Average Rating:	Day Of The Jackal [1973] starring: Edward Fox, Terence Alexander, Michel Auclair, Alan Badel, Tony Britton directed by: Fred Zinnemann August 11, 2003		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £12.01 (75%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.25
Wow. They don't make 'em like this any more. DOTJ is one of the best movies ever made, helped in no small part by the first class Frederick Forsyth story. The Jackal is the infamous English assassin, a cold unsympathetic man who can feign charm to help him on his journey to killing Charles de Gaulle.This isn't a Whodunnit, of course. It's a thrill-of-the-chase yarn as the French police race to find their suspect and protect a President who refuses to change his schedule in the face of the threat. This may sound like an oxymoron, but there is a simple glamour to the settings: the scenic drive around the Cote D'azur, the huddled streets in Rome and the elegance of Paris are never overstated and exist in the story as mere flashes of ...

Average Rating:	Our Man In Havana starring: Alec Guinness, Maureen O'Hara, Burl Ives, Ernie Kovacs, Noel Coward directed by: Carol Reed December 26, 2005		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £7.02 (54%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£6.45
What a treat! Here we have one of the UK's finest twentieth century actors (Alec Guinness) starring in a story by one of the UK's finest twentieth century novelists (Graham Greene). It also stars Burl Ives, Ralph Richardson and Maureen O'Hara. This is a light-hearted black-and-white comedy (Greene called it an 'entertainment') about Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman, recruited into espionage by Secret Service agent Hawthorne (Noel Coward). Wormold needs the money to finance his daughter's expensive tastes, especially with horses, but quickly finds himself out of his depth when expected to find further recruits at his country club. He files false reports and supplies drawings of non-existent secret weapons, based on vacuum cleaner designs. The ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	84 Charing Cross Road [1986] starring: Anne Bancroft, Jean De Baer, Daniel Gerroll, Anthony Hopkins, Eleanor David directed by: David Jones May 20, 2002		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £14.02 (70%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Authors are fond of saying that the written word can take people anywhere, thinking no doubt of the intense relationship that a reader can have with an engaging author's writing. 84 Charing Cross Road explores a different dimension of how the written word travels: the role of correspondence, a virtually lost art today. The movie deftly displays how you can share your heart with someone you've never met. The movie is based on 20 years of actual correspondence between New York author Helene Hanff and Frank Doel, the manager of a small London book store. Hanff's in-your-face New York energy and candor are what make the exchange meaningful to viewers. Hanff is a $40 a week script reader as the movie begins but has an affection for British ...

Average Rating:	Shout at the Devil [1976] starring: Lee Marvin, Roger Moore, Barbara Parkins, Maurice Denham, Ian Holm directed by: Peter R. Hunt April 02, 2007		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.97 You Save: £2.02 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Shout at the Devil is a super adventure film but ......... this version at 115 mins is too short! Why was it cut from the 144 mins of the original release? Why to many scenes are lost, making the story difficult to follow. Still a good purchase. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Edward And Mrs Simpson starring: Edward Fox, Cynthia Harris, Peggy Ashcroft, Maurice Denham, Marius Goring directed by: Waris Hussein July 04, 2005		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £12.01 (60%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Edward and Mrs Simpson was first shown on ITV decades ago. The DVD version could have been more seamlessly edited, instead of separating the parts divided on TV by advertisements, but that is a minor criticism of a very well-made and most enjoyable series that earned Edward Fox (who plays Edward VIII) a BAFTA award. The story is a tragedy, treating its characters sympathetically. The emotion and tension builds up to a moving climax just before the very end, and then falls away in a way that confirms the tragic nature of the story. Highly recommended. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Curse of the Demon + Night of the Demon (Ws) [1958] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, Niall MacGinnis, Maurice Denham, Athene Seyler directed by: Jacques Tourneur August 13, 2002		Used Price: Â£12.79
The 1958 British film 'Night of the Demon' directed by Jacques Tourneur is a well-paced and creepily atmospheric masterpiece of the macabre; adapted and expanded from the wonderful short story 'Casting the Runes' by MR James, the film captures a marvellous ambience of the supernatural and the malign as the hapless but pugnacious Doctor Holden, played by the lantern-jawed Dana Andrews, tries to keep his scepticism intact for as long as he can whilst being pursued by the cacodaemoniac doom unleashed upon him by the vengeful black magician Julian Karswell who has slipped him the fatal rune-inscribed parchment. Niall McGinnis' charismatic and smooth-talking Karswell is simply masterly. I love this theme of rationalistic unbelief confronted by the perilous reality of the ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	H.M.S. Defiant [1962] starring: Alec Guinness, Dirk Bogarde, Maurice Denham, Nigel Stock, Richard Carpenter directed by: Lewis Gilbert March 18, 2002		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.97 You Save: £15.02 (75%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.75
Anyone who likes iron men fighting in wooden ships against the French, with the roar of cannon and splinters flying everywhere, will enjoy the last half of Damn the Defiant!. Whether you enjoy the first half depends on how well you appreciate the almost psychopathic cruelty and condescension of First Lieutenant Scott-Padget (Dirk Bogarde). It's 1797, Napoleon threatens Britain, and only the Royal Navy ensures Britain's freedom. Captain Crawford (Alec Guinness) takes command of H.M.S. Defiant, a single-gun-deck frigate. Also joining the ship is Scott-Padget, an officer with friends in high places, a talent for seamanship, and a taste for flogging. While Crawford is determined to keep an open mind about his first lieutenant, it becomes quickly apparent that Scott ... Read More: >>More Details

Ain't dat da' truth, Ruth! While this may not be as downright creepy as a few other Amicus anthology creep-fests it is certainly not what "May West" described! I don't know which film he/she was watching, but in this film a well-disguised group of creepy sociopaths enter the Carny sideshow tent of a flagrantly creepy "Dr.Diabolo", (one of the many names for "Satan"), and following his "regular performance" they're each given the opportunity to pay for a glance into their future, (* "Diabolo" burns the cash directly after collecting it!) But it's all just a "forewarning" of the inner evil that lurks within their hearts, and souls, and minds. The evil they've all managed to keep hidden from the rest of the world, (as all sociopaths do with a lifetime of acquired skills!) So, "Diabolo" ... Read More: >>More Details
