Summary: An Almost Complete Collection of Madonna's Best Videos
Review: With a spectacular cover photography by David LaChapelle, Madonna's "93:98 Video Collection," is a great addition to any music lover's collection. As a pioneer of daring, thought-provoking videos, Madonna has always been on the forefront of creating styles and opinions.

On this video collection, most (but not all) of Madonna's videos produced in the past decade are included for everyone's viewing pleasure. While such videos as "Bedtime Story," are amazing when it comes to their composition and imagination, others like "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," are simple in their theme and imagery.

I was disappointed in the same way I was with her prior video collection, that some videos were omitted from the compilation. If she was able to add a live performance of "Vogue," on the "Immaculate Collection" compilation, she could have added more to this collection. Videos such as "You'll See," "Erotica," "Justify My Love," and "This Use to Be My Playground," which were released during the 1990's have been totally omitted, which is a complete shame. However, the video that I was looking forward in seeing, "I Want You," was also ommitted. This video, which was based on the short theatrical piece "La Voix Humaine," revolves around a woman awaiting for a call from her lover who has left her. In what I consider a very powerful (and long) video, Madonna portrays a woman exhausted by the long wait. Filmed in black & white, this is one of her most moving videos.

Another two things I would have to see on this collection would have been the option to see the lyrics appear on the screen, in addition to motion menus that allows the viewer to get a preview of each video before actually playing it (similar to the motion menus on the "Matrix" DVD). In conclusion, I hope whenever Madonna releases her new video compilation (which most likley will include the videos from her upcoming album "Music," and videos made in between ("American Pie"), I hope she decides to also add all the videos she omitted in the prior two releases, so that her fans can enjoy them as much as the first time we saw them on television.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: madonna video collection; 1993-1999
Review: Even though it says its all the videos from a span of 93-99, its NOT! wheres Erotica? Madonna's fans are not stupid, they know what video's were made and which ones you can't get see anywhere, therefore this video is missing and makes some people upset. also, they were reports that the song Ray of Light has alternet videos, BUT are not shown on this tape. ...and for reasons like this, i only give the video 4 stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Although it's incomplete, it's still worth buying.
Review: Although the video is missing some obvious inclusions, the video is still worth purchasing. The video does a good job of showing how Madonna never stays in one place as an artist. She is always changing, and trying new things. This is especially apparent as the video collection progresses with such examples as "Bedtime Story", "Human Nature", "Ray of Light", and "Nothing Really Matters." Although the videos do not have the punch her 80's videos did, the videos still showcase her ability to make interesting and creative videos when she wants to. What I don't understand is why she decided to include "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" over such videos as "You'll See" or "I Want You." Food for thought. :-)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: David Fincher is Excellent!
Review: The coolest thing about this dvd are the videos david fincher did. Reason for the being is, well, he's just a really good director.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Videos, but not all of them+there is nothing else but
Review: videos on this DVD. I am not the most devoted of Madonna's fans, but even I could see that some videos seem to be missing on this release. It has the great ones like FEVER, BEDTIME STORY, HUMAN NATURE, etc. But LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE and BEAUTIFUL STRANGER should not have been here, 'cos they don't fit in. The sound and picture quality is superb, but I really hoped that the DVD release would have something more besides videos and credits at the end. I hoped that Madonna and her team would come up with something creative. Alas, they did not. There is absolutely nothing else on it, not even a nice menu. So, this video is kinda boring...However, for everyone who loves Madonna for her visual art, it might be a nice buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent video but? .........
Review: EXCELLENT RECOPILATION OF MADONNA, EXCELLENT VIDEO QUALITY BUT THE SOUND WAS REALLY POOR HOW COME IT DOES NOT HAVE DOLBY 5.1?. SO TRY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. CUASE WHEN YOU BUY YOU WANT THE BEST AND IN THIS CASE IT WASN'T...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: only a 4 star
Review: well what can you say great dvd but the sound is very poor i have to lower the bass right down to stop it blowing up my system SO ONLY 4 STARS

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent music videos...
Review: Even though there were missing music videos ..., theones that were on here were very good. I do agree with others,though, that there should have been two versions of this video released. One, like this one, where all ages can see it, and another one, with the videos a and all the others, then it would be rated R. They did this with the album, " a," so they should do it with this too...

But even though there were missing music videos, I really enjoyed what was on here, and would suggest it to anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT, BUT MISSING A FEW
Review: I absolutely LOVE Madonna...always have, always will. I think she is a true artist and is very creative. She has some of the BEST videos ever made. The only thing that kept me from giving this 5 stars is what she chose not to include : Erotica, You'll See, Justify My Love, Deeper and Deeper, I Want You plus any others I've forgotten. I understand not putting the Evita songs on there, except for You Must Love Me, which she wrote especially for the film. Perhaps in the next five to ten years she'll come out with a complete collection. But I am THRILLED this did come out....all of her videos are amazing. A true ICON that has been misunderstood and deserves LOTS of credit! Viva MADONNA! Also, check out "Immaculate Collection" if you don't own it already!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Madonna's the best - but we should have been given more!
Review: I absolutely love Madonna which is why i gave this video collection 5 stars, but it could have been so much better. There are so many videos that are missing from this DVD that should have been included. I recently purchased George Michael's video collection, and it has every video he ever made, plus lots of extras. Madonna should have done the same thing. Let us be the judge of what we want to see. An interview would have been nice or some extra footage, live performances. Madonna is my favorite, but this could have been so much better.
