Finlay Currie (Balthasar),
Ferdy Mayne (Captain, Rescue ship),
Robert Brown (Chief of Rowers),
A nobleman has to prove himself in the Roman arena. Hollywood spectacle at its finest. The chariot race is still amazing. Ridiculously loaded four, yes four, disc set, including a terrific restoration of the 1926 silent version of same, which has to be DVD extra of the decade! Highly recommended.

Though I can't stand The Sound of Music, I'm perfectly happy with this film, possibly the best Hollywood movie musical. Great songs, great choreography and dancing (particularly Russ Tamblyn), wishy-washy leads but a superb supporting cast make up for that. Highly recommended.

I had to be bound and gagged in order to sit through this, but the film does have a legion of fans, so who am I to pass judgment? I note that some of the songs are tolerable; if you've managed to go your entire life without them being played to death. I always root for the Wehrmacht.

Make up your own mind as to whether Patton or Montgomery were right in their choice of tactics. Did I mention one of Jerry Goldsmith's best ever music scores too?

I was going to say "not strictly a horror film" - but it is! The genius is allowing the parallel stories of the two serial killers to exponentially increase the suspense of the whole. A perfect movie. A must-have DVD.

Rousing 13th century historical epic concerning Highland's hero, William Wallace and his feud with the evil English. Action packed and extremely bloody. Gibson isn't too much of a sore thumb amidst the cream of the UK's grizzled character actors.

Titanic
(USA
1997)
Director: James Cameron
Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson),
Kate Winslet (Rose DeWitt Bukater),
Billy Zane (Cal Hockley),
Kathy Bates (Molly Brown),

Bernard Hill (Captain E.J. Smith),
Jonathan Hyde (J. Bruce Ismay),
Danny Nucci (Fabrizio De Rossi),
David Warner (Spicer Lovejoy),
Bill Paxton (Brock Lovett),
Gloria Stuart (Rose DeWitt Bukater),
Finally a loaded special edition of Cameron's soggy romantic drama. A film that people seem to love or hate (or even love to hate - although I note that a lot of its detractor's haven't actually seen it). I think the film is great cinema, ignore the romance (alright don't) and watch as a major tragedy unfolds with astonishing attention to detail before your eyes. Highly recommended.

I was disappointed when I saw this at the cinema. Not because it was bad, but because there wouldn't be another to look forward to...Perhaps too many hobbits looking lovingly at eachother in the last 1/2 hour. Still the three films taken together, methinks, will be the greatest cinematic achievement in my lifetime. REALLY loaded four disc extended version - 50 extra minutes, folks.

Clint Eastwood's Oscar winning tale of woman boxer, Swank. Terrific direction and performances but I've gone off this bi-polar film that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy then bludgeons you senseless. One of the first three titles released on HD DVD. I'd wait and see if I were you...
