Brighton Beach Memoirs [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

An old time favorite of mine from about 25 years ago. Exactly the same movie I saw then, and not the play version. I love it. Thank you.

A really good movie that I could relate to.

I used to watch this with my mom as a kid. Gave you some insight of what the old days living in to 1900’s was.

Reminds you of that forgotten time. All the actors are fit for their parts. We have watched it for at least 10 times. It is that good.

Neil Simon is one of the greats and this explains why. He wasnt as prolific as Woody Allen but he hits it out of the ball park every single time. He was an innovator and ahead of his time with this piece--utilizing techniques of straight to camera and faux documentary that we take for granted now. Ive seen this a dozen times and it never loses its humor, poignancy and a certain sad nostalgia for a bygone era that is done without an ounce of sentimentality. The key scene between Blanche and her daughter Nora is dead on now and probably will be forever, because great writing transcends time. These are people experiencing the basic human things we all experience and that is what makes Simon one of the greats.

Just as I remembered it when it first came out. Many laughs and many truly great lessons in this Neil Simon masterpiece. If I had just a few movies this would be one of them.

Life is definitely never dull with seven people living under the same roof Have enjoyed this movie for years watching it on TV whenever it was on... but has not been on TV for a long time now so was time to buy the DVD. Found no problems with the DVD at all, good quality for older film redone in Anamorphic Widescreen to fill the widescreen TV nicely without zooming in

This was our first viewing of the three Neil Simon Trilogies based on his life. My wife and I greatly enjoyed it. We watched it the first time in the privacy of our home without anyone else with us. When we took it to some lady friends home to share it with them, The 60 year old was offended by some of the subject matter, but overall enjoyed it we think, and the other friend in her who is 69 really enjoyed it and laughed most of the way through the movie. I gave it a four star instead of the five I really wanted to give it, because the movie does have some subject matter that is of human nature but yet offensive to some people. For that reason, I would not recommend it to be viewed by small children or youth.

I love this movie! An engrossing comedy with great realism. Makes you appreciate the ups and downs of teenage years. Even though the setting is the 1930s, this story would be funny and rewarding in any generation.

Happy I found this 80s movie. One of my favorite Simon movies.
