Average Rating:	Dr Who: The Dalek Collection (Dr Who And The Daleks & Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150AD + Dalekmania documentary) [1965] starring: Peter Cushing, Bernard Cribbins, Ray Brooks, Andrew Keir, Roberta Tovey directed by: Gordon Flemyng September 25, 2006		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £15.01 (75%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.50
This movie was designed to take advantage of the massive popularity of the Daleks in the 60's and due to various copyright reasons and alike there are quite a few discrepancies compared to the TV show. I found the first movie quite hammy, even for a 60's sci-fi, however the second movie was a vast improvement. I personally found the discrepancies a little off-putting, however for this price, any fans or people just being curious can't really go wrong. On the upside, Cushing would have been a great doctor and good to see an early Dr Who appearance from Bernard Cribbins. Also good lot of extras that are quite interesting. For me just 4 stars overall, 2 for the first movie, 4 for the second and 4 for the price. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Quatermass And The Pit [1967] starring: James Donald, Andrew Keir, Barbara Shelley, Julian Glover directed by: Roy Ward Baker November 13, 2006		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.97 You Save: £8.02 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.95
During excavations of Hob's Lane underground station, a mysterious object is discovered. The army led by the stubborn Colonel Breen(Julian Glover) believe it to be an unexploded bomb, Professor Bernard Quatermass isnt so sure, especially when he starts to dig into the history of the surrounding area, with reports of apparitions and other paranormal activity. Then the object cracks on the inside, and Quatermass's fears are proved right... This is a marvellous film, Hammer at the peak of their creative powers, assured direction by Roy Ward Baker, an excellent cast, and of course Nigel Kneale's inventive story coming to life. Its the Origin of the Species given an unearthly twist, with long dormant race memories resurfacing as the strange object is tampered ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Dracula - Prince Of Darkness [1965] starring: Christopher Lee, Andrew Keir, Barbara Shelley, Francis Matthews, Suzan Farmer directed by: Terence Fisher October 23, 2006		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£2.98 You Save: £10.01 (77%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.95
Two English couples holidaying in Transylvania fall foul of the mysterious count...'Dracula:Prince of darkness' isn't a bad film, it just lacks some of the 'gore and boobs' of the following sequels. It's certainly atmospheric, and the cast is excellent: Lee of course is good as Dracula, though his appearances are relatively few, Andrew Keir memorable as the Monsignor (witness the scene where he warms his backside by the inn fire!),Philip Lathom is creepy as Dracula's butler, Klove,and Francis Matthews is well cast as the hero;Thorley Walters makes a suitably gormless appearance as a fly eating madman, while Barbara Shelley transforms herself from a complaining old bat into one hot fangfaced fox indeed after falling victim to ol'red eyes. I love the scene where the ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Maggie starring: James Copeland, Hubert Gregg, Andrew Keir, Paul Douglas, Geoffrey Keen directed by: Alexander MacKendrick November 13, 2006		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.97 You Save: £5.02 (39%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Until recently I had never heard of The Maggie, and so was not expecting the film to be a match for Passport to Pimlico, The Ladykillers, Whisky Galore and so many others. Now that I have seen it, I am at a loss as to why it is not universally regarded as one of the Ealing all-time greats. The story concerns a wealthy American, Calvin B Marshall, played by Paul Douglas, who is trying to get his costly furniture and fittings transported from Glasgow to his new holiday home on the remote Western Isle of Kiltarra. Inadvertently, the contract is given to the most devious and dishonest captain in the coastal trade, MacTaggart, master of a barely seaworthy rustbucked of a puffer called the Maggie, which looks as if it will be lucky to make it out of the Clyde. As a result, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Rob Roy [1995] starring: Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, John Hurt, Tim Roth, Eric Stoltz directed by: Michael Caton-Jones February 01, 2000		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £11.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.57
