Average Rating:	The Quiet Man [1952] starring: John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen directed by: John Ford October 01, 1999		Used Price: Â£0.01
This St. Patrick’s Day my wife and I decided to build a fire and enjoy this Irish classic. The music, the scenery, the story line and the dialogue ensure its enduring status. A real test of a work of art is whether the viewer keeps finding something new in it time after time. “The Quiet Man “ meets this test. This time I was impressed by the cultural tension between the Americanism of Sean Thornton (John Wayne) and the Irishness of the other characters, something which I had not picked up on so keenly in past viewings. Whether you are ready for your first or fiftieth viewing, “The Quiet Man” will always be a treat. >>More Details

Average Rating:	How Green Was My Valley [1941] starring: Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, Anna Lee, Donald Crisp, Roddy McDowall directed by: John Ford May 03, 1994		Used Price: Â£5.00
Richard Llewellyn's poignant, nostalgic novel "How Green Was My Valley" appeared in 1939. Hollywood was quick to work on a film adaptation, requiring a top director and producer, the recreation of a Welsh mining village in California, assembling a Welsh male choir and all the other essential requirements. Its success might be measured by the swag of academy awards and nominations it received, triumphing over such contenders for best picture as "Citizen Kane" and "The Maltese Falcon". There is an appeal to the heart here. Homely, sturdy values and speech idioms of long ago are displayed in their best light. There is also an appeal to the mind. Political issues are examined, as are the effects of capitalization, worker exploitation ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Going My Way [1944] starring: Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald, Frank McHugh, James Brown, Gene Lockhart directed by: Leo McCarey February 07, 2000		Used Price: Â£1.35
This film is truly wonderful to watch. Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald play wonderfully off each other throughout the film. It is easy to see why each came away with an Oscar from the film. It is a film that is much maligned, but for anyone who enjoys a film with a good story, top notch performances and the absolute pleasure of Barry Fitzgerald then buy this film and simply enjoy a film from an age gone by! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Happy Ever After [1954] starring: David Niven, Yvonne De Carlo, Barry Fitzgerald, George Cole, A.E. Matthews directed by: Mario Zampi February 24, 1992		Used Price: Â£29.50
This is in the mould of, and as good as, The Titfield Thunderbolt. There are many priceless gems in it, and it is ONE OF THE BEST COMEDIES EVER MADE - just look at the cast list. To mention just a few of the visual gags - the old chauffeur missing the bridge and driving through the ford; the sports car driving clear under the strategically stretched wire rope; George Cole fainting; "all good things must come to an end" - "so does your job, you're fired"; and the final scene! From the price of the VHS, it looks as though it is becoming rarer. Can someone PLEASE bring out a DVD version before it is too late. >>More Details

Average Rating:	San Demetrio, London [1943] starring: Arthur Young, Walter Fitzgerald, Ralph Michael, Neville Mapp, Barry Letts directed by: Charles Frend, Robert Hamer September 17, 2001		Used Price: Â£4.99
San Demetrio London, was a world war Two sea story that I first read about in my teens and then I saw the film at a school cinema club and found it even more interesting. It's the true story of a remarkable incident in the Battle of The Atlantic, when a blazing, abandomed tanker is re-boarded by 15 of her crew, and then follows their heroic efforts which end in them bringing her back to port. This is one film worth watching again and again. I was extremely pleased to find it on Amazon. But sadly only currently on video. It is one film I sincerely hope will make to DVD, for it deserves a wider audience! definitely worth 5 stars in my estimate. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Odd Angry Shot [1979] starring: Graham Kennedy, John Hargreaves, John Jarratt, Bryan Brown, Graeme Blundell directed by: Tom Jeffrey August 15, 1994		Used Price: Â£80.00
Such a shame this film is not available in DVD format. I haven't seen a film so exact to context for a long time. It captures the reality of the infantry man's war from total boredom to adrenyline packed action so well. Not only that, but the posture, fieldcraft and communications are authentic - not to mention the uniforms, armoury and sound track of weoponology - the unmistakable sound of the SLR, AR16 and AK 47 excites vivid memories! The last action sequence of White Phosphorous grenade knocking out the VC strongpoint, however unpalatable demonstrates the brutality and savageness of war to the 'civvy' and the sad matter of fact to the ex-serviceman. It commemorates the 'PBI' of all nations so well. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Bringing Up Baby [1938] starring: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Charles Ruggles, Walter Catlett, Barry Fitzgerald directed by: Howard Hawks January 12, 1998		Used Price: Â£0.07
I have seen this many times but the humour never wears off. Possibly the most effective pairing of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn (I have not seen all of their films together). Hepburn is wonderfully eccentric as Susan Vance and Grant's Dr. David Huxley is ever so funny. Even when I am not watching, the thought of him in those clothes (after Susan takes away his normal ones) makes me laugh. It is impossible to choose a favourite scene as they are all brilliant, whether at the golf course, hotel, country house, etc. The film represents the genre at its best and jokes are wittily scripted, unlike modern day comedies that more often than not, use sex, bodily functions and strong language to supply the laughs. All I can say is: they don't make 'em like this anymore. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Fantastic Voyage [1966] starring: Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, Arthur O'Connell directed by: Richard Fleischer July 06, 1998		Used Price: Â£0.95
This is a movie that has played tricks in my memory over the years. I first saw this when I was a child, and for some reason recall a much more exciting journey with lots more happenings, including a much longer passing through a beating heart - which doesn't actually happen at all, and so I guess the memory really does play some giant tricks with the passage of time! I guess many young people may be very critical of this film, since nowadays there are so many much more advanced and sophisticated special effects. However, for its day, this was quite brilliant! A group of Experts climb into a submarine and are 'miniaturised' and sent on a mission inside a human body to repair some damage to the patient's brain - a fantastic voyage ...
