5.0 out of 5 stars 20TH CENTURY FOX - STILL STANDING STRONG, April 3, 2009

20th Century Fox was and to this day still is one of the major studios in Hollywood. The studio has a long and distinguished history and has made some of the most enduring classics in film. From tiny superstar Shirley Temple to the massive nearly crushing drama surrounding "Cleopatra" and beyond into a 21st century mega-studio this documentary leaves no stone unturned as it majestically rolls along. Great clips are presented along with reminiscences of some former Fox stars.

A must have documentary for any film fan or historian. And for me it brought up so many memories of hours spent watching some of Hollywood's most enduring films. For new buffs it is like opening a hidden treasure trove of films and will wet the appetite for exploring our rich and wonderful cultural history as preserved in celluloid.

If you are a movie buff like myself, then this dvd is a MUST for your collection. The clips of past movies is both enjoyable and entertaining. This was the era of grand movies, unlike what is being made today. Sit back and relive the days when going to the movies was a really great treat.
