1.Chariots Of Fire [1981] starring: Nicholas Farrell, Nigel Havers, Ian Charleson, Ben Cross, Daniel Gerroll directed by: Hugh Hudson May 31, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.74
Many great sports movies are about self-sacrifice for the sake of selfish goals. Rocky Balboa fought to prove something. Lou Gehrig wanted to persevere. Rudy Ruettiger just wanted to play for Notre Dame. They have obstacles, and by sheer will, overcome them. Not Eric Liddell. Liddell wanted to glorify God. When he ran, he felt closer to God. When it came to winning, he wanted it to point toward God, not himself. When questioned about his commitment as a Christian, and to his intention to return as a missionary to China, he replied, "I believe that God made me for a purpose. But He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure." "Chariots of Fire" shows him as a man who never compromised, and followed through ... Read More:

3.Testament Of Youth [1979] starring: Cheryl Campbell, Rosalie Crutchley, Hazel Douglas, Rupert Frazer, Emrys James directed by: Moira Armstrong January 22, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £32.75
The main reason why I took to this 1979 BBC Drama Series was its emontional power. Cheryl Campbell is excellent, and flawless as Vera Brittain, and hardly puts a foot wrong. Watching this series again has made me realise how much of an impact it has made. It makes you feel that you're sharing the journey of life with her. You know what she's going through, what she's feeling, and in most of the scenes, you're relating to her, especially the death scenes, and the ghosts of those around her who went to war, and died plays an important role in the proceedings. This programme is also relevant to the Iraq war, and to those who have lost loved ones in subsequent wars that followed after the First World War. This programme should also serve as a warning ...

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.69
This is one of the best Tarzan movies. Good filming with little special effects. Apes look very real. Also good monkey-acting by Lambert. The scene when he screams his father is dead...gave me the shivers. Waiting for it to appear on DVD.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.25
Mcvicar was a grammar schooled lad who went astray and ended up doing some of the most vicious bank jobs in the time of the "supercrooks" the krays, richardsons, the great train robbers et-ol john mcvicar wrote the script for this exellent film himself and his book (by himself) also spawned the idea of the shawshank redemption for stephen king. this film is a great look at to how mcvicar was locked up in durham goal in the sixties, he wouldn't accept been locked away so planned his escape with the help of wally (adam faith) along with some quality acting (berkoff) and (faith) roger daltrey really captures the part of the no-nonsense john mcvicar right from the start with the now legendry line "alright who's got my trainers" then the "i aint going anywhere till ...

10.Hawk The Slayer [1980] starring: Jack Palance, John Terry, Bernard Bresslaw, Ray Charleson, Peter O'Farrell directed by: Terry Marcel April 10, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.49
I remember this film from when I was a kid. IT IS GENIUS!!!!! The all time great Bernard Breslaw as the giant/barbarian and the perpetually evil Jack Palance as the evil VOLTAN, Hawk's older brother... with a moody elf called CROW. There is even a scene where the magic special effect is silly string. Can you really ask for more from an early 80s sci-fi film? There is the standard witty banter between characters and the evil is the most evil of evil. This film is a must for those who grew up in the 80s and those who need to know what little we had to get us through. I also recommend KRULL, FLASH GORDON & LABYRINTH
