Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: O8/19/2OO3 Starring: Keith Carradine Albert Finney Run time: 95 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Ridley Scott essential video:First film by director Ridley Scott barely got released in this country in the mid-197Os, but stands up, despite the rather noticeable accents of its stars.

Thomas and Sarah
»rank: 48044
0ur opinion: :Not even highbrow TV can resist spinning off a successful series! When the enormously popular Upstairs, Downstairs came to a close, two of its most colorful characters were given a series of their own: Thomas the chauffer (John Alderton, Calendar Girls) and Sarah the parlor maid (Pauline Collins, Shirley Valentine). Thomas & Sarah charted the social and financial escapades of this dubious pair, who lived together without getting married and were as comfortable with con artistry as lawful employment. The tone and quality of these ...

The Pallisers, Set 2
»rank: 88643
0ur opinion:Description:Clamoring fans get another dose of 'The Pallisers' with the release of episodes 9-17 of this opulent 26-episode drama, based on the six great political novels by Anthony Trollope. :What would you get if you combined the BBC, six Victorian novels, and a cheesy 197Os soap opera? Well, this! The Pallisers is as lavish in its aristocratic intrigues (political scandal and opportunity, lecherous dukes, palatial country houses, a world where everyone knows their place) as it is in its soap opera aesthetic (characters' tumultuous struggles ...

The Duellists [Region 2]
»rank: 160864
0ur opinion: essential video:First film by director Ridley Scott barely got released in this country in the mid-197Os, but stands up, despite the rather noticeable accents of its stars. That's because Brooklynite Harvey Keitel and Westerner Keith Carradine are playing a pair of officers in Napoleon's army--oops! The plot centers on Carradine insulting Keitel and Keitel demanding vengeance. But every time they get into the middle of one of their duels, war breaks out or something else happens to interrupt. Keitel, however, is too pig-headed to ...

Made in Britain [Region 2]
»rank: 171771
0ur opinion: : Written by David Leland and directed by Alan Clarke, Made in Britain is a slice of horrible but not inaccurate life from 1982. lt holds a terrific early performance from Tim Roth as a skinhead with a swastika caste-mark tattoo, who constantly bares shark-like teeth as he spits embittered, articulate defiance at caring social workers and truncheon-wielding policemen alike. Sixteen-year-old Trevor (Roth) is remanded to an assessment center before sentencing, but remains determined to disobey the rules imposed on him by any authority figures ...
