Our Favourite Reviews To Date:
My favourite film is Planet
Of The Apes. A science
fiction classic starring
Charlton Heston in the lead
role. The costumes and
effects of Planet Of The
Apes stand up fantastically
against the films of today,
despite its release in 1968.
The film creates such a
convincing representation of
what life on another planet
could be like, inhabited by
a civilised ape society and,
of course, the twist at the
film’s end is pure cinematic
gold! This is a timeless
film.
Del
My favourite film to date
is Double Indemnity. This is
one of the rare times when
the movie was far better
than the book. That's not a
shock after you find out
that literary giant Raymond
Chandler and Hall Of Fame
director Billy Wilder
combined to write the
screenplay. MacMurray's
narration is fun to hear as
he tells the story in
flashback, from the
beginning by dictating into
an old Dictaphone to his
co-worker Robinson. The
latter is almost mesmerizing
in his performance, the way
he delivers his lines. He
can even make a speech about
something as boring as
insurance and still keep you
riveted to the screen.
Veerendra
Definitely The Lord of
the Rings trilogy. An epic
story that envelops you in
landscapes, special effects
and characters in such a way
that is as good as the
books. The film was created
50 years after, even when
everybody thought that it
was impossible. The best
film of all time
Edgar
Disney's THE LION KING
(3D)
Simply put, it was my
three-year-old
grand-daughter's first ever
visit to the cinema!
She sat with me throughout
the whole film, wearing her
3D glasses, totally
spellbound and thrilled;
telling everybody since
about her experience.
Everyone knows that "Pumbaa's
nose came right out the
screen" as she quickly
ducked out of the way!
Stuart
My favourite Movie is
High Society. Love the songs
of Bing and Frank..Love the
look of Grace….Love the
extravagant lifestyle of
those that lived in
Newport…Love the Jazz of
Louis….Its just True Love
for me!
Helen
Favourite movie: Shall We
Dance
This is my favourite because
it teaches that we shouldn't
kill our desires. There can
be delay in fulfilling due
to other commitments in life
but we should always find
out way to achieve those
desires.
Naveet
My favourite film would
have to be Face Off 1997...
Really liked the solution, a
special operation doctor
that can cut off people's
faces, and can place a
person's face onto another
person. Archer undergoes one
of those surgeries to talk
to Pollux. However, Troy
somehow regains
consciousness and now wants
revenge on Archer for taking
his face!
Hayley
The Ultimate Gift would
be my favourite film to
date.
The movie shows the morality
of wealth the greed the
power to use wealth for good
or evil.But also shows that
wealth can be used as a
blessing to the owner and to
be used as a blessing to the
owners sphere of influence.
It shows that wealth used
properly does not have to
spoil people, the uncle in
Texas as an example. The
family of Drew are examples
of wealth used in error.
The movie contains drama,
humour, excitement, thrills,
sentiment but most of all
love.
Hugh
Favourite Film: Forbidden
Planet
Reason: Despite the limited
technology available at the
time for special effects and
some "cheesy acting", which
is part of the charm. The
concept and story hold the
imagination and make it a
memorable and watchable
movie. Also it has stood the
test of time as Robbie the
Robot is still a cult hero
today.
Brian
Favourite film - Harakiri
For many year Seven Samurai
was my favourite movie but
Masaki Kobayashi's Harakiri
has eclipsed that. An
apparently simple story with
a brutal beginning and a
magnificent understated
performance by Tatsuya
Nakadai. It keeps you
waiting a long time for the
inevitable one-against-many
swordfight at the end and
during most of that you
forget to breath! A
masterpiece.
Keith
My favourite movie to
date is Braveheart, The
reason why is so simple
because it is a true story
of a downtrodden people
standing up for their
rights, And not allowing a
bully to push them from
their homeland.
Peter
My favourite film to date
is Blind Side:
It reminds us how lucky we
are to have the things we
have, that there are less
fortunate people out there
that need help. It should
remind us to be kinder to
fellow man, to give a smile
it’s free, to love & cherish
those we have in our life.
If the world went back to
the old values it would be a
better place. Take time to
smell the roses, to listen,
to share, to care, give love
and be loved.
Angelique
My favourite film at
present is "The Christmas
Card" starring John Newton,
Alice Evans & Ed Asner. As
this is only available on
Region 1 & I had to purchase
from USA it is the reason I
registered on your site
Voted best film of 2007 it
is about a Christmas card
sent to a US soldier serving
in Afghanistan. The card
never leaves his side giving
him the strength to survive.
While on leave he tracks
down the sender but doesn't
let her know who he is. He
starts work for her family
who own a timber company in
Nevada City. She becomes
engaged to her long term
boyfriend who is wholly
unsuitable for her. Needless
to say the soldier falls in
love with her and all ends
happily ever after. I'm a
sucker for a good romance.
Linda
My all time favourite
film to date is "Gone with
the Wind". This choice, of
course, reflects the taste
of the "Grey Panthers" post
war generation (I am 75
years old) - I am positive
that today's young people
would choose totally
different productions (if
they ever heard of this one
anyway...)
Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable
gave an excellent, both
moving and thrilling
performance - and so did the
rest of the cast (just think
of Hattie McDaniel, Scarlett
O'Hara's Mammy!) "Gone with
the Wind" for me is an
overwhelming epos - at the
same time tender, cruel,
passionate and what else,
depicting both the personal
and the all over tragedy of
the American Civil War. This
film resembles a great,
colourful painting leaving
the viewer then in awe, then
breathless, then sad, then
almost at a loss when the
film ends - one of the rare
"no happy end" productions
anyway!
