1.Hobson's Choice starring: Charles Laughton, John Mills, Brenda De Banzie, Daphne Anderson, Prunella Scales directed by: David Lean June 06, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.99
For those who didn't know, and I was one of them, a Hobson's choice is a free choice, but where only one option is really available. At the end of Hobson's Choice, a fine, vulgar, poignant and very funny film directed by David Lean, this is what Henry Horatio Hobson faces. Elements of the plot are discussed. Hobson (Charles Laughton) is a prosperous shoe and boot merchant in the small town of Salford, England. The time is the 1880s. Hobson is a widower, a blusterer, a man accustomed to his comforts, his drink and his ease. He is, thanks to Laughton, larger than life, a man we can laugh at but not a man we'd probably want as a neighbor. He has three daughters. Maggie (Brenda De Banzie) is 30. She is, says her father, "a bit ripe" for marriage at her age, and he plans to keep it ... Read More

2.The Man Who Knew Too Much starring: Yves Brainville, Hillary Brooke, Naida Buckingham, Doris Day, Brenda De Banzie March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.25
In my humble opinion, some of the best movies I've ever seen were good old classics like this one. Although I am only 22 years of age, Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors, and this is my favorite of Hitchcock's works. Doris Day outdid herself as the mourning mother, and the two of them did a very good job playing a married couple. I think this movie, as far as the acting is concerned, was way ahead of its time. Method acting was still in its infancy (if that) but the two of them did such an outstanding job, especially in the scene when Jimmy Stewart's character first tells Doris Day's character that their son has been kidnapped. The boy was my only complaint about the whole movie. Kids really didn't know how to act back then. So if you're looking for a good mystery/suspense as only Hitchcock ... Read More

3.The Devil's Widow (Tam Lin) starring: Ava Gardner, Ian McShane, Richard Wattis, Cyril Cusack, Stephanie Beacham directed by: Roddy McDowall January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.93
I really wish a DVD existed of this movie! In 1972, I was channel-surfing in the middle of the night and came upon an airing of Tam Lin, halfway through the movie. I was 19 then, and the movie seemed mystical and surreal to me; for quite a while I could not figure out what was going on except it involved Janet and Ian and Ava and ominous overtones, and I was blown away. As the movie neared the end I recognized the Tam Lin theme, but the movie was shown under the Devil's Widow title and "modernized", although the music seemed to have appropriate medieval overtones...but I never made a firm link to Tam Lin until years later ...and I never saw the movie again. But I'd like to, because it seemed to me that it suceeded in conveying the atmosphere of Faerie and the glamor (in its old sense) that confuses and ... Read More

4.the Inn of the Sixth Happiness starring: Ingrid Bergman, Robert Donat, Curd Jürgens, Michael David, Athene Seyler directed by: Mark Robson April 06, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.95
This was a very good movie, although, as usually found-- it doesn't quite go along with the "original" version-- or what actually happened. Even so, it's a good movie and inspiring for people of all ages.

5.The Alphabet Murders starring: Tony Randall, Robert Morley, Anita Ekberg, Maurice Denham, Guy Rolfe directed by: Frank Tashlin September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.49
I like the reel Poirot stories better but this one is great & funny i just wish they release it on DVD! i mean the 60's Miss Marple's & Ten Little Indians that came out on dvd why can't this movie i know this Poirot is different other books but this one is funny!

6.The Importance of Being Earnest starring: Michael Redgrave, Richard Wattis, Michael Denison, Walter Hudd, Edith Evans directed by: Anthony Asquith April 04, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.79
This is without doubt THE classic film version of the classic Oscar Wilde social comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest. Featuring the best British stage and screen actors of the time beautifully realised by the famous Anthony Asquith it is one of those few films that can be enjoyed over and over both as a supreme example of the Wilde wit and for the gusto with which the actors revel in their performance of this satire on the British upper class. Cannot be bettered.

7.Diamonds on Wheels starring: Patrick Allen, George Sewell, Derek Newark, Dudley Sutton, Barry Jackson directed by: Jerome Courtland July 07, 1987

8.Abominable Snowman starring: Forrest Tucker, Peter Cushing, Maureen Connell, Richard Wattis, Robert Brown directed by: Val Guest March 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.22
An expedition searches for the Yeti of Tibet. These creatures, they learn, are far more superior to men. Using their powers of telepathy, the Yeti begin killing the members of the expedition in order to keep their existence a secret. "The Abominable Snowman" is a perfect blend of science fiction and horror and was created by those who brought us the highly successful Quatermass films. It stars Hammer horror icon Peter Cushing as a botanist and Forrest Tucker (Sergeant O'Rourke from the TV series "F Troop") as a trapper. Released in 1957, "The Abominable Snowman" was filmed in black and white. Pity it couldn't have been shot in color as were the Hammer horror classics, "Horror of Dracula, "The Mummy," and "The Curse of Frankenstein." However, since the beautiful, snow covered Himalayans ... Read More

9.Clouded Yellow starring: Jean Simmons, Trevor Howard, Sonia Dresdel, Barry Jones, Kenneth More directed by: Ralph Thomas June 20, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $23.51
This was the first "grown-up" film I saw, when it was first released, back in 1951. It was on TV the other night and I found it as exciting as ever, full of psychological mystery and exhilarating chases against some beautiful scenery. Trevor Howard would be a match for Daniel Craig anytime and Jean Simmons is lovely as the vulnerable trapped "butterfly" of the title. I highly recommend it to anyone who liked "The 39 Steps" or "North by Northwest"
