At the time of this review, there are 5 SwapaDVD members wishing for The 'Burbs widescreen DVD, while 1 copy is available of this widescreen set which also includes The Money Pit--the better movie of the two in my opinion. I own this set and have always felt it is a nice combo. Tom Hanks is a great dramatic actor, but I like his comedies best.
For me, The 'Burbs is somewhat of a guilty pleasure. I don't really think it's that good of a movie, though I can relate to wondering about the neighbors, but I like it anyway. I've watched The Money Pit many, many times beginning in childhood (I have been watching The 'Burbs since childhood also, so I don't favor The Money Pit because of that), and I always enjoy it. It has wonderful lines and physical comedy. The line "Two weeks" is one to which I still refer. Shelley Long's performance only makes the movie better. I hope one of The 'Burbs wishers sees this and takes a chance on The Money Pit as well.

The Burbs - A classic with lots of stars and a plotline that takes you all over the place. Director Joe Dante has a special way to creep you out!
