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

Not as good as I remember it, but there were still good scenes and funny parts. I think it came across more as a play, and maybe it should have stayed on Broadway. I thought the acting was a little too theatrical and the characters were playing to a live audience. Its definitely a movie to watch again, but just not in the foreseeable future.

Love the mivie

The movie was in good condition as stated and arrived in a timely manner and was a gift for my mother who specifically requested this movie in a DVD so it was a win win!

One of my favorite all-time movies. Had it at one time. It disappeared. Needed another one. Can watch it over and over.

Back in the day I taped this off HBO and our family watched it over and over. Funny and heartwarming. This was Jonathan Silvermans debut and he is great as the teenage Jewish kid growing up in Brooklyn in the years before WWII. The family deals with their personal conflicts and social issues, but there isnt anything preachy about the message. The ensemble cast turns in a wonderful performance and the writing is, well, Neil Simon. Translated beautifully on the big screen.

One of the best movies I have ever purchased. Jonathan Silverman shines; Judith Ivey is wonderful as his squawking aunt. She is a great actress in any movie she has ever been in ~ and her performance in Brighton Beach Memoirs is outstanding. You can really understand her brother-in-law wanting her out of the house. I never tire of watching this one.

I was trying to find this movie and I could never find it on till I logged in to Amazon I just loved it thanks Amazon

Great film of a gentler time and an ordinary Brooklyn family

Very enjoyable film. Casting was on-target!
