2.Fatal Vision [1984] starring: Karl Malden, Eva Marie Saint, Barry Newman, Gary Cole, Andy Griffith directed by: David Greene
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £22.95
Although director David Greene is known almost exclusively for his work in television, this movie is several notches above most TV fare. Running a full three hours and twenty minutes in two parts, Fatal Vision is just about as riveting as the book of the same name from which it was adapted. The screenplay by long time Hollywood pro John Gay amounts to an indictment of army Captain Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, but then again so did the book. Gary Cole gives a convincing performance as the former Green Beret army officer who was accused, and then some nine years after the fact, convicted of the murder of his pregnant wife Collette and two young daughters. Karl Malden plays Freddy Kassab, Collette's father, with his usual skill, while Eva ... Read More:

3.The Gathering Storm [2002] starring: Albert Finney, Vanessa Redgrave, Jim Broadbent, Linus Roache, Lena Headey directed by: Richard Loncraine September 15, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.99
All performances in this film are remarkable, but especially Linus Roache stands out with a superb performance, as the man with a conscience, who made it possible for Winston Churchill to expose Chamberlains aid to Nazi Germany.

4.The Duellists [1977] starring: Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel, Albert Finney, Edward Fox, Cristina Raines directed by: Ridley Scott April 22, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.50
This was Ridley Scott's first movie and it won him an award at Cannes too ,with a great cast including Harvey keitel ,Keith carradine ,Edward fox and many more ,he had a great oppurtunity and he did not waste it for sure . There are obvious flaws in this really glossy look at eighteenth century europe where two maniacs duel with swords and pistols in every corner of europe from Marseilles to Lubeck over a period extending to almost two decades. Scott lights every corner and bush with a candle light or luminous mist to make this almost a romantic painting by Fragonard or Delacroix-but ultimately the 2 actors rescue him from turning the script into a stylised monstrosity-though only by a slight margin itself. Both Carradine ... Read More:

6.Serpico [1973] starring: Al Pacino, John Randolph, Jack Kehoe, Biff McGuire, Barbara Eda-Young directed by: Sidney Lumet August 06, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.74
This true story based film is set in the corruption addled 1970s New York police force, with Serpico as the only cop who wouldn't take the huge bribes on offer. This is a great film, a slow builder but definitely worth the time to see this story unfold. It's a fine movie.

7.Oliver / Annie / Annie 2 [1968] starring: Albert Finney, Shani Wallis, Ron Moody, Harry Secombe, Joan Collins directed by: John Huston, Carol Reed, Ian Toynton September 13, 2004

8.Who Dares Wins [1982] starring: Lewis Collins, Judy Davis, Richard Widmark, Edward Woodward, Robert Webber directed by: Ian Sharp May 12, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
This is actually a pretty bad film. The ideology is not as perverse as in those films Collins made later. However, my main misgivings about the film are that it is implausible and quite frankly boring for a long time. The whole concept of an ex-SAS man joining terrorists for no particular reason isn't very convincing and you can't help wondering why a group of highly organized terrorists (who later become pretty clueless) fall for it. The film starts with a pretty powerful scene but then meanders for quite a long time building up towards the great finale. Overall, I think Who dares wins could have been an interesting 45 minutes episode of The Professionals but the story doesn't carry a feature film. Although reasonably successful at the time this film initiated the ... Read More:

9.Galaxy Of Terror [1981] starring: Edward Albert, Erin Moran, Ray Walston, Bernard Behrens, Zalman King directed by: Bruce D. Clark September 30, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.99
I first saw this title in 1983 on VHS. I was a lot younger and it blew my mind, I thought it was great. Having seen it again since it has lost it little of its lustre and it looks very dated. The effects are mid-range the acting is mid-ranged, and the story is mid-ranged too. However, it has that B movie charm and can be a little gory. So lie back and laugh and enjoy this lovely piece of sci-fi hokum.
