Leather Wing would only buy this if he ran out of toilet paper, because, you know, a dvd makes good toilet paper (maybe it's why he's so grumpy).
I would suggest purchasing it and watching it. Michael Moore may be more to the left than some, but god, hasn't anyone ever considered watching everything with a speculative eye? It's less biased than the news is - he reports, you decide, and most of it is things that should have been covered by the news in some fashion, but weren't.
Michael Moore is far more honest than the Republican talking heads (Rush, Coulter, Hannity). Watch, enjoy, investigate further.

Being a huge fine of MM like I am, I just bought this package on a whim. I was not disappointed. The package has "The Big One", "Bowling For Columbine", and a separate DVD about "Dude, Where's My Country" tour that he did last year.

The Bowling for Columbine DVD has 4 hours of extras including his Oscar acceptance speech and interviews. In the separate DVD, MM talks about how we need representation in our congress - like if there are 10% Greens(Independants, democrats, etc) in the U.S. - there should be 10% Greens in congress, he also talks about looking at other media sources besides the U.S. to find out what's actually going on here because our media doesn't tell us or ask the questions that they should.

Bowling for Columbine is about gun control and The Big One is about corporate downsizing and greed. Moore's work is always stuff which leaves you happy, thoughful and full of will to make a positive change. You will learn a lot!

I dont think anyone wants to know your opinon on the man just rate the movie. If you have something to say to him or about him go to his web site, this is not the place.

Now i think all his films are very informative if you look at them through objective eyes. I know more now about these topics (ex: the war on Iraq) than before i saw his movies. If you hate these movies just ask yourself, "Is this the truth or more true that what you get from FOX news or ABC?"

It's so silly how Michael Moore is criticized purely based on what trashy Fox News watchers see on TV. They claim that his works are fictious anti american jabble, when in reality he encourages people to pirate the movie & then goes on tour giving speeches full of well researched facts FOR FREE. Clearly, this man is doing it all for the money.

If his words are so insincere, why has the president not sued him for slander?
And why can't anyone slamming the movie ever make any specific reference? It's always a general statement about michael moore being one explictive or another, and never about something he actually says. Could it be, maybe, that they don't even know why they hate him?

Michael Moore's film "Bowling for Columbine" was incisive and thought provoking. As usual, Moore draws no specific conlusions from the facts he presents. He allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions. Moore's presentation of hard, cold facts may be unpleasant for those that prefer a system of blind faith over rationalism. Those individual's that adhere to principles of honest, open, and rational discourse will find any film (or book) by Moore to be interesting introductory material to any social, economic, or political issue of contemporary importance. Moore has delivered another brilliant analysis of the crises facing the citizens of the United States.

Michael Moore produces books and films that try to show what is actually happening in society. The USA seems dominated by idiots such as M.Sturdivant, who think George Bush is some kind of god. Wake up and smell the coffee guy! What about the budget deficit? How many soldiers are dying daily in IRAQ? Is any of this the fault of Kerry or Michael Moore? No, the responsibility lies solely with the Bush administration. You really need to watch F911 and actually learn something about the way you are manipulated.

Capitalism: A Love StorySicko (Special Edition)Fahrenheit 9/11Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life You either hate him or love him, there is not much between...Unless you happened to reside under some huge stone and never heard of him..I happened to love and admire Michael for standing almost alone in the American wilderness with feelings for his fellow Americans. He has his head and heart in the right place and his priorities right. It's such a shame that in this country these values are not important any more; money, greed and profit driven Corporations rule the land. Perhaps if more people would tear themselves away from chasing dollars and sit down to watch Moore's excellent documentaries or read his new book of his life, we could start changing the world, make it to be a decent, better place to live in :))

Great in theory, but someone screwed up: listing says "Columbine" is the 2-disc special edition, packaging says it's the 2-disc special edition (even lists the features!), but it's the single-disc edition. Hope that was an innocent oversight...

I rented this movie to see what it was like. I will buy it and recommend everyone to see it!

I think this is now out of print but if you can find it, it's worth a reasonable price. Two great films by Michael Moore, and a bonus disc of stirring material. My only complaint are that The Big One isn't featured in widescreen, and the packaging is just merely a box with an opening at the top. I was expecting an artbox where you can slide the DVDs out of the side.