This is certainly an enjoyable film and is not overblown. I came to the film with low expectations and was pleased that these were quelled. My only canard is the brief foray the film makes into the high politics of Jacobitism. The Duke of Argyll was only 33 in 1713, but in this film he's middle aged at least. As commander in chief in Scotland he was a strong Whig and thus anti-Jacobite. It would have been good to have seen Roy's ambiguous behaviour during the Fifteen, too, but that would have been another story. There's a degree of anti-Englishness in the film, but its not too blatant. However, though not a great film, it is an agreeable way to pass a couple of hours. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Absolution [2007] starring: Andrew Keir, Richard Burton, Billy Connolly directed by: Anthony Page May 07, 2007		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.97 You Save: £1.02 (17%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.77
A well-told story combined with superb acting and convincing characters. Certainly worth it. It's also interesting to watch Billy Connolly in a serious role - a challenge to which he rises. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Lord Jim [1965] starring: Peter O'Toole, James Mason, Curd JÃ¼rgens, Eli Wallach, Jack Hawkins directed by: Richard Brooks September 27, 2004		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £9.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.02
A strangely monotonous film that conspicuously fails to do justice to the Conrad novel. The steamy Southeast Asian settings are wonderful, and the star-studded cast includes tried and tested favourites of the day such as Peter O'Toole, Jack Hawkins, Eli Wallach, Kurt Jurgens and James Mason. But somehow the film never really takes off. It's far too long, the dialogue lurches between the impenetrable and the corny, and Peter O'Toole's intense-blue-eyed-gazing-into-space routine, which served him so well in Lawrence of Arabia, irritates more than it impresses. There are some good moments, such as the scenes of the storm-tossed ship Patna, and James Mason, sporting a short-brimmed black bowler hat of antique design, is splendid to behold in the role of Gentleman Brown. In general, however, this is ... Read More: >>More Details

i enjoy this film sooo much and feel that this is a very effective hammer film and works fantastically well. it is over the top on some scenes but nevertheless a gem in the hammer crown. i myself have watched countless times along with plague of the zombies/quatermass and the pit/dracula prince of darkness/the devil rides out(my favourite). recommend to everyone. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Cleopatra (3 Disc Special Edition) [1963] starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Pamela Brown, George Cole directed by: Darryl F. Zanuck, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Rouben Mamoulian April 15, 2002		Used Price: Â£13.00
As someone in my 30s I have a low tolerance for "old" movies often seen as "classics", "masterpieces" by everyone else. Such words are all too frequently used today and seldom with any credible justification. But not in the case of 'Cleopatra'; such words insult this film, for they do not say enough, they are so inadequate. After watching this movie twice on digital tv's Film4 channel, and despite its incredible length of over 4 HOURS, I would gladly watch it over and over again. I would never tire of it. Just as I never tire of watching the LOTR trilogy all the way through, I know great films when I see them. Indeed truly great films are to be savoured, and 'Cleopatra' is no exception. I could go on, enthusing about this film's magnificent set-pieces, its spectacular and detailed set ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Doctor Who Collector's Edition - Doctor Who And The Daleks / Daleks Invasion Earth - 2150 AD [1965] starring: Peter Cushing, Bernard Cribbins, Ray Brooks, Andrew Keir, Roberta Tovey directed by: Gordon Flemyng July 29, 2002		Used Price: Â£23.99
This 1965 film and it's 1966 sequel "Daleks-Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.".Were made cheaply and quickly to capitilise on the immense success the Daleks were having on the kids of Britain at that time.(Myself included) You could buy Dalek toys,sweets,wallpaper,Pyjamas and slippers, sounds familiar doesn't it? The reason the Doctor was changed to an eccentric "Professor type" from an Alien were for reasons of simplicity. At that time the Doctor Who TV show was not playing in as many countries as it is now, so no complicated and time consuming Back story would be needed, and it made audience identification that much easier with the various members of the cast. ~~~~ The producers,(New Yorker's)Subotsky and Rosenberg approached the BBC to see if they could use the TV show's ...
