Essentials by Decade: The 1970s
The 1970s were as tumultuous in film as they were in America. The cinematic innovations of the late-'60s continued, but were fueled by a distrust of government and institutions. By the end of the decade, however, a new generation of creative talent--raised on an entirely different culture of entertainment--made blockbusters the new face of Hollywood.

Amazon Asks the Actors: What's an Essential DVD From Your Career?
I think one of the great characters was the Marquise De Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons. Truthfully every movie, even the ones that weren't so much fun, have informed me tremendously. And each one represents some real learning experience of some sort. It's a great luxury to be an actor to be able to explore so many landscapes of human behavior.--Glenn Close

Talk about the Big Picture: Epics are grand in scale and transportive in scope.

Check out our list of Essential epics on DVD, including:Drama Essentials: Courtroom Dramas
Whether the screen is big or small, the story true or fictional, the attorneys the good guys or the villains, and the action all takes place inside a courthouse or not, the popularity of the courtroom drama has never waned. Nor has its quality. The level of talent both behind and in front of the camera is astonishing; the following ten films earned more than 50 Oscar nominations and yielded Best Actor wins for Jodie Foster, Gregory Peck, Maximilian Schell, and Jeremy Irons.

Essentials by Genre: Chick Flicks
Movies that get classified as "chick flicks" generally revolve around two topics: romance and friendship. And what's wrong with that? Whether the romance in your life is a little lacking or burning strong and your female friendships are closer to Mean Girls than The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, a great (or greatly terrible) movie made just for the ladies is a surefire way to celebrate and enjoy all those wonderful things about being a woman. Check out our list of Essential Chick Flicks on DVD, including:Cool Drama DVDs on the Horizon

Essentials by Actress: Cate Blanchett

Australian actress Cate Blanchett is a chameleon. Whether she's playing Queen Elizabeth or Katherine Hepburn, she completely transforms herself into every role and is continually fascinating to watch. She's racked up multiple awards and nominations in a relatively short period of time and has a long career ahead of her - no doubt to be filled with more compelling and tranformative performances.
