most looking forward to revisiting and owning. I was born in 1984 so I can't get too misty-eyed over the "golden era of radio" but somehow Allen always makes me. This isn't just one of my favorite films of his but one of my favorite films of all time. It's a beautiful, poetic movie filled with movement and life. I recall one review I read calling this Woody Allen's version of Amarcord. In a sense, this is very true. One of the greats, truly...

I got the boxsets for myself for christmass and been enjoying them as well. I watched radio days last night in fact

My question to you is, did you notice how 2 of the box sets said that a booklet was included with dvds (1 and 3 I believe) but didn't have booklets? only boxset 2 had it.

or did i get the wrong set ?

I just looked and the set with Radio Days, Hannah and Danny Rose etc. has them but NOT the others. Interestingly, the Radio Days set had no seal stickers (you know like those irritating things you have to peel off of CDs) but had the booklets but the other sets had the seals but not the booklets. Getting a little lazy at the factory I guess. If they had just been slipcards with a chapter list I wouldn't be so irked but the other booklets all have production notes! Oh, well I did get it for pretty cheap. Just $80 for all those films which beats having to buy them seperately.

I was born in the 60s, still 20 years after it takes place, but because I knew it was my parent's exact generation, I loved seeing it and then told them they had to go see it (My dad didn't comprehend how I could have liked it so much...as if you had to live in a time to get warm feelings about such a sentimental look at it?). My mother is dead now and my dad is very old, and I just watched it yet again and imagined how that world was for them (even though they aren't from New York) and would have loved to have seen it WITH them.

30 years later, I can easily see History classes showing it to the kids, if they are teaching about things like living in the war, collecting scrap metal, blackouts, etc. (They'd have to edit out the naked woman, I guess).
