Patrick Troughton

Laurence Olivier, Peter Cushing

Criterion, 2000

The greatest Hamlet
Laurence Olivier's Hamlet is the one which, as I child, I watched and it instilled my love of the play and Shakespeare in general. It is the best of all the Hamlet movies because Olivier is simply the best. No one can speak 'To be or not to be' quite like him. A ...

Jason and the Argonauts

Todd Armstrong, Nancy Kovack

Sony Pictures, 1998

A legendary adventure of monsters and mythology......
Before movies used CGI to bring fantasy to life, there was a brilliant, and painstaking medium called "Stop-Motion-Animation", where clay figures were posed and reposed ONE camera frame at a time, bringing life to an endless array of creatures and monsters, and Ray ...

The Omen [Blu-ray]

Gregory Peck, David Warner

20th Century Fox, 2008

Classic Horror
The Omen is remastered in this DVD 2 disc set and looks fabulous. DVD extra features gives the backstory to the "curse" of The Omen during filming. One particular documentary covers the entire series. I loved it and am very happy to have this in my horror/thriller ...

Doctor Who - The Three Doctors

Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton

BBC Warner, 2004

"Don't you see? I'm just a temporal anamoly..."
If one get past the antimatter blunder in the plot and the limit the budget had on Omaga's gell creatures, then one should highly enjoy this 10th anniversary tale. The regulars look like they're having loads of fun. Troughton and Pertwee's dialogue and performances ...

Doctor Who - The Tomb of the Cybermen

Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines

BBC Warner, 2002

When I say "run"... oh, you know the rest
One of the great tragedies of "Doctor Who" is the dearth of Second Doctor episodes caused by the BBC purging their archives back in the 1970's. The Second Doctor was clearly one of the best. His "comsic tramp" persona masking a cunning individual who was always willing ...

Scars of Dracula

Christopher Lee, Dennis Waterman

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

GET YOUR DRACULA FIX WITH THIS SHOT IN THE NECK
LOTS OF FUN TO VIEW THIS ENJOYABLE FILM. GOOD STORY PLOT, GOOD CHARACTERS, NOT AS PREDICTABLE A PLOT AS ONE WOULD EXPECT. LEE IS MUCH BETTER HERE THAN ON SOME OTHER HAMMER DRAC FILMS. THE FAKE VAMPIRE BAT, WITH THAT HIGH PITCHED SQUEELING AND SQEAKING SOUNDS AND ...

The Sinbad Collection (7th Voyage / Golden Voyage / Eye of the Tiger)

Patrick Wayne, Taryn Power

Sony Pictures, 2000

Nice Sinbad dvd's... but--->
The Sinbad Collection: "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad", is the best of the 3, even though some 'cropping' and editing was done to certain scenes. "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" is a close second with very good special effects (the fight with Kali was quite good). "Sinbad and ...

Doctor Who - The Five Doctors (25th Anniversary Edition)

Peter Davison, Richard Hurndall

BBC Warner, 2008

A great special...we used to call it DOCTOR WHO meets DUNGEONS & DRAGONS!
I love this special....and I am torn whether or not I want to buy it again, while I struggle to replace all the DW I lost to Katrina ( I was converting to DVD anyway), but don't I already own this one on DVD...if this were Blue-Ray, I'd atleast be able to justify ...

Doctor Who - Lost in Time Collection of Rare Episodes - The William Hartnell Years and the Patrick Troughton ...

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton

BBC Warner, 2004

For the fans
It should be known that this set is really only for fans of doctor who. There are many lost episodes from the early years, during the tenure of the first two doctors. This set includes all the surviving episodes, along with surviving clips, but there are not any ...

The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Keith Michell, Anthony Quayle

BBC Warner, 2006

Engrossing History
From start to finish, the story of Henry VII is played out so well that you can't wait to see the next episode. Engrossing, historically accurate, and portrayed by the finest of English actors.I have rarely been so engrossed in a series.I am not going into each episode ...

Doctor Who - Timelash (Episode 142)

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton

BBC Warner, 2008

One of the most disliked stories in Doctor Who history
I've never found this one as bad as some have made it out to be. NO, it isn't the best but it isn't the worst either. This is one of those stories that, if you keep a sense of humor, you may actually enjoy it. I've always thought that Colin Baker was a great Doctor but ...

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger

Leonard Nimoy, Charles H. Schneer

Sony Pictures, 2000

Suspend everything
Especially any inclination to find fault. If you're going to start complaining about anything at all in this movie, you're not going to get far. It is brilliant, and edge-of-your-seat exciting. The acting is fantastic, particularly by the minotaurathon, and the use of ...

Doctor Who - The Seeds of Death - Episode 48

Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines

BBC Warner, 2004

Troughton Rules Supreme!
Troughton rules. The Ice Warriors rule. Zoe in a catsuit rules. The Restoration Team rules. 'nuff said. If you don't have this gem in your Who collection, you're nutso!!

Doctor Who - The Two Doctors (Episode 141)

Colin Baker, Patrick Troughton

BBC Warner, 2004

Irresistible
I could probably write a novel about my tribute to "The Two Doctors" but I'll do my best to keep it short. My favourite two doctors from the classic series (and indeed, overall) are Patrick Troughton and Colin Baker. So it doesn't take a genius to work out that this ...
