VHS : It's A Wonderful Life [1946]

It's A Wonderful Life [1946]


starring: James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell, Henry Travers
directed by: Frank Capra
November 28, 2005
Best Selling > VHS > Drama

Forget the caricature, this film involves disappointment, loss, failure and at one point even shows a man on the edge of suicide.

It sketches out the life of one man- a normal man, an unimportant man, whose actions facilitate the success of other men, whose kindness enables other men and women to thrive, and ultimately he is rewarded for those acts of kindness with love and respect. It is unusual in that the film is quite dark- the man who does all this is left fairly bereft for a lot of the film, we see his sacrafice at its most poignant- though we also see how it has brought him the love of a woman- we see him think that there is no point to his life lived for others. The film also offers no punishment but significantly no redemption ... Read More:

VHS : Who Will Love My Children [1983]

Who Will Love My Children [1983]


starring: Ann-Margret, Frederic Forrest, Cathryn Damon, Donald Moffat, Lonny Chapman
directed by: John Erman

Best Selling > VHS > Drama

This is a film about a mother who discovers she has inoperable cancer and has to find good homes for all her many children. Her husband, though well-meaning, is a hopeless drunkard totally unable to cope or to help much. They live in a house far from town, somewhere in "Darkest America", I think Iowa or Michigan (not sure about that). The story takes one up and down, through all sorts of trauma and eventually comes up with as happy an ending as possible under the trying circumstances. The last ten minutes keep you guessing as it seems one child (quite normal save for mild epilepsy) looks like being abandoned alone in a state orphanage...this is a 5-star tearjerker and a half! Great film though and not schmaltzy at all, really, bearing in mind the subject ... Read More:

VHS : Nuts In May [1976]

Nuts In May [1976]


starring: Roger Sloman, Anthony O'Donnell, Sheila Kelley, Eric Allan, Stephen Bill
directed by: Mike Leigh

Best Selling > VHS > Drama

I had never heard of this film, but I first watched it a couple of years ago and it blew me away. This is now firmly establised as one of my favourite films of all time. Whilst I know that many people will not understand the film, I now actually judge people on whether they like this film or not. I have changed my views on my own friends through watching this superb film. People who do not like this film are simpleton's in my view, and example of this is my friend Wikey. He does not like this film, and therefore I like him less as I know his brain does not have enough capacity to understand the subtle humour this film provides.

It is best to watch this film when you are slightly tipsy, and it always gets me howling with laughter. The funniest ... Read More:

VHS : Brief Encounter [1945]

Brief Encounter [1945]


starring: Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard, Stanley Holloway, Joyce Carey, Cyril Raymond
directed by: David Lean
January 29, 2001
Best Selling > VHS > Drama

A beautiful love story between two married people who encounter a chance meeting at a railway station. What follows is battle of emotions and morals as they struggle to come to terms with their feelings for each other.

In todays society, its very difficult for people to relate to just how frowned upon such an affair would have been back then - such things seem to be common place nowadays. If viewed with this in mind, then Brief Encounter is a truely classic love story, and one of the best British films ever made.

You know this classic story by now of the boy who asked for more...Oliver Twist played touchingly in the best version on celluloid by Mark Lester...He is one of many workhouse orphans lead by the authoritarian Mr Bumble (Harry Secombe) who decides to sell Oliver to a local Funeral Director in the form of (Leonard Rossiter) of Rising Damp fame. Oliver escapes from here after a fight only to find himself making his way to 19th Century London where he befriends "The Artful Dodger" (Jack Wild) a steetwise pick pocket who takes Oliver for shelter to the affable professional pick pocket Fagin (Ron Moody) whose role probably will be remembered for a most fantastic performance. Here Oliver comes to know Fagin in an touching way.Oliver learns of his past with fate determining ... Read More:

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

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

Good night Mister Tom my review

I would like to recommend, Goodnight Mister Tom because it's a very emotional story.
When I watched the DVD it was a thoroughly enjoyable and a good range of specialist language.
Based on the World War 2 time.

The charters are Tom, Willie, Zach, Sammy the dog, Mum and mrshartridge. Willie meets a boy called Zach but sadly Zach died because a Germans bomb. Willie's mum died because she drowned her, she was a mental women.

This DVD made you feel that you were there. Mister Tom helps Willie by buying him a book and pen. Willie was getting hit by his mum, for doing absolutely nothing.

My best part of the DVD was when Willie learned to ride a bike.

VHS : Love Actually [2003]

Love Actually [2003]


starring: Rowan Atkinson|Colin Firth|Laura Linney
directed by: Richard Curtis
March 19, 2004
Best Selling > VHS > Drama

Although it doesn't quite work, it's definitely worth watching. Some great performances. Could have cut a few of the stories out completely though. Should have focused on Colin Firth, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. The rest weren't really worth it although the Laura Linney storyline was moving. I cried a little and laughed a little, and I guess it kept me more engaged than most films I see.
Actually, the absolute best thing about this film is Lynden David Hall singing at the wedding at the beginning. He died a couple of years ago and it was a shock - but a beautiful one - to see him in the film, I had no idea! Beautiful man with a beautiful voice. RIP.
