Average Rating:	Ghost In The Shell [1995] starring: Atsuko Tanaka, Iemasa Kayumi, Akio Ã”tsuka, Tamio Ã”ki, KÃ´ichi Yamadera directed by: Mamoru Oshii May 13, 1996 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.01
`Ghost in the Shell' and `Akira' are often hailed as something of a turning point for Japanese Animated film - it's grown up, articulate, deep. When you watch this DVD, if it's the first time you've seen the film then much of what you see feels familiar. And that's not surprising considering this has embedded itself deep into film culture - take the opening credits for example and you'll see the direct influence on American thought-provoker - the Matrix. This film presents concepts which take some thinking about to fully understand, definitely a film to be watched twice. This feels more like a live action film than anime, and that's not all down to the beautifully detailed artwork, it's due to the realistic feel of ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Eraserhead [1976] starring: Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates, Judith Roberts directed by: David Lynch April 12, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£3.99
Why use a lot of words to describe a motion picture that visualizes the subconscious? Suffice it to say that this is still David Lynch's best. An oneiric odyssey, the sort of troubling, never-ending dream one can have when suffering from a high fever, in which the most bizarre and seemingly hopeless situations nearly drive one to despair. So far, I've never seen another film evoking that sort of atmosphere so well. Strange yet familiar. Archetypal. ERASERHEAD is a unique work of art, a milestone in cinema. Don't try to understand or explain this film, open up your mind and simply undergo it, visit the dream world while being awake. An exceptional experience. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Pather Panchali [1955] starring: Kanu Bannerjee, Karuna Bannerjee, Subir Bannerjee, Uma Das Gupta, Chunibala Devi directed by: Satyajit Ray January 27, 2003 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£11.50
the movie about the events that change the life of a family of 4 in a village in bengal entails more than just events as it becomes a study of natural evolution of the way man interacts with natural environment itself and how that affects the lives of the protagonists here. the rural setting here is so symbiotic with the nature of the decptive calm of the cruel indian climate that you will be almost lulled into a sense of security by the tranquility of the fiest half which appraises the chores of living ,petty neighbourl quarrels between children and the strife for resousrces for everyday life in a natural environment , the mother is the essential sycophant as she protects ,rears and miserably enacts the poverty of a household with not enough ...

Average Rating:	The Devils [1971] starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Dudley Sutton, Max Adrian, Gemma Jones directed by: Ken Russell September 08, 1997 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		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:	A One and A Two (Yi Yi) [2000] starring: Nien-Jen Wu, Elaine Jin, Issei Ogata, Kelly Lee, Jonathan Chang directed by: Edward Yang June 24, 2002 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£4.70
Films like this are a rarity.Wonderful and assured direction,a absorbing script and acting which comes from the soul.This film at three hours creeps up on you and slowly takes hold but it never feels overlong or indulgent.I came away truly moved at the fact that although we are all culturally different the same problems face us all.Problems with work,familyand love.The music was wonderful too! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Naked [1993] starring: David Thewlis, Lesley Sharp, Katrin Cartlidge, Greg Cruttwell, Claire Skinner directed by: Mike Leigh June 09, 1997 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.90
I cannot for the life of me understand all the 5 star reviews. This film comprises a rediculously unbelieveable script populated with unbelieveable, 2-dimensional, cliched characters and executed with heavy, wooden performances. Is this what happens when artistic folk conspire to create "gritty" and "real" drama. The total running time of nearly two and a half hours makes this ham-fisted effort almost unwatchable >>More Details

Average Rating:	Knife In The Water [1962] starring: Leon Niemczyk, Jolanta Umecka, Zygmunt Malanowicz, Anna Ciepielewska, Roman Polanski directed by: Roman Polanski January 24, 2000 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.83
From a film student's point of view, admire the brilliant use of the sailboat set. Roman Polanski exploits every nook, cranny and prop to reveal the character. Somehow he fills the story with intrigue and drama. I liked the female character, who supposedly had never acted before, and never really did anything afterwards. She looks plain at the beginning, but she's beautiful and there's something very erotic about her. The conflict between the men is amusing. I had thought a very young Polanski was playing the teenager, but it turns out that Polanski dubbed the voice. The extra DVD explains the curious story behind the picture. Usually you're disappointed when you explore a director's lesser known work. This film proved very satisfying, despite being decades old and ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Pink Flamingos [1972] starring: Divine, Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pierce, Edith Massey directed by: John Waters Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£14.89
I bought this movie after I first saw 'Hairspray' (the 1987 original) and thought that Divine was hilarious. However, I did not quite know what to make of this movie, or just what I was letting myself in for - it's SO disgusting and obscene... Not only that; but the story did not make any sense to me either (perhaps it was not meant to) The strange thing is, some years later, I read a review of the film on another Site by someone who pointed out that this movie makes a really good statement about modern society and its obsession in becoming famous; it is a great representation of what people will do to become famous today, and the lengths they will go to! Think about it, and the movie does make some sense - kind of! The only puzzle is, is that when this movie ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Les Diaboliques [1954] starring: Simone Signoret, VÃ©ra Clouzot, Paul Meurisse, Charles Vanel, Jean Brochard directed by: Henri-Georges Clouzot January 16, 1995 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£3.50
Other reviewers have described the twists and turns that make this probably the best French film noir of all time, and on a par with "Psycho". The first time you see it it is really scary and startling: more so in fact than some outright horror movies. The next few times you are still enjoying its sheer class and puzzling over the final scenes. It is said Hitchcock tried to buy the rights to the novel but was pipped at the post by Clouzot. Certainly the great H. couldn't have done a better job; a Hollywood-type version would have flopped: this is so French a story. Realistic acting, tense, brooding atmosphere in a strange French boarding school full of weird Gallic characters and attention to minute detail all add to the sense of mystery. As the end-titles ...

Average Rating:	The Seventh Seal [1957] starring: Max von Sydow, Gunnar BjÃ¶rnstrand, Bengt Ekerot, Nils Poppe, Bibi Andersson directed by: Ingmar Bergman May 09, 1994 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.99
After 10 years fighting in the crusades Antonius Block and his squire return to a Europe ravaged by plague. When Death comes for him Antonius challenges him to a game of chess, the stakes being life or death. Bergman's hero is deeply scarred and troubled by his experiences. He doubts his own faith and looks to Death for the answers he seeks about God, and the apparent senselessness and barbarity of life. But Death has no answers. The symbolism here is dense and profound, with the mood occasionally lightened by a stab or two at medieval humour. But the film holds the viewer's attention by its mesmeric imagery and the obvious compassion felt by Antonious for his fellow man. It's a moving encounter with a small band of people whom Antonious tries to protect from Death. ... Read More: >>More Details
