1.Shadowlands (1993) starring: Anthony Hopkins, Debra Winger, Julian Fellowes, Roddy Maude-Roxby, Michael Denison directed by: Richard Attenborough January 31, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.94
When C.S.Lewis, author of such books as "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" was only a small boy of 9, his mother died and he learned that his only way through the pain and loneliness was to encase himself in an impenetrable shell, so that pain could not touch him. He leads an ordered, safe life as an Oxford Don, singing in the cathedral choir and lecturing to audiences of adoring women readers. When he meets American writer, Joy Gresham, her brash, New York, Jewish forthrightness almost batters him but luckily he summons enough courage to begin a friendship. He agrees to marry her so as to allow her and her son to remain in England and gradually she softens his defences and becomes part of his life as a platonic friend. When they discover that Joy is dying from incurable cancer, Lewis realises ... Read More

2.Tango Lesson starring: Sally Potter, Pablo Veron, Naveira, Salas, Too directed by: Sally Potter March 16, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.20
Tango Lesson Is only for tangueros - it illustrates a one woman obsession with the dance. Hence it's quite limited and you must be very interested in Tango/Milonga to get anything from it.

3.Mayerling (1968) starring: Omar Sharif, Catherine Deneuve, James Mason, Ava Gardner, James Robertson Justice directed by: Terence Young September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.99
I saw the 1968 version of Mayerling in April of 1969 at a base theater while I was in basic training in the Air Force. I note this because the subject of the film and its well-dressed actors and its European scenery were so different from the military surroundings and military "dress" which I was enduring at the time. I had not heard about the story of Prince Rudolph and Princess Maria before. But suspected Mayerling's tragic ending from the start, but I think it did take the film a long time to reach its conclusion. However, I believe Mayerling was a visual delight and the musical score was beautiful too. The cast was excellent with Omar Sharif and Catherine Deneuve along with Ava Gardner and James Mason. To many the story of these tragic lovers seemed unbelievable ... Read More

5.Persuasion starring: Amanda Root, Ciarán Hinds, Susan Fleetwood, Corin Redgrave, Fiona Shaw directed by: Roger Michell November 12, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.13
this is the second worst movie that I have ever watched. I never saw anything as boring as this is. What a waste of money

6.That Hamilton Woman starring: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Alan Mowbray, Sara Allgood, Gladys Cooper directed by: Alexander Korda July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.99
This is a typical London Films Korda classic of the time. While a beautiful and romantic film, much of the incidents portrayed in Emma's life are highly romanticized and inaccurate. Vivian Leign is her usually charged and bouncy self, and Olivier his usual stiff upper lip. The film becomes more a show of chemistry between these two famous actors of the time, with history loosely thrown in! Vivian Leigh is all over this film, and while some find her bubbly manner charming, at times it can be annoying. I was half expecting her to go into her Scarlet bit while Olivier (Nelson) was being dragged along with the story. The production value is certainly first-rate, although a bit inaccurate at times. The film's music was certainly not period at all, and at one point one hears "A Life on the Ocean Wave" in the background, ... Read More

7.Music Lovers starring: Richard Chamberlain, Glenda Jackson, Max Adrian, Christopher Gable, Kenneth Colley directed by: Ken Russell January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.93
This is one of my favorite movies. The music is great. The acting is great. For me, everything is great except that it also has many sad scenes, however we have to understand that it is an interpretation of the life of Tchaikovsky.

8.The Go-Between starring: Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Margaret Leighton, Michael Redgrave, Dominic Guard directed by: Joseph Losey February 20, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $23.95
I just don't understand why it's taking so long for the dvd to be released. Same goes for the beautiful soundtrack. Has there ever been one?

9.Anne of The Thousand Days starring: Richard Burton, Geneviève Bujold, Irene Papas, Anthony Quayle, John Colicos directed by: Charles Jarrott February 28, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it when it was released. What acting! Don't you love to hear Richard Burton's voice? And Ms. Bujold...her acting makes the part. Now for some good news I wanted to share. I went to the Universal Movie Studios website, actually to ask them when the TV series Centennial might ever be released on DVD (another absolute favorite of mine) and it says on the site that on Sept. 18, 2007 it will be released on DVD as a 2-movie collection: Anne of The Thousand Days and Mary, Queen of Scots. Did I make anyone else's day like reading that made mine? Hope so.

10.Firelight starring: Sophie Marceau, Stephen Dillane, Dominique Belcourt, Kevin Anderson, Lia Williams directed by: William Nicholson February 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.94
This is a movie for any fan of period stories, especially those interested in tales of love and romance. The performances in this film are exceptional. It's noteworthy that the love portrayed here is not only the deeply romantic love between a man and woman, but also the intense love between parent and child. It is a tremendous shame that this wonderful film is not yet available on DVD for American audiences!
