VHS : White Christmas [1954]
At 27 years of age, my husband bought this for me for Christmas, as I love this time of year and happy festive films. This is the first time I have ever seen White Christmas and I loved it! I would really like to find more classics of this type but I have no idea where to start! An excellent film, I can't wait to see it again!

VHS : The Nun's Story [1958]
This magnificent film of 1957 still shines in all its luminosity after 50 years. It reminds us of the heights to which Hollywood could rise in the old studio system, which invested its resources on quality: the actors, the director, the music, the costumes, and the splendid genuine locations, from the canals and bridges of Bruges and Antwerp to the sweeping expanse of the Congo river (The scenes at the leper colony, among many others, are fascinating.). "The Nun's Story" allows us to glimpse a slice of history of the 1930s, as it unfolds on two continents. It gives us a look back into a society, both sacred and secular, that World War II was to change irrevocably.

The superb performances of Audrey Hepburn, Peggy Ashcroft, Edith Evans, ... Read More:

VHS : Vanishing Point [1971]
Did anyone ever see the 1997 made for TV version of Vanishing Point? It stars the as yet unknown Viggo Mortensen as Kowalski and had the only two changes needed to make it a criminal travesty:

1) They gave Kowalski a reason to be hurtling from Denver to California - because his missus was having a baby.

2) They actually had the bare faced nerve to allow him to complete the journey on time to create a happy ending.

Vanishing Point (this proper 1971 version as the re-make should be deleted from history) is a counter culture classic of such awesome proportions that I can only weep that I will never EVER make anything this good.

The plot? A chap decides that he is going to deliver a souped up Dodge Challenger from ... Read More:

VHS : Twelve O'Clock High [1949]
The first time I saw this film, it was used as a management training aid where we had to identify different leadership styles. For this, it was highly effective. I liked it then, and was pleased to see it again after many years.

An American Colonel (Gregory Peck) whose aim is to improve the morale of an American daylight Bomber Group flying from an English war time aerodrome. They had sustained high losses...

Some excellent air to air shots filmed at the time - but essentially, it is the human aspect which makes this film for me.

VHS : X The Unknown [1956]
X The Unknown, directed by film buff Barry Norman's father, is a gem. Now available in the full uncut version, despite the low-budget special effects, the film still has the power to chill. It's a great idea, set in a remote part of the UK and does not pull its punches as children die or radiation poisoning, hands melt away before your very eyes, and a giant blob goes on the rampage ! The opening sequences, in which troops on training meet up with 'the thing,' are splendidly low key and imaginatively directed. One of the best of its kind and almost up to the standard of the legendary Quatermass 2

10.The North Star [1943] starring: Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, Walter Brennan, Ann Harding
