1.Now Voyager [1942] starring: Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Gladys Cooper, John Loder directed by: Irving Rapper February 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.30
In my opinion, compromise is the theme of the film. Charlotte doesn't end up with her chap, but she is infinitely better off at the end of the film than at the beginning. It shows a succesfull cure to a mental illness. How uplifting that must have been in 1942. Before that, mentally ill characters in Hollywood movies were dragged screaming to asylums and never seen again. It is my favorite fim of all time, and I would love to see it in a cinema to see Bette Davis' face 15 feet tall in a close up.

2.The Pirate [1948] starring: Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Walter Slezak, Gladys Cooper, Reginald Owen directed by: Vincente Minnelli August 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.87
I first saw this film when I was a girl, and vividly remember Gene Kelly swinging from balcony to balcony, looking extremely fit and attractive! The whole of the film takes you away to another, far-off world, and you can forget modern life for a while. I absolutely love it and bought 3 copies for friends and family when it became available on vhs. I highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of the modern day violence and swearing in most films these days, as a wonderful light-hearted story which will whisk you away for a couple of hours of pure entertainment and bliss!

3.My Fair Lady [1965] starring: Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Gladys Cooper directed by: George Cukor September 03, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.26
The title says it all, I think and the reviewer who considers it classist and misogynist has obviously failed to see the point of the movie which actually makes fun of these attitudes. Remember the scene at Mrs. Higgin's house or Alfred P. Doolite's remarks on 'middle-class morality' - hardly narrow-minded.

4.The Laurence Olivier Collection--Hamlet, Henry V, That Hamilton Woman, 21 Days, The Boys from Brazil [1937] starring: Laurence Olivier, James Mason, Lilli Palmer, Denholm Elliott, Michael Gough directed by: Laurence Olivier, Franklin J. Schaffner, Basil Dean, Alexander Korda November 12, 2001

5.Separate Tables - Plus The Original Theatrical Trailer [1958] starring: Deborah Kerr, Rita Hayworth, David Niven, Wendy Hiller, Burt Lancaster directed by: Delbert Mann September 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.94
This is a movie centred around a marvellous story. David Niven plays a 'fake' Major. This is because he hides a secret past which is about to become public knowledge at a small Hotel where he has been staying some time. He is 'sweet' on a 'spinster-ish' woman (Deborah Kerr) who's dominated by her possessive mother (Gladys Cooper) There are other stories within this picture, but the story between 'The Major' and 'Sybil' is by far the most touching and absorbing. There are some wonderful scenes in this, and David Niven gives an outstanding performance and gets much sympathy from the Viewer. This film not only shows how cruel and judgmental people can be, but how the best can be brought out after their shame ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.50
In 1941 Alexander Korda directed one of the best films of the 1940s and even of all time.Staring Laurence Olivier(Henry V) as Lord Nelson and Vivien Leigh (Gone with the Wind)as Emma Hamilton.Made in World War 2 can be clearly seen as a bit of a proganda film of the time.This film took 6 weeks to film and every scene looks fresh you wouldnt get a movie done that quick these days.From there first meeting in Italy to the scene where Lady Hamilton is informed of Lord Nelsons death at the Battle of Trafalgar the movie is classic story telling the likes of what seem to be extintc some times.This was Winston Churchills favorite movie probabaly due to it being very proud of being british and the hidden messages about defending you country and freedom.A true classic ...
