2.Theorem [1968] starring: Silvana Mangano, Terence Stamp, Massimo Girotti, Anne Wiazemsky, Laura Betti
directed by: Pier Paolo Pasolini

VHS : Theorem [1968]
This is a great film, but it requires more patients than a bankrupt proctologist. The difficulty in watching this film is that the symbols are not the servants to the meaning, but the masters, and few people like watching a film that is "unrealistic" because form revolts over matter. It feels at times like T.S. Eliot has taken Emily Dickinson by the hand and is giving her a guided tour of the Waste Land.
I admire this film greatly but I will never like it.

3.Kiss The Sky (PAL) starring: William L. Petersen, Terence Stamp, Gary Cole, Sheryl Lee

VHS : Far From The Madding Crowd [1967]
One of Thomas Hardy's best-loved novels is sensitively and accurately dramatised in this 1967 classic.

Upon inheriting her uncle's farm, the beautiful and assertive Bathsheba Everdene (Julie Christie) is the most sought after maiden in the whole of Weatherbury. She's forced to choose between the affections of three very different men; local shepherd Gabriel Oak, gentleman farmer Mr. Boldwood and the womanising Sargeant Frank Troy. Here, Hardy's classic tale of love, betrayal and tragedy is faithfully dramatised. Personally though, I think the 1998 Paloma Baeza version is even better!

5.Prince Of Shadows [1992] starring: Terence Stamp, Patsy Kensit, José Luis Gómez, Geraldine James, Simón Andreu

VHS : Superman - The Movie [1978]
superman the movie comes to dvd. one of the biggest movies of the 70's, this brought the dc comics character to the big screen. It runs for over two hours, taking most of the films first half to tell superman's origin story, and then once the character is established he has to deal with a plot from criminal genius lex luthor.

Coming back to this, which I hadn't seen in a while, I was instantly struck by the superb jerry goldsmith score. the title music really goes with the character. and christopher reeve who took the lead - an unknown at the time - was superb, making his clark kent and superman two totally separate characters. margot kidder is an excellent lois lane, feisty and beautiful. gene hackman is pretty good as lex luthor ...

9.Poor Cow [1967] starring: Terence Stamp, Carol White, John Bindon, Queenie Watts, Kate Williams

VHS : Poor Cow [1967]
"Poor Cow" is my favourite Ken Loach film. In fact, it is my favourite film of all time. I only discovered it 2 years ago and it has a very personal connection for me. I have since read the novel that inspired it and can state that it is a very honest and faithful dramatisation of Nell Dunn's text. It is a film about a side of London life to which many will be oblivious, and, of course, many will not.

Carol White is superb as Joy, whose first name is not as ironic as it may seem. Her life may well be a vortex of poverty, squalor and unhappiness, but White (through her acting) and Loach (through his direction) portray the character with compassion and strength as someone who is sassy and fun. This same compassion shows through in all the other ... Read More:
