1.UB40 - Labour of Love starring: UB40 directed by: Bernard Rose
>>More Details		Used Price: £7.25

2.Candyman [1992] starring: Virginia Madsen, Xander Berkeley, Tony Todd, Kasi Lemmons, Vanessa Williams directed by: Bernard Rose March 21, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.50
Tony Todd at his most menacing. Given its low budget, it manages to be much scarier than many glossy horror movies, and has several top quality shock scenes. You can almost smell the grime oozing from the blocks of flats, and the protagonists descent into her own personal hell is very well handled. It succeeded in spooking me so much that I gave myself a fright looking in the mirror on the way to bed

3.Immortal Beloved [1995] starring: Gary Oldman, Jeroen Krabbé, Isabella Rossellini, Johanna ter Steege, Marco Hofschneider directed by: Bernard Rose February 13, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.50
The title of the film relates to a letter sent by Beethoven to a lady with whom he had fallen in love. But the name of that lady is unknown and this mystery has long fascinated Beethoven scholars. Many have been the names put in the frame. Bernard Rose, who wrote as well as directed this movie, presents his theory. Is it Giuletta Giucciardi, Countess Gallenberg, or Anna-Marie, Countess Erdody, or Johanna Reiss, his sister-in-law? There is so much that is wrong with this film - for example, its historical inaccuracies; the lack of consistency in accents; and the use of hilly Prague to portray flat Vienna. Watching this film I was often confronted with the crass, the artless, the preposterous, the embarrassing, and the laughable. We have comedy ... Read More:

6.Paperhouse [1989] starring: Charlotte Burke, Jane Bertish, Samantha Cahill, Glenne Headly, Sarah Newbold directed by: Bernard Rose July 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.45
The uniformly warm and positive reviews here on Amazon convinced me to add 'Paperhouse' to my rental list - but what a disappointment. I certainly wasn't looking for any kind of gore-fest, but I would struggle to describe this as a horror film. True, the concept is an interesting one, and the cinematography is wonderfully imaginative at times. But the very, very flat performances of all but the two central characters made me feel as though I was watching not a cult classic or lost masterpiece - more like a sunday afternoon BBC2 drama (from the eighties). Perhaps some of the other reviewers were wearing the rose-tinted spectacles of sentimentality, having fallen in love with the film when they saw its original release? That is surely the only explanation to justify ... Read More:

7.Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina [1997] starring: Sophie Marceau, Sean Bean, Alfred Molina, Mia Kirshner, James Fox directed by: Bernard Rose June 08, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £14.00
I first saw this version of Tolstoy`s Classic some years ago. I was enchanted and captivated by the sheer beauty of the production, the superb performances of the actors and the breathtaking tragedy of Anna as portrayed by Sophie Marceau. I have waited with patience for this wonderful film to be released on DVD. This version, originating in Germany has been cut to shreds. So much of the original is missing, it`s like watching a ` highlight show`. Furthermore, the English language Dolby 2.0 film is stuck with German Sub Titles which cannot be removed. As one who now lives in Denmark, although familiar with this practice (The Danes do it too), I found it nonetheless irritating to have words printed across the chests of the actors, diverting attention from the film on screen. ...

10.Ivans XTC [2002] starring: Danny Huston, Peter Weller, James Merendino, Adam Krentzman, Lisa Enos directed by: Bernard Rose June 30, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.13
I stumbled upon this dvd and have watched it since 2 or 3 times. Its bleak and beautiful, with a soundtrack and pretty faces to match. Not a pleasant little movie, but i keep recommending it to people. The idea that we can go on, indefinately, whilst seeing the doctor and keeping one's faculties together - a hard enough task be it with the un-glorious peep show of Hollywood as the backdrop. I keep looking for the soundtrack, but to no avail. Perhaps I'd buy it in dvd format, and turn the contrast off, so as just to listen. But then I'd want to see Ivan's grin, and the pretty people, and the door closing, with that light fading out. Again and again.
