Based on a true story the acclaimed film follows the young Kovic from a zealous teen who eagerly volunteers for the Vietnam War to an embittered veteran paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Deeply in love with his country Kovic returned to an environment vastly different from the one he left and struggled before emerging as a brave new voice for the disenchanted. Jerry Maguire: Tom Cruise is Jerry Maguire. He's popular he's a top notch sports agent and he's at the top of his game. He's unstoppable but driven by his conscience he writes a 'mission statement' of a new belief that is quality not quantity the people not the money that really counts. Fired as soon as his boss reads the statement Jerry is soon stripped of his friends fianc''e and self-respect and is forced to start from scratch.

DVD Description
Contains the films A FEW GOOD MEN, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, and JERRY MAGUIRE, all of which star Tom Cruise. In A FEW GOOD MEN, a top Navy lawyer who has never even seen the inside of a courtroom is asked to look into a murder case. Two marines have been arrested for killing a fellow marine in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Both marines maintain that they were issued a Code Red - an official order by their Platoon Commander to 'help retrain' a less than perfect recruit. What follows is an investigation into the workings of the military. BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY follows the experiences of Ron Kovic, played by Tom Cruise. A patriotic kid from a small town, he volunteers eagerly to serve in Vietnam. After being disillusioned by the duplicity of military bureaucracy, he's paralyzed from the chest down by a bullet in the spine. He returns home, bitterly alienated from an uncomprehending family, facing a long and painful rehabilitation. But slowly, with the help of friends like Donna (Kyra Sedgewick), he begins to think differently about the war--and about himself. In JERRY MAGUIRE, the titular character is a slick, high-living sports agent who is tired of the shallowness of his profession and wants to live a more fulfilling, ethical life. But Jerry's new outlook doesn't mesh with his agency's ethics, and he is promptly fired. Jerry finds himself left with one ally, one client, and a long road ahead of him. Along the way he finds something more important than money.
...A FewGoodMen, One Dam Good Film!
I couldn't resist buying the collectors edition of my favourite film - A FewGoodMen when I spotted it on the Amazon website for £6.97, bargain!
Rob Reiner directed the film back in 1992, and not only has this film got a more than gripping storyline, it also delivers powerhouse performances by an amazing cast on a drama about the dangerous difference between following orders and following one's conscience.

Advantages: The films, The extras, The box Disadvantages: A little bit dated, The box (see review)
...This boxset, which is presented in the style of the Lament Configuration Box (or the 'puzzle' box) that features in all of the Hellraiser movies, is a 4-disc special edition set. It is labelled as 'Limited Edition', although I'm not sure what it is that's limited about it, since it has been in shops since 2004 and is still selling in them now - almost 2006.
The boxset contains the first three films (The series was originally pegged as a trilogy, and added to later - these first three films are considered by many to be the "main" films in the series), and a fourth bonus disc. Each of the films has extras of its own on the film disc, and the bonus disc includes a few more interviews etc.

There are three disks in this boxset with 8 episodes on each (except the last one, which has a double length episode). The disks have to be turned over, as there are 4 episodes on each side, there is either a red A or B at the centre of the disk. The letters are quite small and can be difficult to locate, as the disk is silver. The A or B will refer to which episodes you want to watch.
