1.Flying Down To Rio [1933] starring: Dolores del Rio, Gene Raymond, Raul Roulien, Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire directed by: Thornton Freeland February 09, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.17
FLYING DOWN TO RIO is truly a pioneering musical made when such films were in the developmental stage. Many critics say that the movie is camp - but it is SO ENJOYABLE. Camp or not the movie is one of my favorites. Ginger and Fred look like they have been dancing together for ages. It is hard to tell that this is their debut as a team. Dolores Del Rio is beautiful. Gene Raymond is a real pro. The film has a huge cast with some great supporting actors such as Franklin Pangborn and Walter Walker. I recommend FLYING DOWN TO RIO without reservation - especially if you like old musicals.

2.Live And Let Die [1973] starring: Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Seymour, Clifton James, Julius Harris directed by: Guy Hamilton November 06, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
Roger Moore's debut as secret agent 007 is intriguing and exciting as he portrays the infamous James Bond in a very charming and secretive way, more so than Connery who was very professional and more rugged in his role. I'm personally a bigger fan of Connery and Brosnan but Moore still does the role justice in this 1973 adventure about Bond trying to track down a fate believing drug lord. The plot is slightly confusing the first half an hour in or so but once speed boats, helicopters, crocodiles and Solitaire are added the film takes a turn in the right direction, becoming exciting throughout. Its one of the more mysterious Bond films, with mystery surrounding significant characters and events right until the very end. ... Read More:

3.Melody Time starring: Roy Rogers, Trigger, Dennis Day, Laverne Andrews, Maxene Andrews directed by: Wilfred Jackson, Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Jack Kinney July 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.99
this film from 1947 is not as well known as most other disney animated films. It was being produced as the second world war was coming to as close and because most of disney's profits were low due to audiences in europe being cut off and money being trapped in other countries disney didn't have the money to create the masterpieces such as Fantasia, Snow White or pinocchio which had gone before it. however the film is still enjoyable the seven segments are all set to popular music (well it was popular back in 1947) and features acts such as the andrews sitsters. The film shows that although disney didn't have a lot of money they could still entertain. Another reason why this dvd is so good is that it is completey unedited. In recent years many films from ...

4.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: £24.96
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 ... Read More:

5.Bomber Harris [1989] starring: John Thaw, Robert Hardy, Frederick Treves, Bernard Kay, Sophie Thompson directed by: Michael Darlow November 04, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.49
Creating empathy for Harris with a German is not easy but this drama succeeded. First of all the film shows that Harris had a clear military target and a strategic objective. Furthermore the author plays devil's advocate in suggesting that Harris' strategy of aerial bombardment would have shortened the war as opposed to aiming at specific targets. Harris' duty as a soldier is to his men and his country regardless of the cost to others. Thaw plays him as a complex character: on the one hand as a ruthless soldier but on the other hand also as a human being. The film raises a lot of moral questions and does not provide easy answers but food for thought. It also sows what a fine actor John Thaw is: here he acts very restrained and controlled as opposed to his ... Read More:

6.U.F.O. - The Movie [1993] starring: Roy 'Chubby' Brown, Sara Stockbridge, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Amanda Symonds directed by: Tony Dow July 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.07
This is a very bad movie. If you don't like jokes about sex and about women vs. men, you shouldn't watch this movie. If you like movies with some sort of idea or story you shouldn't watch it either. But if you didn't like Chubby you probably wouldn't be here reading about his movies. This movie is every bit as good as the shows. Definitely not what would normally be referred to as a quality movie, but it's funny in the oddest way. It's British humor at it's best. Maybe not as refined as other great British comedians, but every bit as funny. A must for any Chubby fan.

9.Lorna Doone [1935] starring: Victoria Hopper, John Loder, Margaret Lockwood, Roy Emerton, Mary Clare directed by: Basil Dean August 21, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £8.99
The old B & W movie of Lorna Doone dating back to 1935 is the only one to use genuine Exmoor locations e.g where the book by R.D.Blackmore is set. More recent TV versions have been shot in Scotland and the Brecon Beacons. So if you want the real thing go for the 1935 version.
