Highlander **** (1986, Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown) – Classic Movie Review 2331
Director Russell Mulcahy’s rousing 1986 fantasy adventure is a hugely enjoyable entertainment. Even if it seems to owe a debt to the flashy video techniques of the day and the likes of other superior movies […]
Father Christmas **** (1991, voice of Mel Smith) – Classic Movie Review 1971
The late Mel Smith provides the voice of the titular Father Christmas in director Dave Unwin’s British 1991 seasonal animation joy, based on the Raymond Briggs stories. Santa, the busiest man in snow business, turns his […]
Breaking the Waves ***** (1996, Emily Watson, Stellan Skarsgård) – Classic Movie Review 1703
Danish co-writer/director Lars Von Trier’s 1996 movie is maybe still this most important of film-maker’s finest. And it’s Islington-born actress Emily Watson’s too, in her very first film, aged 29. She was Oscar nominated […]

Co-producer/ director Michael Relph’s belated 1958 sequel to the 1949 hit Whisky Galore! is friendly, pleasant and amusing, but not always sparkling and sometimes sluggish. Nice though it is, it doesn’t have quite the same spark […]
The Battle of the Sexes *** (1959, Peter Sellers, Constance Cummings, Robert Morley) Classic Movie Review 1641
Portsmouth-born Peter Sellers relishes his delicately fake posh Edinburgh district Morningside accent and has a great time in a good part for him as Mr Martin, the mouse-like elderly accountant of an Edinburgh Scottish tweed weaving […]
Local Hero **** (1983, Burt Lancaster, Peter Riegert, Fulton Mackay, Peter Capaldi, Denis Lawson) – Classic Movie Review 1634
Writer-director Bill Forsyth’s 1983 vintage-style Scottish comedy is an irresistible throwback to the era and movies of the Forties and Fifties and, in particular, the similarly themed classic Whisky Galore (1949). Peter Riegert stars as Mac, […]
