1.An Angel At My Table [1990] starring: Kerry Fox, Alexia Keogh, Karen Fergusson, Iris Churn, Jessie Mune directed by: Jane Campion July 19, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.57
This is an enjoyable film. It has the beautiful scenery of New Zealand along with the harsh realities of how incommpassionate humans can be towards each other. It shows how adversity can triumph eventually. The three actresses who take the lead role in the various periods of Janet's life in this trilogy are excellant. The film is worth watching, but can seem "drawn out" at times; overcome that, and you have a good film.

2.The Piano [1993] starring: Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill, Anna Paquin, Kerry Walker directed by: Jane Campion November 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.06
I had this film on video tape, and it has been watched, and loaned out to friends so many times, it's worn out. So, I had to but the DVD!!!!!!!!!!! The special edition DVD is fascinating because if you already love the film, you are given an insight into the mind of the writer. I also loved watching the interview with the composer, being a keen piano player. The film is quite dark, dramatic and moody and the music is beautiful, matching perfectly the whole feel of the movie. Oh, and Holly Hunter actually plays the piano! Buy it!You won't be disappointed.

It's only recently that i've seen Muriel's wedding, and i loved it to bits from start to finish.

I remember watching this film when i was growing up and decided to have a flashback so i went online to buy this little beutie of a film.

I persoanlly think this is an amazing film that even adults can enjoy. Truely one of the classic family films that makes you feel all happy :D xxxxxxxxxxxxx

8.Dead Calm [1989] starring: Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill, Billy Zane, Rod Mullinar, Joshua Tilden directed by: Phillip Noyce July 28, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.84
In an age of over-budgeted films, this stands out as being a classic for it's non-nonsense approach that engages you into the endless miles of open water, and the exciting, though daunting, thought of being in the middle of a rescue and hostage situation. Billy Zane, who plays a homicidal maniac, puts in a strong performance which he seems to adapt better than his more 'sane' roles. Sam Neil offers his usual calm and content style that matches well with the ideology of calm open water, while Nicholle Kidman's take on his spouse is perhaps a little wooden, but these were early days for the actress, and it's credit that she took on the role so well. Dead Calm is not your 'modern-thriller', in which story and directing take second place. It is an ... Read More:

9.Portrait Of A Lady [1997] starring: Nicole Kidman, John Malkovich, Barbara Hershey, Mary-Louise Parker, Martin Donovan (II) directed by: Jane Campion July 17, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.48
We rented this film because we were so impressed by many of its good reviews. However, we felt let down when we saw it. Much of the filming was done in very poor light (presumably deliberately), and even when the sun shone outside, it seemed that the camera preferrred to stay in the shadows. Despiute the fact that some reviewers loved this film, we found its pace achingly slow, focussing upon a lead character with whom we had no empathy. After half an hour or so we were so bored we abandoned watching this film.
