Chris Columbus' charming comedy Adventures in Babysitting comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles, but the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Although there are no supplemental materials of any consequence, the inexpensive list price makes this disc a great purchase for anyone looking for a comedy the whole family can enjoy.

Delightful fun movie

Elizabeth Shue gives her all as a young woman who, though disappointed that her "dream date" had to cancel, decides to spend the night babysitting the neighbor's 2 kids (and friend). A series of more & more outrageous escapades happen as they wind up travelling from suburb to Chicago to help rescue a friend. It's all delightful and entertaining and sweet. We LOVE this movie!
What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

While not quite a special edition, the re-release of The Fugitive makes up for what the original disc lacked. As with the first DVD, this disc has excellent picture and sound. The image, which is as good if not better than the previous release, uses a strong anamorphic transfer in the original theatrical aspect ration of 1.85:1. The detail is sharp and colors are consistent. In addition, blacks are deep and solid. The sound is equally impressive. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is filled with effects that take advantage of the entire sound spectrum. A surround track in French, and subtitles in English and French, are also included. The original release of this title did not even have a trailer so it is exciting to see a little extra work go into this release. The highlight is a commentary track from director Andrew Davis and actor Tommy Lee Jones. Actually, Jones is rarely heard on this track, but Davis makes up for his absence with plenty of anecdotal information on making the film. Some of the things he talks about come as a real surprise. The rest of the supplemental information is not nearly as interesting, but still welcome. A 20-minute featurette called "On the Run With the Fugitive" combines film clips with interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, but lacks depth. The other featurette is a seven-minute piece called "Derailed: Anatomy of a Train Wreck"; while fascinating, it is too short. The least interesting extra on this disc is an introduction from Davis and Harrison Ford, which is nothing more than a very brief set of interviews. Biographies and filmographies of the main players as well as the theatrical trailer are also included. While superior to the first disc Warner released, it really could use more to make it feel complete.

Harrison Ford "The Fugitive"

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a huge fan of the old TV series "The Fugitive" and was interested to see the new movie. Really loved it! Have rented it occasionally over the years and the last time around I decided I really wanted it for my own collection. Watched it again when Best Buy DVD arrived and it's just as good as it's always been. One to see over & over again, when the mode hits.
What's great about it: Movie is so well done, creative, clever and involving
What's not so great: this is one EXCELLENT movie
I would recommend this to a friend!
