 Rating:  - Not CroppedI hated this film on first vewing because I was used to the John Garfield version and I felt the sex in this one was just too perverse, especially the scene immediately following the 'accident". The movie has really grown on me since then, though, and it has become one of my favorite "new" film noirs. As for the DVD being in full screen: it is indeed in full screen, but it is not cropped. Instead, the transfer shows information on the top and bottom which would have been masked off in the theater. ... Read More Rating:  - The Postman Always Rings Twice. Jack At His Best!A movie you will want to watch over and over. Jack and Jessica Lange at their acting best. A drifter and a frustrated wife of a roadside diner owner. Set in the depression era, watch Jack and Jessica burst into flames on the screen. A must see movie! Rating:  - David Mamet's first screenplayFrank Chambers (Jack Nicholson) is a drifter who manages to scam his way into the lives of married couple Nick (John Colicos) and Cora (Jessica Lange).

There are only a few movies that I would put in the same category along with it: Casablanca, The African Queen, and The Great Escape. In short, I loved it and probably have seen the movie about 50 times. It is indeed a classic! Rating:  - A Good Remake But the Original is a ClassicI saw the 1981 "Postman" when it first came out. The period recreation and photography are excellent. Moreover, the performances are convincing and the sexual heat can be felt. Lange, who hit major stardom the following year with "Tootsie" and "Frances," has been a top notch actress ever since her arrival in Hollywood. Here, she gets her first high profile dramatic role. In her prime, Lange was an incredibly sexy woman. Hot with a capital "H." In this version, Rafelson and company are true to the ethnicities ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
