One of Woody Allen's finest films and a personal favourite of mine, this is a beautifully understated tale of an everyman talent agent and his relationships with his endless line of spectacularly awful theatrical acts. Danny Rose is played with a baffled kind of innocence by Allen in what is probably his most sympathetic role as a bumbling loser. And he is excellent, toning down his usually caustic barbs (fret not, there're still some belters) in order to bring out the sweetness of Rose's nature. Mia Farrow enjoys one of her best Woody-written roles as the sharp-tongued moll of Nick Apollo Forte's alcoholic lounge singer, bringing considerable warmth to a character that may have eluded other actresses. Forte himself brings presence and heart ... Read More:

3.Sid And Nancy [1986] starring: Gary Oldman, Chloe Webb, David Hayman, Debby Bishop, Andrew Schofield directed by: Alex Cox February 26, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
As a minor fan of Punk, this is one of the most disappointing films I've seen. Gary Oldham gives a laughably bad portrayal of Sid Vicious nothing like the real thing at all and the leading lady was quite poor in her role as Nancy. Overall the biggest problem this movie suffers from is that it has the patina of a cheap amateur film student project. I recently watched "The Filth and the Fury," a documentary about the Pistols and their antics, and I found this flick much less engaging. I've never understood Sid and Nancy's parasitic need for each other, and this movie did nothing to enlighten me. The performances and music make this a marginal "recommend", but not by much. Another nail in the coffin of the British Film industry ... Read More:

4.Vamp [1986] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Chris Makepeace, Sandy Baron, Robert Rusler, Dedee Pfeiffer, Gedde Watanabe directed by: Richard Wenk August 21, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
Okay, so "Vamp" may not go down in history as one of the great masterpieces, but there is a certain charm about the movie that draws me in. The 80's yielded a string of vampire flicks, some were great, "Fright Night (1985)", "Near Dark (1987) and "The Lost Boys" (1987), whilst others were incredibly bad, "Once Bitten" (1985) and the worst of them all "Teen Vamp" (1988), which is bad beyond comprehension. "Vamp" is smacked right in the middle of these movies, and accurately so. It doesn't have the emotional depht of "Near Dark", nor the wit of "The Lost Boys", but, it does have one thing neither of those movies have; Grace Jones. Granted, her screentime is limited to ten minutes, but she makes such an impact (especially her intro) that more would be ... Read More:

5.Birdy [1984] starring: Matthew Modine, Nicolas Cage, John Harkins, Sandy Baron, Karen Young directed by: Alan Parker April 17, 2000

Alan Parker's 'Birdy' focuses on two war veterans struggling to cope with post traumatic stress disorder. The movie is constucted cleverly as a series of flashbacks in which we see the two characters growing up together, one with a searing passion for birds, and the other with an infatuation for women. After their return from Vietnam, both men deal with their experiences in very different and bizarre ways. The title character is committed to a mental hospital whilst his friend, who has suffered hoffific injuries in battle, fights to bring him back to sanity. Matthew Modine and Nicholas Cage give arguably the best performances of their careers in this movie. Alan Parker's direction is faultless as he infuses aspects of humour with ... Read More:

6.The Grifters [1991] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Anjelica Huston, John Cusack, Annette Bening, Jan Munroe, Robert Weems directed by: Stephen Frears September 24, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.84
Stephen Frears' adaptation of Jim Thompson's brilliant Freudian-noir (produced by Martin Scorsese) is well worth seeing. It pretty much captures the venal triangle depicted in the book- though you should seek out both Thompson;s books & other related works (Peckinpah's 'The Getaway', the collaborations with Stanley Kubrick: 'The Killing' & 'Paths of Glory'). Both Annette Benning & John Cusack are very good here- though the standout performance is Anjelica Huston (who was also superb in 'Crimes & Misdeameanours','The Dead', 'Prizzi's Honour' & 'The Postman Always Rings Twice'). She depicts the reptilian-matriarch with a female equivalent of Christopher Walken's performance in 'The King of New York'...This film is proof, along with 'High Fidelity', ... Read More:

8.If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium [1969] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Suzanne Pleshette, Ian McShane, Mildred Natwick, Murray Hamilton, Sandy Baron directed by: Mel Stuart May 20, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £9.82
This film cannot be called great, profound, or even thought-provoking. It's just plain fun. A romantic comedy attached to a travelogue--or is it the other way round? Its premise is simple and familiar: a group of Americans take a whirlwind, 18-day bus tour of Europe with a young English tourguide. The central couple, consisting of the late Suzanne Pleshette at her most beautiful, and a cocky but cute Ian McShane as the tourguide, are charming and goo-ily romantic. They have a moonlit makeout scene in a gondola which should elicit wistful sighs from any sentimental sap (like me). The other "satellite" stories include a travel-hating curmudgeon, his postcard-writing wife, and rebellious daughter; a hilariously hapless husband who loses his dippy wife to an ... Read More:
