i have only ever seen "born free" just the once, which was a few years ago on T.V and i must say that i thoroughly enjoyed watching every moment of it. the part i loved the best was when elsa was released back into the wild and george and joy kept track of her for a few days just until they knew she wouldnt come to any harm. i am a musician myself and i must say that the music was absolutely awe-inspiring, beautifully written and very very moving, even to this day i still walk along to university singing "born free, as free as the wind blows". it is just an amazing thing of film history and has given me the idea to go to africa on safari!

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")
This was one of the best ever BBC dramas.
It made me smile but at the end it will make you cry!
It showed some of history that you would never know about unless you were
a true historian.
Everybody played their part well.
Worth watching again and again.

Like all Catherine Cookson's stories, 'The Secret' contains the perfect mixture of romance, tension and passion. This one is truly my favourite. It tells the story of Freddie Musgrave (played by Colin Buchanan aka Peter Pascoe)who's been living with and older woman ever since he was a young boy. They have a kind of love / mother-son relationship. Together they share a terrible secret which surfaces again when Belle, a young girl who also lives with them meets the charming Marcel. When they marry things start to go wrong and Freddie has to save Belle. A fascinating story for true romantics.

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

I first watched this drama when I was about 10 years old and thought it was fantastic. I then watched it again a few weeks ago, and was ultimately surprised that this was available to buy, I had no idea. I am definately going to buy it. Alex Kingston should definately be commended for her excellant performance as Moll, A great drama definately worth watching. I can almost guarantee that 90% of people will watch it again and again.

The Truman Show is consistantly clever, creative and funny. It's a film which everyone will enjoy as it has emotional moments, but ofcourse funny moments also. Jim Carrey really is at his best in this brilliant film.

This film was a childhood favourite for me. When mentioning the film to others, most people would say that they haven't had the chance to see it and have never even heard of it, which i feel is a great shame. It has some great actors and is a really good story line. When buying this film i wasn't sure if i would be spoiling the illusion that i had of it from when i was a child, but i was very pleased to find that i still enjoyed it as much as i did when i was a child, and have watched it many times since. Give it a go, you won't regret it.

Possibly one of the last British wartime films from a long forgotten age. The story is based around a Royal Air Force air sea rescue launch that is plagued with misfortune. Into the scene crashes a Lockheed Hudson with an officer carrying top secret plans. Everyone jumps to it and its full of old and familiar types, the chap who makes it, the SNCO who knows the score, the kind skipper who buys one, getting too close to the enemy Some of the scenes are fascinating, the Sea Otter picking up the German airman, the dockside at Mountbatten. It is a fascinating film if you have time to watch and how Michael Redgrave and the others were involved in such a low key film is pure mystery but it is good and good for a laugh - watch it get it - enjoy the black and ...

"How can he be a spy?" says Guy Burgess in Moscow, as he quotes the attitude of his former fellow British upper-class diplomats, "He goes to my tailor."
He's talking to Coral Browne, an Australian actress who was appearing as Gertrude in a Royal Shakespeare Company production of Hamlet in Moscow. It's 1958. She has visited Burgess in his drab apartment which he shares with his government-sanctioned male lover, an aging youth who speaks no English. Burgess has barely learned a few words of Russian. "I know what I've done to deserve him," he says, "but I don't know what he's done to deserve me."
Burgess, along with Kim Philby, Donald Maclean and Anthony Blunt comprised the Cambridge Four. They were a group of Cambridge undergraduates ... Read More:
