![VHS : Sleeping Beauty [Disney 1959]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RC9F90M6L._SL160_.jpg) |
|
| This is my favourite Disney movie. The backgrounds are detailed and stylised like a series of medieval tapestries. The intergration of the characters in what look like the best sets ever designed for a semi-swashbuckling musical/comedy/thriller is stunning.
I still get frightened when the fire goes out and Maleficent appears to tempt Aurora through the back of the fireplace (Maleficent being a truly evil villainess). The score is superbly used in these scenes. Brilliant stuff. |

| Gimmicky, disjionted, over reliant on this new gadgetry which was suddenly very appealing to a fast growing consumerist society, it has far less of the essence of James Bond as in the Flemming novels than previous Bond movies. It has things in it that make it memorable, but its biggest fault was to take us down the 'wealthy mad man with a fiendish weapon of mass destruction tucked away in a holed out volcano, with a couple of hundred uniformed henchmen-cum-mercenaries happily working for him' storyline, the ...

|
| The title says it all, I think and the reviewer who considers it classist and misogynist has obviously failed to see the point of the movie which actually makes fun of these attitudes. Remember the scene at Mrs. Higgin's house or Alfred P. Doolite's remarks on 'middle-class morality' - hardly narrow-minded. |

|
| Carry On Nurse saw the series hit the jackpot with this proving an enormous box office suucess in the U.S.A where it ran in some cinemas for an astounding 2 and a half years! Whilst some firmly regard this as one of the best of the entire series, it has to be said that this film has nothing on some of the later medical entries such as Doctor (1967) (even though that was a virtually an updated remake of Nurse), Again Doctor (1969) and Matron (71). The film develops at a leisurley pace and has no real back bone of a plot. Hattie ... Read More: |

|
| I have watched this film many, many times over the years and it's still as great as the first time I watched it. A superstar cast brings with it quality acting and a superb script. Don't think I've ever watched it without crying, so if you're a Steel Magnolias virgin, or coming back to it for a repeat viewing - be sure to have the tissues at the ready....
It also has one of my all-time favourite quotes, which is something I live by... "I'd rather have one moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special" - simply ... Read More: |

| It was a pleasure to see and hear Shirley Jones singing again. I bought the movie (on DVD) just to hear "Till There Was You".
I remembered Paul of "The Beatles" singing it in about 1962 at a show in Bournemouth earlier on in their career (the late great Billy Fury was also appearing at the same holiday resort). I imagine it was the kind of song that Paul would have liked to have composed. Shirley Jones was a very capable singer in the two 50's movies associated with her "Oklahoma" and "Carousel" and at ...

Barnacle is a young sweep but falls down the wrong chimmney and straight into a mysterious conspiracy.He takes fright and escapes but not before stealing some valuable belongings...... Perfect for settling down in front of the telly en masse,on a Sunday afternoon-I highly recommend this. |

|
| When Carry On Sergeant hit cinemas in 1958 nobody could have predicted how long the series was actually going to run. The very first Carry On film saw Peter Rogers as the producer and Gerald Thomas as the director (together they made all 31 Carry on films). A low budget farce, the film doesn't entireley encapsulate the feel of a typical Carry On film though gave mere hints of what was to come over the next 20 odd years. An army based comedy where strict, no-nonsense drill sergeant, William Hartnell (who was not a bit unlike his ferocious character in ... Read More: |
