1.The Jazz Singer [1981] starring: Neil Diamond, Laurence Olivier, Lucie Arnaz, Catlin Adams, Franklyn Ajaye directed by: Richard Fleischer June 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.00
The Jazz Singer takes the wonderfull music of Niel Diamond and puts it to a very good script. I remember watching this when i was a kid and i have been a fan of niel diamond since. I got this recently and showed my wife it who had never seen it and wasnt a fan of niel diamond, guess what? she is now a fan of niel diamond and so is my 12 year old daughter who has watched the movie 4 or 5 times since i got it. Get it I gaurantee you will enjoy it.

2.Rebecca [1940] starring: Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Judith Anderson directed by: Alfred Hitchcock October 30, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.98
This fine movie is worth watching just for Laurence Olivier at his sophisticated sexiest. He exudes British qualities of confidance, pragmatism and eccentricity. The enigma surrounding his dark moods unfolds as the story continues. There is however, a lot more than him that is good in this film. Beautiful, doe eyed Joan Fontaine is well cast as his un-named second wife. The character is overwhelmed and out of place as the lady of a great house. Director Alfred Hitchcock told Joan that the rest of the cast hated her, to get that awkward feeling from her acting. This was hardly true, although Laurence had wanted his wife Vivien Leigh for the role. Hitchcock shows his skill and mastery of suspense here. This is an early ... Read More:

3.Battle Of Britain [1969] starring: Harry Andrews, Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Curd Jürgens, Ian McShane directed by: Guy Hamilton September 10, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.34
This is one of my all time favourite films. I remember eagerly waiting for it (its making was well trailed beforehand) and seeing it in its debut run at the Dominion in London - complete with commemorative booklet. I saw it several more times when it came out on general release so you will appreciate that it is a film that I love and can watch over and over again. However, it is a story and not a documentary as some reviewers have implied. It is one view of events and gives a taste of some of the ground level conflicts and difficulties. It would have taken a mini-series to do history full justice. Several reviewers have commented that some of the planes are not authentic and while that is true, they are lot more authentic than CGI creations. ... Read More:

4.Pride And Prejudice [1940] starring: Greer Garson, Laurence Olivier, Mary Boland, Edna May Oliver, Maureen O'Sullivan directed by: Robert Z. Leonard February 19, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £8.49
I hadn't seen this film since I was a child, and didn't have the highest expectations having heard throughly mixed comments surrounding it. I can honestly say that it was an absolutely lovely surprise. No, it isn't completely faithful to the novel, but neither is any other adaptation (not even the much loved 1995 version- I don't remember any scene in the novel where Darcy takes a bath or a dip in the lake), and it's true that the costumes are far more Civil War than English Regency, but this is one of the rare examples in which it doesn't really matter because it's just so charmingly done. Greer Garson is simply magnificent as Elizabeth Bennet- poised, intelligent, gracious and witty and is excellently matched by Laurence Olivier's Darcy. These two ... Read More:

5.The Merchant Of Venice [1974] starring: Laurence Olivier, Joan Plowright, Jeremy Brett, Michael Jayston, Anthony Nicholls directed by: John Sichel September 07, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £9.99
With an excellent cast, and my favourite quote in all shakespeare..'the fool multitude who judge by show...' delivered by a superb actor and totally cut out of the pacino version, an unforgivable error, and a pasty vague version with very little memorable characters or scenes to boot, this version just flies above it in all regards, and worth buying a video recorder for alone.How dare pacino dumb down this masterpiece!

6.Mr Halpern And Mr Johnson (1983) (Tv-Drama) starring: Laurence Olivier, Jackie Gleason directed by: Alvin Rakoff

7.Spartacus [1960] starring: Stanley Kubrick\|Kirk Douglas\|Laurence Olivier\|Jean Simmons July 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.29
Spartacus is that genuine rarity, an epic that successfully combines the intellectual with the emotional, giving it an edge on almost all of its contemporaries - even Anthony Mann's superb Fall of the Roman Empire, which is never able to fully reconcile the two in its leading characters. It was Mann who shot the striking opening sequences in the Libyan salt mines before being replaced by Kubrick, allegedly for losing his grip on the gladiator school sequences (though it seems everyone involved offers a different reason), and his trademark use of landscape to define character is very much in evidence. Spartacus begins the film as a virtual animal, mute, biting his guard, a creature of pure instinct. Yet through his fight for his freedom, he learns dignity ... Read More:

8.King Lear [1983] starring: Laurence Olivier, Colin Blakely, Anna Calder-Marshall, Jeremy Kemp, Robert Lang (II) directed by: Michael Elliott April 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.50
Well, having seen this particular play at home especially made for TV, I had expected it to be fairly poor. Surprisingly enough, all actors young and new prove to convey a brilliant interpretation of Shakespeare's existentialist-before-time play on human existence! Had kept a VHS copy when it was broadcast around 1988 here in Portugal, but now I have this chance of getting it on DVD. Too bad about the absence of subtitles, but then again, with such vivid metaphors as those of The Bard, perhaps it is just a perfect invitation to grab the play on paper and have a look at it once in a while...!

9.Othello [1964] starring: Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Robert Lang, Frank Finlay, Joyce Redman directed by: Stuart Burge July 28, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £15.00
At first you are impressed at the list of actors that appear (Maggie Smith, Derek Jacobi, and others). Then you are impressed with Olivier (makeup and acting style). Later you notice the great camera work that gives you the feel of the play and focuses in just the right place and time. The set gives us the feel we are watching the play (not some epic movie). After the initial thrill you are so mesmerized by the play that all you see is the characters and the story augmented with Shakespeare's wit. Othello and Desdemona are the perfect husband and wife. They love and trust each other implicitly. It seems that many other people especially men love Desdemona also. However, his most trusted and "honest" friend decides to act on this by treachery and deceit to convince Othello ... Read More:

10.Jesus Of Nazareth [1977] starring: Robert Powell, Anne Bancroft, Ernest Borgnine, Claudia Cardinale, Valentina Cortese directed by: Franco Zeffirelli March 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.35
This film does not need many words to describe it. It chronicles the life of the Messiah and spreads the truth of His words. It is a wonderful film and Robert Powell portrays Christ in the most beautiful, uplifting way imaginable. It brought tears to my eyes on many occasions during the film. This film should be seen by everyone, it is quite simply breathtaking.
