"Fantastic portrayal by the BBC about the alleged traitors of Britain - Burgess, McLean, Blunt and Philby. Particularly good is Toby Stephens - someone to keep an eye out for."
"Absorbing yet sometimes over-sentimental BBC/HBO adaptation of the life and times of Winston Churchill from c.1936 till the outbreak of war. Ever impressive Vanessa Redgrave is just one of the stars."
"Nicely done spy-thriller starring Brad Pitt and Robert Reford. One of a very few modern 'hollywood' films that I have actually enjoyed so much I had to buy the DVD."
"What can I say about this truly remarkable film? Well, not that much that hasn't been said before. Story about the British Raj and, in particular a Miss Quested, a Dr. Aziz and the lovely 'Mrs Moore'"
"One of the finest war movies of all time and winner of countless Academy Awards. Stars Alec Guinness and Jack Hawkins and the DVD 2 Disc edition includes masses of special extras. Director: David Lean"
"Polanski at his finest - an honest, remarkable film about Polish Jews in Nazi-Occupied Warsaw. Adrian Brody is superb but keep an eye out for the ever impressive Maureen Lipman."
"Supposedly an 'Agatha Christie' type film but really nothing like it. Just the same time period as most of Mrs. Christie's books and, oh, it has a murder in it. Dame Maggie Smith steals the film."
"Good subject matter - the story of Bletchley Park where Allied forces decoded the Enigma machine in WW2. Nice film for a rainy day. Stars Kate Winslet"
"My childhood favourite - sees Marty travel from 1985 to 1955, back to 1985 and then onto 2015. Oh, then back to 1985, back to 1955, back to 1885 and finally to 1985. Get it? You will. Excellent stuff."
"Story of a Barnsley boy, Billy, who, well, just doesn't fit in. That is until he meets Kes - his kestrel. Almost faithful adaptation of Barry Hines's 'Kestrel for a Knave'."
"There is one British director whose films just personify the ordinary man - Mike Leigh. Secrets and Lies is one of those films that grip you from the start. Brenda Blethyn and Timothy Spall star."
"Saw this one the off-chance on BBC Two one night and was gripped immediately. The story? A photo library is being closed down. Honest to Goodness, this is fantastic. Shame it's not on DVD though."
"By same director as 'Shooting the Past', this tale tells us about an old fashioned family reunion and the things we can get from it. Same style as Shooting.. and as impressive. Shame it's not on DVD."
"Again, by Stephen Poliakoff and again for the BBC. Tale of 'Prince Johnny' - youngest son of George V and Queen Mary who died very young. McKee and Richardson steal show but mention to Tom Hollander"
