3.Hope And Glory [1987] starring: Sarah Miles, David Hayman, Sebastian Rice-Edwards, Geraldine Muir, Sammi Davis directed by: John Boorman October 03, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
One of the best film on WWII in London... and surprisingly enough not available in the UK (and not even in European format). I first saw the film about 15 years ago and have now bought it for my daughter (it fits perfectly with the year 3 curriculum) and of course for me. I think we've watched it about 10 times over the last 6 months. Moving and fun, don't hesitate to buy it.

4.Dead Man's Folly [1985] starring: Peter Ustinov, Jean Stapleton, Constance Cummings, Tim Pigott-Smith, Jonathan Cecil directed by: Clive Donner August 21, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.20
This is not one of the best productions of Christie's books. The acting isn't great--with the exception of Ustinov and a couple of the minor characters. In fact, the person playing Hastings was dreadful. I don't what the problem is, but I still have to see a good Hastings on screen. The saving grace is Agatha Christie's story, which is enjoyable.

5.Twenty One [1991] starring: Patsy Kensit, Jack Shepherd, Patrick Ryecart, Maynard Eziashi, Rufus Sewell directed by: Don Boyd January 26, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £14.95
Having finally seen it, it struck me how much of air of melancholy hangs over the film - even ennui. It's almost as if the film represents a kind of quiet, bittersweet recognition that the 'freedom' and 'individualism' promised by the Conservative regime of the 1980s turned out to be cold comfort, after the various shades of grey offered by state socialism had become 'so last century!'. In that sense, just as the apparently tiresome luxury of her life mirrors the dull compulsion of the marketplace (with only a heroin-addicted boyfriend and migrant musician able to add 'earthy' colours) Kensit's character seems to be rummaging around in the hinterlands of her psyche hoping she'll find a rationale for the belief that loneliness and soulless sex ...

8.How to Get Ahead in Advertising starring: Richard E. Grant, Rachel Ward, Richard Wilson, Jacqueline Tong, John Shrapnel directed by: Bruce Robinson
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.83
Maybe I was in the wrong mood, but I failed to find anything funny in the movie. Perhaps one of the last British comedies before 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', it shows how experimental such films could be. Rachel Ward, as Grant's wife, is a strikingly mediocre actress. Even Grant fails to convince in some of his more traumatised moments. But the biggest rotten tomato has to go to the scriptwriter, Bruce Robinson. He's far better in the more philosophical moments than in the attempts at humour. Even the dialogue that moves the plot along sounds hollow. Dire.

9.A TV Dante - The Inferno Cantos I-VIII [1989] starring: Bob Peck, Joanne Whalley, John Gielgud, Laurie Booth, Susan Wooldridge directed by: Peter Greenaway, Raoul Ruiz, Tom Phillips March 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £60.00
I saw this amazing TV adaptation around a decade ago, and it is a reminder of how potent TV can be and how it is possible for a literary adaptation to be something that isn't 19th Century and/or written by Andrew Davies. This book made me want to read The Divine Comedy (the Dorothy L Sayers translation is excellent) and here we have an excerpt from Inferno (aka Hell). Greenaway is always visually sumptuous, this looks as mindblowing as Drowning By Numbers, A Zed with Two Noughts or The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. The Greenaway film which this is closest to is probably that of The Tempest- 1990's Prospero's Books (which I feel is underrated- though not as much fun as the Animated Tales or Derek Jarman's version). Joanne Whalley features ... Read More:
