Average Rating:	Enchanted April [1991] starring: Josie Lawrence, Miranda Richardson, Alfred Molina, Neville Phillips, Jim Broadbent directed by: Mike Newell February 03, 2003 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£13.50
Not particularly for Lethal Weapon fans but a lovely gentle unfolding of a gentle story. It begins in a damp depressing London and end up in beautiful Italy. People, as well as the scenery are transformed and the memorable performances of Polly Walker and Miranda Richardson make for a memorable cinamatic experience. Buy the movie, you'll want to watch it more than once (or twice!). >>More Details

Average Rating:	Fairy Tale - A True Story [1998] starring: Harvey Keitel, Jason Salkey, Peter O'Toole, Lara Morgan, Adam Franks directed by: Charles Sturridge October 19, 1998 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£0.01
What a charming film with the late great Bob Peck. I knew nothing about this film, even though it was shot near where I come from in Keighley, until I read about it in MADE IN YORKSHIRE. It is also based on true events which happened in Yorkshire. I had thought it must be dire otherwise I would have heard about. How wrong I was. Was it shown in the cinema ? I have a job tracking it down but found a copy in the Keighley lending library. Check it out as its well worth watching. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Brideshead Revisited [1981] starring: Anthony Andrews, Phoebe Nicholls, Diana Quick, Jane Asher, Simon Jones April 08, 2002 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£2.99
I have recently acquired the DVD edition of the series, and having just watched the first episode, "ET IN ARCADIA EGO", I cannot understand why some of the reviews express disappointment about it's quality. I bought the beautifully packaged six video box set, released by Vestron Video International, in the mid 1980's (which I still have) - and the quality of the DVD edition is, in my opinion, equally as good. Additionally it, too, is beautifully and ornately packaged. As for those who equate it to portable T.V's in coalmines - well, I think you should perhaps have not allowed Sebastian to have persuaded you to have drunk so much Cointreau. I'm off to see the ivy! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Prospero's Books [1991] starring: John Gielgud, Michael Clark (VII), Michel Blanc, Erland Josephson, Isabelle Pasco directed by: Peter Greenaway April 12, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£12.99
I must admit I don't like Greenaway as a rule, and I find Prospero one of Shakespeare's least appealing characters. But this film is quite extraordinary in all sorts of respects. Nyman's music is fantastic, and used here to good effect (Nyman didn't think so, and broke up with Greenaway as a result, but that's his problem). Ditto Sarah Leonard's singing. An ancient Gielgud is splendid as Prospero. Michael Clark's performance as Caliban has to be seen to be believed. The visuals are unlike anything else you have ever seen. (What sort of casting agency can come up with about 100 people aged from about 5 to about 80, all naked for all of the time? Perhaps they are the members of a naturist club? They play the "spirits" of the island.) The idea of focusing on the Books ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Brave New World starring: Peter Gallagher, Leonard Nimoy, Tim Guinee, Rya Kihlstedt, Sally Kirkland directed by: Larry Williams, Leslie Libman February 28, 2000 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£16.00
Leslie Libman and Larry Williams' movie "Brave New World", which was originally written by Aldous Huxley, is about a "savage" named John in a utopian society in which mankind seems to live without any problems or issues. John is thrown in to that lifestyle but starts questioning it, not feeling comfortable with the idea of designing humans, not being in love with one another or taking free drugs so no one starts questioning things. The directors did not leave the story unedited. A good example is the very first chapter, in which important information are revealed to the READER. The VIEWER is not given those facts about cloning and designing humans in the Brave New World. Furthermore, in the end, John does not kill himself - he "accidentally" trips and fells off of a cliff. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? [1967] starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal, Sandy Dennis, Frank Flanagan directed by: Mike Nichols June 22, 1998 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£10.00
The movie is a 1966 film adaptation of the play of the same name by Edward Albee. It was the first film directed by Mike Nichols, and starred Elizabeth Taylor as Martha and Richard Burton as George, with George Segal as Nick and Sandy Dennis as Honey.The film version differs slightly from the play. The play features only four characters, while in the film there are two other minor characters George, a disillusioned academic, and Martha, his caustic wife, have just come home from a faculty party. When a handsome young professor and his mousy wife stop by for a nightcap, an innocent night of fun and games quickly turns dark and dangerous. Long-buried resentment and rage are unleashed as George and Martha turn their rapier-sharp wits against each other, using their guests as pawns in their verbal ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Schindler's List [1994] starring: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall directed by: Steven Spielberg April 12, 2004 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£0.28
In telling Schindler's story the director chose black and white and the beginning intimates that it might be in the great tradition of 'The Third Man' etc. Unfortunately the film meanders astray into detailed descriptions of the holocaust and the dynamic of the film is lost. Instead of a tense 1 hour 50 minutes of cunning,guile and threat there are literal hours when almost everything is 'spelt out' in many long takes and diversions. The great film techniques of suggestion and inference are little used as almost every action is shown literally and dramatic movement is lost to history lesson. It seems to me important that the dramatic 'backdrop' of any artistic production has to be understood and accepted for the story using that scenario to be successful and not 'told' as the film proceeds. Given the many favourable ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Pride and Prejudice (1995) starring: Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle, David Bamber, Crispin Bonham-Carter, Anna Chancellor directed by: Simon Langton October 16, 1995 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£0.67
Im only 17years old and i am obsessed with Jane Austen! Ive watched both versions of Pride and Prejudice as it's my favourite of the Austen collection. I think Keira was better for the character Elizabeth Bennet for certain, but i think Colin firth was amazing at playing darcey as i find him so sexy, but Matthew Macfadyen created more chemistry between them both! I think in the newer version you can see the tension between them both all the time and your just shouting at the tv coz you get frustrated at them both. I think the newer version is sooo much better without a doubt, but the older one if still very good. Id personally prefer the newer one!!!!! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Pride And Prejudice [1940] starring: Greer Garson, Laurence Olivier, Mary Boland, Edna May Oliver, Maureen O'Sullivan directed by: Robert Z. Leonard February 19, 2001 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£9.90
I hadn't seen this film since I was a child, and didn't have the highest expectations having heard throughly mixed comments surrounding it. I can honestly say that it was an absolutely lovely surprise. No, it isn't completely faithful to the novel, but neither is any other adaptation (not even the much loved 1995 version- I don't remember any scene in the novel where Darcy takes a bath or a dip in the lake), and it's true that the costumes are far more Civil War than English Regency, but this is one of the rare examples in which it doesn't really matter because it's just so charmingly done. Greer Garson is simply magnificent as Elizabeth Bennet- poised, intelligent, gracious and witty and is excellently matched by Laurence Olivier's Darcy. These two prove that you don't need a wet shirt to create sizzling chemistry. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Trainspotting [1996] starring: Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle directed by: Danny Boyle July 12, 2004 Best Selling > VHS > Drama		Used Price: Â£0.01
as someone from Edinburgh who lived and went to plenty of the places mentioned in Trainspotting i have to say read the book the book instead which has the full content and message rather than just a comic short hand for what was happening at the time. It made fashionista fools think that taking hard drugs was a nice activity and gave them kudos and brought in too many people too Edinburgh looking for that lifestyle. I have never managed it all the way through and think it is just an alternative advert for Britain for the naively trendy or people who misguided enough to think that the pathos and dark humor wasn't there to balance the story...great cast though and on the whole well acted but an overrated footnote to late 90's Britain >>More Details
