1.Sherlock Holmes: Cardboard Box starring: Jeremy Brett, Edward Hardwicke, Rosalie Williams, Charles Gray, Tom Chadbon June 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.44
+++++ This movie is based on the story "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" (1893) written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 to 1930). The story is about three sisters. One of the sisters (Lucy Whybrow) gets married to a sailor (Ciaran Hines), another (Debbie Findlay) becomes Warden of a mission, and a third (Joanna David) runs a boarding house and, at this time, has a French medical student (Thierry Harcourt) as one of her tenants. The married sister is eventually discovered to be missing. At this point, Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) is called in to investigate but he shows little interest in a mere missing persons case. But when the sister who runs the boarding house receives a grisly Christmas gift (so grisly that Dr. Watson (Edward Hardwicke) has ... Read More

2.Sherlock Holmes: Dying Detective starring: Jeremy Brett, Edward Hardwicke, Rosalie Williams, Charles Gray, Tom Chadbon June 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.56
+++++ This movie is based on the story "The Adventure of the Dying Detective" (1913) written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 to 1930). Adelaide Savage (Susan Harker) consults Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) about what she can do about her husband's cousin, Culverton Smith (John Hyde) who seems to be having a negative effect on her husband Victor Savage (Richard Bonneville). Sherlock dismisses this as not in his field of expertise until Adelaide's husband dies from a parasitic fever. Coincidentally, her husband's cousin is an expert in such diseases. Even more coincidental, the majority of Victor's estate will go to his cousin leaving his wife with very little. At this point Sherlock becomes interested. He even publicly states to Smith that these coincidences ... Read More

3.Dance With a Stranger starring: Miranda Richardson, Rupert Everett, Ian Holm, Stratford Johns, Joanne Whalley directed by: Mike Newell December 05, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.15
I watched "Dance with a Stranger" last night and I was bored. This was a movie that I watched hoping that each scene might be the final one. It was a rental so I figured I might as well watch it in case it suddenly morphed into something worthwhile; it didn't. The problems with "Dance with a Stranger" are numerous but could have easily been corrected if the format had been changed. The promotional notes on the DVD case point out, in one sentence, that the main character (I can't remember her name) was the last woman executed in Great Britain. It mentions that again, in one sentence, at the end of the movie. That's the only way we know this. The events leading up to, but not including, her arrest is the full scope of the movie. The movie would have been so much more if it had been a courtroom ... Read More

4.Sherlock Holmes: Red Circle starring: Jeremy Brett, Edward Hardwicke, Rosalie Williams, Charles Gray, Tom Chadbon June 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.76
+++++ This movie is based on the story "The Adventure of the Red Circle" (1911) written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 to 1930). Mrs. Warren (Betty Marsden), a friend of Mrs. Hudson (Rosalie Williams), consults with Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) on a rather strange matter. Mrs. Warren becomes alarmed when her mysterious new "lodger" or tenant never emerges from his room, communicating with her only through printed notes passed in and out with his meals. Mrs. Warren describes this tenant as follows: "under thirty, very dark, middle height, clean shaven, has an [Italian] accent, [and] no name." Sherlock takes little interest in the case (even after Dr. Watson (Edward Hardwicke) asks him to seriously consider it) until a murder occurs with the prime clue being a red circle dabbed ...

5.Unknown Soldier (1998) starring: Paul Brooke, Olivia Caffrey, Tom Chadbon, Jonathan Cullen, Mark Drewry directed by: David Drury December 15, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.94
Love stories are peculiarly subjective. Personally, this one pushed all my buttons. English country house setting ... the horrors of World War I ... a love triangle with two women from different social classes who somehow come together to try to save the life of our hero ... the shellshocked solider found wandering naked, mute and amnesiac in No Man's land in France and named Angel by the soldiers who find him (and whose lives are saved by him). Angel ends up in a rehabilitation hospital run by Sophia Cary (played by Juliet Aubrey) at her father's country house. Although eventually cured of muteness by a cruel electric shock technique called Faradism, he remains amnesiac. Sophia and Angel fall in love, but who is he? What terrible thing happened to him (or what terrible thing did he do) to make him forget himself ... Read More

6.Coming Out of the Ice starring: John Savage, Willie Nelson, Francesca Annis, Ben Cross, Frank Windsor directed by: Waris Hussein February 26, 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $49.88
This video does an outstanding job of conveying historically accurate truths about the hideous results of atheist-based communism like extremely few books and videos do. I'm concerned that other reviewer's criticism of the non-Hollywood quality may keep you from viewing it. This video was so professionally done that it was broadcast during prime time by CBS. Watch it and gain wisdom. Five stars from me.

7.Beast Must Die starring: Calvin Lockhart, Peter Cushing, Marlene Clark, Anton Diffring, Charles Gray directed by: Paul Annett June 28, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
For a few decades during the latter half of the 20th century, both Amicus Productions and Hammer Film Productions were successful British movie-making companies that each earned reputations for the horror films they produced. But with the test of time, Hammer has come out as the favorite among the bulk of horror fans, and rightly so. With the possible exceptions of TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972) and THE VAULT OF HORROR (1973), which were based on the American comic books published in the 1950s by EC Comics, Amicus rarely produced movies that equaled the literary and cinematic quality of those created by rival Hammer. A case in point is Amicus' werewolf flick THE BEAST MUST DIE (1974). The first cinematic effort from director Paul Annett, whose previous experience was limited to British independent television, THE BEAST MUST ... Read More

9.Rebecca (1997) (2pc) starring: Charles Dance, Diana Rigg, Geraldine James, Jean Anderson, Emilia Fox directed by: Jim O'Brien October 02, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
This film was well done. I have never seen Hitchcock's version to compare it with, but my intuition tells me that more than two hours will provide more space to cover details from the original novel. Although I have never read the Daphne Du Maurier's novel with the same name, the development and conclusion of the film left me quite intrigued. If the film and the text are quite the same, I wonder if the writer is more than a sentimental and romantic writer. For one, I found it quite intriguing that the second Mrs. De Winters never had a name of her own. I Know that the author did that on purpose. What was she trying to communicate to her audience? Was it that the first Mrs. De Winter was always known as Rebecca because she was truly a free woman, and not someone who belonged to this world? After all, she is ... Read More

10.Sherlock Holmes: Three Gables starring: Jeremy Brett, Edward Hardwicke, Rosalie Williams, Charles Gray, Tom Chadbon June 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.87
+++++ This movie is based on the story "The Adventure of the Three Gables" (1926) written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 to 1930). Sherlock (Jeremy Brett) receives a letter from a Mary Maberly (Mary Ellis): "I've had a succession of strange incidents occur to me in connection with my house [known as "The Three Gables"] and I would much value your advice. You would find me at home anytime tomorrow. I believe my late husband Mortimer Maberly was one of your early clients." It turns out that a person wants to buy her house at a high price on the condition that she does not take anything out of it "not even her personal possessions." This extreme interest in her house began after the recent death of her grandson Douglas Maberly (Gary Cady). This episode is ... Read More
