Could watch it a million times
Excellent VHS set. I wish they would produce it on DVD because I am worried I will wear my tapes out. Very informative and interesting.

PRINCESS DIANA?!! RIDICULOUS! STRONG FINISH THOUGH...
Some of the choices on Biographiy's list do not belong. Princess Diana doesn't belong at all. She is rated #73--higher than Stalin, Peter the Great and the Beatles! I almost turned the video off, expecting Muhammad Ali or Marilyn Monroe to pop up ahead of Magellan or FDR. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the top 40 choices. I feel the following people do not belong on this list:Patient Zero, Eleanor Roosevelt, Diana, Harriet Tubman, Margaret Sanger, Mary Wollstonecraft. These people obviously belong on the list: Goethe, Bismarck, Saladin, Cervantes, F.W. Hegal, Khomeini. Strong cases could also be made for Catherine the Great, Eleanor of Aquitaine, John D. Rockefeller, Cardinal Richelieu, Kemal Attaturk, Spinoza, J.P. Morgan, Nasser and Tamurlane. Two of the three people I once heard described as the most overrated in history--John Kennedy and Louis XIV--did not make Biography's list, but the third--Voltaire--did. Kennedy, what ever I think of him- was definately more important than Diana. Overall 3 stars.

Best of the Best
I love Biography and the work they do. This is a great snapshot of the top 100 people in the last thousand year. While I disagree with some of the placings, Biography does back up their choices with solid reasoning. It is fun to watch.

A Must See for All
In true Biography form, this series is an excellent review of some of the greatest individuals from the years 1000-2000. While I did not agree with all the choices, or the order of importance that they were ranked, I still highly recommend this for viewing by young and old alike. All walks of life are equally represented by the choices of the panel--writers, politicans, scientists, philosophers, activists, inventers, etc. Interwoven between the bios of the 100 are comments from current field leaders that lend an interesting flavor to the choices. The choice of the panel for the number one most influential person of the millennium was someone that I never would have guessed, but in retrospect it was a very logical choice. You'll have to watch it to see what I mean!

to feeler, Jesus couldn't be listed #1: he was not on earth during the last millennium.to stinky: get some education, and try again when you know what's what.THIS is an outstanding film, and I use it to teach modern history, even as I disagree with much of it. It's great at boiling things down to their essences...
