"Somewhere my love, there will be songs to sing"
Advantages: An excellent historical interpretation of the Russian Revolution
Disadvantages: A long film, but worth it.
INTRODUCTION Doctor Zhivago, in my opinion, is one of the most - if not THE most, romantic epic films ever. Made in 1965 it was one of the most popular films of its time; certainly mine - for me it could have been something to do with those incredible eyes of Omar Sharif, the haunting Laura's Theme, the incredible story or all three. Three years after making the wonderful "Lawrence of Arabia" British director David Lean and actor Omar Sharif were ...
...Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago are among the highest-grossing films of all-time. While Ryan's Daughter and A Passage to India were less successful on release but since they were released on DVD they have becom a lot more popular . Personally I thought Ryan's Daughter was a wonderful and memorable film. Lean won two Oscars and was nominated nine times. · Best Director for The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia · Nominated ...

RYAN'S DAUGHTER
DIRECTED BY DAVID LEAN
"To suggest sex and leave it to the audience is much more erotic than showing it all. Sex is imagination." David Lean INTRODUCTION
Here I go again, not a REALLY old classic, but a classic in my mind and another David Lean masterpiece. No one else put images and sound together in quite the way Sir David Lean did; I could NEVER understand why, in 1970 (Ok so it is nearly 40 years old!!) ...

DVD Features: Audio Commentary:Commentary by: Lady Sandra Lean, Sarah Miles, Trine Mitchum (Robert Mitchum?s Daughter), Assistant Director Michael Stevenson, Second Unit Director Roy Stevens, Art Director Roy Walker, Assistant Editor Tony Lawson, Location Manager Eddie Fowlie, Stuntman Vic Armstrong, ...

A Passage to India [1984]
.
.
.
In the film which is an almost faithful adaptation of E. M. Forster's novel A PASSAGE TO INDIA (1924), Adela Quested (Judy Davis) and Mrs. Moore (Peggy Ashcroft) travel to India to visit the latter's son Ronny (Nigel Havers), who is also Miss Quested's fiancé. Ronny works there as a civil magistrate who is surrounded by other English employees, and these prefer to stay secluded in a milieu which they created to ...
...but this experience ends as a rather tragic one for both. They get the chance to meet Dr. Aziz who seems to have a revolutionary spirit that is not satisfied with how the English treat his fellow countrymen. When he talks to these two ladies, he notices that they are different from the rest, or so he thinks, and he invites them to go with him and discover certain mysterious caves in India. Here things take a different turn. They start by visiting ...

Great Expectations - The Book
My recollection of the book 'Great Expectations' (by Charles Dickens if there is anyone who doesn't know!) is somewhat hazy, what with GCSEs being 11 years ago and not really paying attention to the book at the time - to be honest I'm not really a fan of Dickens, at least I wasn't at 15. I remember Phillip Pirrip (Pip), Joe Gargery and Mrs Joe. I remember Pip meeting a convict in a graveyard, and being ...
...but beautiful niece Estella. I remember Miss Havisham had been wearing her wedding dress since being jilted at the alter decades before. And, last but not least I remember Magwitch - I mainly remember him because our English teacher who once exclaimed that everything was 'peachy babe' (she was only about 22 and was trying to be 'cool' I think) pronounced his name MagWITCH. There was one incident where the whole class was in absolute fits of laughter ...
