2.Badlands [1973] starring: Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates, Ramon Bieri directed by: Terrence Malick September 08, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.99
Great works of art are very much of their time, but have a relevance and impact long afterwards - and this is a great work of art. A simple story - disfunctional couple on the run, but told with great artistry and 'truth', with actors burdgeoning into great careers, and with much to say about US society, disaffection, and the cult of celebrity killers. The cinematography is groundbreakingly beautiful, and surely the use of music has never been bettered - this movie sears itself into your brain. Enthralling, gripping, funny, brutal (death is sad and real and pitiful), and simply a benchmark of US film-making that might never be bettered. How many DVDs do you watch right through the end credits? I found ... Read More:

4.The Sicilian [1987] starring: Christopher Lambert, Terence Stamp, Joss Ackland, John Turturro, Richard Bauer directed by: Michael Cimino September 25, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.85
No joke, this is two hours of amateurish stuff, which cannot really be called cinema without upsetting someone up there. I just went back to see some of the scenes of this movie again because they are so ridiculous I wanted to have another go! So, let's start in the right order (warning, contains some spoilers, but you're not really going to watch this movie, are you?): - The fact that the movie was entirely in English should have given it away, very funny to hear would-be sicilians talking to each other in English. - Past that, we encounter the limping professor. An attempt to add a sinister touch to an otherwise meaningless character. Very amateurish. - Then came signs and inscriptions throughout the ... Read More:

6.A Christmas Without Snow [1980] starring: Michael Learned, John Houseman, Ramon Bieri, James Cromwell, Valerie Curtin directed by: John Korty October 21, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.94
I agree with the previous comment. I find it hard to believe that this could be issued, as the quality is totally abysmal. I enjoyed the movie on TV, but when it came to watching it on this DVD it was a total disappointment. Are the later issues from a different copy?

7.The Andromeda Strain [1970] starring: Arthur Hill, David Wayne, James Olson, Kate Reid, Paula Kelly directed by: Robert Wise March 06, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.99
As I have never seen the version referred to in other reviews on here, I can't comment on the effect of the removal of the ticker tape intros to various scenes. However, the film as it stands i would give 5 stars; tense, thought provoking, well acted, tightly directed and generally very entertaining. The quality of the video could be slightly better (the film seems too dark in some places) but the film itself is top notch.
