Summary: 5 Stars
I watched it in one of my classes. Didn't expect much and didn't even know what it was about until the movie was played on. Not a single moment I felt dull as most of other films students watch in classes. It's a great movie. Highly recommend to watch. DVD Review: And the Band Played On

What a sad but accurate account of the Band (our govenment) playing on while cataclysmic events were taking place. Shame on us. Thank you for your fast delivery and great price.DVD Review: The greatest movie no one has heard of!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most thought provocative movies I've seen. Even with it's all star cast, the media never mentioned it during it's release. Well I saw it and it's just as great today as it was when it came out. DVD Review: Wonderful Movie about the History of HIV/ AIDS
Summary: 5 Stars
Every since coming across this movie 5 years ago, I have been a huge fan and read the book soon after seeing it. I was happy to see that the movie really did a good job staying true to the book and the saga of HIV. I am now a science teacher and I always show this in my class when discussing HIV and AIDS. The students always enjoy it and many are moved to read the book, do more research on their own, or even join the cause. This is a movie that everyone should see!!!!
Description of And the Band Played On
THIS IS THE STORY OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE DISEASE WE NOW KNOW AS AIDS.AN UNFORGETTABLE TALE OF SCIENTIFIC STRUGGLE, CORRUPTION, DECEIT, TRAGEDY & TRIUMPH.DVD FEATURES NOT LISTED.A superior, made-for-cable film, this Home Box Office adaptation of Randy Shilts's chronicle detailing the emergence of AIDS in America and the fight against bureaucracy and society for a cure is a taut, outrageous, and affecting true-life drama. Matthew Modine (Birdy, Married to the Mob) is featured as a doctor with the Centers for Disease Control at the time when the first reports of a disease plaguing the gay community were heard. Modine and his colleagues embark on an investigation that resembles a compelling detective story as they try to track the source of the disease and discover a cure. Their efforts are thwarted by an ambivalent government and a turf war between French physicians and a celebrated American researcher (Alan Alda) who seems to place his own glory above the dead and the dying. Featuring heartfelt performances from a stellar cast including Richard Gere, Glenne Headly, Anjelica Huston, Steve Martin, Ian McKellen, Saul Rubinek, and Lily Tomlin, this impassioned film stands as an impressive and important document of one of the darkest eras in modern human history, and a tribute to the spirit of those who sought to save lives. --Robert Lane
