1.White Mischief starring: Sarah Miles, Joss Ackland, Greta Scacchi, Charles Dance, Geraldine Chaplin directed by: Michael Radford August 30, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.95
Interesting and easy read - Fox has done his research well. My late husband's parents were Kenya settlers and his father had NO respect for the Happy Valley crowd AT ALL. Fox has certainly filled in many of the gaps left in the story my husband, Len Gill told me and has introduced me to a new side of some of the characters Len knew. I only wish I had read this book before my husband died of cancer. So many questions - so little time for answers.

2.Love Actually starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Colin Firth, Gregor Fisher, Martin Freeman (II), Jill Freud April 27, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.18
It's nice to know that there is more to movies than blowing up buildings and trashy humor for humor sake. This movie is brilliant!

3.Sense and Sensibility starring: Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet directed by: Ang Lee November 12, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I must start this review stating my biased approach. I love this time era and this story so of course I would like it. Here is what I will add that some people might find useful in deciding whether or not to purchase this. The story is believable and the characters are honest. You see the imperfections of the system as well as the optimism that kept them going. The sisters loose their father and are left with an emotional mother who is beside herself for the outcome of their situation and all that threatens her daughters - no dowry, no status, no husband to look after them, no future or hope. One sister goes the rational way and the other gets lost in romantic ideals. Both have faults and it is through those wounds that they are bound together and become a family.

4.About a Boy starring: Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult, Sharon Small, Madison Cook, Jordan Cook directed by: Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz June 03, 2003

One of my all time favorite movies. I purchased this copy for my boss. Sweet, funny and smart. Highly recommend it

5.Bitter Moon starring: Hugh Grant, Kristin Scott Thomas, Emmanuelle Seigner, Peter Coyote, Victor Banerjee directed by: Roman Polanski April 15, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.65
The story line is twisted to put it mildly but never boring for a second and interestingly making for great conversation after viewing... I will not divulge any of the plot (too much has already been spilled in other reviews) and while the plot is amazingly thought out and delivered by Scorsese, the plot really does not matter as much as the characters and their stories. What matters more in my mind is the characters (all brilliantly acted) who show sides that are deeply engraved in all of us (thankfully in less extreme denominations in most cases). The movie take the obsession, anger, feeling of guilt, revenge, pity, dependence, lust to the extreme but with a bit of soul searching we can relate to the underlying urges and feelings and if we allow it, the movie leaves one thinking ...

6.Bridget Jones's Diary starring: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Gemma Jones, Celia Imrie, James Faulkner directed by: Sharon Maguire February 05, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This movie was a bit comical, but also very touching and tear jerking too, since Bridget(Renee Zellwegger) and Daniel(Hugh Grant) started out seeming like the perfect couple who was hot and heavy and then all of the sudden POOF! Daniel decides to dump Bridget and discovers that Daniel was being unfaithful to her when she walks into their bathroom and finds Daniel's mistress hiding in there naked, just before Daniel drops the bomb on Bridget and tells her that he and his mistress were even engaged to be married on top of that. So then Bridget moves on by eventually dating Mark Darcy(Colin Firth) after getting over a tragic break-up with Daniel, but then one night Daniel decides to drop by Bridget's apartment one night while Mark and Bridgets friends are having dinner to try to get Bridget back, since ...

7.The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill starring: Hugh Grant, Tara Fitzgerald, Colm Meaney, Ian McNeice, Ian Hart directed by: Christopher Monger November 12, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.90
This film is too often dismissed as a light-hearted Hugh Grant comedy. But it is so much more: inspirational, emotional, and uplifting. Every scene of this film is a painting, with incredible direction, set design, costume design, cinematography, editing, writing, musical soundtrack, and acting. While Grant is superb, the performances of Kenneth Griffith as Reverend Jones, Ian McNiece as George Garrad, and Ian Hart as Johnny Shellshocked are superb. In an age of slick film making with gratuitous meaningless violence and sexual innuendo, shallow scripts and meaningless stories, this movie stands for what is best for this medium, and how a character film can stand head and shoulder above the vast majority of cinemagraphic efforts attempted. If you like character studies and great writing, watch this film!

8.Gold Diggers (1935) starring: Dick Powell, Adolphe Menjou, Gloria Stuart, Alice Brady, Hugh Herbert directed by: Busby Berkeley September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.98
Everything about this movie is 18 carat plus; and the Lullaby number is stupendous, stellar, astounding, astonishing, awesome, supersonic, ballistic, dazzling, stratospheric, surreal, stomping, incredible, dark, hypercaliginous, threatening, frightening, ominous. Beggars imagination. The rich are very rich, no-one else has anything much. A bed-sitter perhaps. World War Two was on its way, when everyone went crazy. You can still feel the buzz.

9.Monkey Business starring: Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe, Charles Coburn, Hugh Marlowe directed by: Howard Hawks January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
I just watched this on Netflix and I have to complain (sowwy). I really wanted to like this more. I love the classic screwball comedies with a ferver that boreders on the obscene. Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Rosalind Russel, Marx Brothers; hit me again--you can't hurt me. I just keep coming back for more. but this was perhaps the end of the run (for the genre), and a sign of how and why the screwball formula fell out of favor. It's not a bad movie at all, and it would make a great re-make if the casting were perfect, the director someone with the talent of Spielberg and the humor of Mel Brooks. The problem with this version was... Well, it was a solid premise, and the acting was fine. In fact, Ginger Rogers stole the movie, even though her character was a bit unbelievable (a doting, caring wife who is ... Read More

10.Night Train to Venice starring: Hugh Grant, Tahnee Welch, Malcolm McDowell, Kristina Söderbaum, Rachel Rice directed by: Carlo U. Quinterio January 21, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.98
The whole movie makes no sense at all. Talk about violence for violence sake. There is not one single solitary frame of this mess that would be worth paying a penny to see unless you just want to torture yourself. This movie is nothing personified and taken to heights few other directors will ever reach or want to. Poor Hugh Grant what kind of day must he been having when he said ok to staring in this dreck! Night Train to Venice avoid this ride at all costs. Take the Last Train to Clarksville Instead!
