1.The Jewel in the Crown - Complete Set starring: Tim Pigott-Smith, Geraldine James, Wendy Morgan, Judy Parfitt, Rosemary Leach directed by: Christopher Morahan, Jim O'Brien April 24, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.99
DO NOT BUY this series! After hearing for years about the vaunted "Jewel in the Crown" series, my wife and I checked out the tapes from the library and watched the whole thing. It was awful. The best DVD reproduction in the world couldn't save this film. We thought maybe we'd learn a little history while getting caught up in the stories of the characters, but we were wrong on both counts. Maybe if you knew some of the history of India's emerging independence, the story would make sense to you, but to us, it was all muddled and obscure. And the characters and their stories were equally disappointing. About the only person you get to know is Merrick, and he's so reprehensible that you wish he would just go away. We kept watching episode after episode, hoping that the ... Read More

3.Bloody Sunday (2002) starring: James Nesbitt, Allan Gildea, Gerard Crossan, Mary Moulds, Carmel McCallion directed by: Paul Greengrass April 22, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.88
This is a gripping piece of cinema that it is very involving and very sad. It's hard to watch some scenes and it really is an extremely emotional film, and one that presents a side of the event that is sometimes overlooked - namely the lives of the people involved.

4.Johnny English starring: Rowan Atkinson, Simon Bernstein, Tim Berrington, Rowland Davies, Oliver Ford Davies January 13, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
It's a great story, great acting, excellent comedy... and all round great film. I honestly couldn't say much more without giving away the story... needless to say, there's a laugh or three in every scene.

5.Hunchback (1982) starring: Anthony Hopkins, Derek Jacobi, David Suchet, Gerry Sundquist, Tim Pigott-Smith directed by: Michael Tuchner June 20, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.98
I have to say ever since I read Victor Hugo's masterpiece, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, I've been waiting for a great adaptation. Although this film doesn't follow the original path of the book, it's still very entertaining. You'd think that with all the adaptations they've had they could have at least gotten one right. Maybe someday it will happen. Ever since I was a kid I enjoyed watching this movie. It's strange but I always thought of it as a sad and wonderful movie. Probably the best thing about this film is the protrayal of Quasimodo. Anthony Hopkins has an amazing performance that, in my opinion, will never be toped. Besides Hopkins though, the acting is very sub-par in the film. The film all in all is well made and very enjoyable. The BIG question your probably asking ... Read More

7.Clash of the Titans starring: Laurence Olivier, Claire Bloom, Maggie Smith, Ursula Andress, Jack Gwillim directed by: Desmond Davis
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.25
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
