War Games (1983): A well written screenplay with a touch of comedy and plenty of satire.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Hoosiers (1986): Another splendid performance from Gene Hackman. The early screenplay depicts small town insularity very well. The opening scenes of Gene driving along rural roads trying to find the school are the best.
Prince and the Pauper, The (2000): A decent enough adaptation of a timeless story.
Slipper and the Rose, The (1975): Although not strong musically Michael Hordern and Edith Evans are in form and make it worth a watch.
Wrong Arm of the Law, The (1962): The supporting cast headed by the wonderful Lionel Jeffries are the icing on the cake. The comedic writing is excellent.
Angels in New York (2009): It had varying levels of interest.
Price Check (2012): It doesn't work too well – maybe Parker was a little too strong for the rest of the cast.
Love and a 45 (1994): It has little to recommend it and it has little that hasn't been done before.rn
Purple Rose of Cairo (1985): A good plot idea and production values. Mia spoke with a whine – I wonder where she got that from?
Flesh and Blood (1985): Unfortunately, it has an unnecessary and prolonged rape scene and therefore loses a *.
