Average Rating:	The Addams Family [1991] starring: Barry Sonnenfeld\|Anjelica Huston\|Raul Julia\|Christopher Lloyd June 01, 1998		Used Price: Â£2.83
I'm pretty sure the last time I saw this film I must have been less than 6 years old, and now over 13 years later, I caught this film on TV and decided to re-visit the family that, I have been told, as a kid I not only adored watching on film but on the cartoon tv series too. Well, what can I say - I'm sure this stuff must have had some sort of diverse effect on my mental well-being as a child, and I can say honestly had an effect on my sense of humour - I find this kind of stuff hilarious. Don't get me wrong, this film isn't great by any stretch of the immagination. The plot is horrifically predictable, the film just isn't very exciting, never seeming to go anywhere, never raising my excitement or getting me personally involved. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Witches [1989] starring: Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling, Jasen Fisher, Jane Horrocks, Anne Lambton directed by: Nicolas Roeg October 10, 1994		Used Price: Â£2.50
I watch this film even when the kids aren't around, its a superb film from beginning to end if you're aged 4 or 94. Its a little frightening in places but not too bad for small children. The make-up is fantastic and Anjelica Huston plays the best witch on screen since the Wizard Of Oz....really powerful and evil. I won't spoil the ending but its clever funny and they all get their just desserts 'so to speak'. One of Rowan Atkinsons better parts, Jane Horrocks' cameo role is delightful. You get the feel that this is exactly how Roald Dahl would have wanted the film to be like - full marks !!! >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Dead [1987] starring: Anjelica Huston, Donal McCann, Dan O'Herlihy, Donal Donnelly, Helena Carroll directed by: John Huston July 01, 2002		Used Price: Â£2.99
Certainly one of the greatest and most beautiful films ever made, and this is also one of the most outstanding films of modern movie making - and quite remarkable in that it was made as recent as 1987! This gem opens like a Christmas Card, and has the appearance and style of a movie that could have been made many years ago! I remember seeing this for the first time when the only way to get to see a new movie was to rent it from a Video Store (before you could buy them) My mother and I had selected this title - not knowing why. We watched it together and you could hear a pin drop! I couldn't wait to purchase it when it came on general release! So many of the cast is outstanding that it is difficult to name who is ...

Average Rating:	Lonesome Dove - Parts 1, 2 And 3 [1988] starring: Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Diane Lane, Robert Urich directed by: Simon Wincer June 22, 1992		Used Price: Â£14.00
One of the great Westerns, albeit this time on the small screen not the large, this is a movie about aging in a decent way. As much as the characters age, this is also a pivotal time for the genre of the Western itself, predicting the rise of the revisionist Westerns (Dances with Wolves, Unforgiven et al) at a time when no-one was interested in Westerns at all. As such, the message of growing old in the face of adversity while keeping values intact is striking and as relevant as ever. So what makes it work? First, the epic scope of Larry McMurty's book which fits 6 hours of television so much better than it would have squeezed into a theatrical movie. It breathes, takes its time and introduces characters in what at first feels a long drawn out way, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	A Handful Of Dust [1988] starring: James Wilby, Kristin Scott Thomas, Rupert Graves, Anjelica Huston, Judi Dench directed by: Charles Sturridge September 08, 1997		Used Price: Â£1.22
A great adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel about self absorbed people in relationships but oblivious to their partners feeling to the point of sadistic cruelty. I wanted to kick Tony Last (James Wilbey) as he placidly accepts his wife's sudden decision to have a London flat, study economics whilst he remains in his beloved country house. Brenda Last (Kristin Scott Thomas) is of course having an affair with frankly boring self seeking penniless John Beaver (Rupert Graves), supported by his rather nasty mother (Judi Dench). Highly recommended and absorbing film about people you would never want to know. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Barbie As Rapunzel starring: Kelly Sheridan, Anjelica Huston, Cree Summer, Ian James Corlett, Mark Hildreth directed by: Owen Hurley September 30, 2002		Used Price: Â£0.01
I bought this because my little girl loves the story of Rapunzel but this was nothing like the original story. Yes she has long hair and yes her name is Rapunzel but that is it. She did enjoy watching it but Rapunzel it is not. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Postman Always Rings Twice [1981] starring: Jack Nicholson, Jessica Lange, John Colicos, Michael Lerner, John P. Ryan directed by: Bob Rafelson May 18, 1998		Used Price: Â£4.88
This is not the sort of film I like to watch and the first time I saw it it left a bad taste in my mouth and even made me bad-tempered. Except for the sex scene in the kitchen that is. That left me feeling awe and admiration. I was convinced from the start that here I was one of the finest things ever seen on film - a ten minute work of art in itself, comparable, on different grounds, to anything that Manny Farber had ever singled out from it's context. Since then I have been compelled to admire the sheer craftsmanship with which the film is put together - it's tone, texture, pace, editing, acting, everything. Anyone reasonably versed in literature could hardly fail to recognise that this is a re-working of 'Macbeth' and 'Therese Raquin' with the new ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Prizzi's Honor [1985] starring: Jack Nicholson, Kathleen Turner, Robert Loggia, John Randolph, William Hickey directed by: John Huston October 30, 2000		Used Price: Â£0.01
So many of the laughs in Prizzi's Honor come from the plot twists (most of them included in the film's trailer, conspicuous by its absence on this DVD) that it's best not to go into it knowing too much. The fact that I'd forgotten so many of them is perhaps why I enjoyed it so much more the second time around. It's a civilized entertainment - perhaps a little too civilized at times, although William Hickey's deathly white vampiric Don gives a whole new meaning to the phrase Cookie Monster - elegantly made and plotted, which wasn't so rare in 1985 but these days is a positive novelty. Jack Nicholson's hamming it up again, but not as much as usual as the luckless Mafia enforcer who meets the woman of his dreams only to discover she's ripped off the family. His comparative restraint ... Read More: >>More Details
