1.Schindler's List [1994] starring: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall directed by: Steven Spielberg April 12, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.94
In telling Schindler's story the director chose black and white and the beginning intimates that it might be in the great tradition of 'The Third Man' etc. Unfortunately the film meanders astray into detailed descriptions of the holocaust and the dynamic of the film is lost. Instead of a tense 1 hour 50 minutes of cunning,guile and threat there are literal hours when almost everything is 'spelt out' in many long takes and diversions. The great film techniques of suggestion and inference are little used as almost every action is shown literally and dramatic movement is lost to history lesson. It seems to me important that the dramatic 'backdrop' of any artistic production has to be understood and accepted for the story using that scenario to ... Read More:

I once had to do this as coursework in school, I (against my will) have seen the whole movie and the only word I can choose to describe this is, BORING.

4.Freddie As F.R.O.7 [1987] starring: Michael Hordern, Edmund Kingsley, Ben Kingsley, Jonathan Pryce, Victor Maddern directed by: Jon Acevski April 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.94
This was published by Pocket Money Video, a Braveworld imprint; the animation is 1st class, and the cast list would grace a really top-flight movie for grown-ups! Plus the cast obviously enjoyed making the film... It's a glorious, rollicking spoof of the James Bond school of spy thriller, featuringamong others a six foot tall frog, on secondment to MI5, and the Loch Ness Monster. Enjoy- I know I have...

8.Death And The Maiden [1995] starring: Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Stuart Wilson (II), Krystia Mova, Jonathan Vega directed by: Roman Polanski April 12, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.90
Roman Polanski has a knack for great film making: "Knife in the Water," "Bitter Moon," and "Repulsion" are just some, thought they share a common thread--that of human corruption and a road you'd never think yourself on. "Death and the Maiden" is no different in this respect, though this is one of his more brilliant productions. While Sigourney Weaver is a perfect neurotic wife who thinks she recognizes a former torturer of hers (that her husband brings home, nevertheless), it is Ben Kingsley (the alledged torturer) who steals the show. Not since his "Ghandi" have I been so riveted to the screen. Watching this, you'll think he's just great, but wait for the last fifteen minutes of the film and he will blow your mind completely. The camera stays on ... Read More:

9.Parting Shots [1999] starring: Chris Rea, Felicity Kendal, Bob Hoskins, Ben Kingsley, Joanna Lumley directed by: Michael Winner July 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.31
Hmmm tell me - how did Chris Rea's film career do after this film? It sank without trace I think! And rightly so... this is undoubtedly the strangest casting decision in movie history. Or is it? I reckon, as a mate of Michael Winner, he said he would do this for free... I find Chris Rea as wooden as his Fender Stratocaster when he is doing what he does regularly (i.e. play derivative guitar lines whilst droning nasally) - when acting in this film he goes beyond wood. But thankfully - miraculously - Chris is so bad that he goes right thru the other side and what you have is a film which is genuinely "so bad, it's good". I could mention the amazingly bad music choices, the dreadful script and cameos, but I must especially mention ... Read More:

10.Maurice [1987] starring: James Wilby, Hugh Grant, Rupert Graves, Denholm Elliott, Simon Callow directed by: James Ivory September 13, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.18
Over twenty years after it was made "Maurice" has changed into a classic but did not age at all. This coming-of-age and coming-to-terms story faithfully taken from E. M. Forster's novel was transferred into the screen with such adroitness that with the passage of time it rather increases its appeal. We are transferred to the Edwardian England some years before the outbreak of the Great War. The main hero Maurice is an average student (it is funny to note that everybody including Maurice considers his studies a commendable pastime but generally a waste of time as he should go into business) who falls for a fellow student, an impoverished aristocrat Clive. Their romance is purely platonic which seems to suit Clive (who finally decides to change his minds ... Read More:
