VHS : Hear My Song [1991]
It doesn't matter if you have never heard of this Irish tenor, or even like that kind of music, this is a marvelously warm film. Adrian Dunbar is a promoter of a club, in the UK, who normally books look-a-likes, however after several disasters he decides to find the man himself - Josef Locke (yes, this is the correct spelling). He travels to Ireland and after some searching he finally meets him and persuades him to come back and do one last performance. The reason for Josef being in Ireland is to avoid UK tax, of which he owes an undisclosed amount. With the UK police trying to catch him this is a more than pleasant caper. (And I bet you can't help humming the main theme, "Hear my song")

VHS : Funny Bones [1995]
I have yet to actually meet someone else outside our family who has seen this masterpiece. It is a work of genius. It's hugely funny , worrying, sad, tragic and uplifting - and there aren't too many film you can say that about.

The breadth of strange talent on display is staggering. The one man marching band who uses no instruments and the biscuit tin tap dancer to name but two.

The leads are universally excellent. Oliver Platt went on to do wonderful work (see The Imposters)and Lee Evans has never been funnier. leslie Caron is gorgeous, Jerry Lewis is bravely unlikeable and even the dog "Toast" has character. The film for me is stolen by the two older performers, Freddie Davies and George Carl who have gravity, ... Read More:

VHS : Serendipity [2002]
This is a great feel good romance to be enjoyed by big boys and girls alike, curled up together on the sofa. It is all about fate and whether two people are meant to be together. The signs are always there to guide us in love and life, but will you see them or be able to read them?

John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale who take excellent parts, are out Christmas shopping and meet when both try to buy the last pair of black gloves in Bloomingdales. Destiny has brought them together and they hit it off straight away. They go for a coffee, spend a little time together and both feel that there is something special between them, but neither is free!

The gorgeous Miss Beckinsale, full of fun and life, hits on a plan to let fate decide ... Read More:

4.The Mighty [1998] starring: Harry Dean Stanton, Gena Rowlands, Elden Henson, Douglas Bisset, Joseph Perrino

VHS : The Mighty [1998]
This is a superb film that, inexplicably, is not well known.

A gentle giant of a boy who has been almost irrevocably damaged by terrible events in his childhood is brought back to life by a small disabled boy.
This disabled boy is given a chance to see the world - and live in his own world with this huge companion.

It is funny, sweet and very emotional - but never in a contrived manner.

How it didn't get an Oscar - or Elden Henson (the actor who plays Max Kane) didn't get an Oscar I'll never understand.

See it - and enjoy.
