Barnum [1988]

starring: Michael Crawford
directed by: Peter Coe, Terry Hughes

Release Date
I love this show. The setting, the way the cast step out of the show to involve the audience in their discussions. You can't help singing along, and within all that, the subtle work (watch out for his wife's departure).
Interestingly, the "mistakes" were identical to the one's that happened when I saw it live. Planned buffoonery.

Don't miss this version.

Hello Dolly [1969]

starring: Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Marianne McAndrew, Danny Lockin
directed by: Gene Kelly

Release Date March 13, 2000
I have a good friend who despairs at my love of Barbra movies but he fell in love with this movie on it's first viewing and it isn't hard to see the charm in this feel-good musical. Barbra shines as Dolly Levi who takes it upon herself to sort out everyone's love life while bagging the well know half-a-millionaire horace Vandergelder, played fantastically by Walter Matthau. This film is truly feel good, nothing bad happens at all though it teeters on the brink. The first time I saw it I was waiting for Dolly's tales of how well known she is to fall apart and yet they never do. When she appears in that gorgeous dress as the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant and launches into the title song the tears spring to my eyes. That is one thing that makes this ... Read More:

Reach For The Sky [1956]

starring: Kenneth More, Muriel Pavlow, Lyndon Brook, Lee Patterson, Alexander Knox
directed by: Lewis Gilbert

Release Date January 26, 2000
Kenneth More at his best - what a superb performance from a superb actor.

More stars as Douglas Bader the fighter pilot from the war era who after an accident loses both his legs. His sheer determination wins him his wings back and the respect of his men, many who are years younger than himself. His subsequent imprisonment on foriegn shores and his escapes, determine Bader as one of the greatest heroes of WWII.

A great feast for the eyes with some spectacular ariel shots.

starring: Alec Guinness, Joan Greenwood, Cecil Parker, Michael Gough, Ernest Thesiger
directed by: Alexander Mackendrick

Release Date July 06, 1998
"The Man in the White Suit" is a whimsical and at times surreal tale about an unorthodox , yet persistent, scientist who invents a type of cloth which never wears out and never gets dirty. While this invention provides an apparent short term market advantage for his employer , it soon becomes clear that it's implications appear to be destructive to the future of the whole textile industry. Alec Guinness's heroic inventor soon becomes a hate figure for factory employers and employees alike, much to his bewilderment, and both sides of industry frantically endeavour to suppress the new technology he created . The main theme of the film is science ,and the liberating effect of new technology, versus entrenched interests fearful of the financial consequences to them of it's ... Read More:

Upworld [1990]

starring: Anthony Michael Hall, Jerry Orbach, Claudia Christian, Eli Danker, Mark Harelik
directed by: Stan Winston

Release Date October 07, 1991
I watched upworld a few years ago, found it was a brilliant film, loved it so much leant it to a friend on a girls night out, lost it. spent a couple of years trying to track it since, now I have a son, whom would also love the film, so will get it for him. Found the scenes fantastic, specially where the puppet is trying to describe the culprit, "no eyes" its amazing how such a strange answer could give away so much information. One of the best films I have seen so far, it will take a lot more to beat it. Well acted and excellent story.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum [1966]

starring: Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, Michael Crawford, Jack Gilford
directed by: Richard Lester

Release Date August 06, 2001
Worth watching for Zero Mostel alone. Great gags as usual from Phil Silvers and Jack Gilford too. One song a bit corny but still very good film. Don't be put off by the Micheal Crawford, he doesn't play a Frank Spencer - apart from the stunts.
