HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Based on the extraordinary true story, the action-packed, epic tale DEFIANCE arrives on DVD and Blu-ray June 2, 2009 from Paramount Home Entertainment. Directed by Academy Award® winner Edward Zwick (Blood Diamond), Defiance stars Daniel Craig (Quantum of Solace), Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Jamie Bell (Flags Of Our Fathers) as brothers, simple farmers—outnumbered and outgunned—who turned a group of war refugees into powerful freedom fighters. The inspirational story of family, bravery and survival has been hailed as “gripping” (Larry King), “a must see” (Steve Oldfield, FOX TV) and “complex, engrossing and worth celebrating” (Richard Corliss, Time) and the film received Oscar® and Golden Globe® nominations for Best Original Score.
The Defiance DVD and Blu-ray presentations include:
- Commentary by director Edward Zwick, an in-depth look at the making of the film called “Defiance: Return to the Forest”
- Interviews with the real-life descendants of the Bielski family and
- Photographs taken by the director during the production.
- Additionally, the Blu-ray includes “Scoring Defiance”, a discussion with composer James Newton Howard and violinist Joshua Bell about the much-lauded score.

Geoff says
I’d have to go with Scrabble, mostly because I’m a big believer in the importance of language skills, and I think even from an early age that the classic crossword game can really help children build their vocabulary and learn the art of the English language.
Barbara says
Our family has always had the most fun with “Sorry”; even the tiniest child who can’t read understands the game and it is a learning experience. Taking turns and counting! Thank you for allowing me to tell you our family’s favorite!
chrysa says
Trouble is good as a board game.
theodore says
The game of Life is always fun to play.
Rita says
Memory is the best because kids like it and it can be played with a few picture cards or cubes for younger children and a regular deck of cards to make it more challenging for older children. It is also quiet and portable, which makes it good for places like waiting rooms. It can be played by one or more players, and incorporates turn-taking which is a transferable skill. Mainly, it is fun.
Venus says
Two of my favorite games that are also very helpful with math are Jacks and Marbles. You can play them both inside or out.
Jim says
Checkers is a great game, it has strategy and fun

Everything important to learn in life can be learned in a really vicious game of Dodgeball. Probably ought to wait till Jr. High or so.
gloria says
I would have to say scrabble because you learn as you play. Sometimes you learn that some words are not really words at all.
Kathy says
We love hi Ho Cherrio right now and outside baseball
Amy says
I would have to say Hide and Go Seek is still one of my kids favorites, that and I Spy lol.
John says
I love Clue
Jim says
I like to play Stratego with my kids. There is stategy and planning involved.
john says
I think the best childrens game is checkers because it is easy to learn.
Luigi says
I feel the best game to play with children, are the ones that allow imagination to run wild. Usually, it is better to let them pick what the scenario is. If they want to play with a cardboard box and pretend it is a space ship? go for it. I think that allows people to truly understand who they are and what type of personality they will have in the future.
Steve says
Deffinately MONOPOLY
Amir says
I loved kickball because it’s an outdoor game and it was always fun!
Carol says
The best children’s game is a large cardboard box or a quilt made into a fort. Anything that encourages the use of their imagination. It is even better if they are doing it outside, since then they are also getting exercise.

I think that Othello is a great game as it is so easy to learn and fun to play…and can teach them to think several moves ahead (eventually)
Mike says
i want to win
Deborah says
When we were kids we played Parcheesi-a new variation on an ancient game. A great game to play with the whole family.
dianne says
Chutes and Ladders because it’s a fun starter game for all ages.
Mary says
Honestly, I think one of the best ‘games’ for children is chess! Children can pick up the rudimentary idea of chess at a fairly young age (say 5) and it teaches valuable skills such as patience, problem solving skills, planning, and such. It also stimulates them to think without electronic distractions. My children are decently adept at chess and love it, and are excellent students, too.
Carol says
Indoors, I’d say Monopoly, because we can all play together, and outdoors, the kids always love Hide and Seek because it’s fun, and there are always new places to hide.
desiree says
thanks
Amber says
Chutes and Ladders is the best children’s game of course – for no other reason than my brothers and I used to play every day as kids!
Alicia says
I think Monopoly is the best game because it encourages competitive skills as well as delayed gratification, both of which are becoming increasingly important.
Sandy says
yahtzee because its easy to roll, fast to play- fast to take on the go, and they learn how to match and count
Marilyn says
I think the best childrens game is pick-up sticks because it teaches flexibility and concentration
Linda says
Mousetrap
Ann says
Candyland. I liked it as a kid and now my daughter likes it also
tung says
monopoly – it’s a game that changes and challenges as children age.

Denyse says
Candyland has always been an all time favorite.
Margaret says
My kids love Clue. They love the mystery of trying to solve the clues. Thanks so much.
Thomas says
Clue is an excellent game for children. It teaches them strategy, problem solving in the form of deduction, and there’s the adult subject matter…
