DVD : Oliver! (Special Edition) [1968]
Simply put, Oliver! is one of the greatest musicals of all time. It is filled with memorable songs - "Food Glorious Food", "Oliver!", "Consider Yourself" and "Oom-Pah-Pah" to name just a few - and equally memorable characters.

The film is a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel and much like the story of Oliver Twist itself, it is a perfect family film. There are some frightening moments - the villain Bill Sykes played by Oliver Reed is scary enough on his own - but overall, the film will appeal to children of all ages as well as adults.

The story - which almost everyone is surely familiar with by now - revolves around a little orphan boy named Oliver and his life growing up in London. At first he lives ... Read More:

Does anybody know what is on Disc 2? I suspect there might be some extras and I am hoping one of which is the documentary Shadowing the Third Man, but would like to know for sure before I buy it. Shame that Amazon is sometimes so lax about product descriptions.

I have watched this film five or six times on an old VHS version and every time I watch it, I discover something new and enthralling. The film is superb, bigger than life and definitely one of the greatest ever made!

As 99 % of Customers would have seen this film before there is no need to write about how Good it is - Noel Coward, Ralph Richardson and Alec Guinness need I say more ?

For some daft reason Amazon do not make it clear what aspect ratio the dvd is.

I am glad to report its has the Aspect Ratio 2.35:1,Anamorphic Widescreen far better than what I was expecting { 1.33:1 }

Great film. One can only imagine the frame of mind of those originally watching it during the war. Brilliantly avoids the trap of portraying characters as heroes, they're just normal flawed fellows... who you don't necessarily like, until they're the tight knit fighting unit we see at the end. Isn't propaganda clever?
David Niven is fantastic - a role model for every Englishman.
The rest of the cast are exceptional too. The last shots, soldiers advancing bravely through the smoke, was surely lifted for the opening credits of Dad's Army years later - and both featured the brilliant John Laurie.

Charlton Heston (BenHur,El Cid,)Stars as Master Sculptor Michaleangilo in this classic epic from 1965 Based on Irving stones novel and directed by Carol Reed.I think this movie has been forgotten about and doesnt get the true recognition it truly deserves.

This is the finest British movie ever made. The Third Man is great, but this is greater. And the music is incredibly moving (by William Alwyn). Buy the film, buy the music on CD, and marvel.
