Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

ShelbyTMItchell The now departed Larry Hagman is great and was the best in the role of JR Ewing. And that nobody can and never, ever replace him. As a lot of people thought that he would never top his "I Dream of Jeannie" nice guy role of Major Tony Nelson.He seemed to have such a great time doing JR after playing second banana and straight man to Barbara Eden after all of those years. The show was full of backstabbing on a personal and professional level. Along with being so dysfunctional.It proved that money did not buy you happiness. But it sure can make you more backstabbing in the heart of Dallas TX. Hagman has support with Linda Gray, Victoria Principal, Barbara Bel Gedes as Miss Ellie, the matriarch of the Ewing family, and Patrick Duffy as nice brother Bobby.Still it is Hagman that steals the show each and every single time. As it was going to have Bobby and Pam Ewing as the two stars, played respectively by Duffy and Principal But in the end, JR ended up being the man you love to hate and the focal character.RIP Larry and Barbara Bel as you are now reunited!

hnt_dnl When you think influential television shows, DALLAS should be near or at the top of your list. It is on mine! DALLAS was the first really great nighttime soap opera. In reality, it started the genre. There were later shows that followed and were even at times more popular (the spin off KNOTS LANDING, the stylish and classy DYNASTY, the forgotten stepchild FALCON CREST), but DALLAS was the first.DALLAS is the tale of the rich, powerful oil family the Ewings, who reside in Braddock County, Texas, right outside of Big D. The patriarch is John Ross "Jock" Ewing, an old school oil baron who did it the hard way, wildcatting and working in the oil fields. The matriarch is Eleanor Southworth, "Miss Ellie" Ewing, the heart and soul of the family. The land that contains the Ewing's ranch and home is from her side of the family, but she and Jock own it jointly b/c Jock saved the family land when they were about to lose it back in the day. So at first, it was a marriage of convenience, but they quickly fell in love and had 3 sons: Gary, Bobby, and the eldest John Ross Ewing Jr., or as we all know him: JR! For me, JR Ewing is one of the top 2 or 3 characters in all of TV history. Played by the great Larry Hagman, there has never been or ever will be another character like JR. Hagman imbibed JR with a no-nonsense, larger-than-life, unapologetic style that can never be copied. The best TV villain ever! Hagman had a great supporting cast that complimented him: Patrick Duffy (the saintly younger brother Bobby), Linda Gray (JR's alcoholic, self-destructive, but SEXY wife Sue Ellen), Victoria Principal (Bobby's wife Pamela Barnes Ewing, the daughter of Jock's old rival Digger Barnes), Ken Kercheval (Pam's brother and JR's biggest rival Cliff Barnes), Steve Kanaly (Jock's illegitimate son and ranch foreman Ray Krebbs), Susan Howard (Ray's wife and political activist Donna Culver Krebbs), Lucy Ewing (prodigal son Gary's daughter and a spitfire of a young lady) and the aforementioned legends Barbara Bel Geddes (Miss Ellie) and Jim Davis (Jock).The style and set design, in addition to the great characters, of DALLAS is what really draws you in: the beautiful Dallas spots, the expansive Texas scenery, the restaurants, offices, etc. Also, the fashion is great: chic, classy for the females and cowboy boots and suits for the males! And of course, DALLAS had the ultimate cliffhanger: Who shot JR! Perhaps the most memorable cliffhanger (and maybe the real first one) in all of TV history. I remember it as a kid and it still resonates with me today. But let's face it: the greatness of DALLAS can be summed up with two letters: J and R!

dvdfreak1970 Dallas is like a novel I can,t put down.I like the show,I can see why people stayed on Friday or Saturday nights just to watch it back then.Dallas is one of my favorite shows,Im looking forward to watching season7 on DVD,in July.My grandma and grandma watched it back then,I cant wait to see what happens to south fork and how they saved they from burning down,and how they rebuilt it.I wonder what miss Ellie thought of Jr and ray for causing it to catch fire.Im not looking forward to season 8 though,when bobby leaves the show.Im going to miss seeing him on the show.I cant wait to see who gets to be president of euiwng oil.then to find out they didn't have to have that contest in the first place,I cant wait for it to com out...dvdfreak1970

Syl I can't believe that Dallas is being made into a film starring John Travolta as J.R. Ewing. There will only be one J.R. Ewing and that's Larry Hagman. I don't care if he is too ill to play him but I can't imagine another J.R. Ewing. I remember watching Dallas on Friday nights after another southern show, Dukes of Hazzard. I always thought Dallas was great show always entertaining with a stellar cast besides Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Victoria Principal, Barbara Bel Geddes, George Kennedy, Ken Kercheval, Patrick Duffy, Priscilla Presley, Charlene Tilton, etc. This was one show that was quite entertaining to watch on Friday nights. Sure, it was silly sometimes but you can't beat Dallas not with the original cast. It was quite a show of the 1980s.
