211.For A Few Dollars More (Special Edition) [1965] starring: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Gian Maria Volonte, Mara Krup, Luigi Pistilli directed by: Sergio Leone April 18, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £15.01 (75%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.48
This is fantastic movie, a real epic tale of bounty hunters and their ruthless prey. The performances are outstanding and the film benefits hugely from a brilliant turn by Lee Van Cleef. Clint's on top form and the film is magnificent.

If you are looking for one for the kids, this is it!

213.Inn Of The Sixth Happiness [1958] starring: Ingrid Bergman, Curt Jurgens, Robert Donat directed by: Mark Robson April 18, 2005

A beautiful film, based on the story of a most remarkable woman. Ingrid Bergman gives the performance of her life in my opinion, and Robert Donat and Curt Jurgens provide wonderful support. The latter provides a romantic interest. I accept that this interest was largely fabricated to make the film more appealing at the box office, but it seems all quite tasteful and unrequited to me. The Chinese cast are good too, especially the children. The photography is stunning, using dark, rich colours. Some of those '50s colour movies have often looked dull and out of place on TV, but now on a large screen in a fairly dark room, you begin to get the effect of cinema. You can almost see the full pleated curtains of The Gaumont and The ... Read More:

215.Metropolis - Masters of Cinema series [1927] starring: Alfred Abel, Brigitte Helm directed by: Fritz Lang January 24, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.98 You Save: £9.01 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
BEWARE SPOILERS Fritz Lang's futuristic Metropolis is set in as it happens something like the current era. Most of the population are workers who slave underground to keep the massive machine that is the city going while the privileged stay above ground and live hedonistic lives. It is impossible not to see this in Marxian terms, the prols exploited by the capitalist class. At the time of the film's production in Germany, there was indeed a specter haunting Europe and it was indeed the specter of communism. Curiously Lang ends the film with a blatant political statement. He has labor and capital reluctantly shake hands. I find this curious because there is little doubt that for the previous two and a half hours the film depicts the capitalist class ... Read More:

216.The Red Desert [1964] starring: Richard Harris, Monica Vitti directed by: Michelangelo Antonioni October 27, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.98 You Save: £7.01 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
This was Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni's first film in colour, and was to be his last film in Italy for many years as after this he decamped first to the UK ("Blow Up") and thence to the US ("Zabriskie Point", "The Passenger") before eventually returning to native soil to make "The Mystery of Oberwald" in the 80's. It arrived as the end of a sequence of controversial but ground-breaking films detailing the modern condition - "L'Avventura", "La Notte" and "L'Eclisse" - all also featuring Monica Vitti who has the lead role here. This subject of the film is the relationship between the modern industrial world and those that fit (or, in the case of the Vitti character, do not fit) within it. Antonioni conjures a strange beauty out of the factory-dominated ... Read More:

217.William Shakespeare's Macbeth [1978] starring: Ian McKellen, Judi Dench directed by: Philip Casson May 24, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.98 You Save: £7.01 (54%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £15.00
I have never seen a "Macbeth" to touch this - on stage or screen. This has the darkness, the danger and the madness that so often eludes those who try to bring this piece to life. McKellen and Dench are awe-inspiring, evidencing the intelligence that makes a great Shakespeare actor able to communicate the force and meaning of every word without either condescending or over-emphasising. A joy.

218.The 39 Steps [1935] starring: Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle, Peggy Ashcroft directed by: Alfred Hitchcock August 13, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.98 You Save: £12.01 (75%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.19
Hitchcock always used to say that he saw no point in adapting an excellent book for one of his films because if a novel was so good, what could he do to improve upon it? As a result, in the 80 years since it's release there must have been a lot of disappointed people who have bought John Buchan's book on the strength of this film. For all intents and puposes, Hitchcock's version has become the one that all the others are judged on. Robert Donat is superb as Richard Hannay, a man who ends up on the run when a spy, whom he had only met that evening, ends up dead in his flat. Hannay ends up fleeing to Scotland, determined to pass on the message about the 39 steps. Along the way he picks up Pamela, another superb turn from Madeleine Carroll, ... Read More:

219.Gypsy [1962] starring: Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood, Karl Malden directed by: Mervyn Le Roy April 03, 2006

I was looking forward to receiving the newly released version of Gypsy. Great songs, cinematography etc. However I was very disappointed. Beware this disc is NOT widescreen, but pan and scanned from a very poor original negative, unlike the region 1 release. Hard to believe that with the emergence of widescreen TVs etc. that DVDs are released in anything other than letterbox format these days. A missed opportunity to release a definitive region 2 release.

Great film! Saw it again recently. So fresh and alive. So now I want to buy the it on DVD, however I read ( from wikipedia ) that the film has a greenish tinge on the DVD. Can anyone confirm this?
