Stuff of Heroism, Heaven, Humour, Healing & Horror
By an Amazon.com customer

	Goodnight Mister Tom [VHS] Buy used from: $3.49 The cover isn't inspiring but ... the Poms do drama well and this is no exception.
	The Mission: Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.96 Evocative and moving - one of the all-time great movie soundtracks.
	That Eye, the Sky by Tim Winton Buy used from: $1.39 Earthy innocence. The ending always disappoints me somehow, but I love this novel.
	The Last Lieutenant Buy used from: $33.33 Pragmatism and spiritual hope collide, love and its many facets are revealed, grace overwhelms death.
	Strong Hand of Love: A Tribute to Mark Heard by Various Artists Buy used from: $1.49 The late, great Mark Heard as sung by his friends and co-conspirators.
	This Bright Hour by Fernando Ortega Buy used from: $4.94 Fernando Ortega's gentle voice does this batch of hymns, and songs of longing, justice.
	The Cross and the Prodigal: The 15th Chapter of Luke, Seen Through the Eyes of Middle Eastern Peasants by Kenneth E. Bailey Buy used from: $1.74 The Prodigal Son(s) story taken back to its middle eastern roots.
	The Insider Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.80 Russell Crowe and Al Pacino give excellent performances in this film about a 'whistle blower' from the tobacco industry.
	Hymns from the Ryman by Gary Chapman Buy used from: $6.98 Beautiful live recordings of classic hymns, done well (the solo fiddle offering of Amazing grace is raw and aching).
	At the Foot of Heaven by Kevin Max Smith Buy used from: $0.01 A creative collaboration between a poet and artist. Poetry that pays respect to meter (i.e. poetry that actually is poetry). Art that is rich and vivid and mostly compliments the text.
	The Complete Father Brown (Father Brown Mystery) by Gilbert Keith Chesterton Buy used from: $2.21 Like a well selected bag of mixed lollies, everyone of these gives satisfaction.
	Henry V Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.90 Skimps on some of the moral dilemnas/flaws raised by the play... but this is so stirring, in a way that isn't allowed anymore, that I can't help watching it once every couple of years - onya Kenneth!
	The Princess Bride Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $2.38 The cliff-top fencing scene is excellent. This movie makes me smile every time I think about it.
	The Year of Living Dangerously Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $4.45 Peter Weir directing, 'our' Mel taking one of the leads and Linda Hunt stealing the show - this film grabs you from a lot of angles.
	Masters of Baroque - Handel/Bach Buy used from: $0.31 Buy this for the 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring' transcription played by the St Loius Brass Quintet - inspired and sublime.
