• Ballad Of A Soldier (Region 2) | DVD | (29/01/2007) from £11.30   |  Saving you £8.69 (43.50%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Nominated at the 1962 Academy Awards for Best Screenplay this Russian classic won many international film awards on its release most notably a BAFTA Award for Best Film. The perfect companion piece to The Cranes Are Flying the storyline highlights the effects of war on individuals as well as that of a nation being dragged to its knees. In the middle of the Second World War Alyosha (Vladimir Ivashov) is commended for destroying two German tanks. Rather than take a medal he requests a four-day pass to visit his mother. The film is about this journey and the life enhancing encounters therein. Produced in 1959 it would have been understandable if the film became a vehicle for the Cold War propaganda of the time but director Grigory Chukhrai manages to avoid that trap instead painting his characters as flawed human individuals trying to survive the catastrophic upheaval in which they find themselves.

• Octopussy | DVD | (20/10/2008) from £4.37   |  Saving you £10.62 (243.02%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Roger Moore was nearing the end of his reign as James Bond when he made Octopussy, and he looks a little worn out. But the movie itself infuses some new blood into the old franchise, with a frisky pace and a pair of sturdy villains. Maud Adams--who'd also been in The Man with the Golden Gun--plays the improbably named Octopussy, while old smoothie Louis Jourdan is her crafty partner in crime. There's an island populated only by women, as well as a fantastic sequence with a hand-to-hand fight on a plane--and on top of a plane. The film even has an extra emotional punch, since this time 007 is not only following the orders of Her Majesty's Secret Service, but he is also exacting a personal revenge: a fellow double-0 agent has been killed. Two Bond films were actually released in 1983 within a few months of each other, as Octopussy was followed by Sean Connery's comeback in Never Say Never Again. The success of both pictures proved that there was still plenty of mileage left in the old licence to kill, though Moore had one more workout--A View to a Kill--before hanging it up. And that title? The franchise had already used up the titles to Ian Fleming's novels, so Octopussy was taken from a lesser-known Fleming short story. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com On the DVD: The high standard of these 007 discs is maintained here, with another extra-packed selection. The "Inside Octopussy" documentary details the making of the movie, which faced competition from Sean Connery's Never Say Never Again, as well as being handicapped by a potentially risible title. The initial story was developed by George Macdonald Fraser, author of the "Flashman" books, whose knowledge of Indian history and locales proved invaluable. Roger Moore prevaricated about signing on as Bond, so American James Brolin was screen-tested instead. The movie also produced the worst accident of the series while filming the train sequence and the stuntman involved was hospitalised for six months. Director John Glen provides a solo commentary that reveals a wealth of technical detail and also that this is one of his favourite Bond movies. Rita Coolidge performs "All Time High", and there are also some storyboard sequences and trailers. --Mark Walker
