VHS : The Monocled Mutineer [1986]
This has to be some of the best television ever made. Great acting, writing and score really set the mood and immerse the viewer in the atmosphere. A must-see. The VHS tapes are something of a let down in quality and for anyone thinking of buying this, my advice would be to wait for the DVD release in late August.

VHS : The Buccaneers [1994]
i absolutly loved this when it was on tv and it was my first glimps into an adaptation and from then on i loved them all (p&p, s&s, emma, martin chuzzlewit, jane eyre, etc). i was always hoping they would put it on again and on DVD (hint, hint) i always wanted to own it on dvd, i see they have it in video and at a ridiculusly high price!!!
what can i say the gowns where beautiful, the storyline was gripping and will keep you on the edge of your seat and in my opinion it was perfectly adapted for tv. when the sad part came you couldn't help feeling terrible for her (won't give any away) but then a ray of hope and all was well again ready for a happy ending. i just adore this BBC adaptation and at the end you can't help sighing with sheer ...

VHS : Jack And Sarah [1995]
Good story and could have been a classic romantic comedy, but REG is such a stiff and limited actor the whole effect is spoilt. Should have given the part to sir Hugh - or at least Phil Daniels - now that would have ben funny

6.Excalibur [1981] starring: Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, Nicholas Clay, Cherie Lunghi, Paul Geoffrey

VHS : Excalibur [1981]
John Boorman's 1981 film is an exercise in how to treat fantasy in an adult and serious manner.
The fantasy elements are subtle - there are no stop motion monsters to be found here - and yet still pervade the movie with a sense of the magical & arcane. This film in no way attempts a realistic approach to the extent of 2004's King Arthur.
Merlin as portrayed here is dark & ambiguous, constantly aware of the end of the time of magic & the old gods. A very eccentic performance by the
excellent Nicol Williamson. Helen Mirren as the evil & seductive sorceress, Morgana gives an erotically charged performance that is not easily forgotten!
Nigel Terry as Arthur is a bit wooden BUT his tone & manner suits the film's often ... Read More:

VHS : King David [1985]
King David was the Alexander of its day, a critically reviled epic that was damned more for what it got right than what it gets wrong. Critics at the time were aghast at the violence and ridiculed the scene where Richard Gere dances through the streets of Jerusalem in a loincloth, but in actuality both are straight from the Bible and are considerably watered down: this David doesn't give his father-in-law hundreds of Philistines foreskins in return for the hand of his daughter, and the decimation of his enemies takes place safely offscreen. But the film's attitude to religion is strikingly grim. This isn't the cosy feelgood God of Sunday school but a vengeful, unforgiving God who orders genocide and abandons those He anoints. Both Saul and David fall from Grace, ... Read More:
