best stuff. The crazy video "Everybody" is worth the price of admission. It's the Ultimate Halloween video. The classic "I Want It That Way" sounds better than ever and you'll want to play it over and over. Larger Than Life, Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely, Quit Playing Games W/My Heart, As Long As You Love Me and tons more--- what's not to like?

The best part of this DVD is hearing in Dolby Digital 5.1 and people with high end speakers will want to jam hard with this stuff. People make fun of these guys all the time, but the fans know this is music worth listening to and with their new album out too, it shows they still have a niche for music lovers. If you want to rehash the 90's in true DVD glory, give this DVD a shot, it's good stuff.

This movie was GREAT! I've seen this and "Back Street Stories" and this ranked way higher than that movie. I'm tellin' ya if you want to buy a Backstreet Boy movie that has no Bad motions, cuss words or sexual content this is the one to get.But there is one song that parents might want to listen to first. It's called "EveryBody [Backstreets Back]" and it says.."Am i The Only One" "Am I SEXUAL" "Am I everything You better Rock your Body right." I know my parents don't like that But thats preety much it. I hope i didn't spoile it for you. That is just one song so your ok. My parents didn't buy this for me but we rented it & if i did get it I would watch it EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

I gave this a four. I wanted to rate it 4 1/2, but that was not an option. Most likely if you're deciding whether or not to purchase this video you're a Backstreet fan, so you've seen all these videos. You may have even had all of them recorded from TRL and some of them you may already own on other BSB home videos. So you may ask yourself, why buy this? One reason is because it has a different version of Everybody (Backstreet's Back). It's the video to the original version instead of the extended version which is on the All Access video. Even though the song itself is shorter, this version includes scenes that were not included in the other one. This is also the first time the videos from Millennium and Black & Blue have been put on home VHS or DVD. Even if you recorded them from the TV like I did, if you buy this, you will get all those videos with better sound and picture quality. The only problem is that Drowning is not included. I recorded the TRL premiere of that, with the bad sound quaility and the TRL and MTV symbols on the screen. Well, I would also have liked them to use the Neptunes remix of The Call because it has even more footage than the original, but that's OK. Buy this video and you will get perfect versions of almost all of their videos.

The Boys know how to do a good video, and this is a good transfer of their body of work. Unfortunately, that's it. There's nothing special about this DVD that takes advantage of the medium. No stills, no interview footage, no timeline, two web links (both official sites). There's also no excuse for the complete absence of "Drowning" from the disc (at least an audio track would have a nice touch if the video wasn't ready in time to be included). Well worth having if you're a fan, especially if you've got the other videos on tape, but it is only the minimum of what should be expected of a major DVD release.

This video has all of BSB's US videos *besides the 1995 minor hit "We've Got It Going On"* and their latest hit "Drowning" from last year. This is a must for any fan. It's a great opportunity to see how the guys have grown since their start in the mid-90's and all of the music videos are pleasent to watch. My favorites being "As Long As You Love Me", "I Want It That Way" and the pumping dance video "Everybody." Also, if you are able, I recommend you purchase the European version which also includes three videos never released in the US "We've Got It Going On", "Anywhere For You" and "Get Down" all released in 1995-1996 just before BSB really begin to break through here in the states.

This video rock, i can see all the greatest BSB music video in just 1 dvd. But I would give this video 4 stars, becasue I think they should include thier latest music video Drowning, I love this song so much, and the video is beatuiful. Also I think they should put some very early music videos from the guys like their 1st music video "We've Got It Going On", because many BSB fans never have a chance to see this video.
