LOVED IT!! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!, 20 July 2001
Author: Maria from New York City, NY

I have to say this has got to be one of my all-time favorite film! I first saw it on AMC and fell in love with it instantly. Ever since than, I've been looking for it on video when I had VHS (unfortunately I was unsuccessful). And now I'm searching for it on DVD (still unsuccessful).

Why does Paramount Pictures rarely release any of their old films on video/DVD??? It's so disappointing they place restrictions.
