I watched La Bamba last night & I was left totally amazed. Amazed at the quality of the transfer & also amazed at a great movie that I had seen before in P&S on TV or HBO. This film in its 16X9 enhanced version was a whole new movie to me!!! I saw things that I never remembered seeing before! This film was made originally for $6 million yet made over $100 million world-wide! It is still the highest gross rock bio of all times and also the highest grossing Latino based film ever!
It also has some GREAT extras. 2 documentary tracks, bios, trailers and a making of short!
I recommend this disk to every one regardless of whether you liked Richie Valens music or not!!
Involved in the making of this DVD include the following: Brian Setzer, Carlos Santana, Brian Adams, Bo Diddley, Dick Clark, & Rick Dees to name a few.
Also for those who are interested in the factual artifacts of what occured on "The Day the Music Died" VH-1 is running a great 90 minute special on this with details of The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, and Richie Valens with some interviews with Lou Diamond Phillips, Gary Busey, and Waylon Jennings (who missed taking the flight that fatefull night).
This movie is an delightful factual story of family & dreams!!

I have the two movies as a DVD set. (The Buddy Holly Story and La Bamba). Both movies are great!

Geez, spoilers, DVD cover!

We are not supposed to post DVD covers? Sorry, I am new and old here. haha!

No worries. Just a joke.
I find it hilarious that the cover lets you know the two movies have the same ending, as if anyone didn't already know that and thought that would make a fun double feature.

A 26 year bump. Not bad ...

I wasn't sure. I haven't been here in 20+ years and spent all my time at the Otter Farm. Now I want to talk film.
Why isn't there easy talk threads about movies? Is this forum just about DVDs? I think people should post their lists of fav movies and chat about them.
Rather than argue, review, or critique them. I should probably run to a shaded corner now... lol!

The DVD in the website name is for historical purposes only. That format is now close to 30 years old. Blu-ray is 20 years old. UHD is closing on 10 years

But Deckers joke about "Two music legends. Two separate stories. One tragic ending" on the cover is pretty good.

It seems that DVDs are the main topic in these forums, to a new person coming in. Perhaps the site needs an overhaul. lol!
Not that I would suggest such a thing. I guess I will just start randomly posting and wait for my excommunication papers... haha!

Head over to the movie forum part of this site. And create threads if you can't find your fav movies to discuss!

Yes! yesterday I found MovieTalk and The last Movie you Watched thread.. Only 1 million more posts to go. I am always looking for movies to possess. Thank you!

pee in her butt?
