1.Romance on the Orient Express starring: Cheryl Ladd, Stuart Wilson, Renée Asherson, Ralph Michael, Ruby Wax directed by: Lawrence Gordon Clark January 15, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.90
This movie took me 10 years to find. I sawit as a teenager and loved it. This story makes you feel happy, sad and full of hope that if you haven't found love you will. No matter what and how much time, love see's through it all. The actors in this movie make you feel what they feel. You understand what both are going through and how much love they have for one another. It's a tear-jerker for sure!

2.Rasputin: Mad Monk (Ws) starring: Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley, Richard Pasco, Francis Matthews, Suzan Farmer directed by: Don Sharp September 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.77
Whilst this isn't a classic a Hammer film by any means, it does make for strangely compelling viewing. The film was obviously made on a very small budget, and I suspect it was filmed soon after Dracula: Prince of Darkness as the cast is very similiar and some of the same sets look the same. Rasputin is a drinker and womaniser who has healing powers. Using these he becomes the trusted Doctor to the Zsars wife. However his motives are suspect.. Christopher Lee plays the title role (based on a real historical person and in part true) and is the best and worst thing about the film. Without Lee's screen presence this simply wouldn't have worked. However in places I found his performance a little over the top (dare I say even a little hammy). In the UK on region 2 this is available ... Read More

3.Malta Story starring: Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, Anthony Steel, Muriel Pavlow, Renée Asherson directed by: Brian Desmond Hurst February 27, 1996

Malta is known as "the George Cross island ",the George Cross being the highest award for bravery by civilians within the British Commonwealth .The island was rewarded for its collective heroism in World War Two when it staunchly resisted the efforts of the Germans to bomb it into submission and occupy the island .This movie recreates the assault and siege in a quiet, restrained and dignified manner.It is a clear eyed unsentimental movie that ,being shot on Malta itself,brings fully to life the hot,rocky and beautuful island that has so often been the crossroads of conflict . The main character is "Ross"(Alec Guinness) an air reconnaisance officer/photographer forced to land on Malta and bearing witness to and becoming involved in the attempts of the islanders and the British forces to repel a German invasion ...

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.95
Really enjoyed this show. Ian McShane does a great impression of both an early and then more experienced Disraeli. Period dress was very impressive.

5.Bright Smiler starring: Janet Suzman, Jane Asher, Jeremy Nicholas, Renée Asherson, Alison Skilbeck directed by: David Carson May 26, 1987

6.Day the Earth Caught Fire starring: Edward Judd, Janet Munro, Leo McKern, Michael Goodliffe, Bernard Braden directed by: Val Guest January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.70
Excellent movie about an end of the world scenario. Multiple nuclear tests make the earth change its orbit and it is inevitably heading towards the sun. The movie concerns people's reaction to the situation. It's a tense, gripping movie that also features a very sexual performance by Janet Munro. Seeing her at her most beautiful and giving such a strong performance makes one sad that she died so young and led such a tragic life.

7.Miss Marple: Murder Is Announced starring: Joan Hickson, Ursula Howells, Renée Asherson, Samantha Bond, Simon Shepherd directed by: David Giles July 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.74
I've seen most of the Joan Hickson Marple movies and this is definitely one of, if not THE, best. All the elements of a good murder mystery. You will suspect nearly everyone of being the murderer at some point. Highly intriguing and entertaining!

8.The Others starring: Nicole Kidman, Christopher Eccleston, Fionnula Flanagan, Alakina Mann, James Bentley directed by: Alejandro Amenábar August 13, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
"The Others" takes place on Jersey, one of the British islands in the English Channel which was occupied by the Germans in World War II. It's a scary movie with devastating secrets and a story reminiscent of Henry James's "Turn of the Screw", but this plot has more chills. Nicole Kidman, playing a widow, does a superb job of acting in this movie, and everyone involved is excellent. A creepy old mansion is constantly dark within; the drapes are always drawn because Kidman's young son and daughter are severely sensitive to sunlight. The photography and atmospherics are wonderfully done. The three servants who just show up at the door and whom Kidman hires foreshadow bad stuff to follow. Kidman is constantly locking and unlocking inside doors in the big house which lacks electricity and phones. The suspenseful isolation becomes a part of the ... Read More
