1.A Little Princess - Wonderworks Family Movie starring: Amelia Shankley, Nigel Havers, Maureen Lipman directed by: Carol Wiseman 2003-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.47
This is definately the best movie adaption of "A Little Princess." I love this version so much because it is so true to the book, and I still have my VHS tape even though I don't own a VHS player anymore. It is such a shame that this adaption has not yet been put to DVD...and the big question is why??? Can't Wonderworks get on that ASAP!? Hello! A lot of people would love it and would buy it, what's the problem?!

2.Chariots of Fire starring: Ben Cross, Ian Charleson, Nicholas Farrell, Nigel Havers, Daniel Gerroll directed by: Hugh Hudson April 01, 1992

This DVD came in great shape. I enjoyed it very much. Great price too!

3.The Burning Season - The Chico Mendes Story starring: Raul Julia, Carmen Argenziano, Sonia Braga, Kamala Lopez, Luis Guzmán directed by: John Frankenheimer September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.96
My only reason for seeing this film is because Luis Guzman is in it. Raul Julia plays "Chico Mendes" who tried to save his people in the Amazon Rainforest. A story that needed to be told, but this film is overlong and slow-moving. I do believe the rainforests should be saved and destroying them should be stopped. Instead of decreasing them the forests should be expanded. The rainforests are beneficial to our weather. Their is wildlife there and flowers used for medical research and medicine that can not be found anywhere else. What would happen if land was just roads, concrete, buildings and dessert. I think if a patch of unhistoric dessert is bare, just plant trees there. It would look nicer than a vacant lot. it is trees that tranform our air ... Read More

4.Empire of the Sun starring: Christian Bale, John Malkovich, Miranda Richardson, Nigel Havers, Joe Pantoliano directed by: Steven Spielberg July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.54
For some reason there is a huge circle of film snobs (cinaphiles, movie buffs) who absolutely hate this film. I can understand to an extent, but not seeing the films central glistening facet is to ignore what is right in front of your eyes. Yes, even the vilest of movie critics; even someone who detests everything that is so Hollywood about Steven Spielberg will tell you that Christian Bale delivers quite possibly the finest child acting performance of all time. That said; I don't hate this movie. The film tells the story of young Jamie Graham, a twelve-year-old British boy living with his family in China. During World War II Jamie is separated from his family and finds himself in an interment camp struggling to survive in a world that was once so familiar but is now ... Read More

5.A Passage To India (original edition) starring: Victor Banerjee Nigel Havers directed by: David Lean 2003-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.40
This is a magnificent and exquisitely wrought film, well nuanced and faithful in its adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel of the same name. Director David Lean, who had previously directed such cinematic triumphs as "Bridge on the River Kwai" and "Lawrence of Arabia", outdid himself with this film, which was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and for which Peggy Ashcroft won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, as did Maurice Jarre for Best Score. Set in 1928 colonial India, it is a story about racism and love. A headstrong and adventurous Englishwoman, Adela Quested (Judy Davis) travels to India to meet her fiance. She is accompanied on her journey by her fiance's elderly mother, Mrs. Moore (Peggy Ashcroft), a lovely and kindly woman who, upon reaching India, is appalled ... Read More

6.Burke and Wills starring: Jack Thompson, Nigel Havers, Greta Scacchi, Matthew Fargher, Chris Haywood directed by: Graeme Clifford October 26, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.00
I thoroughly enjoyed this, very much like Mountains Of The Moon. Jack Thompson & Nigel Havers star as Burke & Wills, and their co-star is some of the more desolate landscapes of Australia.

7.Passage to India starring: Judy Davis, Victor Banerjee, Peggy Ashcroft, James Fox, Alec Guinness directed by: David Lean December 07, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.44
David Lean's first film in 14 years was to be his final - and was nominated for 11 Oscars, winning 2, (Supporting Actress Peggy Ashcroft and Music Score Maurice Jarre. An excellent adaptation of the E.M. Forster novel, purists may quibble with some changes Lean made in his screenplay. However, the recreation of 1920s India under British control is breathtakingly beautiful and it's an intriguing story. Along the way, the appalling British attitude towards the locals underlines the plot. The DVD has been remastered in high definition and seems to look better than its original theatrical release. Excellent bonus features include interviews with some of the first-rate cast and a contemporary interview with Lean. There is also a detailed audio-commentary from producer Richard Goodwin. Lean is the master ... Read More

8.Catherine Cookson's the Glass Virgin (2pc) starring: Nigel Havers, Christine Kavanagh, Brendan Coyle, Sylvia Syms, Emily Mortimer directed by: Sarah Hellings November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.88
--This review contains spoilers--- Glass Virgin is about a young heiress who discovers that she is the daughter of her father's mistress. After this secret is revealed; she runs away with the groom, a man named Mendoza and takes up a life in service. This movie was okay, but I felt it wasn't as good as other films of Cookson's books. The actor who played Mendoza seemed a wee bit too old, and unfit to be the dashing hero he was portrayed as being. I also felt the heroine could've handled her situation a trifle better, as she was too quick to believe what others tell her (such as her mother abandoning her to her fate, etc), and too quick to give up her life, to run away. I prefer heroines who use their brains to help themselves and the heroine of Glass Virgin was often ... Read More

9.Lie Down With Lions Miniseries starring: Timothy Dalton, Marg Helgenberger, Nigel Havers, Omar Sharif, Maceddet Albayrak directed by: Jim Goddard December 03, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.98
A Ken Follet book brought to life by Timothy Dalton & Omar Sharif! It even features location filming! Not bad for a budget film, and lots of fun too! If you can overlook some of these bad reviews here, and make up your own mind you should like this. Especially if you area James Bond fan, and would like to see a good modern spy action movie.
