for intelligent, colourful, accessible and popular drama. Dickens' novels are ideal for television adaptation - his writing has a great theatrical and visual quality; his stories (written as episodes with their own cliff-hangers) are full of humour, drama and emotion and his characters are three dimensional and exude personality. The adaptations in this set feature some of the nation's greatest actors. The series were all broadcast to great critical and popular acclaim and have since taken their place as a valued part of our television heritage.Works:The Pickwick PapersOliver TwistA Christmas CarolMartin ChuzzlewitDavid CopperfieldA Tale Of Two CitiesGreat ExpectationsOur Mutual Friend

Advantages: An aesthetically pleasing collection Disadvantages: Some rather poor inclusions
...A selection of classic Hammer films from the very good to...not so good. An aesthetically pleasing set for fans of the studio, or those wanting at least half of the titles. Features star favourites Peter Cushing, Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Christopher Lee (about whom there is an interesting documentary with 'Scars of Dracula').
The extra features vary greatly, the biggest ommission, in my opinion, is the total absence of subtitles for the hearing impaired.
For those who are interested all films are anamorphic, some for the first time, and completely uncut.
My personal favourite was the inclusion of the 1965 film 'The Nanny' which stars a very chilling Bette Davis in a well scripted, and often overlooked role.
Probably a tad overpriced for most, but new DVD versions of individual films are also available, so take...

Included are nine DVDs showing will at his best and to be honest in 2 films not really his best. Anyhow, what follows is a nine disc synopsis and my views on each movie.
The box contains a huge unfolding DVD holder into which all 9 DVDs are held.
Enjoy

Advantages: loads of bonus features Disadvantages: none
...This is the king of all boxsets, its amazing. It has all of the matrix films plus loads of special features. Its not really for anyone who hasnt seen any matrix films yet but if your a fan its totally worth buying. Its great value for money as aswell as getting all the films you get 35 hours of special features. Overall its one of the best boxsets I have ever come across and would recomend it to anyone. Its for anyone 15 years and older and inside there are 10 discs including films and special features. In my opinion this is quite cheap as I got it for much more so I would advise anyone to get it here. I would give it 10/10....
