Amadeus (DVD, 1997)

My favorite movie

I looked for quite a while trying to find the theatrical cut of this (I've always found it better than the director's cut) but they apparently don't even make it anymore. When I found it here though, it made my day. This version is so finely tuned and well crafted that I never EVER get tired of it. The DC always felt a little off because this movie is written and cut around musical cues which get wonky when you wedge new scenes in between old ones. Literally the only downside is the fact that this is a two sided disc, but I suppose it is a very long movie so what can you do? You can watch it and love it.Read full review

Physical disc

I like having the physical disc as opposed to having digital rights stored in the cloud. Great price and decent delivery.

Classic film as it was originally released!

This seller provided one of the rare DVD versions of the theatrical cut of the Academy Award-winning masterpiece "Amadeus." I've been searching for it since the indulgent, slow-moving "Director's Cut" was introduced in 2002. The only disadvantages of the product are having to flip the disc (not uncommon in 1997, when it was released). Also, for whatever reason, it requires an extended audio set-up every time you play it. Otherwise it plays only the soundtrack (no dialogue), while sometimes adding subtitles. Once you get the procedure down, it's ALL WORTH IT! I couldn't recommend this gorgeous, well-paced version of "Amadeus" more to any potential lover of the film and of Mozart's music. Check this seller out for more!Read full review

Wish they would release the theatrical version on Blu-Ray

This non "Director's Cut" version is worlds better! I hope they release this theatrical version on Blu-Ray soon, but in the meantime this is the only way to access the better cut of this amazing film.Read full review

The title could have been better; Amadeus was one of Mozart's several middle names.

Aside from the fact that Antonio Salieri did not murder Mozart ( as portrayed in the film ),
the movie is engaging and the music is wonderful.

Great deal on a good movie

I enjoy this movie very much. I saw it years ago and I kind of forgot it. But seeing it again I noticed things I missed before. So I’m glad that I got a good deal on eBay for the dvd.

Great Movie , recommend seeing

Great take on the life of Amadeus Mozart . funny and full of life with the characters exciting to watch. Starts a little slow , and a little slow in areas , but with the Music in the movie , it puts you back in time withe the operas and culture it deserves. Excellent all around movie , esp. for Mozart fans.Read full review

Amadeus was great

Amadeus was one of the greatest Broadway plays and one of the few movies that successfully translated to film. Of course, I was trained on classical violin for many years so perhaps it was "insider baseball" but I also want to point out that this is a DVD not easy to find.Read full review
