If you live in Britain and watch a bit of daytime TV there is a good chance you will have seen "I Was Monty's Double" show up on the TV schedule as it seems to be on just about every over month. But that isn't a complaint bec...

Cool Hand Luke (1967)

126 mins     Crime, Drama      

50 eggs in an hour, I doubt I could take down 5 let alone 50 but it is one of the many iconic scenes from the classic prison movie "Cool Hand Luke". But the egg scene also sums up what the movie is about quite nicely as Luke ...

Till the End of Night (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

"Till the End of Night" is a curious episode of "Cimarron Strip" as it was only episode 10 of the series and yet it felt comfortable enough to dispense with the central character of Jim Crown for what feels like most of the m...

Live and Let Die (1973)

121 mins     Action , Adventure , Crime

The Last Detail (1973)

104 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Watching "The Last Detail" you realise they don't make movies like this anymore and the sad thing is that if they did they wouldn't be popular. The irony is that at its heart "The Last Detail" is a buddy movie, a comedy about...

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

125 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

I've heard "The Man with the Golden Gun" described as the stupidest of the official James Bond movies, yet whilst there is plenty of stupidity and purposeful comedy it's by no means as stupid as some of Roger Moore's later ou...

Juggernaut (1974)

109 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

"Juggernaut" was released in the UK just 6 days before my 2nd birthday, I say this because having watched it for the first time maybe 30 years later I have to say it didn't do a great deal for me and still didn't when I revis...

The Deadly Tower (1975)

100 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller, TV Movie

Rancho Deluxe (1975)

93 mins     Comedy, Romance, Western      

Well I guess you needed to be there at the time to enjoy "Rancho Deluxe" as watching this 70s western comedy 40 years later I found myself wondering as to what it was that others saw in it. On paper I can see how it would wor...

Freedom Road: The Vernon Johns Story (1994)

100 mins     Biography, Drama, TV Movie      

As a Brit born in the early 70s and who went through the British education system it should come as little surprise that my knowledge of the American Civil Rights movement is slim. Yes I know names and certain events, some of...

Lone Star (1996)

135 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

"Lone Star" is the third John Sayles movie I have watched and like the other movies it draws you in and keeps you watching with a storyline which is full of intrigue. It also has drama and romance but it is the intrigue which...
