Nigel Hawthorne

Billy Graham Presents: The Hiding Place

Julie Harris, Jeannette Clift

20th Century Fox, 2006

Human Spirit is strong
Out of all the recommended christian programing this is one of the best. It was well acted and not phony like most christian shows. This did not have graphic violence. I highly recommend this program for all viewers not just christians.

Tarzan (Special Edition)

Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2005

2 Disc Collector's Edition
Somewhere in 2000, Disney quietly launched a special 2 disc collector's edition of "Tarzan" the same year as its paltry one disc edition. For some reason it advertised the one disc version heavily, which is a shame because the collector's edition is a gem not to be ...

Amistad

Morgan Freeman, Nigel Hawthorne

Dreamworks Video, 1999

Educational and Entertaining!
The film brings to the screen the 1839 Amistad incident when a slave ship experiencing a rebellion was seized by the U.S. Navy and towed into an American port. Subsequently, a trial will commence with the Cuban slavers, the Spanish government, and U.S. naval officers ...

Madeline

Frances McDormand, Nigel Hawthorne

Sony Pictures, 1998

Great Fun
My Grandaughter thought this was wonderful. We watched six times. She liked the fact that it was a real little girl and would like more Madelines just like this one

The Black Cauldron (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Grant Bardsley, Susan Sheridan

Walt Disney Video, 2000

Disney Classic not necessarily for kids
I originally saw this in theaters as a kid and hadn't really seen it since, except once in a great while in the last several years. At the time I didn't realize it was based on a series of books, but its still a good movie. However I must point out that it is not for ...

Twelfth Night

Imogen Stubbs, Steven Mackintosh

Image Entertainment, 2005

Toby Stephens fan
I have recently discovered the talent of Toby Stephens after seeing Jane Eyre. I wanted to see some of his early work and discovered this Shakespeare comedy. This was a very entertaining movie not to mention the other cast members of Ben Kingsley, Helena Bonham ...

The Winslow Boy

Matthew Pidgeon, Rebecca Pidgeon

Sony Pictures, 2000

a subtly sexy family film!
Rebecca Pidgeon and Jeremy Northam's fine performances fuel the supremely sexy subtext of a film that at first glance tackles the topic of honor and truth. Equally fascinating is David Mamet's (I repeat: David Mamet's!)profound exegesis of a topic rarely explored by ...

Demolition Man

Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes

Warner Home Video, 1997

Popcorn action/sci-fi
There is normally a glut of action oriented science fiction movies that come out each summer and it's hard to pick out the good ones from the bad ones. At times I can be as eager as the next guy to just have a fun popcorn movie that doesn't rely on any deep ...

Richard III

Ian McKellen, Annette Bening

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A Chilling Version Of A Shakespeare Classic
When it comes to updates of the Shakespeare plays , Richard III is probably the best of the lot. While it might seem like an unusual concept to take the classic play of deceit, betrayal, seduction, and cold-blooded murder out of the 1400's and into an alternate history ...

Watership Down (Deluxe Edition)

John Hurt, Richard Briers

Warner Home Video, 2008

Been waiting for years for the new release!!!!
I am so happy to finally get this wonderful story on DVD!!! I read the novel many years ago, and saw the film for the first time in 2001. I must admit to being in my 30's, and this is still one of my all time favorites!!!

Victoria & Albert

Victoria Hamilton, Jonathan Firth

A&E Home Video, 2001

Fairy tale Love Story you want to believe.
Might not be historically accurate, but worth while watching. Brilliant performance on both Victoria Hamilton and Jonathan Firth.

Edward & Mrs. Simpson

Edward Fox, Cynthia Harris

A&E Home Video, 2005

excellent
I have watched it twenty times and will watch it again and again. Great quality actors. Mrs Simpson character is wonderful. Her outfits and her voice are mesmerizing.

Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister 2-Pak

Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne

BBC Warner, 2003

Compulsory viewing !!!
As we are living now ( 2008 ) in a very sorry s(h)ituation worldwide - moneywise and politically - these series should be viewed at highschool level in all classes. Not only for the way they show us how real politics are conducted worldwide but also for improving ...

The Madness of King George

Nigel Hawthorne, Helen Mirren

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A mad, brilliant film
"You do me wrong to take me out o' the grave: Thou art a soul in bliss; but I am bound Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears Do scald like moulten lead." ~ King Lear, Act 4, Scene 7 The words of Shakespeare's Lear, when murmured by Nigel Hawthorne in his ...

Yes Minister - The Complete Collection

Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne

BBC Video, 2003

Each episode gets better as you view it again and again
I have always been a big fan of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. The incredible thing is that when I had originally watched the series, I used to root for Hacker but later found myself taking some amount of sadistic glee over the manner in which Sir Humphrey gets ...
