There are a lot of good courtroom dramas, ones which manage to get you gripped by the powerful legal battles along with an element of intrigue as to what will happen. But "Anatomy of a Murder" starring James Stewart is not ju...

The Hanging Tree (1959)

107 mins     Drama, Romance, Western      

I watched "The Hanging Tree" for the first time around 2010 and have watched it a couple of times since. Strangely I don't think that "The Hanging Tree" is a great western or at least not a great western for those just lookin...

The Hustler (1961)

134 mins     Drama, Sport      

Starring Paul Newman and Piper Laurie "The Hustler" for some is a great movie about the game of pool. For me it is a great movie about a character, his flaws and his demons which stop him from being as great as he can be. Yes...

The List of Adrian Messenger (1963)

98 mins     Mystery      

"The List of Adrian Messenger" is a mischievous movie thanks to the smart use of some big stars or at least that was when it came out. I say that because here is a movie with acting legends such as Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster...

Patton (1970)

172 mins     Biography, Drama, War      

I doubt there are many people who call themselves film fans who don't recognize the image of George C. Scott standing in front of the Stars & Stripes as General George S. Patton. But I wonder how many of those who recognize t...

They Might Be Giants (1971)

The Hindenburg (1975)

125 mins     Adventure , Disaster, Drama      

Watching "The Hindenburg" now 25 years after it was released you could say it was the "Titanic" of the 70s. Here we have a movie which takes the true story of The Hindenburg airship which on the 6th of May 1937 burst into fla...

The Prince and the Pauper (1977)

113 mins     Adventure , Family      

I have a vague collection of watching "The Prince and the Pauper", also known as "Crossed Swords", as a child and enjoying it especially the various fight scenes. Oh how my opinion has changed having now watched it as an adul...

A Christmas Carol (1984)

100 mins     Comedy, Drama, Family, Fantasy, TV Movie      

So here I am finding myself watching yet another adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and one of the most popular versions, in fact for many the best version which is held in even higher esteem than the great 19...

Malice (1993)

107 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller      

The strength of "Malice" is that it starts of as one thing, a thriller surrounding a serial killer doing the rounds on a college campus and then turns into something completely different. But it's clever in doing so as it suc...

Angus (1995)

90 mins     Comedy, Drama      

The first thing which probably grabs your attention even before you watch "Angus" is the stars, here we have a movie which features grown up stars Kathy Bates, George C. Scott and Anna Levine but then you have young stars Jam...
