81.A Bridge Too Far (2 Disc Special Edition) [1977] starring: Dirk Bogarde, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O'Neal, Maximilian Schell, Liv Ullmann directed by: Richard Attenborough, Sidney Hayers May 24, 2004

This is almost a classic war movie, with A Cecil B DeMille "cast of thousands", including a multiplicity of stars as noted by other reviewers. At the time of release (1977), it was critiqued as "an hour too long" by some reviewers, which is too harsh a verdict for such a detailed overview of one of the much-analysed battles of World War 2. The film has both narrative and action which capture the viewer and character performances which are finally toned, remembering that many of the key participants were still alive at the time of release. The battle scenes are well done, albeit with very obvious use of 1970s artillery pieces and tanks in certain scenes. The major flaw in the movie is its obligation to the 1970s Zeitgeist ...

82.Romeo And Juliet [1968] starring: Leonard Whiting, Olivia Hussey, John McEnery, Milo O'Shea, Pat Heywood (II) directed by: Franco Zeffirelli February 03, 2003

I teach GCSE drama in a rough Saff London Comp and get the students hooked with Baz Lurhrmann's modern version of it and then to teach them more of what Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote the play, I show them this one by Zeffirelli - it works a treat. It is beautifully done, universal in its themes and appeal and the acting is rivitingly good - especially the very young and beautiful Olivia Hussy, though Michael York as a petulant Tybalt is equally good.

83.Great Expectations [1946] starring: John Mills, Tony Wager, Valerie Hobson, Jean Simmons, Bernard Miles directed by: David Lean April 12, 1999

There are some films, such as "Casablanca," that should never be remade. David Lean's "Great Expectations" is one of them. The cast--headed by John Mills as the grown-up Pip, and which includes the rotund Francis L. Sullivan as the lawyer Jagger (whose clients are hanged as a matter of course), Finlay Curry as the convict Magwitch, and Alec Guinness as Herbert Pocket--is pitch-perfect (although I always thought that Valerie Hobson was a bit of a disappointment after the brittle hauteur of Jean Simmons). This film has everything: humor, suspense, and a lack of the sentimentality that seems to have crept into Dickensian films of late. Lean, who was to become famous for his sweeping desolate landscapes of "Lawrence of Arabia" and ... Read More:

84.Platoon [1987] starring: Charlie Sheen, Johnny Depp, Mark Moses, David Neidorf, Willem Dafoe directed by: Oliver Stone September 18, 2000

Platoon is a cinematic classic from Director Olive stone. And is supposedly his auto-biography of his experiences in Vietnam as a G.I. The characters in this film are based on real-soldiers he met in his 'platoon' in Vietnam. I'm highly recommending the Special Edition for a feature documentary on the 'making of platoon' which is the best feature I've ever seen on a DVD to date. It shows how Oliver Stone put the cast through hell and back whilst shooting in the jungle. Plenty of accounts from Charlie Sheen, a young Johnny Depp, and Elijah Woods on how much they grew to hate Oliver Stone, which is exactly what he wanted!. A must see.

For anyone who was a child of the 1960's or early 70's, this will surely bring back many memories and is an absolute must! I've been watching the DVD series with my own daughters (aged 9 and 7). Despite down-playing expectations in advance - it's in black and white, a bit crackly and very tame compared with today's TV - they absolutely love it. Very educational too - asking them what THEY would do in his situation (seek water, food, shelter etc.). We're watching one episode a day (I had to wait a full week for the next episode in 1965!). The music is on my ipod and I never walk on a deserted beach without the tunes in my head. Wonderful! Tim.

When Nat Cole's smooth, melancholy delivery sends "Rather Have the Blues Than What I've Got" out of Mike Hammer's car radio late one night, we know nothing good is going to happen. Hammer has just picked up a desperate young woman named Christina who had been running down an isolated California two-lane rode. "The room is dark and gloomy, you don't know what you're doing to me The way it has got me caught, I'd rather have the blues than what I've got." The lyrics might not be good, but Cloris Leachman's frightened urgency as Christina sets the movie on the fast track. It's not long before Hammer's car is forced off the road, he's beaten senseless, and wakes up on a bed listening to shrieks of pain as Christina, hanging from her wrists, is tortured to death in a vain ...

Absolute belter! One of the darkest & most serious in tone. The setting of war torn Skaro, the fascist elements of the Kaled race, the birth of the Doctor's most feared enemies and the introduction of the greatest villain in Davros, that ever featured in the series. This is the definitive Davros as played by Michael Wisher; the make up, the voice - all chillingly perfect and Davros was never so well portrayed again until 30 years later with Julian Bleach's stunning performances in Stolen Earth/Journeys End. This is dark and mature, clearly influenced by a global conflict that had only ended 30 years prior. Sets, lighting, FX are all excellent - and there is plenty of tension and military style action. Ok, the Daleks are in a more supportive role due to Davros's dominance but this is good ... Read More:

Amazingly, the dumb morons at Optimum still think there is a market for widescreen films panned&scanned to 4x3. Even if this is open matte, it's inexcusable - the film is meant to be seen the way it's projected theatrically. A plague on those cretinous brainless congenitally stupid idiotic imbeciles.
