  Titles Comprise: Once Upon A Time In America: They grew up in the violent immigrant ghetto of New York's Lower East Side: Max and Noodles Cockeye and Patsy Deborah and Fat Moe. They grew up on the streets and they grew up fast. Fighting their way to the top of the heap they took a vow to stick together but that's not how things worked out. Leone's commanding epic traces the destinies of four men from childhood on the streets through their violent rise to power and maturity during Prohibition as fully fledged hoods. De Niro is magnificent as Noodles Aaronson one of the four forced by murder and betrayal to flee New York in 1933. When he is mysteriously summoned back in 1968 he discovers that the tragic and bloody events surrounding his betrayal are not as they once seemed... Once Upon A Time In America is director Sergio Leone's astonishing gangster melodrama an epic exploration of the dark side of the American dream. Ten years in the planning Leone's film is the work of a master storyteller - grandly conceived rich in detail and thrilling in the depth and originality of its vision. Heat: When Al Pacino and Robert De Niro square off Heat sizzles. Written and Directed by Michael Mann Heat includes dazzling set pieces and a bank heist that USA Today's Mike Clark calls the greatest action scene of recent times. It also offers the most impressive collection of actors in one movie this year (Newsweek). Val Kilmer Jon Voight Tom Sizemore and Ashley Judd are among the memorable supporting players in this tale of a brilliant LA cop (Pacino) following the trail from a deadly armed robbery to a crew headed by an equally brilliant master thief (De Niro). Heat goes way beyond the expectations of the cops-and-criminals genre - and into the realm of movie masterpieces. Goodfellas: Based on the true life best seller 'Wiseguy' by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack was named 1990's best film by the New York Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. And it earned six Academy Award Nominations. Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy The Gent Conway. And as the volatile Tommy DeVito Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar Academy Award nominee Lorraine Bracco Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino also turned in electrifying performances. You have to see it to believe it. The Mission: The Mission: Set in the quasi-mystical rain forests of South America 'The Mission' presents each man with his greatest challenge. The priest (Irons) has come to spread the word of God amongst the Guarani Indians; the mercenary (De Niro) has come to enslave them. With the passing of time their destinies become entwined...

  These three compelling dramas reveal the extraordinary and often turbulent off-camera lives of some of Britain's favourite comedians. Based on the testimonies of friends colleagues and family members these fascinating portrayals uncover the turmoil and heartache found behind the laughter. Frankie Howerd Rather You Than Me: Frankie Howerd is to this day an enduring and celebrated icon of British comedy well known for his camp persona and classic catchphrases. However behind the scenes Howerd was racked with depression and self loathing. In this compelling one-off drama David Walliams (Little Britain) gets to play one of his own comedy favourites telling the moving humorous and poignant story of Howerd's fight with his inner demons. The Curse Of Steptoe: Steptoe and Son was one of the most successful comedy series ever giving birth to the modern sitcom and transforming its actors into national treasures. It told the story of two rag-and-bone men Harry H Corbett (played by Jason Isaacs) and Wilfrid Brambell (Phil Davis) trapped together for eternity. But off-screen a stranger story would mirror fiction as the two men find themselves unable to escape their inner complexities or each other. Hughie Green Most Sincerely: Starring Trevor Eve (Waking the Dead) this fascinating drama tells the inside story of Hughie Green the avuncular front man of Opportunity Knocks and Double Your Money. Hughie's professional rivalry with Stars On Sunday presenter Jess Yates (Mark Benton) and serial womanising ultimately produced an explosive celebrity secret. This drama tells of the destructive power of success and celebrity and explores what family and fatherhood meant to this iconic character. These three compelling dramas reveal the extraordinary and often turbulent off-camera lives of some of Britain's favourite comedians. Based on the testimonies of friends colleagues and family members these fascinating portrayals uncover the turmoil and heartache found behind the laughter.

• Starsky And Hutch - The Complete First Season | DVD | (15/03/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £34.99

  In the rough-and-tumble, wildly entertaining world of Starsky & Hutch, impatient cops--anxious to join a foot race in pursuit of a villain--throw themselves out of moving vehicles and roll to a bruising stop. Undercover detectives Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (David Soul), hardly imbued with the powers of Spider-Man, routinely scale walls, hop from rooftop to rooftop, and fling themselves down steep hillsides to stop bad guys from doing what bad guys do. Years later Hill Street Blues would redefine the cop genre as a mesh of overlapping storylines and workaday frustrations, but Aaron Spelling's iconic 70s show portrays LA's finest as madly heroic creatures of reckless determination and physicality. This first season is also startlingly brutal for a primetime US show—it was later significantly toned down, much to the regret of fans—while maintaining a delightful, often incongruous, self-deprecating humour. From the series pilot on, partners and best pals Starsky and Hutch work a fine line between predator and prey, relentlessly pursuing suspects while also snared by crime chieftains or short-sighted superiors. In "The Fix", Hutch's secret romance with the former girlfriend of a mafia boss (Robert Loggia) results in the lawman's kidnapping and forced addiction to heroin. Similarly, in "A Coffin for Starsky", a mad chemist injects the wisecracking cop with a slow-acting but lethal poison. "Jo-Jo", written by Michael Mann, finds our guys at loggerheads with federal officers over a dumb deal the G-Men make with a serial rapist. The 23 episodes in this set are all fun, if sometimes shocking, viewing. Expect each character to take as much abuse as he dishes out. Still, the comic sight of Starsky and Hutch (in "Death Notice") trying to conduct business amid busy strippers is well worth the surrounding violence. --Tom Keogh

• A Home At The End Of The World | DVD | (08/08/2005) from £9.13   |  Saving you £8.86 (97.04%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Colin Farrell and Robin Wright Penn star in this drama about two friends re-uniting in New York to create a new kind of family.

• Manhunter | DVD | (01/10/2001) from £6.38   |  Saving you £11.61 (181.97%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Released to box-office indifference in 1986, Manhunter introduced Hannibal Lecter and established the rules of the modern race to find serial killer thriller five years before The Silence of the Lambs packed cinemas everywhere. This was Michael Mann's third feature, reuniting William L Petersen and Dennis Farina from his debut Thief (1981) as FBI agents hunting the killer dubbed "The Tooth Fairy". Petersen's Will Graham is the man who put Lecktor (as it is spelt here) behind bars, and as in Lambs consults with the Doctor, played with understated malevolence by Brian Cox. Manhunter is an exceptionally well-photographed film: Mann's regular cinematographer Dante Spinotti created sparse, elegantly framed, often mono-chromatically lit compositions which are essential to the shifting psychological moods. The performances are very good, and the typically 1980s, Vangelis-esque electronic score effectively sustains tension. Once the killer is introduced the scenes with Joan Allen have a genuinely unsettling, almost surreal quality. There is at least one serious plot flaw--how does "The Red Dragon" get his letter to Lecktor? Manhunter never packs the sheer excitement of Lambs, nevertheless, it is a powerful and compelling thriller which remains far superior to the third instalment in the series, Hannibal (2001). On the DVD: In addition to the trailer there is a revealing 10-minute conversation with Dante Spinotti in which he explains how he created the very distinctive look of Manhunter. Also included is a more general 17-minute retrospective "making-of" documentary. This is good but too short, the extras failing to live up to the wealth of material on the Lambs and Hannibal DVDs. The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 image is generally very good, being just a little soft in one or two early scenes. The sound is listed as Dolby Digital 5.1, but appears to replicate the main stereo signal in the rear channels. Audio is none the less powerful and clear, though lacks the sheer edge and atmospherics of some more recent thrillers. --Gary S Dalkin
