Fried Green Tomatoes (Widescreen Collector's Edition)

this is absolutely my favourite movie, of all time !! it has made me laugh, cry, and share in the triumphs and losses of the many delightful characters moving through the story. outstanding perfommances all around, wonderful story, marvelous plot. a movie to be treasured, and watched many, many times. if you've ever had a true friend, a must watch.

I have watched this movie over and over and it is always a great staple in our home.

Fried Green Tomatoes had a little bit of everything: drama, comedy, mystery and not to mention three great actressess, Jessica Tandy, Kathy Bates and Mary-Louise Parker.

I was pleased with the amount of time the movie was received in. The movie was in excellent condition.

I loved "Fried Green Tomatoes" at the theater and the old VHS video version (which is the only version on which you can see the original theatrical release), but unfortunately, both DVD versions insert extra scenes which ruin some of the seemless transitions between flashbacks and present-time which were the hallmark of "Fried Green Tomatoes". The extra scenes aren't even particularly good, and this DVD provides no original version without them. This criticism is true for both the Widescreen Collector's Edition and the Anniversary Edition. I'm deeply disappointed, and hoping Universal will one day release the original theatrical version of the film on DVD. What a shame it would be for the theatrical version of "Fried Green Tomatoes" to one day disappear.
