Advantages: Cast, script, most things really
Disadvantages: A bit slow at times

Pillow Talk is a wonderful romantic comedy which has hardly aged a bit in the decades since its release. Remade a couple of years ago into the excellent Down With Love, this one can still hold its head up high (and though I personally still like the latter film more, I know that many prefer the original.) Jan Morrow (Doris Day) is a highly successful career woman, who is unfortunate in that she has to share a party phone line with playboy Brad Allen ...
...All in all, Pillow Talk is an extremely enjoyable film thanks to a witty script and an enthusiastic cast. Hudson and Day are terrific whether sparring or wooing, and their phone encounters contain some sparkling dialogue. Tony Randall as the rich wannabe husband who can't understand is very funny, particularly when taking great delight in Brad's failures (though he does turn out to be sort of a good friend in the end!) His performance is not all ... Read review

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: some may not like adult humour

...no doubt this film is a classic. It is a film that can be watched again and again and will still hold its comedy value. Whilst there are few special effects in this film, it adds to its appeal, as it simply does not need any. What you see is what you get, a side splitting film with actors projecting side splitting performances. Any film with John Cleese and Jamie Lee Curtis is bound to be a winner, as this one is ...

...of a well given mention. Jerry Maguire is perhaps the best film Tom Cruise has starred in. This star studded comedy drama also includes the cast of Cuba Gooding Jr, Rene Zellweger, and Jonathan Lipnicki. I watched this film when I was just 13 years old. Every time I watch it the more it appeals to me with a message. Now i want to spread the word of this cult classic film. Jerry Maguire is a sports agent. After a nervous breakdown he produces a mission ...
...many people as possible. Jerry Maguire received Academy Award nominations and the £50 million budget film has been acclaimed as the 10th best film in the sports genre. Cuba Gooding Jr. received an Oscar for his role as Rod Tidwell. His character is everything that Jerry wants to be, a family man. Jerry talks himself into marriage, taking the hand of René Zellwegers character (Dorothy Boyd). However, this is what leads to the rejuvenation of his ... Read review

...that explores the notion that Shakespeare wasn't that great a writer and was, in fact, simply a lusty man ever in search of a muse - or, in other words, a woman to lay that might, if he's lucky, give him some inspiration for a new play. I kind of like his style, actually. Trying to write "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," Shakespeare - played by Joseph Fiennes - discovers he's suffering from writer's block, a phenomenon known to many of us ...
...appease both her desire for Shakespeare and the stage itself, Viola takes to the boards as a young boy and plays the part of Romeo in Will's new play. Shakespeare himself discovers quickly that this new muse has, indeed, unlocked his writer's block and he starts to write his new play, helped by the input of his financially depressed theatre owner, Hugh Fennyman (played by Tom Wilkinson) and his lead actor, Ned Alleyn, who ultimately suggests a new ...
