I remember watching this at the age of six, and being amazed at how well... amazing it is. Watch out for the bit on the motorway... it's very moving!

This is a different kind of season to the first with some absolutely brilliant moments.
If you can overlook the fact (something you always have to with 24) that all big events happen on the hour then you will love the way each episode leaves you begging to watch more. Classic episodes all the way through.
Again there are twists and turns in this series too, if season 1 didn't make you trust noone then this one surely will.

This is one of those genius crossover pieces, made for children but with such witty dialogue and wordplay it is probably more often rewatched by adults.
So if you want masked men, giants, scheming princes, cunning sicillians, spanish swordsmasters, six-fingered men, swooning damsels, cynical miracle workers, depraved torturers, speech-challenged priests, not to mention, rodents of unusual size, this is the film for you.
It is "inconceivable" you will come away from this movie without remembering a line or two.
the first 20 minutes of this film is mind blowing with the d-day beach landings where the soldiers just run into artillery fire and bombs it's so realistic it's frightning.
but then the action slows down has we follow the rescue mission , the cast all perform brilliantly and the "master" mr spielberg keeps us entertained throughout the journey but after the start to the film any other action scene's will obviously dissapoint.this film is a must buy for all war film fans just for the brutal battle scene's alone.

As the other reviewers have remarked, neither film can be faulted, they are both good old-fashioned adventure yarns which are sadly lacking in the present day. Zero sex or violence, just lashings of ginger beer, steam engines and good old public schoolboy accents.
What lets this release down is presentation. The Railway Children boasts an anamorphic widescreen print which, generally free of dirt, is lacking the full restoration it deserves. Where are the commentaries by the original children, or documentary on how the film was made? This film cries out for supplementary material but doesn't get it.
Swallows and Amazons features a full frame print, coverd in scratches, compression artifacts and is generally very grotty looking, clearly this ... Read More:

If you want to see everything that's good in this movie then go watch a nature film about Ireland on National Geographic. Watch this "Scarlett" only if you have strong nerves. This Joanne is no Vivien Leigh. The problem is that she is neither Scarlett. Terri Garber would have been much better. Her role as Ashton in "North and South" was very Scarlett-like.
The storyline of this movie has very little to do with the book, which was not a bad book, although not as good as GWTW. Also, this movie is supposed to be sequel of GWTW the movie, not GWTW the book, so how come Suellen all of a sudden have a family life with 3 children? I also missed Cat, she was lovely in the novel and was barely visible in the movie, although they picked a lovely little girl to play her ... Read More:

To me this is the best video Bernard released.Filmed at his own Embassy club in front of a sellout audience this is where he was at his funniest.
Yes he is very 'un pc' but as he used to say "they cant stop us laughing cos its all we got left"
Rude, crude and funny - you will love it.
Yes, it is a great life affirming movie with its heart firmly in the right place...BUT...personally I would have prefered not such a happy ending, or a very different kind of happy ending - I just feel that the miraculous turnaround of George's fortunes at the end, while rightly suggesting that all good deeds may be remembered, and returned in kind, missed a real chance to state that happiness didn't have to depend on material wealth at all - After all, when he was given his old life back, George's euphoric happiness was based soley upon his family and friends, regardless of his dire financial state! This was a real chance to bang the point home about the real dangers of capitalism, but it was totally spurned. Indeed, this ending almost suggested, after roundly attacking ... Read More:

I somehow got to the age of 47 without seeing this all the way through, and sat down to watch it with anticipation. However, I was a bit disappointed. Unlike Life Of Brian this is not really a film with a plot & characters. Rather a series of themed sketches. Like most sketch shows it is a mixture of hit & miss. Bits are indeed very funny, but while this style of humour was radical when the film came out it is all too common now and some of the weaker moments don't stand up so well. Of course it has a place in the pantheon of British comedy and I wouldn't discourage anyone from watching it, but for me it isn't a patch on Life of Brian, or even the Time Bandits.
