• The Grapes Of Wrath - Book & DVD | DVD | (08/08/2005) from £27.99   |  Saving you £-12.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  John Ford's memorable screen version of John Steinbeck's epic novel of the Great Depression--often regarded as the director's best film--stars Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. After having served a brief prison sentence for manslaughter Joad arrives at his family's Oklahoma farm only to find it abandoned. Muley (John Qualen) a neighbor now nearly mad with grief tells Tom of the drought that has transformed the farmland of Oklahoma into a desert and of the preying land agents who have plowed under the shacks of the sharecroppers. Joined by former hellfire preacher Casy (John Carradine) Tom finds his extended family including Pa (Charles Grapewin) and his indomitable Ma (Jane Darwell) packing their ramshackle truck to seek work in the fields of California. As the family treks across the country their dissolution begins with the deaths of Tom's grandparents at close intervals. When they arrive in California the Joads find only an abundance of poverty-stricken migrants like themselves and little in the way of potential work. Yet ever resilient they maintain their dignity hoping for the best. Among the talented cast Fonda does perhaps the best work of his career as does Qualen in the film's most haunting sequence. Director of photography Gregg Toland captures the suffering and the weathered luminous nobility of the Joads and the other uprooted drifting families creating striking images equal to the best work of Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. In a stirring film that stands as a microcosm of the depression experience of millions Ford gives poverty a human face in a way that was rare then and even rarer in the decades to follow as Hollywood films with a sense of class consciousness dwindled like a species nearing extinction.

• Plan 9 From Outer Space | DVD | (23/02/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  This is it! The most phenomenally popular cult classic ever the double Golden Turkey award winner: Worst Picture and Worst Director in the entire history of motion pictures. Immortalised in celluloid by the celebrated writer producer and director Edward D. Wood Jr. It's all here the infamous not-so-special effects as aliens in car-hop outfits invade Earth in paper flying saucers to implement the ninth plan of conquest (the first eight failed.) An army of zombies (well three actually) Vampira Tor Johnson and the legendary Bela Lugosi in his after death performance menace the world (Lugosi died five months after filming started so a local chiropractor took on the difficult Lugosi role). This truly original movie Ed Wood's 'Citizen Kane' is a hymn to all those who have ever tried to create something memorable and meaningful and failed miserably every step of the way.

• Le Viol Du Vampire (The Rape of the Vampire) | DVD | (10/12/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Cult director Jean Rollin's first feature mixes existentialism and vampirism with the added ingredient of chaos. Originally made as a short it was expanded to a feature length with the dead cast inexplicably returning to life half-way through (having been killed off at the end of the original). That said 'Le Viol du Vampire' is a masterpiece of the bizarre mixing blood a naked woman in a convertable coffins and some fencing semi-naked nymphs in a fragmented melee. When originally screened in Paris in 1968 the film caused a riot due to its' audacious imagery...
