Steven Spielberg's mid-'80s foray into television, Steven Spielberg Presents Amazing Stories, was
based loosely on a pulpy sci-fi magazine from the '40s and '50s--much as his rollicking hit Raiders of
the Lost Ark had been based on movie action serials of the same era.
Yet despite the retro concept, Amazing Stories brought high gloss and state-of-the-art production
values to their yarns of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. The boxed set of the first season (which debuted in 1985), contains all 24 episodes, as well as more than 20 minutes of deleted footage.
Spielberg himself was very hands-on in the series, and directed many episodes and wrote most, and some themes from his later films show up here.
In The Mission, a special hourlong episode (most are half an hour), stars Kevin Costner and Kiefer Sutherland play World War II bombers whose plane is hit during a routine mission, and who face a dire choice, with one young colleague's life hanging in the balance.
Spielberg's visceral direction of the wartime violence, camaraderie, and anxiety is pitch-perfect, and presages some of the most moving moments in Saving Private Ryan.
Part of the fun of this collection is seeing the stars and guest directors Spielberg cajoled into service, including Martin Scorsese, Sam Waterston (with a head of bushy '80s hair), Tim Robbins, Clint Eastwood, Harvey Keitel, and John Lithgow.
The storytelling is crackerjack, and the trip down TV memory lane - priceless!!

This was personally encoded by me, Carjacker, from the Retail Edition DVD.
Unfortunately, Season 2 has yet to be released in R1 NTSC, though i has been released in Japan and Germany,but at this time, the price is just to high for me to purchase. This includes all BONUS features from the set.
