1.Hideous Kinky starring: Kate Winslet, Bella Riza, Saïd Taghmaoui, Carrie Mullan, Pierre Clémenti directed by: Gillies MacKinnon April 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.94
There is not much I can say about this movie that hasn't been said beautifully by others. I saw this when I was around 20 years old and it left an indelible impression on me. I am truly grateful for Kate Winslet to have chosen to tell this story. I think that her character is based on the granddaughter of Freud to to be especially familiar for me, as I come from a family of Freudians and yet I too am of similar spirit to Julia. However I only learned that fact after watching it and loving it already. If you enjoyed this movie as I have, I also recommend 'Holy Smoke' which she made with Harvey Keitel before this movie. It is similar but also very different.

2.Last of Blonde Bombshells starring: Judi Dench, Ian Holm, Leslie Caron, Olympia Dukakis, Cleo Laine directed by: Gillies MacKinnon September 04, 2001

I received the DVD The Last of the Blonde Bombshells as a gift and since have ordered 2 as gifts. The response has been terrific! You don't have to be a Judi Dench fan to thoroughly enjoy this delightful period story.

3.Simple Twist Of Fate starring: Steve Martin, Gabriel Byrne, Laura Linney, Catherine O'Hara, Alana Austin directed by: Gillies MacKinnon November 25, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
A little gem of a movie. Not sure why some reviewers thought the start of the movie was slow - it explained his present day personality. Steve Martin is just superb in this - a very subtle, layered performance. It's one of those movies that stays with you long after you watched it. Wish he did more of these types of movies.

4.Behind the Lines starring: Jonathan Pryce, James Wilby, Jonny Lee Miller, Stuart Bunce, Tanya Allen directed by: Gillies MacKinnon April 24, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.19
In 1998 I saw a great war film that was lost in the glare of the nearly simultaneous American film releases of Terrence Malick's remake of The Thin Red Line- which is a great film, and Steven Spielberg's cliché and stereotype-dripping Saving Private Ryan. It was a 1997 Canadian and British film called Regeneration, directed by Gillies MacKinnon (who directed The Playboys, and Small Faces), based upon the famed book of the same title by British novelist Pat Barker. The screenplay was written by Allan Scott. There were a couple of differences between it and the other films; the first being that it was set during World War One, in 1917, while the other two took place during World War Two. The second was that Regeneration may have been the best film of the trio. In the years since, I have searched ... Read More

5.Small Faces starring: Iain Robertson, Joe McFadden, Steven Duffy, Laura Fraser, Garry Sweeney directed by: Gillies MacKinnon April 08, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.50
The film small faces is great, i live where the film is set and gang culture is very popular in the gorbals. The gangs in the film (tongs,glen)were very feared around glasgow in the 1990s but now they are not very popular. the film is a very sad when lex has his brother killed. THE FILM HAS SOME QUIT VIOLENT SCENES THE FILOM HAS EVERY THING FROM SEX VIOLENCE AND TEARS IT IS GREAT

7.Trojan Eddie starring: Stephen Rea, Richard Harris, Stuart Townsend, Aislín McGuckin, Brendan Gleeson directed by: Gillies MacKinnon March 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.45
It's too bad the celtic tiger government doesn't support its film industry. Films such as this don't make it over here because they're not supported. They don't have that sappy 'lucky charms' and leprechaun lack of mind. "Trojan Eddie" is a tale about the "Travellers" a minority in Ireland whom the Irish don't like to talk about too much.Richard Harris is the Patriarch and Stephen Rea a a bumbling jester type. Both are excellent in their roles and the laughter at the end is warmly chilling.

9.The Playboys starring: Albert Finney, Aidan Quinn, Robin Wright Penn, Milo O'Shea, Alan Devlin directed by: Gillies MacKinnon
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
Although this is not a "Great" film, it is a good representation of a time period and life in that time. It shows the drama of life and how people adjust to make that drama tolerable. You have to watch it more than once to see the silliness of the characters, but it is worth the time. Irish cinema is wonderful.
