Average Rating:	Martin Chuzzlewit [1994] starring: Paul Scofield, Tom Wilkinson, John Mills, Peter Wingfield, Elizabeth Spriggs February 06, 1995		Used Price: Â£6.40
I had,until i saw this production of Martin Chuzzlewit by the BBC, never read the book. Being a devout reader of Charles Dickens novels, i don't know how this one escaped me. However,after viewing this superb,outstanding production,i was resolved to read the book. I did! All i can say is that the cast of characters in the production so closely resembled the ones in the book,it was as though Charles Dickens himself was present,overseeing and directing the operation.The characters stepped out of the book before the camera! Remakable! A masterpiece indeed and a triumph for the BBC! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Hobson's Choice [1954] starring: Charles Laughton, John Mills, Brenda De Banzie, Daphne Anderson, Prunella Scales directed by: David Lean July 03, 2000		Used Price: Â£5.99
For those who didn't know, and I was one of them, a Hobson's choice is a free choice, but where only one option is really available. At the end of Hobson's Choice, a fine, vulgar, poignant and very funny film directed by David Lean, this is what Henry Horatio Hobson faces. Elements of the plot are discussed. Hobson (Charles Laughton) is a prosperous shoe and boot merchant in the small town of Salford, England. The time is the 1880s. Hobson is a widower, a blusterer, a man accustomed to his comforts, his drink and his ease. He is, thanks to Laughton, larger than life, a man we can laugh at but not a man we'd probably want as a neighbor. He has three daughters. Maggie (Brenda De Banzie) is 30. She is, says her father, "a bit ripe" for ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Whistle Down The Wind [1961] starring: Alan Bates, Bernard Lee, Hayley Mills, Norman Bird, Elsie Wagstaff directed by: Bryan Forbes January 12, 1997		Used Price: Â£0.67
A truly lovely film, beautifully shot in black and white, and definitely an all time British classic from the early 60s. Hayley Mills leads a marvellous cast of some very talented and 'innocent' children who mistakenly believe a criminal on the run to be Jesus Christ. Perfectly scripted with some great dialogue after being sent to bed between the two sisters after discovering who they believe to be Jesus in the barn, and lots of 'typical' behaviour from children of that period, and from a time long gone... (more's the pity...) After viewing this movie, nobody should be under any illusion that children are better off with all their designer clothes, mobile phones, sophisticated toys, and all the protection ...

Average Rating:	Run Wild, Run Free [1969] starring: John Mills, Mark Lester, Gordon Jackson, Fiona Fullerton, Sylvia Syms directed by: Richard C. Sarafian March 04, 1996		Used Price: Â£14.95
One year after the blockbuster Oliver, Mark Lester is given this role as a boy who is mute or has lost the ability to speak since birth. Distanced from his parents (a mother who is unable to love him and a father who has lost patience) the boy befriends a white horse on the moors and follows it everywhere. John Mills encourages the young boy and becomes a fatherly figure showing him the beautiful wild countryside and moors and the animals that live there. Watch out for a young Fiona Fullerton. The film really plods along apart from one or two incidents before it builds to a climax where the horse falls into a bog and they struggle to pull it out, the young boy shocked and upset saves the day by uttering the horses name and shouts for it to get up. Really it ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Till We Meet Again - Vols. 1 and 2 [1989] starring: Michael York, Courteney Cox, Mia Sara, Lucy Gutteridge, Hugh Grant directed by: Charles Jarrott February 06, 1995		Used Price: Â£5.99
Connect the cliches and you could have written this one yourself. If it was intended as spoof of a "sweeping family saga", it was brilliant. I did have fun seeing the members of the cast before they became famous and in their defense, what could they do with lines like that? The bright spot was a very young Huge Grant who was totally satisfying as the sneering and supercillious stepbrother Bruno who collaborates with Nazis, robs and ruins his venerable family, insults his saintly stepmother and so much more. I'm embarrassed to admit that I watched all four hours. 'Till We Meet Again' actually is entertaining in its own perverse way and besides, its hard to look away from a train wreck. ...

Average Rating:	Great Expectations [1946] starring: John Mills, Valerie Hobson, Tony Wager, Jean Simmons, Bernard Miles directed by: David Lean March 20, 1998		Used Price: Â£0.88
WONDERFULL, I recently saw it on the big screen and even though I'd seen it many times before it is one of my favourite films, well into the Top 5. The only slight concern is that no way would the pretty Jean Simmons have turned into Valery Hobson. John Mills was very good but a little weedy compared to the excellent boy who played him as a young Pip. Finlay Currie was fantastic, so scary & even though he was a 'very naughty boy' we still like him, especially when he turns up on Pip's door one wet & windy night after his disappearing act , brurrr! So if you buy the DvD you'll not be disappointed, if you are then you is without soul or heart, 'Dear Boy!'. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Cats [1998] starring: Elaine Paige, John Mills, Ken Page, Rosemarie Ford, Michael Gruber directed by: David Mallet November 08, 1999		Used Price: Â£0.01
I have had this on video for years, and have watched it many many times, it's one of those musicals you can never get bored of. I had a dream to see this live, and my wish finaly came true last weekend and i got to see it live at the Theatre. What can i say but Wow! I didn't think it would be as good as the video, but i was wrong, the whole cast were fantastic, and really out done themselves. I recommend this musical to anyone,especially those people who love Cats. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Goodbye Mr Chips [1939] starring: Robert Donat, Greer Garson, Terry Kilburn, John Mills, Paul Henreid directed by: Sam Wood November 04, 1991		Used Price: Â£1.95
This is one of my all-time favourite films. The exquisite, and occasionally poignant, story of a public school teacher (Mr Chipping - played wonderfully by Robert Donat) who is brought out of his stuffy mediocrity by his new young wife. We share the harsh reality of life's tribulations, including the generations of boys that pass through the school and the many young men who eagerly go off to war, never to return. The supporting cast are really wonderful, particularly Greer Garson and Paul Henreid. This is a sentimental film, but truly heartwarming. Highly recommended. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Swiss Family Robinson [1960] starring: John Mills, Dorothy McGuire, James MacArthur, Janet Munro, Sessue Hayakawa directed by: Ken Annakin April 18, 1994		Used Price: Â£0.99
Walt Disney's hugely expensive adaptation of the classic tale of a family of castaways on a desert island maintains enough of a running thread not to seem too episodic even if it does drag a tad in places. There's not much sense of danger, despite the fact that the anaconda James MacArthur and Tommy Kirk wrestle with in one sequence turns out to be real - this is far too wholesome for that. The Robinsons are very much Disney's idea of the ideal All-American sixties family: the girls don't get to have any fun, unless you count girly stuff like dancing. Some of the animal scenes are a bit worrying 30 years on (such as the Great Danes attacking the tiger) and Kevin Corcoran is plain annoying, but for all that it remains an entertainingly old-fashioned adventure ...
