1.Song Of The South [1946] starring: Ruth Warrick, Bobby Driscoll, James Baskett, Luana Patten, Lucile Watson directed by: Wilfred Jackson, Harve Foster July 03, 2000

This is one of the best Disney films ever - the story and the songs are brilliant and really catchy. I would love to buy this on DVD as my tape is getting worn. Please Disney do a DVD - everyone loves this film!!!

2.Monte Carlo or Bust [1969] starring: Tony Curtis, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Susan Hampshire, Jack Hawkins July 15, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £14.97
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are only two of the galaxy of stars who all have great parts in this classic 60's comedy about the famous car rally across Europe. Tony Curtis, Terry Thomas, Eric Sykes, Susan Hampshire and Gert Frobel all have dirty tricks up their sleeves to be first across the line as they face the hazards of the frozen North, the Alps etc. "Pete n' Dud" appear as two maniac Army officers in what is my favourite of all their performances. This film is the real story of the 60's cartoon serial "The Wacky Races" and you will recognise the Dick Dastardly character immediately as Terry Thomas (and Eric Sykes, the sneaky butler who translates brilliantly as "Mutley, The Snickering Hound" in "The Wacky Races"!) The media coverage of ... Read More:

3.Sleeping Beauty [Disney 1959] starring: Mary Costa, Bill Shirley, Eleanor Audley, Verna Felton, Barbara Luddy directed by: Clyde Geronimi May 22, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
This is my favourite Disney movie. The backgrounds are detailed and stylised like a series of medieval tapestries. The intergration of the characters in what look like the best sets ever designed for a semi-swashbuckling musical/comedy/thriller is stunning. I still get frightened when the fire goes out and Maleficent appears to tempt Aurora through the back of the fireplace (Maleficent being a truly evil villainess). The score is superbly used in these scenes. Brilliant stuff.

4.Dumbo (1941) (Disney) [1942] starring: Edward Brophy, Sterling Holloway, Verna Felton, Cliff Edwards, Herman Bing directed by: Ben Sharpsteen April 11, 2005

dumbo is brilliant and so cute. They should bring dumbo back out and see more of him.

I do not get why so many people consider this to be 'best Disney movie ever.' For me, it was never one of my favourites. It's not really bad, but I do not consider it to be that good either, especially when compared to Walt's earlier efforts such as Snow White. To be honest, I feel that some of Disney's so-called 'dark age' efforts such as The Rescuers are better than this. The animation is alright-ish. The backgrounds are beautiful but seem rather scratchy and flat. There are a few zany sequences, but not really enough to keep me entertained. There is hardly any plot, and most of it doesn't even stay true to the book. It's a shame, because there were some wonderful characters that had real potential. The character development was the only real strong ... Read More:

Very impressed with the speed and effeciency of delivery. Watched it this afternoon, it has not lost any of its magic - well worth the money.

7.The Sound Of Music [1965] starring: Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, Richard Haydn, Peggy Wood, Anna Lee directed by: Robert Wise April 09, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
If "West Side Story" was the best musical film of the sixties, then "The Sound of Music," adapted from the long-running Broadway musical play about Maria Von Trapp and her singing family, was certainly the most popular... With a story that includes the right amount of family sentiment (the Von Trapp children never quarrel among themselves), religion (in the Hollywood tradition of serene, kind nuns), romance (actually two romances, one adult, one adolescent), and anti-Nazi feeling (Captain Von Trapp refuses to surrender to the Nazi invaders)--and with director Robert Wise who is in fact a solid, conscientious craftsman and a fluent story-teller mercifully free of grandiose pretensions, "The Sound of Music" is perfect with its sumptuous location photography, immaculate, ...

8.Mary Poppins (1964) (Disney) [1965] starring: Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, Glynis Johns, Hermione Baddeley directed by: Robert Stevenson September 16, 1991

In this film, the Banks family suffer from the typical problems of a family in 1910. Mr George Banks (David Thomlinson) is too wrapped up in his work at the bank to notice his children, Jane and Michael, who always seems to be in trouble. He thinks that his life is perfect and at one. Then Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) shows up and proves him wrong. From jumping through chalk pavement pictures to bringing life to the Banks household, Mary Poppins is the best nanny. The animated sequence is pure Disney (I like the cute Irish fox, myself.) The penguin dance is particularly memorable. And you'll be all over the ceiling as you laugh with funny Uncle Albert (Ed Wyn)! Julie Andrews is brilliant as Mary Poppins. She has a great voice and some of the musical numbers are quite ... Read More:

now it may be a classic, but i'm afraid i was really disappointed with this film. my 5 yr old was frankly bored watching this, it was very slow to get moving. the story line was not what i was expecting. the jimmney cricket / conscience was to abstract for him to understand in the way it was presented. and there was a terrible bit later on with pinnochio getting drunk and smoking cigars. that bit raised a few tricky questions. what i had expected the main story line to be - pinnochio's nose growing long when he lied, occured only once for about 20 seconds in the middle of the film and never again. we will not be watching this one again sadly not enjoyable or educational

10.Silk Stockings [1957] starring: Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Janis Paige, Peter Lorre, George Tobias directed by: Rouben Mamoulian March 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
There are a number of good things about Silk Stockings, but there also is a professional finality about the movie that makes it easier to observe than to be delighted by it. It was one of the last of the big MGM musicals coming from Arthur Freed's production unit. It was the last musical Fred Astaire made as the lead. It was the last film directed by Rouben Mamoulian. It was based on the last Broadway musical Cole Porter wrote. Silk Stockings also was used to make a statement about the excesses some thought were ruining films and music...the advent of rock and roll and the technological changes in films with wide screen and stereo sound. It even takes a crack at the fashion for ballet in many musicals. You've got to be very clever and original to successfully parody things which are already self ... Read More:
