1.Enchanted April (1991) starring: Alfred Molina, Joan Plowright, Miranda Richardson, Polly Walker, Josie Lawrence directed by: Mike Newell April 13, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.68
A beautiful film about the power of love to transform people. This is one of the best movies ever made and I cannot for the life of me understand why it is not available on DVD in the U.S.

2.Moll Flanders (2pc) (Mobile Masterpiece Theatre) starring: James Bowers, Alex Kingston, Nicola Kingston, Geoffrey Beevers, Lucy Evans directed by: David Attwood October 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.96
I will admit, I saw this movie before I read the book. But what a good movie it was! It's not so much a movie as it is a miniseries as it took a while to watch, but it is worth it, since miniseries are often able to put in more of the book than a movie whose time must be restricted. The acting, props, costumes, and background were all solid, and I have no complaint. It was especially fun to see Moll stare right into the camera. For me, that added some spice and fun to watch, especially when she looked at you while she was doing something naughty. Overall, I feel that this movie was a rather decent retelling of the book.

3.Secret Agent starring: Bob Hoskins, Patricia Arquette, Gérard Depardieu, Jim Broadbent, Robin Williams directed by: Christopher Hampton March 31, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
A nostalgic sleepy and literate period piece spy drama that periodically captures your attention when least expected. Not as stimulating as one could imagine but nevertheless credible.

4.Ideal Husband (1999) starring: Cate Blanchett, Nancy Carroll (II), Minnie Driver, Lindsay Duncan, Charles Edwards (VI) September 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Everybody likes Oscar Wilde. Some even feel sorry for him. But he doesn't need our pity: we need his wise and witty insight. Oliver Parker really likes Oscar Wilde. He's done An Ideal Husband in 1999 (director, screenplay, and plays a character called Bunbury); The Importance of Being Ernest in 2002, (director and screenplay); and is working on his version of Dorian Gray which will be released in 2009. This is a look at the 1999 film. It's probable that the big screen treatment and some well known actors will bring an audience to Wilde's plays that would never attend a theatre performance of them, let alone read them (the texts are available as a free download at www.manybooks.com). But a cinematic treatment must in some sense be an adaptation, not merely a performance, so something ... Read More

5.Fish Called Wanda starring: Maria Aitken, Al Ashton, Roger Brierley, Ken Campbell, Cynthia Cleese directed by: John Cleese February 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I've loved this movie for years. It always cheers me up. Kevin Kline won a best supporting oscar for this movie. He is a psuedo intellectual who is jealous of Jamie Lee Curtis's characters crush on John Cleese. Between Kline driving on the wrong side of the road and being a complete idiot. You will soon discover why this movie is a gem. Kim Rivest

7.Johnny English starring: Rowan Atkinson, Simon Bernstein, Tim Berrington, Rowland Davies, Oliver Ford Davies January 13, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
It's a great story, great acting, excellent comedy... and all round great film. I honestly couldn't say much more without giving away the story... needless to say, there's a laugh or three in every scene.

8.Absolon starring: Christopher Lambert, Kelly Brook, Lou Diamond Phillips, Ron Perlman, Roberta Angelica directed by: David Barto December 16, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
Absolon is a science fiction movie set in the future: A mysterious AIDS-like virus has decimated the world population. A cure was found such that a remnant was saved. The cure is a drug called Absolon, and it must be taken on a regular basis, or you die. Some scientists discover a vaccine so that Absolon, in theory, is no longer necessary. A detective investigating the murder of one of these scientists discovers that he has been chosen to carry the antitode until mass production of the vaccine is made possible. A chase begins to stop Detective Norman Scott from revealing the antitode to others. The new drug, Absolon, is treated like money, and the company which manufactures it has become the new world Read More

9.Harvard Man starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Adrian Grenier, Joey Lauren Adams, Eric Stoltz, Rebecca Gayheart directed by: James Toback October 29, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This movie is okay, alittle werid exspecially once a certain someone takes some pills and the rest of the movie is alittle werid from then on out. Good plot, and it was a surprise to see Ray Allen in a movie.

10.Miss Marple: At Bertram's Hotel starring: Joan Hickson, Caroline Blakiston, Helena Michell, James Cossins, Joan Greenwood directed by: Mary McMurray September 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.28
+++++ I watched this movie without reading the 1965 Dame Agatha Christie novel that it was based on. (Christie wrote twelve Miss Marple murder mysteries altogether.) I'm glad I did this! Why? Because it forced me to really watch the movie in order to try and deduce who the murderer was. A murder occurs at London's Bertram's Hotel where Miss Marple (the late Joan Hickson) is staying. An official police investigation ensues with Chief Inspector Fred Davy (George Baker) as one of the investigators. Unofficially, Miss Marple puts all the clues together. Who are the people staying at or associated with this hotel? They are as follows: (1) Bess Segwick who has been married several times (Caroline Blakiston) (2) Elvina Blake, a person who is soon to be wealthy (Helena Mitchell) ... Read More
