A three-and-a-half hour epic about a strange, masochistic, messianic, probably gay, possibly mentally disturbed British military officer having an identity crisis while going native & riding a camel back and forth in the ...             Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure Jerry Hoffman (II), Doug Kisgen Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2008 Sea Monsters vs Chased by Sea Monsters Definitely the best-to-date film on prehistoric sea-life I've seen. It follows the story of a little-known but rather cute creature called Dolichorhynchops (a.k.a. Doli) and the creatures she encounters in the then submerged center of America. While its graphics don't ...             Land of the Pharaohs Jack Hawkins, Joan Collins Warner Home Video, 2007 Land of the Pharaohs I've always loved this movie...I think the dvd is fine quality...the movie is a little campy and the acting a little corny but well worth it...             The Cruel Sea Jack Hawkins, Donald Sinden Starz / Anchor Bay, 2006 Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . The unrelenting echo of the sonar punctuates this understated J. Arthur Rank film with a taut atmosphere of suspense.

Everything is done superbly. Great story, outstanding acting, fantastic picture made with 65mm cameras, masterful music score. It is hard to find anything bad about this movie. ...             Nicholas and Alexandra Michael Jayston, Janet Suzman Sony Pictures, 1999 He ate all my sturgeon, clever man... This film on Russian history is everything Zhivago is not - it's good. Though it takes the Lean-esque line of poetic cuts to meld the story together, it does it in a far subtler, less "here's another clever cut for you audience" fashion. Young's cinematography dwarfs ...             The Small Back Room David Farrar, Kathleen Byron Criterion Collection, 2008 Offbeat gem Far from being an indicator of the decline of the creative genius of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, The Small Back Room harkens back to the pair's earlier black-and-white period and is an offbeat gem. David Farrar shines as Sammy Rice, a bitter yet sensitive ...             Zulu Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins MGM (Video & DVD), 2003 Stunning - every time you see it I still remember the first time I saw this film and sat riveted to the TV. Everytime I see it again I think I'll be watching it for some favorite scenes, only to be - yep - still riveted to the TV. There are so many good actors in good roles with well-written scenes, ...             Mighty Aphrodite F. Murray Abraham, Claire Bloom Miramax, 1999 "Of all human weaknesses, obsession is the most dangerous, and the silliest!" "Mighty Aphrodite" (1995), Woody Allen's hilarious yet moving and surprisingly optimistic film can be viewed as a modern retelling of the ancient tragedy "Oedipus". Like Oedipus in Sophocles's play who became obsessed with discovering identity of his real parents which ...             School of Rock (Full Screen Edition) Jack Black, Adam Pascal Paramount, 2004 Recommended for Any Rock Music Fans!

I'd never even heard of it before but I was amazed to find that it's a superlative film.
