Vanities

Vanity Fair (A&E, 1998)

Danielle Hawley, Paul Brightwell

A&E Home Video, 2003

The last word on Thackeray's satirical masterpiece
If you are considering a dramatic rendition of Vanity Fair, this BBC production is definitely the most superior. Becky Sharpe is played by Natasha Little and it is a wonder this actor has not been seen much since: She is magnificent in this role - manipulative, ...

Vanity Fair (2004) (Widescreen)

Gabriel Byrne, Angelica Mandy

Universal Studios, 2005

Go Reese!
Yes, they do make Becky too nice, but otherwise the movie's great! Lyrics from Tennyson's "Maud" anachronistic but very pretty!

The Big Tease

Isabella Aitken, Drew Carey

Warner Home Video, 2000

Craig Ferguson as Crawford Mackenzie -- Fantastic

The Last Dragon

Taimak, Vanity

Sony Pictures, 2001

Classic!
This is hands down, one of the best urban-type movies from the 1980's!! So much so that my brothers, cousins, friends and I still find ourselves making references to various scenes 'til this day. It was like we really lived this movie during our childhood, not to ...

The Bonfire of the Vanities

Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis

Warner Home Video, 2004

The truth shall set you free, and if it doesn't,... LIE LIKE HELL!
I saw this film in the theaters as a teenager having not read or even heard of the book. I really enjoyed it because of the actors, the characters and their backstories. I just love satire. I hadn't even heard of Reverand Al. Now, this movie still amuses me, but on ...

Another British winner
Typical British quality of film production. Excellent acting, cinematography, writing, directing with beautiful sets and locations. Each film is a total delight. The only negative is that only some of these films have Closed Captions for the hearing impaired. This ...

Warner Home Video, 2006

Bang Bang for your buck
Three some what underrated over the top actioners from the glorly days of macho bulls***, I loved these flicks when I was a kid, and the kid in me still does. These aren't your waterdown PG-13, PC, wimpy sappy crappy crud like today. These ones come from back in the ...
