I can't believe it has taken me so long to 'discover' this film. I remember it being my parent's favourite movie. I recently bought for my children as they loved the Sound of Music. I have to say that it is the only film that has ever made me cry, and several times at that. I never thought a musical would do that. 'If I loved a you' has to be one of the most beautiful and moving love song ever written, and it is beautiful orchestrated in the astonishing 'Louise's Ballet', (check it out on You Tube). What an abstounding dance scene, I have never seen such wonderful male dancing, when a man can be so masculine and yet so graceful. The ending with 'You'll never walk alone' is so moving and reduced me to ... Read More:

A fantastic film that won quite a few awards. Even though the film is in black and white it captures the heartache,indignity, faith, and a true story of Bernadette Soubirous and the struggles of a poor family living in one tiny room and Bernadette suffering ill health with Asthma. Bernadette was 14yrs old when the first apparition appeared, she had over 18 visions from Our Lady at the Grotto in France in 1858. She died in 1879 and was Canonized. Lourdes is celebrating it's 150th year where over 8 million people visit the Grotto every year, bathe in the freezing cold spring water and people come in Procession to celebrate Our Lady apparitions. This Year Pope Benedict XVI will be celebration Mass in Lourdes on the 13th September due to 150 years ... Read More:

There is little not to like with this 50s movie. Two great actors, a renowned Director,(Henry King - Twelve o'clock High,Snows of Kilamanjaro, Carousel) a good story and a wonderful setting. Jennifer Jones plays a Eurasian Doctor and Holden a Journalist based in Hong Kong. A romance develops and the rest is history. I'll say no more for fear of spoiling your pleasure. The movie was nominated for 8 Oscars. The film is especially interesting in one respect in that there is much to be seen of Hong Kong as it was in the 1950s when the movie was shot on location. The city was a fully fledged British colony then, plenty of HM's Warships in the harbour and British looking officials in Town.Lots of English 'Tea Party' accents around'. ... Read More:

5.Twelve O'Clock High [1949] starring: Gregory Peck, Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill, Millard Mitchell, Dean Jagger directed by: Henry King August 01, 2005

Forget the war (there's no bloodshed), forget the action (that's limited), forget sex - the nearest we get is Gregory Peck's thigh and there is not a woman in the film! - what Darryl F Zanuck's masterpiece shows is the positive attributes of great leadership along with the challenges it faces. It also exposes the leader as a 'friend' as a weak and ultimately failing approach. This film was designed to show leadership in its toughest environment and it achieves this wonderfully - remember it's based on fact so it has relevance where many other films fall down (Braveheart, Jerry Maguire etc) which are so far removed from any origins they are no longer connected to achievable outcomes. Watch the nuances of expression - with no music to mask ... Read More:

Regarded by many as the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, it still manages to pack a punch after all these years. Most people will probably already be familiar with the hymn-like standard 'You'll Never Walk Alone', but there are plenty of other gems here that are worth tuning in for. Fans of Frank Sinatra may recognise Billy's 'Soliloquy'. The scene on the beach where Gordon McRae belts it out is now a movie musicals' classic. My personal favourite is the beautifully tender duet 'If I Loved You', a song so loaded with the promise of romance and deeply felt regret all at the same time - surely (or Shirley??) one of the best love songs in any Broadway repertoire. Another of the musical's high points comes with the opening 'Carousel Waltz' itself, ... Read More:

10.David And Bathsheba [1951] starring: Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, Raymond Massey, James Robertson Justice, Kieron Moore directed by: Henry King March 26, 2007

There's no shortage of bad dialogue in David and Bathsheba - "I was quite a hand with a slingshot," "The King of all Israel out there in the darkness exposing himself to the enemy" (full marks to Dennis Hooey for delivering that one with a straight face), "Go and sit with the concubines." And somehow I doubt a bored David ever told the prophet Nathan "Whatever you say." He even tries the old "My kingdom doesn't understand me" routine on desperate housewife Bathsheba at one point. So it's probably a tribute to Henry King's direction that the film isn't at all bad despite the pitfalls much of the first third provide. Maybe it's to play down the censor-baiting nature of the plot - a married man kills a femme fatale's husband and gets away with it! - but ... Read More:
