Average Rating:	Blue Velvet [1986] starring: Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern, Hope Lange directed by: David Lynch October 13, 1997 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.46
What is there to say about the best film of the 1980's. This film is a modern day fairy tale, a surreal crime thriller and certainly one of Lynch's best and most rated films. I just want to leave a note about the DVD, similar to what others have said, avoid the Prism Production of this, bad video, bad sound and ugly looking. Instead stretch yourself a few more Â£'s with the recently restored Sanctuary copy with bonus disk... Prepare yourself for the voyeuristic journey, in this strange world. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Lift To The Scaffold [1957] starring: Louis Malle\|Jeanne Moreau\|Maurice Ronet\|Lino Ventura April 05, 1994 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.50
This was Louis Malle's first. Previously he had worked with Jacques Cousteau on "The Silent World" (interestingly enough) and now tried his hand at film noir. Several things fell into place to make this debut a memorable one. First, he was able to get Jeanne Moreau to play Florence Carala. She had previously been mostly a stage and B-movie player who was obviously very talented, but as Malle put it, not considered really photogenic. What she becomes after her performance here is a premier star of the French cinema partially because of the way she is photographed, and partly because she was so perfectly suited to the character, which I suspect she helped to create. She does a lot silently or with just a few words in the scenes where ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Schtonk! [1992] starring: Helmut Dietl\|GÃ¶tz George\|Uwe Ochsenknecht\|Christiane HÃ¶rbiger June 14, 1993 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£14.95
This is hilarious and satire at its best. Being German myself and having seen it without subtitles, I do not know if the subtitles really capture the double-meanings and subtleties, but I certainly recommend watching it. The acting is wonderful, especially the two main characters are using their full potential. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Seven Samurai [1954] starring: ToshirÃ´ Mifune, Takashi Shimura, Yoshio Inaba, Seiji Miyaguchi, Minoru Chiaki directed by: Akira Kurosawa November 22, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£1.29
"Seven samurai" (1954) is arguably Akira Kurosawa's best film, and my favourite of those made by that wonderful Japanese director. The plot of this movie is simple enough, but it is developed in a way that enriches it, by adding depth to the characters and making the spectator realize that there is more to them than meets the eye. The rigid cast division that characterized 16th century Japan is shown, and the whole period is brought to life thanks to outstanding cinematography and excellent acting. The story begins when the inhabitants of a very small rural village start discussing what to do about the bandits that attack them from time to time, taking everything of value with them. The farmers have very few resources and hardly any food left, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Yojimbo [1961] starring: ToshirÃ´ Mifune, EijirÃ´ Tono, Tatsuya Nakadai, YÃ´ko Tsukasa, Isuzu Yamada directed by: Akira Kurosawa November 09, 1998 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Vegetarian Books Price: Â£15.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.29
This was one of the first foreign films I ever watched.I was curious to see what the original idea was like,after watching'A Fistful of Dollars'The Japanese version was much superior,and hugely entertaining.Toshiro Mifune plays the wandering Samurai warrior brilliantly,as he gets the two rival gangs battling against each other.A timeless film,and a class act.I never tire of watching it! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Stealing Beauty [1996] starring: Liv Tyler, SinÃ©ad Cusack, Jeremy Irons, Jean Marais, Donal McCann directed by: Bernardo Bertolucci February 23, 1998 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£1.00
The plus: The movie is pleasantly filmed in a beautiful setting of country houses in rural Italy; unconventionally overt display of sexual relationship and naturist display; true love triumphed and rewarded in the end with the joyful first-times. The minus: flawed script, unfocused story where the journey of discovering the identity of father and resuming of youthful love is distracted to an explicit and needless anecdotes of naturist playing, love-making and sexual mind games. It is unconvincing and has little reality touch. There is also a myriad of strange yet underdeveloped characters. Directors seems could not decide on following a core storyline and instead packed the movie with large quantity of sub plots and supporting characters. I would give ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Raising Arizona [1987] starring: Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, Trey Wilson, John Goodman, William Forsythe directed by: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen September 18, 2000 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.47
This was a firm favourite of mine as a teenager, due mainly to the plethora of brilliantly quotable lines (teenagers,eh?) But it is still just as original, funny, strange and clever as it ever was, with a great cast of actors, the role of a lifetime for Nicolas Cage, which i'm sure helped him break out and be considered a very versatile actor, and of course the ever fantastic Holly Hunter, plus some wonderful supporting players. The Cohen brothers may of gone on and honed their craft as film makers,but they have never beaten Raising Arizona for laughs. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Christiane F [1981] starring: Natja Brunckhorst, Thomas Haustein, Jens Kuphal, Rainer Woelk, Jan Georg Effler directed by: Uli Edel August 28, 2000 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.99
This is a brilliant but nightmarish film.Based on a sequence of articles by two German journalists,later made into a book,it shows the decline of a teenage girl as she enters the drug subculture of West Berlin in the 1970s.The actors are mainly amateurs,but they come up with impressive performances. The soundtrack by David Bowie(who lived in Berlin in the late 1970s)is great,with the jolly,optimistic sound of "Heroes" at the start,then,as the film goes on,being replaced by the eerie electronic sounds of the "Low" and "Heroes" albums.His own cameo performing a fine rendition of "Station to Station"is worth a watch too. If you have teenage children,it will be your worst nightmare come true,but you may find they enjoy it too(my 17 year old neice thought it was great). >>More Details

Average Rating:	Street Fighter 2 - The Movie [1994] starring: KÃ´jiro Shimizu, Kenji Haga, Miki Fujitani, Masane Tsukayama, Masakatsu Funaki directed by: Gisaburo Sugii October 02, 1995 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.06
I love this film. But let's be honest, it's rubbish. If you want to watch real manga films, break out the classics like Akira or Fist of the North Star. SF2:TAM is great fun, but let's not try and pretend it's beautiful manga, or that the fight scenes are anything but OK compared to some other films. Half the characters are underused (Blanka, Dhalsim and Zangief barely get a mention). And Ryu is a bit of a loser. That said, if you grew up playing the game on the SNES, have pizza, lager and some mates round, it can't be beaten. And you get to see Chun Li naked... >>More Details

Average Rating:	Dekalog - The Ten Commandments - Part 1-5 [1988] starring: Krystyna Janda, Henryk Baranowski, Wojciech Klata, Miroslaw Baka, Krzysztof Globisz directed by: Krzysztof Kieslowski June 08, 1992 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£3.05
These ten films are the greatest achievement of European film making in the last twenty years. Shot with a visual economy and brutality of style which grew out of Kieslowski's work in documentary, they are at once profoundly wise and unflinchingly honest. Each individual film is a self-contained masterpiece, almost aphorisitic in their brevity and understated rhetoric. All the works concern various individual and overlapping lives on a vast Polish housing estate, and are filmed in colour which seems to have been drained of all but the most sombre hues. The theme of each film is drawn loosely from the ten comandments and explores what those imperatives might mean in a modern context. There is a profound sense of locality, with the films growing out of specifically Polish experience, ... Read More: >>More Details
