• My Left Foot / The Fiel | DVD | (03/02/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Daniel Day-Lewis won a much-deserved Oscar for My Left Foot, with a wily and passionate performance as Irish artist and writer Christy Brown, whose cerebral palsy kept him confined to a wheelchair. Filmmaker Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) adapts Brown's own autobiography for this spirited piece, focusing on the, sometimes difficult, fellow's formative years in his large family and in love with sundry women. Day-Lewis is inspired, and Brenda Fricker (also a recipient of an Oscar for her part in this movie) is almost luminous as Christy's dedicated mother. So, too, are Ray McAnally as the hero's stormy father, and Hugh O'Conor (The Young Poisoner's Handbook) as the child Christy. All in all, this is a complete pleasure for viewers. --Tom Keogh , Amazon.com

• The Iron Horse | DVD | (24/06/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The Iron Horse was John Ford's 50th film and remains his most celebrated of the silent era. Its theme of enterprise and achievement its open-air locations and setting in a vigorous and pioneering past proved just the subject to stimulate the young director's talent. The sheer scale of the film surpassed all other Westerns of the silent era and established Ford as one of the leading directors in the industry. The film combines a conventional tale of double-dealing vengeance and romance with a poetic sense of history and an epic theme - uniting a nation by building a transcontinental railroad and a great man's dream realised by the courage skill and labour of ordinary folk. This restored version features a new score composed and conducted by John Lanchbery performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic.

• Trouble In Store | DVD | (15/10/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Perhaps surprisingly, the British comedy legend Norman Wisdom has made just 20 films, from his debut in Date With a Dream (1948) to the thriller Double-X (1992). From 1948 on he had his own TV series, Wit and Wisdom, but 1953 was the real turning point. Not only was his son Nicholas born, but he became an instant movie star with the release of Trouble in Store. Playing a character called Norman he brought his familiar stage and television personality to the big screen as a young man with the ambition to become a window dresser in a major department store. Ever loveable victim of his own clumsiness, all Norman's efforts to improve himself result in chaos. That is, until he meets Sally (Lana Morris), the girl of his dreams. Then things turn disastrous. Co-starring Margaret Rutherford, Trouble in Store introduced Wisdom's self-penned song which would become his theme, "Don't laugh at Me ('Cause I'm a Fool)". The film became a massive box-office hit and won Wisdom a BAFTA Award. Very much of its time, yet still highly entertaining, this video release provides the opportunity to nostalgically revisit and reassess one of Britain's greatest stars. Wisdom's follow-up was another substantial hit, One Good Turn (1954). --Gary S. Dalkin

• The True Story Collection - Six Adaptations From Real Life Stories | DVD | (18/04/2011) from £12.55   |  Saving you £12.44 (99.12%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Death Falls A superb mix of comedy and drama in this story of a terminally ill man Halstead Johnson (Roberts Blossom) who gets his buddy Dub Farley (Rip Torn) to bust him out of the hospital and in the process antagonises a city policeman, who trails them to the mountains surrounding their hometown. The local sheriff and their lady friend Mae Baxter (Beverly Garland) who both think more kindly of the pair, strive to find the fugitives before the less-compassionate posse, which includes a deranged, rifle toting enemy of the two who's clearly out for revenge. Children of Rage A war story set amidst the bloody conflict in the Middle East, following the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians caughtup in this tragic battle - the Israelis in defence of their homeland, the Palestinians in a brutal struggle to create one. Blunt, honest and courageous this film combines gripping action and bravery alongside the violence, brutality and human tragedy of war. Walking Accross Egypt Jonathan Taylor Thomas is Wesley, a juvenile delinquent who's been in and out of trouble for most of his young life. In detention for stealing cars he desperately wants to get out any way that he can. Ellen Burstyn is Mattie, a lonely old widow who buries herself in local church activities and her spoiled grown up children (Judge Reinhold and Gail O'Grady). Mattie sees some good in the boy and allows him into her home for a second chance. At first, Wesley sees this as an easy opportunity but soon the harsh reality sets in and he has to make a decision between his former deadend lifestyle or the new life that Mattie offers him. Anatomy of an Illness Norman Cousins (Edward Asner) was a success in all aspects of life - the Dean of New York editors, married to a beautifulwife and father to doting daughters. Fate deals him a terrible blow when he is struck down with a debilitating illness that has the medical experts stumped; all agree on one thing however, that his condition is irreversible. Not accepting this prognosis, Norman takes matters into his own hands and prescribes himself a regime of a positive attitude, with lots of laughter (often at other people's expense) an attitude which helps overcome his illness and ultimately saves his life. Hustling A New York investigative reporter Fran Morrison (Lee Remick) is put on an assignment to infiltrate the secret world of prostitution and expose the people behind it. Her investigation leads to a friendship with a hardnosed hooker (Jill Clayburgh) who spills her guts and tells Fran everything she wants to know as she herself has been a victim of abuse at the hands of the people being investigated. Fran soon discovers that some of the city's richest and most powerful families benefit directly from prostitution, causing a storm of controversy for those exposed for their involvement when the report appears in a national magazine. Silence of the Heart A 17-year-old boy (Chad Lowe) is killed in an automobile accident. As the facts come to light, the indications are that the boy has actually taken his own life. His mother (Mariette Hartley) and sister (Dana Hill) don't agree and try to search for the truth. Even the father (Howard Hesseman) digs in his heels and refuses to face the probability of a suicide. As the story unravels, the boy's best friend (Charlie Sheen) is tormented by the possibility that perhaps he could have prevented the tragedy.

• Made For Each Other / James Stewart On Film | DVD | (01/11/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £3.99

  Produced in a time when films were both literally and figuratively black and white, Made for Each Other was unique in its effective blending of the comedic, the dramatic and, as perhaps some would insensitively say, the melodramatic. Beautiful Carole Lombard and likeable James Stewart are Jane and John Mason, a couple who meet, fall madly in love, marry and quickly have a baby. But while they--and the audience--are confident that they are meant for each other, life intercedes and the couple must meet with disapproving in-laws, job stress, financial challenges and, finally, a devastating illness.Lombard and Stewart--and the genuinely good people they portray--are utterly compelling and charming. Say yawningly what you will about tradition but the Masons' path is one that many, if not most, go down. And unlike the wonderful but wholly fantasy world of peer Preston Sturges, director John Cromwell's universe is, like real life, full of ups and downs. It's an accessible, sensitive portrayal. He gives the audience characters they want to see succeed, and to see stay together in the process. It may be a tale of triumph of the human spirit but its ultimate sentiment--one that celebrates the kindness of strangers--is thoroughly sweet, though in no way saccharine. Look for a great supporting cast, including a blustery Charles Coburn as John Mason's boss and Lucile Watson as Mason's interfering mother. --N F Mendoza
