Treasure Island - best production
Added 10/6/2009
This is the best performance of this story that I have ever seen.
They got EVERYTHING right: acting, cinematography, music (awesome score from the Chieftans)....
I remain completely mystified as to why this prodcution is not available on DVD!!!

The quintessential version!
Added 7/27/2009
Fraser Heston and a great cast made the quintessential versionof R.L. Stevenson's
classic! Great perfomances by Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee, Pete Postlethwaite
and a young Christian Bale! And, of course, Charleton Heston. I do not understand why
this is not available in DVD.

The best production of this classic that I have seen
Added 7/27/2009
If we judge a movie not by the script alone but by the acting, costumes
and scenes, this movie has it all.
Everyone has the book to start from in making the movie:
some have chosen to make a children's movie and made vanilla pirates
without the violence or language of the original.
I think this movie with some realistic blood and guts
filming is more faithful to the original
than any other version that I have seen.
I liked the movie.

Marvelous Version
Added 7/24/2009
Only one negative - The picture quality on the VHS is not very good, even for 1990.
Positives - The cast, sets, costumes, direction and dialogue. Oliver Reed steals the first part and Charlton Heston is superb as a conniving but likeable Silver. I admired Christian Bale in Rescue Dawn and I could see the man and actor he would become in his role as Jim Hawkins.
We want a re-mastered DVD version!

Video Treasure Island
Added 5/17/2009
I played the VHS movie Treasure Island once and the tape was crinkled and wouldn't play. I feel like I waisted my money. It was for a classroom project and I was unable to finish that portion of the unit. I am not pleased. It was a faulty product.
