![]() | Kinsey (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.72 A beautifully realised watch about a complicated American professor driven to demystify sex and sexual behaviour for the masses. Maverick direction, stunning writing and Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, John Lithgow and Peter Sarsgaard - all fantastic. (USA has this 2 disc version - UK does not)

![]() | After the Wedding
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.79 Five stars. Danish masterpiece. See Amazon review.
|
![]() | Venus
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $0.97 Five stars. Adored it. See Amazon review.
|
![]() | Notes on a Scandal
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.54 Stunning movie with two top-of-their-game actresses literally eating up the screen - backed up by superb support cast - especially Bill Nighy. Robbed at the Oscars.
|
![]() | Shall We Dance? (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $1.96 I know! But have you seen it? Hardly highbrow nor Shakespeare - who cares! This is one of the most delicious and heart-warming watches of the last few years - ballroom dancing and romance. I regularly lend it out as a pick me up.
|
![]() | Infamous
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $3.04 Toby Jones is sensationally good as the insufferable intellect that was Truman Capote. Daniel Craig all brute menace - more engaging than "Capote" with another Oscar central performance - makes you care about a very frothy man.
|
![]() | The Namesake
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.53 Five stars. Adored it. See review.
|
![]() | Little Children
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.66 A difficult watch worth the difficulty. The actor who plays the town paedophile is soo good as to make your skin crawl - literally. And Winslet is in a class of her own. In truth - this is a film you may admire more than you actually enjoy.
|
![]() | The Painted Veil
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.00 Slow old-fashioned realisation of the "Love In A Time Of Cholera" book - with Edward Norton and Naomi Watts perfectly cast - backed by a superb Toby Jones, Diana Rigg and a huge troup of talented Chinese locals. A class act and beautifully filmed too.
|
![]() | Black Book
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.73 Brilliant World War II drama about a traitor in the Resistance selling out Jews for cash and their belongings with promises of freedom. Brutal and too nasty by far as Paul Verhoeven always is, but compelling and believable all the way to the end.
|
![]() | Crash - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.90 Stunning race-relations study with an amazing cast - many against type - and all of them given room to shine in something important.
|
![]() | United 93 (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.01 Sensational depiction of the plane and passengers who fought back - some of the best pacing and editing I've ever seen - literally breathtaking. A masterpiece.
|
![]() | Death to Smoochy (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.59 Stunner with Robin Williams in full anarchic flow. It's about a child TV presenter who gets caught being corrupt and loses his job - replaced by the sweet-as-pie Edward Norton - playing TV character Smoochy. Rude, crude & so much fun.
|
![]() | Babel (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $5.79 Brilliant and infuriating at the same time; many different stories in wildly different countries - yet all connected. Amazing cast of unknowns. Also has a beautiful and evocative soundtrack by the man who did "The Motorcycle Diaries" - Gustavo Santaolalla.
|
![]() | Children of Men [Blu-ray]
Awesome depiction of a future 18 years from now where all women in the world are sterile and the planet goes to pot. Until one woman is given to Clive Owen to protect and get to the "Human Project".
|
![]() | The Departed (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $1.75 Good mob movie, but the best film? Still DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, Ray Winstone and Alec Baldwin are all revelations, and Nicholson never ceases to amaze. Nice work by all the cast.
|
![]() | Imagine Me & You
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.00 Gorgeous rom-com movie with a delicious twist - I loved it - predict will be a cult classic for years. Matthew Goode and Darren Boyd are good as the hapless boys, but its Piper Perabo and Lena Headey who get to shine and be yum yum yum
Title of the film comes from a lyric in The Turtles song "Happy Together".
|
![]() | Amazing Grace
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.25 English hero William Wilberforce and his lifelong struggle to abolish the abomination of the slave trade in Britain and its colonies. When the bagpipes play that truly beautiful song at the end - you'll need wetboots to contain the tears and save the carpet.
|
![]() | Stranger Than Fiction [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $9.88 Loved it - Emma Thompson and Will Farrell perfectly cast along with Maggie Glynnenhal and Dustin Hoffman - there was something immensely uplifting about this. And beautifully filmed too. Looks gorgeous on Blu Ray. Bought it.
|
![]() | The Pursuit of Happyness (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.77 Borderline cheesy in places for sure, but Will Smith is a such great actor when he's given the right material - and his real-life son plays a stormer in this too. Uplifting for all the right reasons.
|
![]() | Inside Man (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.07 Superb thriller about a bank heist with deep dark secrets in its plush Manhattan vaults that some would not want the world to know about. Denzel is the absolute business as ever. Clive Owen finally a star.
|
![]() | The Constant Gardener (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.02 Brutal but amazing. Both Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes are fantastic in this sad re-telling of a woman with courage and convictions, who meets a man with the same.
|
![]() | Munich (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $28.08 Another difficult watch kept deliberatly difficult and detached by ace Director Spielberg. Israel's wounds and hatreds opened & dissected. Powerful stuff and admirable.
|
![]() | The Sea Inside
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $1.35 Javier Bardem as the immobile paraplegic trying to end his sterile life with dignity, but met with courts and moral deflectors who are not in his awful predicament. With so little to work with, Bardem is still extraordinary. Very moving.
|
![]() | Off the Black
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $0.53 Nick Nolte is a baseball coach who is way too friendly with tins of beers by night and barely holding it together on the pitch by day. Enter a college slugger kid who changes his world. An indie film with a major heart. See review
