You know this classic story by now of the boy who asked for more...Oliver Twist played touchingly in the best version on celluloid by Mark Lester...He is one of many workhouse orphans lead by the authoritarian Mr Bumble (Harry Secombe) who decides to sell Oliver to a local Funeral Director in the form of (Leonard Rossiter) of Rising Damp fame.

3.Pete's Dragon [1977] starring: Sean Marshall, Helen Reddy, Jim Dale, Mickey Rooney, Red Buttons directed by: Don Chaffey November 12, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £10.95
Pete (Sean Marshall) is a poor orphan. He's been adopted by the mean Gogan family run by the matriarch Lena (Shelley Winters). The Gogans make him work from morning til night and beat him for the slightest thing. So, naturally, he runs away. Only this time he has help in the form of Elliot. Elliot is a dragon. And while he doesn't always think about what he's doing, he means well. And he really wants to help Pete. Pete and Elliot happen to find the town of Passamaquoddy on the coast of Maine.

Have they found a real home ... Read More:

4.Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [1968] starring: Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Benny Hill, Gert Fröbe directed by: Ken Hughes February 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.99
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [1968] 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' is my second favourite after 'The Wizard Of Oz'. 'Chitty' stars Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, James Robertson Justice and Robert Helpmann. Though this release onto DVD is the Full Screen version of this film i personally prefere it due to the fact this is a wonderful transfere to Disc, with it's lovely deep colours and so beautifully restored it looks like a modern film. Dick Van Dyke is superb as the children's father who rescues a vintage racing car from a junk yard and gets the car working again. He decides the car should be called 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' and he tells his children a story of how the car is magic and able to float and fly. Everything is so wonderful about this ...

5.The Beatles - Yellow Submarine [1968] starring: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, The Beatles directed by: George Dunning February 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £23.99
In my case that was 1969. That's when I saw this in a double billing with Barbarella (1968) at West Point, NY. The music is great and it brings back a part of history. Can the Beatles save Pepperland? Remember we all live in a Yellow Submarine. Instead of just buying the soundtrack, buy the movie and you have them both. I guess I will have to buy it also to hear "Hey, Bulldog!" Of course as with most movies there will always be someone one that prefers the original and knows that it was cut that way on purpose. And now it is time for a whole new generation to enjoy.

6.Annie [1982] starring: Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Ann Reinking, Tim Curry directed by: John Huston December 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.10
Whilst watching this film a giant frog put his eye up to the window and tried to look at me, I can only assume this has something to do with the film and I will not be watching it again.

7.The Sound Of Music (2 Disc Special Edition) [1965] starring: Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, Eleanor Parker, Richard Haydn, Peggy Wood directed by: Robert Wise April 09, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.68
I had to return my borrowed 'original' VHS tape and I didn't want the DVD (high up in a recent survey of most wanted gadgets: a button on a DVD remote labeled "Just play the goddam film"). When I received the tape I was disappointed to see "DIGITALLY MASTERED FOR SUPERIOR SOUND AND PICTURE QUALITY". Why do they lie like this? Luckily the sound has survived but the picture is awful compared to the very old, much played borrowed tape. The picture has a brownish tinge and soft focus all the way through. The reason the tape is digitally 'mastered' is presumably the same as with digitally mastered LP's; so as not to show up the limitations of the new CD's and DVD's. However I can remember enough of the borrowed tape to continue to enjoy this wonderful film.

8.Bugsy Malone [1976] starring: Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, Florrie Dugger, John Cassisi, Martin Lev directed by: Alan Parker December 03, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £13.50
I watched this film at various stages throughout my life and still have a soft spot for Bugsy Malone. Jodie Foster is and always has been one of my favourite actresses and this is the film I first saw her in. Remember when Babyface says 'get Babyface..I am Babyface' who incidentally is a British actor called Dexter Fletcher and has been in many television productions and films more famously in Lock Stock as Soap. The British actors seem to have done more with their lives than the American ones.....please correct me if I'm wrong. I wont mind... This film is never outdated, should still be 'allowed' by the PC Brigade and no doubt be watched a few generations down the line. The actors were outstanding for their age and for the time and the whole thing was written well for them.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £20.00
This film follows the character of Mary Poppins the nanny who's practically perfect in every way. This timeless classic has magical and unforgettable songs for the whole family to enjoy. And this special 40th anniversary edition has some brilliant extras from a new short story with Julie Andrews, cut songs and a documentary of the making of the film.
