1.Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat starring: Donny Osmond, Maria Friedman, Richard Attenborough, Joan Collins, Christopher Biggins directed by: David Mallet March 28, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.40
I saw the musical on Broadway several years ago, and I have to say that the film does an excellent job of capturing the engery of a live performance. The cast is superb, the music is still fresh, the jokes are still funny, and the layers of reality are done exttremely well. I recently viewed this and Joseph: King of Dreams back-to-back, and there is no doubt that this is the far better retelling of the story. This mucical is appropriate for even small children, but it is not a children's show. I would recommend this to just about everyone.

2.Miracle on 34th Street (1994) starring: Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott, J.T. Walsh, James Remar directed by: Les Mayfield October 05, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
My family enjoys this movie every year. It stands up to the test of being a remake. The directors choice of stars turned out great too. Make popcorn, put your feet up and have fun.

3.Hamlet (1996) starring: Richard Attenborough, David Blair, Brian Blessed, Richard Briers, Michael Bryant directed by: Kenneth Branagh March 03, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.73
I was overwhelmed by this production of Hamlet. Kenneth Branagh is wonderful and plays the part of Hamlet with such sensitivity and vitality - makes the unabridged lines accessible, even to people unused to Shakespeare. Kate Winslet is excellent. The whole cast and the scenes - especially the scenes - are staggeringly good. The only Hamlet on film, worth watching! Kenneth Branagh is a genius.

4.Elizabeth (1998) starring: Fanny Ardant, Richard Attenborough, Cate Blanchett, Kathy Burke, Eric Cantona September 14, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Every aspect of this film is flawless. All period films should use this one as an example of how to bring history to life. I can't speak much about the plot that hasn't already been discussed to death here and Amazon itself has done a decent job recapping the basics of this story. I'll resort to my simple Hits and Misses on this one: The HITS: 1. This film is flawlessly acted by all. While Cate Blanchett dominates the screen and well-earned her Oscar nomination that year, Geoffrey Rush and the suburb, but under appreciated Sir Richard Attenborough (The Great Escape, A Passage To India and Jurassic Park) are outstanding in their supporting roles as is the rest of the terrific cast. 2. Exquisite photography, costume design, and settings bring this ... Read More

5.Magic Christian starring: Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr, Isabel Jeans, Caroline Blakiston, Wilfrid Hyde-White directed by: Joseph McGrath April 15, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.98
The Magic Christian is an inspired, wacky sixties film, based on the brilliant novel by Terry Southern. Appearing with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr in the film are Pythons John Cleese and Graham Chapman, Goon Show alumnus Spike Milligan, Christopher Lee, Racquel Welch, Roman Polanski, and Yul Brenner as a lounge-singing transvestite. Paul McCartney wrote the film's theme song 'Come And Get It' performed by Badfinger. I have to admit, this movie makes me laugh. It's a great vehicle for Peter Sellers as the not-so-business-like Guy Grande, and Ringo as his newly adopted adult son. In the story, multi-millionaire Grande has determined that one can use money to teach lessons about the ugliness of greed, elitism, snobbiness, and authority. It is typical of british comedies of the late sixties inasmuch as it climaxes ... Read More

6.The Sand Pebbles starring: Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, Richard Crenna, Candice Bergen, Emmanuelle Arsan directed by: Robert Wise May 15, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
The Sand Pebbles is a Steve McQueen vehicle, no doubt one of his best movies, but it is also the unacknowledged epic of the sixties, when the genre began to decline as a mere Hollywood spectacle and was becoming a more thoughtful, more complext adventure that took on momentous themes--like the emergence of China as an independent country and world power. Add Candice Bergen, at her freshest, Richard Attenborough emerging as a key figure in movies, and several Hollywood veterans, like Richard Crenna, and you have a mix that offers both entertainment and a thoughtfully staged adventure, replete with exotic locales, suspenseful clashes, and a gripping ending. Longish, but nearly flawlessly directed by Robert Wise. The blu-ray edition restores it to its original glory.

7.League of Gentlemen starring: Jack Hawkins, Nigel Patrick, Roger Livesey, Richard Attenborough, Bryan Forbes directed by: Basil Dearden June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
Basil Dearden's seldom seen 1960 heist film The League of Gentlemen has provided the template for almost every significant heist film which has followed it from Oceans 11 to the Italian Job and others. The film follows the exploits of Hyde (Jack Hawkins) an ex British military officer who has been forced into mandatory retirement as he plans and executes a major British bank robbery. Gathering around him a group of exmilitary experts he puts together a methodical robbery plan that he feels is gauranteed not to fail. The excellent ensemble cast includes Nigel Patrick (Race), Roger Livesey (Mycroft) and Richard Attenborough (Lexy). The film starts rather slowly as the plan is hatched but then moves into overdrive as the actual planning of the robbery is organized. This is droll British comedy and ... Read More

8.Jurassic Park starring: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck directed by: Steven Spielberg October 04, 1994

The movie is in great condition. Iam happy to say glad I bought it from amazon.

9.Great Escape starring: Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence directed by: John Sturges April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.33
I ordered this for my dad's birthday, thinking it would be something he would like and something that I would have no interest in. My brother watched it with him, and then told me that it was really good and that I should watch it. So I did. I was very pleasantly surprised - I am not into war-type, adrenaline-laden, "guy" movies, but, even though this could easily fit into any of those categories, I still found it very enjoyable! Suspense, excitement and drama are balanced with enough character development and ordinary "human moments" to make a very well-made, well-acted movie with memorable characters, touching moments, Steve McQueen's unforgettable motorcycle chase, and, of course, The Great Escape! Highly recommended for anyone who likes good movies, genre notwithstanding.

10.Stairway to Heaven (AKA A Matter of Life and Death) starring: David Niven, Kim Hunter, Robert Coote, Kathleen Byron, Richard Attenborough directed by: Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell October 14, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
Five unequivocal stars, 57 reviews and counting, and the nitwits at Sony Pictures have decided to discontinue the DVD of this seminal film. Consider this and understand why Hollywood now gives us the crap they do.
