The price is right
The Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection (Salvador / Platoon / Wall Street / Talk Radio / Born on the Fourth of July / JFK Director's Cut / The Doors / Heaven and Earth / Natural Born Killers / Nixon / U-Turn / Any Given Sunday Director's Cut) Oliver Stone is not my favorite director, but all these movies are very good and four of them are excellent: Salvador, The Doors, JFK and Nixon. Salvador is my favorite. I was working in San Salvador around the time frame of the movie (a bomb went off just outside my hotel room the first night I was there). James Woods,who should have won as best actor at the Oscars, and James Belushi are excellent in the title roles. Roger Ebert rates JFK as one of the 100 best films of all time. Kevin Costner is outstanding; my only problem with JFK is the movie runs 205 minutes. I have the same problem with Nixon: Anthony Hopkins, who was nominated for best actor at the Oscars but didn't win, is convincing as Nixon, but 212 minutes is just too much Nixon. Val Kilmer IS Jim Morrison. And the music in The Doors is great.All the other films are worth viewing at least once, and they all look great on a HDTV. 4 1/2 stars.

Stone Forever
An erudite, intense person like Stone is going to produce movies of the same caliber. A few I hadn't seen, and even the ones I have seen are worth another watch. The interview with Stone is riveting and informative as to his motivations and beliefs, about his movies and his principles. Highly recommended.

Good value for money
I did not like the fact that, although I agree with the films to a great extend, I find the negative side of US policies is stressed too much and does not take into account global geopolitical issues.

Master Director
Every single film in this collection will not disappoint. Oliver Stone exposes the evil side of humans in a way that will make you think deeply - why do we hurt each other? Why are we sometimes so evil and partake in so much greed? Why not be peaceful.
