Movies starring David Warner

Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment (1966)

97 mins     Comedy, Drama, Fantasy      

I had known about "Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment" for quite a while before watching it as this is one of those movies from the 60s which became a cult classic but then was forgotten about. But to be honest the synopsi...

The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)

121 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance, Western      

As a fan of the western genre it would be fair to say that sometimes one western starts to merge with the next as familiar storylines and cliche scenes crop up time and again. It's usually at this point, when I start to get t...

The Omen (1976)

111 mins     Horror, Mystery      

Atmosphere, it is one of those things which can make or break a movie to the point that an old movie which might have worked one way for audiences on its release can still be effective but in a different way because it has at...

Cross of Iron (1977)

132 mins     Action , Drama, War      

I am a very sceptical movie reviewer, when ever I see that a movie is much loved I am always wary of the reasons why especially when a movie is made by a director who over the years have collected many fanboys. It is why with...

The Thirty Nine Steps (1978)

102 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller      

So to the third adaptation of John Buchan's novel "The Thirty Nine Steps" and I say adaptation on purpose because this is certainly not a remake of the previous two versions. It still shares the same basic storyline of Richar...

The Island (1980)

108 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

What a curious movie "The Island" is starting with a cheesy opening scene which culminates in a fishing boat being attacked by pirates in a canoe with a scene which could have come right out of a shock horror with an axe endi...

Time Bandits (1981)

116 mins     Adventure , Comedy      

For those who have never experienced a Terry Gilliam movie it is just that an experience of quirkiness, of strange and dam right weird. As such it has to be said that a Gilliam movie can be great for some and just wrong for o...

TRON (1982)

98 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

I was never one for pirate videos as a teen and can count on one hand the number of dodgy videos I sat through with "TRON" being the first pirate video I watched. It might explain why despite my love of computers from a young...

A Christmas Carol (1984)

100 mins     Comedy, Drama, Family, Fantasy, TV Movie      

So here I am finding myself watching yet another adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and one of the most popular versions, in fact for many the best version which is held in even higher esteem than the great 19...

Waxwork (1988)

95 mins     Comedy, Horror      

I am sure it was intentional as "Waxwork" starts off like a cringey take on a John Hughes movie with these friends looking like they have come out of a test version of "The Breakfast Club" except they are ridiculously over th...

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

119 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

As I have mentioned before in my reviews of the earlier Star Trek movies, I am not a Trekkie and so my interest in the Star Trek movies is purely out of looking to be entertained. Now a movie doesn't have to be good to entert...

Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming (1990)

100 mins     Adventure , TV Movie, War      

What this means is that suddenly we are watching Ian Fleming as if he was Bond, smartly dressed, dashing, a terrible flirt and so on. But we also get other nods to the Bond movies such as a secretary at Reuters not only telli...

Perry Mason: The Case of the Poisoned Pen (1990)

95 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

Perry Mason: The Case of the Poisoned Pen (1990) Perry Mason is on the case when a disliked novelist is murdered with poison after a confrontation with Della and Ken...

The Lost World (1992)

99 mins     Adventure , Fantasy, Sci-Fi      

I remember as a young teen there would be a movie which I discovered on TV whilst bored during summer holiday which charmed me; one year it was a Tarzan movie another it was some generic adventure movie from the 60s which fea...

Return to the Lost World (1992)

99 mins     Adventure , Fantasy, Sci-Fi      

As I mentioned in my review of "The Lost World"; there were movies which I discovered during summer holidays back in my school days that I have fond memories of which only become tarnished when I get to watch them again. And ...

Zoya (1995)

171 mins     Drama, Romance, TV Movie      

I am going to split up this review of "Zoya" into three parts starting with the typical because if you didn't know already "Zoya" is an adaptation of a Danielle Steel novel which was originally made as a two part mini-series....

Planet of the Apes (2001)

119 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

Despite having been born towards the start of the 70s it is only recently that I bit the bullet and watched the original "Planet of the Apes" and I will admit I enjoyed it. But whilst I enjoyed it I wasn't crazy for it and me...

Ladies in Lavender (2004)

104 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance      

Ladies in Lavender (2004) Judi Dench & Maggie Smith star as sisters who end up taking in a young musician who washes ashore after a terrible storm...

Black Death (2010)

102 mins     Action , Drama, Horror      

My love of movies causes both pleasure and pain because there are very few movies I will refuse to watch. Sometimes you can find yourself watching an unexpected gem whilst other times you may find initial fears of boredom com...
