I didnt think id like this film in all honesty! I asked my dad who Tommy Lee Jones was and 2 hours later he gets this film out and demands that i watch it! With realizing on half way through that 'Han Solo' (Harrison Ford) was Richard! This film is truly a work of art and since my dad made me watch it iv been obsessed. Great acting and incredible story!

2.Freddy vs Jason [2003] starring: Ken Kirzinger, Robert Englund, Monica Keena, Jason Ritter, Kelly Rowland directed by: Ronny Yu January 26, 2004

Brilliant movie. In my opinion, one of the best movies out of either series (Friday the 13th or A Nightmare On Elm Street), it's really great. Lot's of suspence and gore and the cool death scenes - everything you could want from a slasher movie. The characters were great to, well developed and likeable and there were quite a few funny lines that made me laugh - and I thought the scne near the start where the teenagers ran out of the house screaming was really funny, like the movie was spoofing itself. People make fun of this movie having Kelly Rowland in it but I thought she was a really good actress and she played a good character, too. Brilliant movie, for fans of Freddy or Jason, or both (like me) :).

3.The Heart Of Me [2003] starring: Helena Bonham Carter, Olivia Williams, Paul Bettany, Eleanor Bron, Luke Newberry directed by: Thaddeus O'Sullivan October 06, 2003

Helena Bonham Carter is at her best in this gem of a film, as are her Co actors. I do not understand that the news of the brilliance of this film, has not been more widely spread, and therefore I will do my best to chime in the chorus of praise of this film. It surpasses Gosford park and most period drama by miles. The portraits of the prime actors is delicately cut and reveals the nature of each role to the bone, heart and spirit of the character as well as the spirit and hypocrisies of the time. What can't be done, should have been done and what is done should have been avoided. It is the keepers of the rules and the "right thing to do", who ruins all by not knowing that the lives and happiness of all are ... Read More:

5.The Lost World [2001] starring: Bob Hoskins, James Fox, Tom Ward (II), Matthew Rhys, Elaine Cassidy directed by: Stuart Orme June 03, 2002

The BBC's 2002 version of Arthur Conan Doyle's oft-imitated The Lost World is better than most (not saying much considering the low budgets and abysmal special effects of most versions over the past half century) but it still takes plenty of liberties with the source material. Bob Hoskins' irritable Professor Challenger and James Fox's Professor Summerlee are faithful enough, but once again a new female character has been written into the story for purely demographic reasons in the form of Elaine Cassidy's daughter of Peter Falk's missionary, though this does at least allow the script some contentious discussion of Creationism vs. Darwinism to help stake its claim to a higher intellectual plateau than its cheap-and-cheerful rivals. But of course, it's the dinosaurs ... Read More:

6.The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner [1962] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Michael Redgrave, Tom Courtenay, Avis Bunnage, Alec McCowen, James Bolam directed by: Tony Richardson February 13, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £10.21
Good acting , good direction and an accurate storyline. This workmanlike british film of the fifties is enjoyable and interesting. By far the biggest atribute , in my own personal eyes , is its accuracy and authenticity to the borstal system. Being a borstal officer during this period , many of the situations and incidents contained within the film are equal to many I have encountered over the years. The "feel" of the film is very authentic indeed. Good performances by Redgrave , Courtney and a fledgling John Thaw . Not exactly a film to relax with but nevertheless enjoyable

7.Return From Witch Mountain [1978] starring: Bette Davis, Christopher Lee, Kim Richards, Ike Eisenmann, Jack Soo directed by: John Hough March 22, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £15.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.50
This film is the continuation of one of the greatest films live action films from Disney if you seen Escape to Witch Mountain Disney version you enjoy this one it isn't as action packed as the first but still a great film Kim Richards is still a perfect Tia and Tony is still played by the original boy from the first film. Thier is another Escape to Witch Mountain which is not Disney a far worst if you want the best buy this with it's perfect partner

8.Raining Stones [1993] starring: Bruce Jones, Julie Brown (II), Gemma Phoenix, Ricky Tomlinson, Tom Hickey directed by: Ken Loach May 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £8.44
No-one has ever questioned Ken Loach'e sincerity or identification with his characters, but this is the film which best combines those qualities with warmth and humour. Our hero is in financial difficulty right from the start, but when he decides his daughter must have a new dress for her first communion and, by hook or by crook, he's going to find the money to buy one, his plight becomes serious indeed. (The actor playing the local debt collector is truly terrifying.) The only other film where I've felt such a strong ache for a character's predicament is for James Stewart in "It's A Wonderful Life", no less. Lest this all sound too grim, I should emphasise that it's laugh out loud funny in places. You'll be glad to know that Ricky Tomlinson is well to the fore and gives one ... Read More:

I just loved this film.. I have been to Bosnia several times and have friends there and they also enjoyed Warriors.. Maybe at times it can be stereotypical regarding the muslims and the Serbs, but the acting is great and the storylines are good.. Well worth watching!!
