1.A Matter Of Life And Death [1946] starring: David Niven, Kim Hunter, Robert Coote, Kathleen Byron, Richard Attenborough directed by: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger April 10, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.93
This film has a fabulous opening sequence, and a lovely opening scene featuring David Niven as 'Peter Carter' and Kim Hunter as 'June'. This is a fascinating movie with an interesting topic, and as so many have said before; this is a film way ahead of its time. The fact that this was filmed using both black and white and colour adds to the 'Special Effects'. 'Peter Carter' gets a second chance at life and love when he has to jump from a crashing Aeroplane during the War. Marius Goring stars in one of his most 'colourful' roles as the 'Conductor 71' character. Also stars Raymond Massey. An entertaining movie.

3.MacKenna's Gold [1969] starring: Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, Telly Savalas, Camilla Sparv, Keenan Wynn directed by: J. Lee Thompson June 02, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.75
I first saw this film at the cinema in 1970 and 37 years later it is just as good. A fist full of great actors and a story that everyone dreams about is the ideal recipe for one of the best movies of the era. The plot is simple... pure, naked greed... the story of the lost Adams, the canyon del oro, the hidden mine of Inca gold etc. It all makes for a fabulous adventure in the mould of the classic Saturday Matinee that left thousands of movie goers breathless. Yes Indiana! this is where you found your inspiration.

4.The Fountainhead [1949] starring: Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, Raymond Massey, Kent Smith, Robert Douglas directed by: King Vidor February 19, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £24.99
This has to be, by any measure, one of the most spectacularly bizarre films ever made based, of course, upon one of the dottiest books! With the character of Howard Roark, Rand personified her own unique `objectivist' philosophy and Vidor put it on the screen in the form of Gary Cooper who enunciates his lines even more robotically than usual rather as if he can't quite believe what he is being required to say! The script, penned by Rand herself, requires that almost every character deliver their lines as if each were their last and most heroic utterance! The symbolism, too, is hardly subtle. For example, in one scene the heroine, Dominique Francon, played by Patricia Neal, beautiful but hard, frigid and sanctimonious, first encounters Roark while ... Read More:

5.The Scarlet Pimpernel [1934] starring: Leslie Howard, Merle Oberon, Raymond Massey, Nigel Bruce, Bramwell Fletcher directed by: Harold Young July 14, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.52
With the Reign of Terror in full swing, and the Committee of Public Safety seeking to murder all of the aristocrats that it can lay its hands on, things seem very bleak. But, there is one man who is standing up to Citizen Robespierre and stealing his victims right out of his grasp, the Scarlet Pimpernel! And so Robespierre calls upon the one man that can catch this troublesome English aristocrat, Citizen Chauvelin (Raymond Massey). Can Chauvelin track down the Pimpernel and snuff out the last hopes of the enemies of the Revolution? Watch and find out! [B&W, created in 1934, with a running time of 1:37 minutes.] This movie is considered a classic, and it is easy to see why. Overall, I found this to be a great old movie with lots of great acting. ... Read More:

6.The Drum [1938] starring: Sabu, Raymond Massey, Roger Livesey, Valerie Hobson, David Tree directed by: Zoltan Korda October 14, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £24.97
The Drum came out the year before The Four Feathers; it's fun but not as good. The time is the years before World War I. Sabu plays Prince Azim, a young princeling from a British protectorate up near the Khyber pass. His uncle, Prince Ghul, killed Sabu's father, the rightful ruler, and chased Sabu out. Prince Ghul is played by Raymond Massey with sneering lips, bulging eyes and dark makeup. After several adventures as Prince Azim tries to escape Prince Ghul's assassins, young Azim contacts Captain Carruthers (Roger Livesey), whom he had met earlier. Carruthers and a small contingent of British troops set out for the principality to inforce a peace treaty, not knowing that Ghul is organizing the mountain tribes in a revolt against the British. Will Prince Azim be believed ... Read More:

8.Arsenic And Old Lace [1944] starring: Cary Grant, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre directed by: Frank Capra February 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.39
Entertaining, but also contrived and overdone. Cary Grant's manic zeal is ultimately tiresome. NB Screwball comedies of the 40s are an acquired taste.

9.The Naked And The Dead [1958] starring: Aldo Ray, Cliff Robertson, Raymond Massey, Lili St. Cyr, Barbara Nichols directed by: Raoul Walsh
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.99

10.Reap The Wild Wind [1942] starring: John Wayne, Ray Milland, Paulette Goddard, Raymond Massey directed by: Cecil B. De Mille July 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.40
I first saw Reap the Wild Wind on Channel 2 in Astoria, Queens, New York on a Sunday -- on the TV movie which ran at 1:00pm, while all us churchgoers were home now, and Mother was putting the roast on. Reap was and is an American story. We first meet Loxi(Paulette Goddard), a provacative, headstrong young woman who is involved in her work -- she's not sittin' home, fannin' herself, havin' juleps. Our first sight of her shows her out on the waves, rescuing downed shipmen. She becomes torn between two strong men -- the understated, determined sea captain (John Wayne) and his antagonist (Ray Milland), a lawyer for the ship's firm who's out to prove that our wonderful captain deliberately scuttled "The Southern Cross" -- for profit! We see Paulette ... Read More:
