161.The Third Man [1949] starring: Carol Reed\|Joseph Cotten\|Alida Valli\|Orson Welles April 28, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.95
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 ... Read More:

Is this dvd edition anamorphic or not? I would like to know that before buying.

163.Fortunes Of War [1987] starring: Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh August 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.80
I was so pleased when "Fortunes of War" was released on DVD! When I first saw this splendid BBC television series, I rushed to the nearest bookstore and bought Olivia Manning's mammoth Balkan and Levant trilogies, which I have since devoured at least three times. Reading, however, in no way lessens, but, instead, enhances one's enjoyment of "Fortunes of War," which preserves the essence of Manning's novels. Visually stunning, the film recreates Bucharest and Athens on the brink of World War II, and then Cairo and Alexandria, as well as Damascus and Jerusalem. One step ahead of the advancing Nazi armies, Guy and Harriet Pringle, the film's central characters, are constantly uprooted and forced to be on the move. Guy, acted with ... Read More:

164.Out Of Africa [1986] starring: Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Michael Kitchen, Malick Bowens directed by: Sydney Pollack January 14, 2002

Having watched The English Patient a few times recently I was looking on Amazon for something along similar lines, and luckily i discovered the Best Picture of 1986--Out of Africa. "A classic along the lines of The English Patient" I mumbled to myself as i placed the dvd into the player and cracked open a bottle of red wine. The slow pace of the movie put me off, and all we learn in the first hour is that Meryrl Streep contracts shyphillis from her cheating husband in Africa, and then Robert Redford enters the scene with a dodgy English accent and saves her from boredom and a sham marriage. John Barry's score is one of the films highlights. The cinematography is excellent but the directing is poor. Pollack, the director, must have wanted ... Read More:

165.Come Back To The Five And Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean [1982] starring: Sandy Dennis, Cher, Karen Black, Sudie Bond, Kathy Bates directed by: Robert Altman February 24, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.40
This is an amazing piece of theatrical perfection. The story is so bittersweet, so true and the actors are so good that you wish you were in NYC in 1982, for the Broadway version of the movie(it was originally performed on stage). The emporio is the women world, it's a universe that encloses past,present and future, the places where six lives meet and share their secrets. This movie creates a sense of intimacy and magic you can hardly find elsewhere. Cher and the other actress are simply extraordinary.

166.Medea [1975] starring: Maria Callas, Massimo Girotti, Laurent Terzieff, Giuseppe Gentile, Margareth Clémenti directed by: Pier Paolo Pasolini January 24, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
If you have to see one film in your lifetime, make it Pasolini's Medea. It has everything - superb plot, location, acting, direction - and more. Maria Callas, magnificent on the screen as the abandoned wife Medea, steals your breath away as she first betrayes her people to help Jason steal the Golden Fleece, and then wreaks a terrible revenge when she is in turn betrayed by him for another woman. Pasolini's direction is gentle yet precise, allowing Callas to unfold in all the vehemence of her passion, elciting from her a great performance. A must for all lovers of great films!

168.Jane Eyre [1943] starring: Orson Welles, Joan Fontaine, Margaret O'Brien, Peggy Ann Garner, John Sutton directed by: Robert Stevenson August 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £8.99
I was induced to read Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," a beloved literary classic, at the relatively early age of eleven - all because I saw this movie. I had stayed-up late on a Saturday night, with my favorite aunt as company, and we watched the 1944 version of Jane Eyre, with Jane Fontaine and Orson Welles, on TV. At the conclusion, I noticed I had cried my way through a box of tissues and had become a fan forever. The next day I visited the library. Although I have seen three or four cinematic interpretations of "Jane Eyre" since that time, Director Robert Stevenson's production, co-written for the screen by Aldous Huxley, John Houseman, and Mr. Stevenson is by far my favorite. The writers and director remained faithful to Miss Bronte's magnificent work and brought this darkly ... Read More:

I thought it's potrayal of the slums in Rio was excellent. You could really feel the pain and suffering through each character, from the begining to the end, false dawns and the main character somehow coming through it all to realise his dream. Some good perfomances in there. A really good watch.
