Another example of why most American series suck.
2 of 2 found this helpful 40 years old and does not seem dated. If anything it is still curiously prophetic. If you are reading this you know the plot of this short but stunning series so I will not bore you with the details. What you might want to know is whether it is worth the relatively un-discounted BBC price. Yes, every penny and probably more. I have been starving for an episodic series to watch since there is absolutely nothing on TV to watch until Dr. Who and Torchwood return. I am so surprised at how advanced their technology still seems, which gives it a timeless feel that it could be happening right now. If you have any interest in how a finely crafted series can retain its freshness after so much time, this is an expenditure well worth the cost. I cannot wait to finish the last episode so I can start over again. Name me one American show from the 60's that could be shown today and still feel as relevant and entertaining in todays world as this precious jewel. After you finish this, do yourself another favor and purchase what is argueably one of the funniest series ever filmed, another British masterpiece, "Fawlty Towers". Both will make you start paying more attention to reruns on BBC America instead of wasting your time with the dreadful dreck passing for entertainment currently being offered on almost any channel on this side of the pond. Happy viewing. Love, duppydog

Slow but interesting
This is 5 star for those who watch every Coen brothers character study movies, as opposed to their numerous crime epics like "Blood Simple", "Fargo", to name a few. As we fans have learned, though, this is where they can come up short. Think "The Men Who Stare At Goats" or to some degree, "Barton Fink". The movie, in typical, quirky Coen style, starts at the end then goes back to the beginning before returning to the end, where it started, to finish the story. Not actually a flashback as it is a plot device to introduce the main character, folk singer LLewyn Davis. The entire cast is flawless as we follow a week in LD's life in the 1961 folk music scene. What we learn is this is a highly talented, and deeply flawed, individual with a marginal moral compass, and perhaps the most nonredeemable personality you will likely ever meet. At almost every turn when he could do, if not the right thing, at least not be the world's most consummate jerk, he reverts to his complete self centeredness.. The movie is dry, somewhat slowly paced, and not for those looking for an exciting Coen directed outing. Even "O Brother Where Art Thou", another "musical", had action scenes. And I cannot say there is a particularly discernible plot other than just telling a story about one week in this guys life. But the music is great, the dialogue crisp and the story is compelling enough to make you want to see how this all ends up. And, as with many of their previous movies, like "Burn After Reading", it does not so much end as it just stops. Story told, now go home. Definitely worth a watch or three.

Great value
This is a great way to organize CD's/DVD's and store in a compact space. Much less expensive than similar offers from Amazon. Not as heavy duty as some others I own but adequate for occasional opening-closing use. Buy a sturdier unit if you are using it for transport more than storage.
