Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I have been worked in the production in this movie, pity my name is not on credits being Assistant to Production Manager and somewhere, transport coordinator and 2nd. unit assistant at war scene's.The whole production was a great experience for me and fun most of the times if you ignore the non stop work and run....Unfortunately it was the only movie shoot at Antalya Film Studios which is a great and brand new studio. We have been working over 3 months at locations in Cappadocia where I live now.I do watch the film time to time and still enjoy fully, knowing the inside information the set and the characters etc.I did buy a lot of props from the movie and have pictures, raw video materials etc. Do you think one can sell those on e-bay etc. I have more than plenty... So I can spare some out.If you did not watch the movie yet its well worth it to find a copy and watch.Happy viewing, Murat

This movie with its many popular tales told throughout was incredible. Don't let the length put you off as it almost did me. In the end I felt it could have been longer it was that enjoyable. The popular tales of Ali Baba and Aladdin, along with a few other I didn't recognize were fantastic. Each story was able to flow into the next using characters from the previous story, until the last 2 tales after Aladdin.(The only small miscast was that of Aladdin, Lee, while his acting was believable, did not seem to strike me as an Aladdin.)Each tale has a point, coming together in the end.Spellbinding entertainment.

I saw this on free to air tv tonight and thought it was excellent. It moves along quickly but manages to explore each story nicely. The costumes and set pieces are wonderful, and the mood is set well.If Disney has done nothing else it has butchered the stories of old cultures... Aladdin was not originally the story of a persian peasant with a pet monkey and an eccentric genie. Aladdin was a chinese fable, and was never as child friendly as it became. I like that they have told the original tellings (of most of the stories anyway) rather than regurtitate the disney versions

Normally I put TV productions into a category of their own; very few of them stand a comparison with productions made for the big screen. There are however a notable few exceptions; most of them Brittish, like "Prime Suspect", "Walking with Dinosaurs" and "Queer as Folks"."Arabian Nights", a Jim Henson Production, is yet another one. I won't try to fool you; there are tracks left from the TV format and its commercial breaks. But the casting is good, the acting is excellent and the story is told in a quick but relaxed pace, with some interesting quirks.In short: It has all the sence of wonder you expect from a good story book.
