Greatest is a Duran Duran fan's biggest wish come true (next to a live concert, of course)--all their groundbreaking videos together in one place. More than radio, MTV made mega-stars out of the photogenic group, and few took better advantage of the medium, particularly in the 1980s. Just as their music combined the sophisticated pop of Roxy Music with the electro-funk of Chic, each video is as immaculately styled and conceived as the band itself. Like 1998's Greatest CD collection, this two-DVD set features all their big hits, including uncensored versions of "Girls on Film" and "Come Undone." Directors include Godley and Creme, Julien Temple, and Vogue photographer Ellen Von Unwerth and years covered range from 1981's self-titled debut to 1997's Medazzaland. All told: more models, more hair spray, and more mascara than a Paris fashion show--but it's got a better beat (and you can dance to it). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

It had to be a very difficult task narrowing down Duran Duran's videos into one collection. However, I think they did a great job selecting the most popular videos and many that haven't seen airtime in decades (When was the last time Union of the Snake was on any of the MTV/VH1 channels?).
The navigation around the DVD is terrible and complicated. One has to search for the hidden videos and interviews. It took me awhile to figure out how to access the 17 minute video of 'New Moon on Monday'. To get to this video: go to 'S' of GREATEST on disc 1, click on 'New Moon on Monday' and watch or advance through the video, do this three more times and the fourth time you will have the 17 minute video.
Also, they had room to fit some lesser hits on this collection. 'Meet El Presidente', 'Do You Believe in Shame', 'Violence of Summer', 'Too Much Information', and the live version of 'Save a Prayer'(peaked at 16 in 1985) could have been included on this collection. Instead they have four versions of the video 'New Moon on Monday'. All of this could have also fit on one disc.
Another compliant is that the main video for 'The Wild Boys' is fuzzy and blurry with washed out color, but the interview for this video shows clips of the video which are crisp and clear. I can't figure that out.
There is no artwork on the DVD cover and the list of songs is printed in a way where one can barely read it.
Watching many of the videos takes me back to 1980s. Some videos are good and others are just plain bad. The videos for 'Hungry Like the Wolf', 'The Reflex', and 'New Moon on Monday' are classics, but the 'Rio' video is a bad 1980s video at its worse and the same for 'Union of the Snake'.
I bought this collection for $13.00 and it was worth it, even with the annoying issues.

中学生当時、毎日ビデオテープで観ていた映像に感激です。
E' la collezione di tutti i video dei piu' grandi successi dei DD da Planet earth, Union of the Snake,
View to a Kill e All she Wants Is.
Unica pecca il Menù che e' un poco chiaro nell'accesso dei singoli brani ma si tratta di un problema di poco conto.
