• All Quiet on the Western Front | DVD | (28/03/2016) from £7.99   |  Saving you £9.00 (150.25%)   |  RRP £14.99

  If a classic movie can be measured by the number of indelible images it burns into the collective imagination, then All Quiet on the Western Front's status is undisputed. Since its release in 1930 (and Oscar win for best picture), this film's saga of German boys avidly signing up for World War I battle--and then learning the truth of war--has been acclaimed for its intensity, artistry, and grown-up approach. Director Lewis Milestone's technical expertise is already stunning in the great opening sequence, as a professor exhorts his students to volunteer for the glory of the Fatherland while troops march past the windows. Erich Maria Remarque's novel is faithfully followed, but Milestone's superbly composed frames make it physical: the first battle scene, with the camera prowling the trenches as they fill with death and chaos, was surely the Saving Private Ryan of its day. The cast is strong, with little-known Lew Ayres finding stardom in the lead (Ayres became a pacifist and conscientious objector during World War II; although he served in battle as a medic, the stance harmed his career).--Robert Horton

• Harlem Roots - The Headliners Vol. 2 | DVD | (29/10/2007) from £3.36   |  Saving you £7.89 (375.71%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The Headliners - Harlem Roots Volume Two features three of the most amiable showmen in black music. Here we see Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and Louis Jordan in a selection of Soundies filmed in New York in the 1940's.The short films included in this compilation are known as Soundies. These musical films were originally shown in a jukebox machine called a Panoram. Over two thousand of these films were made between 1941 and 1947 featuring many of the most popular recording artists of the day. Soundies were extremely popular, but due to a shortage of production materials during the war, the Panorams themselves were in short supply. The shortage of Panorams ultimately spelled the demise of the Soundie in 1947. Nevertheless, they captured in film many superb musicians at the peak of their powers making an irreplaceable contribution to the history of American music during this period.
