1.I, Claudius starring: Derek Jacobi, John Hurt, Siân Phillips, Brian Blessed, George Baker October 09, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
I belong to the generation that saw high-budget Roman period productions such as Ridley Scott's Gladiator, HBO's Rome, and even the Polish adaptation of Quo Vadis (highly recommended). Having also been brought up in the States and becoming something of a classicist during my later education, I had read Robert Graves' books I, Claudius and Claudius the God, and heard of the BBC miniseries and always meant to see it, though not expecting much due to the age of the series and low budget it required to be realized. When the chance came I snagged up the DVD series, and was so taken by the marvelous acting, intricate yet engaging storyline, and historical accuracy (it is not 100% accurate, but it is more accurate than the likes of Gladiator or HBO's ROME), that I watched the entire ...

2.Ewoks - The Battle for Endor starring: Wilford Brimley, Warwick Davis, Aubree Miller, Siân Phillips, Carel Struycken directed by: Jim Wheat, Ken Wheat December 31, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.00
I watched this movie because my cousin was hooked on it when I was 6 years old, and now that I'm 28 it still has the same charm and cuteness that it always has. The characters are very cute in the movie and I think it is a great movie for kids maybe 5 or 6 and above to watch, it does have some rather creepy looking characters in it that may freak smaller kids out. But even as an adult I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

3.Heidi (1993) (Clam) starring: Jason Robards, Jane Seymour, Patricia Neal, Siân Phillips, Lexi Randall directed by: Michael Ray Rhodes March 04, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is an all time classic. I cry every time when I watch this movie. I bought the VHS back then. Now that the DVD is available, I must own it. When it is available on Blue-Ray, I will buy it too....

4.Goodbye Mr. Chips (1969) starring: Peter O'Toole, Petula Clark, Michael Redgrave, Alison Leggatt, Siân Phillips directed by: Herbert Ross February 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.27
I just could not believe after all these years, a DVD of Goodbye Mr. Chips is going to be released. Ever since i watched the movie back in 1969 in Hong Kong, the movie and the songs were in my minds always. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend a boarding school two years later and experienced the life of boarding school. The two songs of "You and I" and "Walk through the world with me" are just pure magic and i wish the music producers could give much more credits to these two songs. I certainly would recommend to old and new lovers to have these two songs downloaded in their MP3 and listen to these two songs while walking down the river Thames in the evening with your beloved one! I am sure you will never forget this experience. Remember to choose the bridge with the blue neon lights too! Beautiful ... Read More

5.Dune starring: Francesca Annis, Leonardo Cimino, Brad Dourif, José Ferrer, Linda Hunt March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I've previously owned the Lynch version on DVD and the epic, three hour TV version that was shown on the Sci-Fi channel on a worn-out VHS tape. When this new extended edition dvd was released I jumped at the chance to get it. The extended version gives you much more detail and insight into the characters than the Lynch cut. While I find that the Lynch cut is enjoyable in it's own right I prefer the completeness of the extended edition. The shorter version just seems too rushed with too many gaps.

6.Clash of the Titans starring: Laurence Olivier, Harry Hamlin, Claire Bloom, Maggie Smith, Ursula Andress directed by: Desmond Davis August 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.55
Wow!! To tell you the truth, this is one of my all time favorites! I am a cult movie fanatic. I was elated to find Clash of The Titans available for sale, I bought it instaneously! I counted the days until it arrived and I immediately popped it into my sponge bob DVD player to give it a whirl, I was taken back thirty years ago to the days when creating special effects was something people actually had to think hard about to create. I love this flick, especially when they release the Cracken!!! Timeless

7.Age of Innocence (1993) starring: Domenica Cameron-Scorsese, Geraldine Chaplin, Daniel Day-Lewis, Tracey Ellis, Carolyn Farina January 17, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.08
Tried to care about this elegant, opulent saga, but this movie just comes off as rather pointless. Michelle Pfeiffer turns in a radiant performance trying to get out from under these overstuffed rooms and overwrought sensibilities, but can't quite manage it. Her main problem, in my opinion, Daniel Day-Lewis here plainly just doesn't cut it as a leading man. His emasculated, simpering deadpan, dispensing dialogue medicinally as so much cough syrup, completely fails to engage as a romantic figure. Trying to imagine Michelle's ravishing, vivacious character head over heels for him is more than a stretch. I've seen gunfighters with more chemistry than these two. Their first intimate scene, eek! Comes off like an accident on a crowded bus. This mis-casting is quite annoying, as this movie appears in many ways to have ... Read More

8.Valmont starring: Colin Firth, Annette Bening, Meg Tilly, Fairuza Balk, Siân Phillips directed by: Milos Forman
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.90
This lavish retelling of Les Liaisons Dangereuses stars Annette Benning as the Marquise de Merteuil, a nasty aristocrat who delights in manipulating those around her. She is outraged when her lover makes plans to marry the young and virtuous Cecile,(who is in love with her music teacher), so she engages the services of the notorious playboy the Vicomte de Valmont to cuckold him. Before he can do it, however, Valmont falls in love with a proper, married woman, Madame de Tourvel. Learning of this, Merteuil bets Valmont that he can't bed Tourvel, and he happily takes up the challenge. The plot was so complex that I needed a scorecard to keep straight who was doing what to whom and why. All the action swirls around Benning's Merteuil and she's malicious and flirty enough, but her American accent detracts from her character. ... Read More

9.Becket (Letterboxed Edition) starring: Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, Gino Cervi, Paolo Stoppa directed by: Peter Glenville October 17, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.99
Another "Burton" at his best, "Becket" gives us a superb Peter O'toole as Henry II. No better acting than these two give us has Hollywood ever produced and it's all there in this increibly important film. Thought provoking and ethiically important. The comlexity of being human faces us throughout the two and a half hours. Would that Hollywood were still producing motion pictures of this quality!

10.The Borrowers starring: Ian Holm, Penelope Wilton, Rebecca Callard, Paul Cross, Daniel Newman directed by: John Henderson March 02, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.49
The British version of this delightful series is far better than the American re-make (even though I like John Goodman).As previously noted , we could do with out the narratives by boring Mr. Lewis ( Gerard Butler would make a much better narrator), I would love to have this for my twin grandchildren to enjoy when they get a bit older (they just turned 3).
