1.The Detective (aka "Father Brown") starring: Alec Guinness, Joan Greenwood, Peter Finch, Cecil Parker, Bernard Lee directed by: Robert Hamer June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.25
"What are you really after, your cross or my soul?" asks the international art thief, Flambeau, of Father Brown. "Both, of course," Father Brown replies. "Well, come and find us," Flambeau says. "I'll make you a bargain. Whatever you can find you shall have." "I accept your bargain," Father Brown says, and we're off into a gentle, amusing and thoughtful movie which stars Alec Guinness as Father Brown and Peter Finch as Flambeau. Father Brown is a parish priest in an English village. He takes care of his flock, saves the souls he can, and tries to put the erring members on more wholesome paths. He also is eccentric -- or at least very honest. He practices karate, loves mysteries, is very near-sighted, is no one's fool and has great but realistic empathy. "I'm ... Read More

2.Miniver Story starring: Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, John Hodiak, Leo Genn, Cathy O'Donnell directed by: H.C. Potter September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.04
I watched this movie directly after seeing "Mrs. Miniver" on Turner Classics, and expected something along the same lines, however I was a bit disappointed in the defeatest tone of the movie, and the fact that there was no accounting (unless I missed it somehow) of the absence of the oldest son Vin...also, Judy aged quite fast in this sequel! I was unhappy about the ending, and couldn't understand why we couldn't just have Greer and Walter dance off into the sunset...still, if/when it is available on DVD I will buy it.

3.Flight of the Phoenix (1965) starring: James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Peter Finch, Hardy Krüger, Ernest Borgnine directed by: Robert Aldrich September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
This may not have won any awards, but it is a great story superbly acted by a stellar cast. Infinitely better than the recent trashy remake. The interplay between the characters is finely done and keeps you hooked from start to finish. Best film of 1965 without a doubt and definitely an important addition to anyone's history of cinema collection.

4.Kidnapped starring: Peter Finch, James MacArthur, Bernard Lee, John Laurie, Niall MacGinnis directed by: Robert Stevenson March 04, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
Great version of a classic story. Suitable to show children at school. It brings back many fond memories of childhood

5.Peter and Paul starring: Eddie Albert, Clive Arrindell, Raymond Burr, Kenneth Colley, Vernon Dobtcheff October 01, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.05
This is a wonderful film, superbly written and very well acted. It gives an idea of what it may have been like for the leaders of the early church, including the politics involved. I highly recommend it.

6.Raid on Entebbe starring: Peter Finch, Charles Bronson, Martin Balsam, Horst Buchholz, John Saxon directed by: Irvin Kershner September 26, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.55
It's a good movie and definitely a great story. Anytime folks stand up to evil and prevail, it deserves an applaud. This is a true story of terrorist kidnapping of a passenger airliner and holding them hostage trying to get them exchanged for release of imprisoned terrorists. The Israeli special forces go to work and pull off a stunning rescue with minimal casualties on their side. It only briefly mentions the aftermath in closing credits, but I think it deserves greater attention. Specifically the killing of the innocent hostage who was transported into a Ugandan hospital prior to the rescue as well as firing of the Air France pilot/captain who stayed behind with his passengers. In today's world, these are issue that need more attention. There are some great actors in this movie. I was already quite familiar ... Read More

7.Nun's Story (1959) starring: Audrey Hepburn, Peter Finch, Edith Evans, Peggy Ashcroft, Dean Jagger directed by: Fred Zinnemann September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.87
This was one of Audrey's finest performance. She was moving, believable and heart touching. She is the finest actress to ever hit the big screen.

8.The Story of Robin Hood starring: Richard Todd, Joan Rice, Peter Finch, James Hayter, James Robertson Justice directed by: Ken Annakin April 11, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.14
Honestly, I can never have too much Robin Hood. I love each and every take out there, and that includes "The Story of Robin Hood", a little-known live action Disney version from the 1950's. I love the gorgeous Technicolor, the delicate matte painting backgrounds, the folk ballads, the archery, the Richard Todd. More on him in a minute. It's hard to imagine a more sedate version of the rollicking legend. Not that the film is boring; it isn't. It's just oddly calm. There's action, but no peril, plot, but no ideas. The film is a straightforward telling of the facts, so to speak, but we are never allowed any thrills or chills and there is never any doubt that it'll all turn out right in the end. The cast is decent, minus any real standouts. Joan Rice is a pretty, tom-boyish Maid Marion, and Patrick Barr a suitably ... Read More

9.Far from the Madding Crowd starring: Julie Christie, Peter Finch, Alan Bates, Terence Stamp, Fiona Walker directed by: John Schlesinger 1990-02
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
The new DVD is a disaster--still cropped rather than 2.35x1 and lacking the original stereo soundtrack. Warner Bros. has botched a great opportunity to present this beautiful film in the manner it deserves.

10.Network starring: Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, Wesley Addy directed by: Sidney Lumet May 07, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.40
For any of you who have never seen this movie, and you want to see a movie with an unusual story, this is a good one. It is timeless in expressing how fed up people can get with things around them, and whether they can make a splash in this world as they travel through... I saw this movie 30 years ago but never forgot it. It was definitely worth rewatching. It amazes me how movies like this get overlooked in the television channel reruns....
