5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic roller coaster of emotion .., 8 Jan 2006
This review is from: A Star is Born [DVD] [1976] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This film is a wonderful insite in to how two people's paths cross and how true love can win and destroy lives. Barbra plays a wonderful singer, who has some fantastic songs to sing with The Oreo's and who hits the big time after she is seen by Kris, who plays a 'has been' rock star. Obsessed by her, he escalates her to super stardom whilst he sits back and watches, and ends up wanting badly what she ends up with - that esteemed love and adoration from the public. Their chemistry is hot and you are left wanting to see so much more.

The emotional toing and froing captures you immediately and you are drawn into their relationship right through to the end of the movie, laughing and crying with them both every step of the way. I broke the video tape - I've played it so much, and now I long for it to come out on DVD. Jan 1, 2010 seems an eternity to wait for this masterpiece to be released.

5 amazing stars for this film, an absolutely MUST SEE.

5.0 out of 5 stars An emotional love story, 30 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This is an absolute classic, the soundtract is fabulous. It's a feel-good movie and tear-jerker at the same time. It's a story of rags to riches for Streisand's character, but shows the down side to the rock and roll lifestyle for Kristoffeson's role.
The love these two characters have for each other is definitely felt by the audience and you feel very much involved in the film. The climax of the movie is very emotional and will have you in tears.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Star is Born, 1 Jun 2005
I haven't actually bought it yet. Having seen it at the pictures and on the telly I have been waiting for it to come out on DVD, in vain I fear....I am going to give in now and put my order in for a video from an Amazon seller...But I want to know from anyone, WHY has this not ever been re-released on DVD? It's such an excellent, excellent film, and the soundtrack, which i have had on CD for years is amazing!!! so if anyone can enlighten me as to Bab's reluctance to release a DVD please do. Thanks, Di
