  • Hoping to see the TD double-bill too.
  • Amadeus: Director's Cut (1984) Blu-ray. What a fabulous film Milos Foreman has crafted here. Everything about this film is brilliant; script, acting, shooting and of course that sublime music from Herr Mozart. Although the tag-line for the film cla…
  • No one? Oh, well looks like I'm going to have the cinema to myself. Yay!

  • The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford (2007) DVD. This is a wonderful character driven film, wonderfully acted, beautifully directed and shot in muted hues to suit the subject, and even with some distortion on the lens at times.…
  • Amadeus: Director's Cut. Blu-ray.
  • Dawn of the Planet of The Apes (2014) Blu-ray. Continuing on from The Rise of the Planet of The Apes, Dawn is set some 10 years later: the simian flu has wiped out most of mankind and the apes have established a community. A group of human survivors…
  • Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, blu-ray. Love the Apes franchise and have all the films, and enjoy each to varying degrees.
  • Crimson Peak? thought it was called Crimson Tide! Never really got into the Jack Ryan films, just don't do it for me really. Red October was a damn good watch though.
  • The Belly of Paris, 1873 by Emile Zola - book 3 in the 20 book Rougon-Macquart series.
  • Death is a Woman (1966) An Associated British-Pathe Ltd Production [Network Distribution - The British Film] DVD. A mid-sixties thriller that clings to the coat-tails of Bond. The poster art (used as the DVD cover) is very much like Thunderball but …
  • Guilt is my Shadow (1950) An Associated British Picture Corporation Ltd Production - [Network Distribution - The British Film] DVD. This is a slice of British drama mainly set in Devon (unfortunately not the part I live in - though some of it was sh…

  • @DaltonCraig007, indeed you are!
  • @Master_Dahark, yes the 80s version. But I do like the original. And that ending always puts a shiver up my spine! Felix Leiter is a FLY!
  • Actually watched The Brood a few weeks ago, cracking film. And although Oliver Reed was by now more famous for his drinking than acting, I thought he gave a magnificent performance, as he did in the Musketeers films. The opening scene is awesome, an…

  • @Master_Dahark if you like Depardieu, then check out one of his best early French films, Les Valseuses, a classic piece of 70s cinema.

  • Cleopatra [1934] - (Eureka - The Masters of Cinema) dual format Blu-ray/DVD. This historical epic stars the gorgeous Claudette Clobert and directed by master of epic Hollywood Cecil B DeMille. Concentrating on the relationships between Cleopatra and…
  • Cleopatra (1934) Eureka - Master of Cinema [dual format]. Directed by Cecile B DeMille, with the gorgeous Claudette Colbert as the Egyptian queen.

  • Twins of Evil - Hammer Horror [Network - The British Film] Blu-ray. This Hammer Horror from 1971 mixes Witch-hunting and vampirism. Peter Cushing plays the fanatical Puritan who happily burns young girls at the stake, while his orphaned nieces come …
  • Just watched Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in tribute to the late great Leonard Nimoy. Great film, great actor, will be sorely missed.

  • Ransom (1975) - British Lion [Network - The British Film]. Starring Sean Connery this effective thriller from the mid-seventies (when almost every other film was about hijacking) has the big Scot playing Scandinavian security chief Col Tahlvik. Afte…
  • @TripAces, nice post. I used to work in a small Video/DVD shop here in rural England, and the amount of people who wouldn't watch something because their friends hadn't liked it or "Barry Norman (British film critic) said it was rubbish", or it didn…
