Customer Product Reviews

As co-writer it's not surprising that his sharp delivery of a witty script is very funny. Should appeal to anyone with a sense of humour.

Seventies viewing at its best. Dramatic and suspenseful with quite a bit of violence. A surprise for anyone who thought old TV cop series were all tame.

I've just bought this myself. One of the finest TV series ever made. At the risk of offending its fans I think this makes The Saint look really tame. Sorry Roger. Much more action and definitely more gritty.

Makes a change. The movies succeeded because they didn't change the recipe. Just more of the same in longer stories. First rate.

He's made his name doing action packed movies with plenty of special effects and against these this may seem disappointing. Actually, it's not bad.

By most standards this is a pretty good drama but we've been spoilt by some of Willis' other action exploits. (Die Hard etc)

A thoughtful and more realistic portrayal of this violent time than the norm. Excellent acting and script make this a four star in my book. Don't assume a happy ending because Ron Howard's in it.

I wouldn't bother with sequels but this original movie is worth a look.

Not a classic but enjoyable nonsense with good pre CGI special effects and stunts. Didn't need a sequel though.

Excellent portrayal of life in a tough school with even tougher teachers. Bygraves is in an unusual role for him but this doesn't stop him giving a great performance. Top supporting cast too.

It's almost there but it's no Blazing Saddles. Not a classic.

Very funny and entertaining for those who like its humour.

If you like the style and the humour then you won't be disappointed.

Flinstones it isn't, but that's why a lot of people find it refreshing and enjoyable.

As kids get bolder this makes more and more sense - unfortunately. No denying the humour.

A cult following, but although it's funny not everyone likes it.

Though it may take you by surprise if you're only used to the Flintstones.

A very popular series even if some of the script is a little blue. No denying the talent behind it.

If you do it will probably annoy you. Nowadays they call it edgy comedy. Judge for yourself.

Popular and very watchable even if the dialogue sometimes surprises.

Even if the plots don't excite like they used to, there are still some great songs to listen to.

Low budget playlets, usually with surprisingly well known actors. Hume Cronyn, Robert Culp, John Williams etc. Don't expect anything at the level of his films but I find them interesting period pieces.

But it would have been even better if it had been 30 minutes shorter. Nevertheless, worth watching.

When you consider that a human armageddon was just round the corner, I find it bordering on bad taste to have a cast straight from Mary Poppins without a care in the world.

Any musical with a downbeat theme should have a dark side (Carousel, West Side Story) with songs to match. You shouldn't have children skipping round the garden singing pretty songs on the eve of an invasion.

No CGI, no colour and no spectacular crashes. Sounds boring, but in fact it's one of many great films of the period with modest heroes doing their best. Just enough technical jargon to add flavour.

Interesting selection of movies, each with a different interpretation of the genre.

A top cast and a great theme song running throughout keep this entertaining. A sensible script and plenty of action make this watchable even now.

Without Sellers this series could only go downhill. Lom, Kwouk and Stark hang in there.

But they laboured the interviews for too long. More action and less chat would have made it a four star for me.

I don't rave about her films the way Hollywood does. But if you're into her movies around £2 a film can't be bad.

Citizen Cane, Casablanca etc, are supposed the be examples of the best. They're good, but I've seen better. It applies to this offering too. Sure it's a laugh but Lemmon's endless squeaky voice when in drag (which is most of the film) and Curtis' monotonous Cary Grant impersonation left me cold. Not five stars in my book but judge for yourself.

Not a subtle film and not in the Clouseau class, but the slapstick is worth a look.

Not up to Cannonball, but entertaining. The lines aren't that special but the slapstick keeps it going.

Atmospheric with great effects. A cast of top names. Walken is brilliant as the warrior from beyond the grave. A must see.

Don't ask friends to give the plot away. Not the most exciting film, but it has its moments.

One of those films where you don't want to know what happens. Tense moments but dull ones as well.

Don't be misled by the homepage illustration, as far as I know this has never been produced in colour. But don't let that put you off. This is one of my favourite WW2 movies because it tells a dramatic account of a true story with such dignity. No gung-ho heroes here. Just dedicated men and women. A must see.

No colour, no CGI, but this tells a true story with such passion and humility that it has to be a five for me. One of my favourites.

Except to say that this film doesn't rely on the famous dance routine to make the grade. Fans of the film often forget that the storyline of the girl forced to carry out her contractual duties to a bullying studio would be a great story as a non-musical.

Ray's special effects predate CGI but the action and the stories more than make up for it. You buy it for the kids and then end up watching it yourself.

As they say 'A star studded cast', but it's true. A western with different stories going on and overlapping which stop it appearing too long. Some good action along the way.

Nothing like Enter the Dragon. Carradine plays three characters completely unrelated in this intriguing story of a man's quest for 'The Book of Knowledge'. I found it compelling. There's enough action to keep you watching.

One of those movies you want to watch because it seems everyone else has. Not that you need a reason to watch this superb thriller.

Original plots are hard to come by but this is one of them. Well acted and directed but not for the faint-hearted.

Enough talent to last for a sequel. Still very enjoyable.

Later sequels started to pall but this is excellent. Sellers on top form.

Not as sharp as the first because it's no longer a novelty, but still entertaining.

A great western to go out in. Apart from the action, there's a sensitive and interesting story of an ageing gunman with cancer coping with dignity. Exactly how the Duke died for real three years later.

A long film, but that helps to put accross the twenty years our man spent inside for a crime he didn't commit.
