Caberet - 30th Anniversary Special Edition [1972]
What can I say other than excellent!! This film works as well today as it did when it was first released. The amazing cast and wonderful crew work together to create an absolute musical master piece. The blend of Nazi Germany and caberet may not seem to be an obvious one but as anyone who has seen the play or read the book will know it works. I wasnt even born when this adaptation was released but it is now and Im sure will remain for years my favourite film! They just dont make them like this anymore!

An absolute masterpiece.
Perhaps not the greatest musical ever made - though certainly it should be in the top ten. Perhaps not the greatest film ever made - though unquestionably it should be in the top fifty. As a complete package though, its hard to beat and this admirable DVD provides an excellent opportunity to reappraise a worthy winner of eight Oscars (beaten to best film by The Godfather).Liza Minnelli has never been better. Joel Gray is sublime. The era is perfectly defined. And the famous scene of the singing Nazi youth, still sends a shiver down your spine. The comprehensive extras on the DVD add to the film, by filling in some of the details you might not know if you werent around when the film was initially released. The pristine quality of the film itself is faultless, certainly much better than the earlier video release. The film was rated 18 when first issued in this country due to some of the adult themes it covers, but compared to much of todays cinema it now seems quite mild. However, be careful who you watch it with; your ageing maiden Aunt and the under twelves might find it hard to take!

I have to say that this is one of the best Rainbow videos i have ever seen. I grew up watching Rainbow and this brought back loads of memories... 
Well I was a bit sceptical of buying a new improved version of The Snowman as the original is such a classic. However I found a lot of the extras interesting, it gave me a good insight of how animation used to be created. I also found that because it was in widescreen I didnt have the annoying black.. 
Paul Newman and his Butch Cassidy director, George Roy Hill, made a very original comedy in this 1977 story of an over-the-hill player/coach (Newman) for a lousy hockey team who gets results when he teaches his players to get dirty. One of the most hilariously profane movies ever to come out of Hollywood, this is the kind of film that makes its own rules as it goes along. Newman is very good, and while Hill goes for the gusto in terms of capturing the violence of this world, his instinct .. 
This 1951 adaptation of A Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge, is hailed by many as the best adaptation of Charles Dickens timeless Christmas story. Certainly, it is a very good movie more than capable of bringing a tear to your eye as you witness Scrooges rebirth as a man who..

Milnes classic stories because his daughters had loved the stories so much.Walt soon found out the Americans were not so familiar with the Winnie The Pooh characters so Walt decided to break the film up into 3 short movies so Pooh could be mo..
