• While You Were Sleeping | DVD | (22/01/2001) from £8.25   |  Saving you £6.74 (81.70%)   |  RRP £14.99

  If you don't mind a heavy dose of schmaltz and sentiment, this romantic comedy has a gentle way of seducing you with its charms. While You Were Sleeping was the first starring role for Sandra Bullock after her blockbuster success in Speed. In a role that nicely emphasises her easygoing appeal, Bullock is the reason the movie works at all. She plays Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, a Chicago Transit tollbooth clerk who's hopelessly smitten with a daily commuter, Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher). She saves the object of her affection from certain death after he's mugged and falls onto the train tracks. While Peter is in a coma, she lets his family believe that she is his fiancée, and surprisingly finds herself drawn to his brother (Bill Pullman), for whom the attraction is definitely mutual. How Lucy gets out of this amorous predicament is what makes this pleasant movie less predictable than its familiar ingredients would initially indicate. It's feel-good fluff, with characters and performances that keep you smiling through the drippy plot mechanics. --Jeff Shannon

• Cast A Giant Shadow | DVD | (20/05/2002) from £11.42   |  Saving you £1.57 (13.75%)   |  RRP £12.99

  1966’s Cast a Giant Shadow is based on Ted Berkman’s biography of Colonel "Mickey" Marcus, the American soldier who served as an adviser in the fight to establish the state of Israel in 1948. It stars Kirk Douglas as the likeable "stiffneck" and WWII veteran persuaded to take up the cause. Israel back then was depicted as a negligible military force under threat of extinction at the hands of its Arab neighbours, hamstrung by a UN embargo on arms supplies. It takes Douglas at his most square-jawed to see off the Egyptian military and defy a blockade to beat a path through to Jerusalem. This is not cinema verité but Hollywood. Marcus’ dilemma--to settle into peacetime in America or follow his more natural, combative instincts abroad--is symbolised by a love triangle, involving wife Angie Dickinson and Santa Berger as Magda, the soldier whom he falls for in Palestine. Although lavish and spectacular, especially in the war scenes--filmed in the actual Middle Eastern locations in which they occurred--Cast a Giant Shadow is not entirely authentic (for a start, they’re driving 1950s vehicles in the 40s). Moreover, in the light of later troubles in the region, not everyone will be heart warmed by this depiction of plucky little Israel coping against Arab foes who are barely depicted as human throughout the film, merely as tanks and gunfire. Still, it’s an impressive enough relic of epic 1960s cinema, with cameos from Yul Brynner, John Wayne as Marcus’ wartime general, and Frank Sinatra as a pilot scattering the enemy by dropping soda dispensers on them. On the DVD: Cast a Giant Shadow‘s restoration here is visually immaculate. The mono sound, however, is often indistinct, with a good deal of sibilant hiss. Disappointingly, the only extra is the original trailer.--David Stubbs

• Cinderella (Cenerentola) | DVD | (17/08/2015) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Cinderella is a timeless classic and this new version brings a modern spin to the story while keeping firmly in mind the love and care the original source material requires. The story unfolds in mid-1950's Rome, a giddy time of renewal for the city, filled with romanticism and spanning the threshold between our modern world and that of the past. The first post-WWII decade in Rome was an exciting time of rebirth for a city and people who had weathered many a storm. Similar to Cinderella who, faced with brutal adversity, discovers her destiny and finds true love the mid-50's were a time when not only Rome, but also the world at large, embraced a renewed prosperity and lust for life. Although the famous film, La Dolce Vita (The Good Life) was a few years away Romans had already coined the phrase. It was a time when TV was making a strong emergence and would grow into a worldwide phenomenon, revolutionizing the culture. 'The paparazzo' (an Italian invention) was catching the glamour of celebrities and excitement of new wealth that were sweeping Rome. Our story begins with AURORA as a budding teenager and a pianist. She lost her mother at her birth, but has the enduring love of her well-known conductor father, VALERIO. Bringing the same passion, commitment and devotion to his beloved daughter as he does to his music, Valerio marries Aurora's governess, IRENE, hoping to give his daughter a new family. As fate would have it, Aurora accidentally ventures into the estate next door and meets a mysterious neighbour, SEBASTIAN. A few years older than her, he seems to be her soul mate - a sensitive boy, who dreams to be a writer one day. Feeling that deep connection, Aurora falls in love for the first time. But the magic of the moment is brutally interrupted when Valerio has a heart attack and dies, unaware that he made a grave mistake by trusting Irene with his last will, which was supposed to protect Aurora. The girl's resolve is truly tested when she realises that Irene and her two selfish daughters have no intention of treating her like an equal. Soon after Valerio's death, Irene turns his villa into a boutique hotel and forces Aurora to work there as a servant. The prospect of seeing Sebastian again is also cut short when Aurora finds out that he and his family left the estate for good. As the misery of her new life fully sinks in, Aurora clings to her music and the precious memories of meeting Sebastian. A copy of his beloved book, The Little Price, which he gave to her during their magical encounter, becomes her best companion and emotional anchor until. Eight years later, Sebastian appears again. Thrilled, Aurora hopes to reconnect with the beautiful and artistic prince she first met reading the pages of his book. But life has been pretty difficult for Sebastian as well. Due to some tragic circumstances, he seems greatly changed. Having adopted the manner and values of a budding businessman to please his overly ambitious father, Sebastian has buried his dreams and is only focused on maintaining his family's fortune. Immersed in a potential merger between his father's company and an Italian industrialist, Sebastian faces off with a mysterious American millionaire, MRS. COOPER, who tries to steal the deal from him. Once a silent era movie star, who has since made her fortune in oil, Mrs. Cooper also turns out to be Aurora's long estranged grandmother. Staying incognito at Irene's hotel, she tries to win her granddaughter's love and forgiveness. Unaware of that connection, Aurora ironically relies on the old lady's wisdom, trying to win Sebastian s love and hoping to change him back into the artistic spirit that he once was.

• Harold & Maude | DVD | (13/05/2002) from £8.99   |  Saving you £4.00 (44.49%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Black comedies don't come much blacker than cult favourite, Harold and Maude (1972), and they don't come much funnier either. It seems that director Hal Ashby was the perfect choice to mine a load of eccentricity from the original Colin Higgins script, about the unlikely romance between a death-obsessed 19-year-old named Harold (Bud Cort) and a life-loving 79-year-old widow named Maude (Ruth Gordon). They meet at a funeral, and Maude finds something oddly appealing about Harold, urging him to "reach out" and grab life by the lapels as opposed to dwelling morbidly on mortality. Harold grows fond of the old gal--she's a lot more fun than the girls his mother desperately tries to match him up with- -and together they make Harold and Maude one of the sweetest and most unconventional love stories ever made. Much of the early humour arises from Harold' s outrageous suicide fantasies, played out as a kind of twisted parlour game to mortify his mother, who has grown immune to her strange son's antics. Gradually, however, the film's clever humour shifts to a brighter outlook and finally arrives at a point where Harold is truly happy to be alive. Featuring soundtrack songs by Cat Stevens, this comedy certainly won't appeal to all tastes (it was a box-office flop when first released), but if you're on its quirky wavelength, it might just strike you as one of the funniest films you've ever seen. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
