He's a pal of Andie's and he's got an intense unrequited crush on her. The there's Blane McDonough a cute rich preppie. He and Andie come from opposite sides of the tracks. So when they fall in love the differences between them (he drives a BMW and she's ashamed of where she lives) bring barriers to their romance. Some Kind of Wonderful: Think everyone over 17 has forgotten what it's like to be 16? Filmmaker John Hughes hasn't. Here Hughes delivers another funny savvy crowd-pleasing look at adolesence in this story about high-school misfit Eric Stoltz who falls so head-over-heels for the senior class siren that he's blind to the charms of his beautiful and devoted best pal Mary Stuart Masterson. Some fun some heartache 'Some Kind Of Wonder Terms Of Endearment: This Oscar-winning film is both eccentrically funny and an old-fashioned tearjerker. The story centers around the volatile relationship between a mother and daughter spanning 30 years. The various permutations of their lives are examined including the daughter's bout with terminal cancer.

  • The Outlaw [1943]The Outlaw | DVD | (21/04/2003) from £4.93   |  Saving you £-0.94 (N/A%)   |  RRP £3.99

    Howard Hughes with the assistance of Howard Hawks directed this racy version of the Pat Garrett vs Billy The Kid story. The publicity campaign surrounding the film's release was a masterpiece. Armed with stills of 19-year-old Jane Russell revealing a remarkable dcolletage (while stopping to pick up a pair of milk pails!) producer/director Howard Hughes spent tens of thousands of dollars purposely to agitate the censors and arouse public indignation. He released the film independently in San Francisco in 1943 after United Artists refused to distribute it; it was quickly closed down by civic groups. Meanwhile legendary publicist Russell Birdwell leased thousands of billboards from coast to coast for three years plastering a suggestive photo of the scantily clad Russell reclining on a bed of hay gun in hand. By 1946 when Hughes finally re-released the film audiences flocked to theatres: Jane Russell was now a Hollywood star and you can see why!

    The Outlaw is a fascinating Western with a determindly off-beat story about Doc Holliday Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid coming to conflict over Holliday's stolen horse and the voluptuous halfbreed played by Jane Russell. The script is often disarmingly tongue in cheek and there is a weird eroticism to the film.
