The complete DVD collection at Meyer, which includes both feature films and the documentary/educational DVDs, is located in the NE corner of the Lower Level (near the microforms collection). You will need to check these out at the main level Information desk.
We have a small collection of VHS tapes in storage. If you would like to check out one of those (the call number would be N followed by a three or four digit number), please ask for assistance at the Circulation/Information desk.
Two viewing stations for VHS and DVD are available for your use on the west side of the second level, towards Glass Hall. These have 27" flat screens.
PINOCCHIO (2022)
2022 Academy Award - Best Animated Feature
Enjoy the Criterion edition of director Guillermo del Toro's take on the classic morality fable, using Fascist Italy as the backdrop. The stop-motion animation is stunning!
THE RED BALLOON / LE BALLON ROUGE (1956)
1957 Academy Award - Best Original Screenplay
Newly restored and available on DVD for the first time, this 34-minute film by Albert Lamorisse remains one of the most beloved children's films of all time. In this deceptively simple, nearly wordless tale, a young boy discovers a stray balloon that seems to have a mind of its own.
STEVIE WONDER: SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE (1999)
Take a deep dive into Stevie Wonder's iconic Songs in the Key of Life album from 1976. Interviews with Wonder and the musicians and technicians involved revisit many now-classic songs like "I Wish," "Sir Duke," and "Isn't She Lovely" (which includes a vocal appearance by Wonder's then-infant daughter, Aisha).
ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1966)
Directed by Jonathan Miller, this is a very adult (think "Victorian") take on the 1865 story by Lewis Carroll. The cast includes Peter Sellers (the March Hare), Sir John Gielgud (the Mock Turtle), Peter Cook (the Mad Hatter), and Dudley Moore (the Dormouse). Ravi Shankar provides the soundtrack on the sitar.
FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES (2022)
2023 Grammy Award - Best Opera Recording
Terence Blanchard, whose credits include the soundtracks to Malcolm X (1992) and BlacKkKlansman (2018), made history when this became the first opera by a Black composer to be presented by the Metropolitan Opera Company (beating out Scott Joplin's Treemonisha from 1910, William Grant Still's Blue Steel from 1934, Ulysses Kay's Frederick Douglas from 1985, and many others).
To celebrate one hundred years of American filmmaking history, the American Film Institute created a list of its "Top 100" American films. We are proud to include all of these films as a part of our video collection.
