The official tape about the 34th Super Bowl--arguably the best ever--is a feast for the Rams fan. Admirers of the game, let alone Tennessee Titans fans, will be disappointed that three-quarters of the tape's 60 minutes is a yearbook of the Rams' startling turnaround from NFL doormats to champions. The game-by-game recap of the Rams' season is punctuated by player interviews, on-field talk, and the enthusiastic calls of the play-by-play announcers. The NFL Films formula of slick editing, grandstanding music, and the velvet tones of narrator Harry Kalas makes one relive the terrific Super Bowl with the emotional sting intact. It also delivers elements that weren't seen on TV broadcast, including sideline comments by coach Dick Vermeil as he dissects the game and smile-inducing last shot. --Doug Thomas

From the back cover

It has been nearly a half-century since the Rams' last NFL championship and two decades removed from their only Super Bowl appearance. And coming off the heels of nine consecutive losing seasons, little was expected of the '99 team. But in one of the great Cinderella stories in sports history, St. Louis rolled to a franchise record 13 regular season wins and its first division title since 1985. The few remaining skeptics were silenced for good in the playoffs. The Rams knocked off the Vikings, Buccaneers and Titans to claim pro football's ultimate prize in the Super Bowl.

NFL coach of the Year Dick Vermeil's cast of stars included quarterback Kurt Warner, who came out of nowhere to earn league MVP honors. Running back Marshall Faulk set a record for yards from scrimmage and was joined in the Pro Bowl by receiver Isaac Bruce, tackle Orlando Pace, defensive end Kevin Carter and cornerback Todd Lyght.

From the first whistle of opening day right through the final gun of Super Bowl XXXIV, here are the highlights from every game. NFL Films takes you down to the sidelines, inside the huddle and into the locker room with exclusive footage and interviews that recapture the sights and sounds of 1999--the year the St. Louis Rams proved that impossible dreams can come true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Rams video highlights an unbelievable year!, April 27, 2000

By	S. Voyce "Ramsfan" (Clarks Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This tape is really a summary of the Rams unbelievable 1999-2000 season. The Super Bowl highlights only make up the final quarter of the tape (albeit an outstanding final 15 minutes). As a NFL/Rams fan since 1970, this past season made up for many years of frustration.The game-by-game highlights are expertly edited and cut with player interviews, sideline & locker room banter and "miked" comments from coach Vermeil. Although the plays by Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, and Issac Bruce are emphasized, there are more than enough clips of the other offensive players, the defense & the special teams to spotlight whomever your favorite Ram might be. The excitement of the season builds until the final tackle of Super Bowl XXXIV. Coach Vermeil's final celebration scenes are priceless! Although I watched every Rams game this season, this video is still well worth the price. A perfect gift for any football fan but an absolute necessity for any true Rams fan! Then again, I may be a bit biased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should have won Best Picture., April 24, 2000

By	John M. Mena (the Center of the world, St.Louis MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This tape will bring you to tears. Tears of joy. The smiling face of Todd Lyght (the last man standing from L.A) in the final credits, will touch your heart if you are one of the many who vicariously followed Rams through the tough times, and suffered the losses along with Lyght.

This was the Greatest Season any team ever had. So many stories of rags to riches. I can't watch it without getting emotional. The kick off runs by Horne just when we needed it. A coach returning after burnout to tend to unfinished business.

Last seasons third stringer QB, like Moses, to lead his people to the promise land.

Keith Lyle, who said other teams called them the Lambs his entire career.

Marshall Faulk who's skills are unmatched. Ricky Prohels heroics.

Bruce, the greatest St.Louis Ram ever, with the greatest St.Louis TD ever.

And Mike Jones, who stopped the Music in Music City.

Before the Season, I was going to edit the other season highlight tapes together to pretend we won the Super Bowl. The Rams beat me to it!

This is a great tape. Great rewatchability power. Buy two copies because you will wear this one out. In the words of Kurt Warner, "Thank you Jesus! "

If you like Ever After and football too. you are going to love this. "Go to go to work" the Rams slogan, is something every normal human being can relate to.
