1.War And Remembrance - Part 1 [1986] starring: Robert Mitchum, Jane Seymour, Hart Bochner, Victoria Tennant, Polly Bergen directed by: Tommy Groszman, Dan Curtis April 25, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.50
I found this final series exciting and deeply satisfying. The previous two parts (Winds of War, and part one of this) called very strongly for completion, and that is what we have here... IN SPADES! I found the same wonderful sense of historical perspective that I noted in my review of part one... I felt I had got an overall grasp of the essentials of a very important and complex period, but also, that I had seen, spelled out in graphic detail, the results of the concentrated arrogance, stupidity, and self-indulgence that the Nazi ideal foisted on this suffering planet during that time. Nothing in my life so far had prepared me for the absolute horror revealed in this coverage... and nothing, I am sure, will ever allow me to forget it... which ... Read More:

3.El Dorado [1967] starring: John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, James Caan, Charlene Holt, Paul Fix directed by: Howard Hawks
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.25
John Wayne plays Cole Thornton a hired gun who turns down a job to work for Bart Jason, as this would mean fighting his old mate J.P. (Robert Mitchum). In the end he fights with J.P. and Mississipi (James Caan) against Jason. Essentially this is virtual remake of Rio Bravo, and it isn't as good. Mitchum takes the Dean Martin role and James Cann the Ricky Nelson role. However Howard Hawks was a great filmmaker and he manages to make this a worthwhile and very entertaining movie in its own right. John Wayne is starting to show his age in this film. He was close to 60 when it was made, and Mitchum who was 10 years younger steals the film from Wayne. The kill or cure drunk cure for J.P. is probably the best scene in the film, and Mitchum ...

4.Dead Man [1996] starring: Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, Gary Farmer, Lance Henriksen, Michael Wincott directed by: Jim Jarmusch April 12, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.75
This is one of the most unique pieces of cinema I've ever had the pleasure on encountering. It is not dream 'like', it is as near you can get to dreaming without being asleep. And what a dream. Beautiful and haunting but brutal, insane but real. The William Blake reference is not just used to stick on some mystical aphorisms - Johnny Depps character could come straight from a Blake prophetic book, and big themes such as body and soul, when life begins and ends, innocence and experience sit on your shoulder - whilst you are engrossed and entertained by the wit, strangeness and vision before you. I've never felt closer to a truly different world-view than in this film - it shows the european savages for what they are. And the blakean visionary view and the American ... Read More:

5.Ryan's Daughter (1970) starring: Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles, John Mills directed by: David Lean
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.75
I caught this classic recently on TV. It is a strange storm -tossed dream of a movie from 1970; a tale of a troubled romance featuring Robert Mitchum and Sarah Miles. David Lean's visionary leanings run off the hook with symbolic weather and flora, Mitchum's solid, lonely turn is all there is to hang onto. I can only write about this film in superlatives. Foremost the photography - another excellent work by Freddie Young - honoured with an Academy Award, and the acting by John Mills, who won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his outstanding performance as the dumb fisherman. But I would have awarded Sarah Miles (she was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar). Robert Mitchum has never been better, he fills the widow village teacher's character with life. Robert ...

8.Cape Fear [1992] starring: Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, Juliette Lewis, Joe Don Baker directed by: Martin Scorsese
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.20
J. Lee Thompson's 1962 version of Cape Fear may not be a masterpiece, but in everyway it's a superior thriller to Martin Scorsese's horribly misjudged remake. More surprisingly, it's also much nastier even with the heavier censorship of the day - Robert Mitchum's treatment of Polly Bergen in the last reel is startlingly violent and disturbing even now and its still shocking to see an early 60s film that revolves around sex crimes. There's no doubt exactly what's on Mitchum's mind, whether he's eyeing up a pickup in a bar or breaking an egg in his fist and smearing the yolk over the mother's shoulders and neck: like a lazy reptile waiting to casually catch a fly with his tongue, he merely has to look at Gregory Peck's underage daughter to exude menace. Where the remake offered a dysfunctional family ... Read More:
