Melody [S.W.A.L.K.] ** (1971, Jack Wild, Mark Lester, Tracy Hyde, Roy Kinnear, Sheila Steafel, Hilda Barry, Kate Williams) – Classic Movie Review 5038
Jack Wild and Mark Lester, the two young stars of Oliver!, reunite to much less effect for director Waris Hussein’s now very dated 1971 anti-establishment comedy romantic drama, with an original story and screenplay written […]
Jubilee **** (1978, Jenny Runacre, Nell Campbell, Toyah Willcox, Jordan, Ian Charleson, Karl Johnson, Adam Ant, Neil Kennedy, Jack Birkett, Jayne County, Richard O’Brien) – Classic Movie Review 4989
Co-writer/ director Derek Jarman’s amazing 1978 punk-rock anti-celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Jubilee is an original, outrageous, clever report of the state of the British nation in 1977. Jubilee was always a rousing, eye-opening movie, […]
L’Auberge Rouge [The Red Inn] **** (1951, Fernandel, Françoise Rosay, Julien Carette, Marie-Claire Olivia) – Classic Movie Review 4946
Fernandel’s 1951 classic movie is a gloriously macabre piece of French Grand Guignol black comedy, crisply written by the screen-writing team of Jean Aurenche and Pierre Bost, and expertly handled by director Claude Autant-Lara, who […]

Silent Movie **** (1976, Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Marty Feldman, Dom DeLuise, Bernadette Peters) – Classic Movie Review 4045
Great days with Mel Funn! Co-writer/ director Mel Brooks’s inventive and hilarious 1976 movie is a pleasure to watch. It cleverly revives the long-lost art of silent comedy, with Brooks directing himself in a funny turn […]
The Little Shop of Horrors **** (1960, Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph, Mel Welles, Dick Miller, Jack Nicholson) – Classic Movie Review 3,870
Roger Corman spent only $30,000 and took just two days to shoot the now highly regarded 1960 cult black comedy horror film The Little Shop of Horrors. Incredibly, producer-director Roger Corman spent only $30,000 and […]
Down Terrace ** (2009, Robin Hill, Robert Hill, Julia Deakin) – Classic Movie Review 3845
A Brighton crime family of small-time, drug-supplier crooks try to unmask a police informer who sent the father and son to jail in this cheaply made Brit black-comedy crime drama thriller, ingeniously filmed almost entirely […]
