Average Rating:	Camelot [1967] starring: Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave, Franco Nero, David Hemmings, Lionel Jeffries directed by: Joshua Logan March 27, 2000		Used Price: Â£1.72
Sumptuous lavish but dreadfully over-long musical telling the story of King Arthur and his Round Table. Some very good songs here, and Richard Harris at his most handsome is in fine voice, but has some stiff competition from Franco Nero! The versatility and talents of Nero can be seen clearly here, when compared to his somewhat dark and brooding role in 'The Virgin And The Gypsy' that followed a couple of years later. Lionel Jeffries surpasses himself in yet another one of his fabulous character roles as King Pellinore. Nice musical this, but one really has to be in the mood to watch such a terribly long movie of three hours! >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Devils [1971] starring: Oliver Reed, Vanessa Redgrave directed by: Ken Russell August 13, 1990		Used Price: Â£7.98
This movie is no easier to sit through than it was when it was first released. It's a graphic, grim, horrific look at the confusion, superstition and religious frenzy that took place in a small French province during the reign of Louis XIII, when Cardinal Richelieu reigned supreme and "the Inquisition" had made its way from Spain. The Huxley novel and Whiting play from which it was adapted are well worth looking into, as both do more than adequate jobs at telling the same story. I believe this was Russell's finest effort, his perfect medium. It is a subject that calls for histrionic direction, of which Ken is the exemplar. He turned his actors and technicians loose and the result is emotional and graphic overload, but (and this is an exception ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Charge Of The Light Brigade [1968] starring: Trevor Howard, Vanessa Redgrave, John Gielgud, Harry Andrews, Jill Bennett directed by: Tony Richardson September 12, 1994		Used Price: Â£3.99
Even in its abused, neglected state (hence the four-star rating instead of five) Richardson's "Charge of the Light Brigade" is still a fantastic piece of cinema and a sadly overlooked classic in the same league as the wonderful "Oh, What a Lovely War". At a time when most modern young British directors regularly churn out terrible mockney gangster flicks, wet rom-coms or stagnant period dross it seems such a shame that this bold example of British cinema should suffer such a fate. Sir David Puttnam even recently stated how extremely angry he was that Light Brigade remains completely ignored as the quality piece of cinematic art that it obviously is. Richardson himself had planned this film as his masterpiece but became so disillusioned with the reaction ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Devils [1971] starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Dudley Sutton, Max Adrian, Gemma Jones directed by: Ken Russell September 08, 1997		Used Price: Â£11.65
This film deserves so much more credit for what it achieves from Huxley's original. While some of the performances are a little shakey, this film represents one of the great Oliver Reed's finest moments - he exudes power and sexuality as Grandier, and the film achieves some particularly powerful/disturbing moments in the depiction of the ergot-addled nunnery. HOWEVER... This film has truly been victimised by the censors and there is Still no DVD version available - surely with the garbage which the censors let through these days this film can be restored and re-released? >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Wind In The Willows [1995] starring: Alan Bennett, Michael Palin, Michael Gambon, Rik Mayall, James Villiers directed by: Dave Unwin October 13, 1997		Used Price: Â£0.67
A wonderfully written book that appeals to all ages and remains fresh after all these years. The story about the friendship between Badger, Ratty, Mole and Toad meanders gently along with a magical feel, nice touches of humour throughout while subtly mentioning the effects wrought on the countryside by modern technology. This doesn't detract in any way however from the fun of the book and you'll come back to it again and again. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Yanks [1979] starring: Richard Gere, Lisa Eichhorn, Vanessa Redgrave, William Devane, Chick Vennera directed by: John Schlesinger		Used Price: Â£2.91
War movies don't usually appeal to me but "Yanks" is truely a great film and it dosn't surprise me one bit that it was a box office hit back in 1979. It's a beautiful story with a great cast, both moving and funny at times and it even has a cameo from Lynne Perrie. So, even if you're not a fan of war movies, "Yanks" is still a classic piece of work which you have just got to see because I for one was pleasantly surprised when I purchased it. Highly Recommended! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Agatha [1979] starring: Dustin Hoffman, Vanessa Redgrave, Timothy Dalton, Helen Morse, Celia Gregory directed by: Michael Apted August 21, 2000		Used Price: Â£7.98
Imaginative and well-made speculation as to what may have happened to Agatha Christie during the 10 days in which she disappeared in December 1926. Vanessa Redgrave is not one of my favourite actresses but she is superb here, playing the aristocratic yet very diffident first lady of crime, ill-at-ease with her own success. Timothy Dalton also shows what a diverse actor he is with his role of the starchy Colonel Christie, wanting to divorce Agatha so that he can marry his secretary Nancy Neele. Dustin Hoffman puts in a fun and exuberant turn as the American journalist who tails Agatha to Harrogate. The solution to the mystery is a bit over-the-top, but the actors pull it off with style. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Gathering Storm [2002] starring: Albert Finney, Vanessa Redgrave, Jim Broadbent, Linus Roache, Lena Headey directed by: Richard Loncraine September 15, 2003		Used Price: Â£9.99
All performances in this film are remarkable, but especially Linus Roache stands out with a superb performance, as the man with a conscience, who made it possible for Winston Churchill to expose Chamberlains aid to Nazi Germany. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Wilde [1997] starring: Stephen Fry, Jude Law, Vanessa Redgrave, Jennifer Ehle, Gemma Jones directed by: Brian Gilbert July 17, 2000		Used Price: Â£0.69
Everything said by other reviewers about Wilde, Fry and this production are perfectly correct. Wilde has been covered several times in the past and each production tries to portray this complex man according to the standards of the time it is made. This production is no different. The BBC valiantly steers away from anything remotely genuinely sexual between the men. Which of course is what ruins the film. What is portrayed is largely wrong and the fact that Wilde was mostly involved on a platonic level is never properly developed. Why for example does the BBC always show him fully clothed in bed when his partner is naked? There is a need to dwell on the difference between lust and love between men and this just doesn't happen. They prefer the viewer to put their ... Read More: >>More Details
