This month the 25th Anniversary DVD of Warren Beatty’s movie Reds hits the shelves. It’s the first time the movie has been released on DVD. Beatty (interviewed in the NY Times Magazine today) won a Best Director Oscar and the movie should have won Best Picture (Chariots of Fire won instead).

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It mixes revolutionary idealism with romance. It made me a life-long fan of Dianne Keaton. Add Jack Niocholson as Eugene O’Neil, and you can’t go wrong.
