Romancing the Stone / Jewel of the Nile [Blu-ray]

I had forgotten about these 2 movies, which were all time favorites and so happy to find them on DVD and rewatch them.The 2 stars made the movies entertaining, with lots of action, and a love story. Would love to see this kind of movie come back.

I LOVE Romancing the Stone. I grew up watching this. I didn't realize until recently I had never purchased it. So, I bought it on bluray. And, since it was just a good deal, I got both of them together. Jewel of the Nile I had never seen or only seen once or twice, so it was like watching a new movie. I really like the first one more, however, it is good to have both of them together since they are a set. The first one had more romantic parts, which may be why I liked it more. It seemed like less of a romance with the second one, as he was chasing her down the whole time. If you are new to the movie/movies, she's a romance author who travels to South America and because her Spanish is awful, gets on a wrong bus and gets stranded and Jack finds her and helps, and I say help lightly. It's a cult classic from the 80s. The second one they end up in the dessert. Jack is looking for the Jewel and she of course gets herself into trouble again. I think it's a great addition to a romance movie collection.

Romancing the Stone has always been one of my favorite movies, maybe because it's about a writer who gets the opportunity to live a larger-than-life adventure, even just the once. Joan doesn't start off as a heroine any more than Jack starts off a hero, but they both get there somewhere along the way, and if that isn't what plot and character arc and theme are about, I don't know what is.The Jewel of the Nile isn't quite as close to my heart, but it's still a fun ride and the Jewel himself is pretty priceless, no pun intended. Plus, most romantic comedy-type movies are about dumping your current ho-hum lover and getting the newer, flashier model that comes along because that's where all the fireworks are. I like that this one starts off that way, with Joan leaving Jack and a relationship that's missing something for the chance to write something "real", but goes back to them working it out and deciding to be with each other after all. That's a classy risk, and I think it pays off.

When "Romancing the Stone" was in the theaters, I think I watched it over 5 times. Snappy dialogue, unexpected punch lines, and a believable story. Then add Danny Devito, and you have over the top hilarity! One of my favorite scenes is watching Danny run down the hill away from the "Mounties!", carrying the jewel and shooting at them behind his head without aiming. And then he drives this tiny car around....and the classic lines....."Look at those snappers", "....they have bugs there the size of sanitation trucks...", and my favorite from Jack Colton....."lady I'm not cheap , but I can be had." Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny Devito all exude that magic called chemistry that makes this a very unforgettable and fun film. This double movie version comes with added DVD extras and liner stories that I enjoyed reading. Diane Thomas wrote one of the best movie scripts of all time and her talent is showcased here.

I'm romancing the stone every night and every day. I've found a love so precious like an emerald so bold.It's a firelight escaping from a jeweler's hold. Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow. I'm romancing the stone. Through the broken glass I'll see at last the sweet desire in romancing the stone.I'll climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon you:I'm romancing the stone.Never leaving your poor heart alone.Every night and every day.Gonna love the hurting away.Jewel of the Nile suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks tho.

This movie didn't even play it said prohibited an area location and it would not play at all! What does that mean! I now know what that means it means it can only play on a DVD player from United Kingdom well I didn't see that and didn't know what that was until now and I live in the United States of America knowing that I live in the US why didn't someone acknowledge that it won't play on some machine we have here? I still haven't got a refund I didn't get the movie I'm still very upset!

BOTTOM LINE: A pair of well-made entertaining action/adventure films with a light comedic touch, made to cash in on the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK craze of the mid-1980's. All told, this action/comedy double feature is a solid bargain for fans of the films, and adventure movie lovers in general. 4 STARSTHOUGHTS: I hadn't seen these two movies in years, and when I saw that they were available as a boxset, and for a decent price, I had to pick 'em up. These two romantic adventure comedies still hold up very well despite being over 25+ years old, and the follow-up flick was almost every bit as entertaining as the original. A rare thing with sequels. The danger is real yet with a sense of fun, and not too intense for younger viewers. Some ambitious action set pieces in both films keep your pulse racing in between the romance and comedy bits. Douglas & Turner make a terrific couple and have great chemistry, and Danny Devito steals every scene he's in. My wife & I enjoyed both of these movies very much.THE BLU-RAYS: Each film contains some solid bonus features, which should please fans, but if it's just the films that you're buying this set for then don't worry - they both look & sound terrific here in hi-def. Solid video with very little artifacting, pixelation, edge enhancement or crush (video noise). The audio tracks are strong level and clean on both films. Both movies are conveniently packaged together in one space-saving snapcase, for an even better bargain. Recommended.

Great film

DVD uniquement en anglais pas d'audio français, impossible à renvoyer, déçu.

AMBOS OS FILMES DO MEMSO REALIZADOR SAO MUITISSIMOS BONS . A NAO PERDER ! DE EXCELNTES PRODUÇOES! 5 ESTRELAS!

Entrambi i film sono un azzeccato mix di azione, complicati intrighi e amore, il tutto condito con una punta di ironia e qualche spunto comIco. Girati con grandi mezzi e attori super; la Turner all'epoca era anche molto bella e sensuale. Eccellenti il video e l'audio, questo solo in lingua inglese con sottotitoli inglesi.

Merci de changer vitre annonce, vous avez écrit au niveau langage en français et hors c est que en anglais, la prochaine fois je me ferai plus avoir
