Average Rating:	Hear My Song [1991] starring: Ned Beatty, Adrian Dunbar, Shirley Anne Field, Tara Fitzgerald, William Hootkins directed by: Peter Chelsom		Used Price: Â£14.45
It doesn't matter if you have never heard of this Irish tenor, or even like that kind of music, this is a marvelously warm film. Adrian Dunbar is a promoter of a club, in the UK, who normally books look-a-likes, however after several disasters he decides to find the man himself - Josef Locke (yes, this is the correct spelling). He travels to Ireland and after some searching he finally meets him and persuades him to come back and do one last performance. The reason for Josef being in Ireland is to avoid UK tax, of which he owes an undisclosed amount. With the UK police trying to catch him this is a more than pleasant caper. (And I bet you can't help humming the main theme, "Hear my song") PS Don't miss the cow and the well ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Saturday Night And Sunday Morning [1960] starring: Albert Finney, Shirley Anne Field, Rachel Roberts, Hylda Baker, Norman Rossington directed by: Karel Reisz April 07, 2003		Used Price: Â£12.50
A Brilliant film and about as British as they come. Filmed entirely on location in the midlands (Nottingham) at the beginning of the 1960s it documents the life of Arthur Seaton (Finney) and the pure drudgery of the working week where all there is to live for is the weekends; a time to get down the pub and binge drink and, at every opportunity, get to bed his friend's middle aged wife, Brenda. Powerful performances by all the cast, especially Finney who plays the part of Arthur with incredible vitality. It demonstrates how even 40 years ago there were individuals who were unashamedly amoral and against authority of any kind. This film is a classic and a piece of social history. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Stella Dallas [1937] starring: Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley, Barbara O'Neil, Alan Hale directed by: King Vidor December 30, 1996		Used Price: Â£4.99
Stella Dallas is a sad tale of a woman who wishes to get on in life but her working class background holds her back. However, the love she has for her only daughter is unrelenting until she finally realises the child will be best with the father. This is a heartbreaking moment and any mother will find it hard to hold back the tears. I love this movie and cry from beginning to end! Barbara Stanwyck is truly wonderful as the brash, no style, Stella! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Out On A Limb - Shirley MacLaine [1994] starring: Shirley MacLaine, Charles Dance, John Heard, Anne Jackson, Jerry Orbach directed by: Robert Butler October 10, 1994		Used Price: Â£20.99
I was very fortunate in being able to view "Out on a Limb" whilst visiting Germany earlier this year, on a spiritual visit to see Mother Meera. I found the story absolutely amazing and it gives an insight into things we don't understand and which a lot of people refus to accept. You need an open mind to view this film. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Rachel Papers [1989] starring: Dexter Fletcher, Ione Skye, Jonathan Pryce, James Spader, Bill Paterson directed by: Damian Harris February 10, 1992		Used Price: Â£4.49
This film is better than I remembered it. It's quite funny. Jonathan Pryce (Norman) is very amusing. It has the advantage of not being formulaic. Perhaps its being British helped it to avoid a cheesy ending being tacked on at the last minute. However, perhaps because it is based on a novel from the 1970s, it is not what I would think of a typical "1980s British film". Oh, the hair and the music are quite 1980s, and it is definitely set in the past. It dates to the era when one could, like Charles (Dexter Fletcher) and Rachel (Ione Skye) go to an art gallery and see a TIDY bed. The sense of place is more distinct than the sense of time. Our protagonist could almost be a younger relative of Hugh Grant's character ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Entertainer [1960] starring: Laurence Olivier, Brenda De Banzie, Roger Livesey, Joan Plowright, Alan Bates directed by: Tony Richardson		Used Price: Â£1.30
Laurence Olivier stars as a sleazy, third-rate music hall performer in 1960's "The Entertainer", one of the first and best films of the so called Free Cinema movement, and a movie that is somewhat neglected today (it should be better known). Based on a play by John Osborne, Olivier plays Archie Rice, a mediocre performer in grim seaside town theaters. His shows attract few people (early in the film, we see passersby sneering at the theater marquee that falsely advertises Archie as a television comedian). His father, Billy, was once a talented and successful comedian, but now he is just a cranky old man living with him and Archie's wife, the unstable Phoebe. Archie has three grown children, played respectively by Alan Bates, Albert Finney and Joan ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Patience [1982] starring: Donald Adams, Derek Hammond-Stroud, John Fryatt, Sandra Dugdale, Anne Collins directed by: Dave Heather August 29, 1994		Used Price: Â£2.64
Marvelous performances all around. Thhe soulful ladies scorn their "vulgar" soldiers to pursue the "ethereal" poet. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Beat Girl [1960] starring: David Farrar, NoÃ«lle Adam, Christopher Lee, Gillian Hills, Adam Faith directed by: Edmond T. GrÃ©ville April 27, 1998		Used Price: Â£14.75
I bought this DVD to replace my VHS edition of the film, but it is a very poor replacement. The picture quality is awful, a well worn print has been used without a care to quality. The DVD will be used as a collection filler, but any future viewings will be from my original VHS tape. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Peeping Tom [1960] starring: Karlheinz BÃ¶hm, Anna Massey, Moira Shearer, Maxine Audley, Brenda Bruce directed by: Michael Powell February 26, 1996		Used Price: Â£0.01
This is a strange movie about a man who was filmed constantly as a child and as he grew up by his father. Consequently, he now uses the camera himself - but for more sinister purposes! Though there are murders in this movie, it deals more with fear, shock and terror. Anna Massey stars as a young woman celebrating her 21st Birthday and gets to know whom she believes is just a fellow lodger to actually be her Landlord. Interesting piece of art from 1960. Stars Moira Shearer, Esmond Knight, Nigel Davenport, and Miles Malleson in an unusual role as 'dirty old man'! >>More Details

Average Rating:	If These Walls Could Talk [1996] starring: Demi Moore, Sissy Spacek, Cher, Anne Heche, Catherine Keener directed by: Cher, Nancy Savoca September 08, 1997		Used Price:
"If These Walls Could Talk" is one of the most didactic films you are likely to see, but given that there is no issue in contemporary America that is more polarizing than that of abortion it could well be that it is one of the least persuasive films you will see as well. Those who are pro-choice will see it as compelling, while those who are pro-life will see it as offensive, and those who have not made up their minds are too young to watch anything that originally aired on HBO. That is especially true of this film, which has a pair of scenes that will upset you regardless of gender or ideology. The conceit of "If These Walls Could Talk" is that three women, living in three different times in the past half-century but in the same house, find themselves ... Read More: >>More Details
