8 Mile (2003, DVD)

Excellent seller, fast and reliable. Thxs, a bunch. Easy transation, fast shiping. Woulb do bussiness again

I have always enjoyed this movie and the best part is where they are fixing Rabbits car right around his birthday in front of his moms trailer and him and his friend begin rapping along to sweet home Alabama. Just seeing where this household name of today spent his yesterdays is comforting that anyone can climb up from the bottom or even lower...

Eminem known as Rabbit in the movie did a very good acting job, and i haven't seen better acting since. They used the actual charactars and names of his family. He also has some of his great songs on it and there are many rap battles that will make you laugh until you pass out.

Good movie, I was amped by the end. Would have liked to see/hear more music.
Good overall message, generally very good acting.

I waited almost two months to get my items. Then when I got my items they were not the correct items. This seller is awful, he ran me around for a long time. I do not recomend this seller.

He has sold millions of records, but this feature-film partly based on his life, is an amazing story. The movie has great actors and sharp editing, and you know the sound-track will be fantastic. Not a light-movie, but a hard-hitting look at what it is like to grow up in a poor suburb of Detroit.

At first, I bought this movie just becasue of Eminem. But this movie surprised me a lot. The storyline is pretty good and showed the hard life of one white man that wants to be a rapper. He has many obstacles but eventually he made it. The ending is so good, because "life still has to continue."

I loved the whole DVD. There wasn't one thing that I didn't like about it. Great Sale as well! It was perfect quality, and was in pretty much NEW condition. A+ item.

It is a great movie. Eminem is a great rapper and also a great actor. This movie shows what it is like to live in poverty and to have a dream.

I bought this DVD because We love this movie and lost our other copy. I looked on ebay because we couldn't find it anywhere else! If you like movies like this it is a great buy!!!!!!!

Great seller for this movie which I have been looking for six months now. All the ones I had found were used, but this copy was new and still in the package. There was also a fast delivery. Thanks

A+++!!! An AWESOME FILM!!! VERY INSPIRATIONAL!! GREAT MUSIC AS WELL!!!

A great behind-the-scenes look at the hard inner-city life(the pre-success life of many songwriters/MC's/Rappers/etc), living life without a cent and working hard to achieve your dreams! A GREAT EXAMPLE of the life many live, day in and day out, and what they have to do and what they go through to make it to the big time!

We have watched this DVD more times than we can even count!!!

GREAT PERFORMANCES!!!

8 Mile stars Eminem, and shows an "example" of the hard life that he had lived in inner-city Detroit. However, if you follow Eminem and you're familiar with the life of Marshall Mathers, the movie isnt an exact depiction of his life, but rather a great example of much of what he went through(and even more not mentioned in the film), and what many others go through daily as they try and try to achieve their dreams!

A MUST HAVE!!

Note: Does contain explicit language and minor drug scenes.

OUR RATING: 10/10

like the way it was shiped so fast and packed. i love it. there was notting that i didnt dislike about it. thank you for job and thanks for the movie.

The first formula film in years to work on every level. 8 Mile brings an entire world to life, with it’s vividly displayed music sets, strong performances, natural dialogue, and, above all, heart. The film is aided immensely on it’s focus, something many formula films these days seem to lack. By centering on the life of one character, his failures are all the more painful, his triumph all the more sweet. I highly respect Eminem’s music, and have been a fan for awhile, so perhaps I am biased, but all I know is this: No other 2002 movie exhilarated me this much, no 2002 movie has this replay value to me, and no other 2002 movie made me cheer out loud.

Great movie. Music is good. Acting is real. Buy it!Apparently reviews have to be at least 100 characters. Buy it!

I love the movie, that's how he got started!!!!!!!!! it takes a lot of guts for what he did trying to make something out of himself.

This is a very good movie. Life as your typical white boy in the city with a dream of making it big. Great story to the movie, highly recomended.

I liked the movie and wanted to buy it. I liked everything: The quality, the shippug, the price. There's really nothing I disliked.

I am a parent of a teenager, and I really enjoyed this movie. I also am an avid fan of Eminems music. I too feel he is a virtual genius. When hes good, hes very, very good, and when hes bad, hes very, very bad. But there is no denying his genius and this movie leaves no doubt as to that. He fought for where he is right now and does deserve it. The movie will clear up a lot of doubt some people may hold against him. Watch it, u'll be glad u did. And your kids will be glad u did too!

Ah, a movie starring a music star, never something that invties feelings of joy and anticipation (Glitter, anyone?). What we have here, however, is not a badly written, directed and acted pop song vehicle. Instead, 8 Mile is an extremely well written, well directed and well acted (yes, well acted) piece of film-making.
Like him or loathe him, his lyrics or whatever, Eminem is an undeniable presence in today's world, no matter what people like Tipper Gore in the US would have you think. He is also a good actor, at least when he is not required to stretch himself. Here he plays moody, resentful ands angry, all parts of his natural personality as it appears in public. I mean, this is man who wrote 'Stan'. But he can act, that is a fact. His persona has been watered down for the movie (or beefed up for Slim Shady, whichever you prefer). Here he is not homophobic (he even defends a gay man in a rap sparring battle at work), he is not a gangster (he gets beaten up by them), he is, despite his group of friends, pretty alone. He is prone to bursts of random and ferocious violence and temper tantrums. Okay, so you still sometimes see him as a rap star with somewhat objectionable views rather than the character he plays, but that's not the point. Overall, Jimmy Smith Jnr. is a pretty well drawn character, definitely not 100% likeable, but not wholly unsympathetic either.

After he chokes in the opening scene of the movie, a rap battle where rappers spar with each other, producing ingenious slices of rhyme, he is booed and ridiculed by all but his four friends and Alex (Brittany Murphy), a girl he meets. This is not a totally happy movie, it deals with a bleak landscape and bleaker lives, people stuck where they are because they can't bring themselves to leave, caught in a cycle of violence. That said, it provides a superb climax, when Jimmy (Eminem) enters a rap battle again in order to win out over the gang who have abused and beaten him. Here Eminem's verbal skills come into their own, and come the final, he owns the crowd. To the reviewer who took the moral high ground and said that this movie should never be compared to 'Rocky', due to the immoral nature of it's star, why is a man stringing together rhymes to overcome adversity worse than a man who is paid to beat another man into a pulp? The character Jimmy goes after in the final battle is ridiculed for reasons this reviewer saw as commendable, but the character is a violent, murderous bully who was threatening to kill Jimmy earlier in the movie, so why stand up for him? This is a movie about the underdog, and it has the likes of Rocky on the ropes from the word go.

You may not like Marshall Mathers III and his views on race sexuality and women, but for now, that's not the point. Yes, the movie is violent and full of swearing, but so are Scorsese movies, and he's hailed as a genius. Yes, the female characters are not held up as role models for young girls, but Alex does at least show her support and affection for Jimmy in spite of what happens. To conclude, you should watch 8 Mile, not because it's got Eminem in it, but because it is a very good movie.
