VHS : Two Way Stretch [1960]
...and any other for that matter!

If you wanna watch comedic genius at it's earliest best, in a thoroughly charming and hysterically funny British comedy film, then please put this close to the top of your list!

All the leads give outstanding accounts of themselves ...but it's Mr Sellers' sublime talent that shines the brightest! Quite simply a gem! 10/10

VHS : The Third Man [1949]
Everything about this movie works. If anyone wants to see how a movie should be directed and edited, or a screenplay written, or complex characters acted, or a film photographed, this is the one to flip in the DVD machine.

Holly Martins, a down-on-his-luck writer, shows up in post-war Vienna looking for his old friend, Harry Lime. But he's told Lime died in an accident, the military tell him to go home, and he's attracted to a mysterious woman he sees at Lime's grave. He sticks around, gets different stories about Lime, but finally understands Lime was an unscrupulous black marketeer, dealing in adulterated drugs among other things. And he realizes that Lime is alive.

Carol Reed was at the top of his form with this movie. ... Read More:

VHS : In Search Of The Castaways [1961]
Just wanted to point out that it isn't a 'Jules Verne' classic - rather a Robert Louis Stevenson classic. It took me a long time to remember the name of this film (I loved it as a kid) and I'm looking forward to watching it again.

VHS : Northwest Frontier [1959]
This British film, released in the United States under the name "Flame OVer India", takes place in India in 1905, during the time of the British Raj. As usual, there is some insurrection taking place in the Northwest frontier, and a Captain Scott (Kenneth Moore) is charged with taking a young Indian crown prince, along with Catherine Wyatt (Lauren Bacall), his American governess, to safety. The prince is a Hindu, and it seems that some Muslim rebels wish to kill him.

Captain Scott, who keeps a stiff upper lip at all times, commissions an old wreck of a train with an illustrious name, The Empress of India, to get him and his charges to safety. They board this train with several others, both British and Indian, one of whom harbors a traitorous secret. ... Read More:

VHS : My Fair Lady [1965]
The title says it all, I think and the reviewer who considers it classist and misogynist has obviously failed to see the point of the movie which actually makes fun of these attitudes. Remember the scene at Mrs. Higgin's house or Alfred P. Doolite's remarks on 'middle-class morality' - hardly narrow-minded.
