Movies starring Max Von Sydow

The Quiller Memorandum (1966)

104 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

"The Quiller Memorandum" feels like a James Bond movie from the 60s, it looks like a James Bond movie from the 60s and even sounds like a James Bond movie from the 60s. Except "The Quiller Memorandum" isn't a James Bond movie...

Flash Gordon (1980)

111 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

It would be easy for me to say that "Flash Gordon" is one of the corniest, even campest, comic book adaptations you are likely to ever see. From fake looking sets, dodgy effects, larger than life cliche characters and corny d...

Escape to Victory (1981)

116 mins     Action , Sport, War      

Two boys having watched "The Great Escape" followed by the "FA Cup" allow their imaginations to run riot and come up with a war movie where the prisoners of war stick it to the Germans in a game of football. That for me is ho...

Conan the Barbarian (1982)

129 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

It's important to remember that when "Conan the Barbarian" was released back in 1982 the whole "Dungeons & Dragons" thing was massive and so movies which played on the swords and magic thing were also popular. Now I wasn't in...

Never Say Never Again (1983)

134 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

I reckon Sean Connery must have been laughing all the way to the bank when he was asked to star in "Never Say Never Again", not only was he paid handsomely to return to the iconic role of James Bond but here he was in what is...

Needful Things (1993)

120 mins     Crime, Drama, Fantasy      

First things first and "Needful Things" is certainly and entertaining movie as we watch the residents of Castle Rock manipulated to do things and then the repercussions of these things having wide range effects on the communi...

Judge Dredd (1995)

96 mins     Adventure , Crime, Sci-Fi      

Released in 1995 "Judge Dredd" is not your typical big screen adaptation of a comic book character, or at least not in the sense of the sort of movies which have steadily filled the cinemas in more recent years. No "Judge Dre...

Minority Report (2002)

145 mins     Action , Mystery, Sci-Fi      

Minority Report: Tom Cruise is a cop in the year 2054 where a system helps them prevent crime before it happens, except the system say he is going to kill someone...

Heidi (2005)

104 mins     Drama, Family      

As a child of the 70s and 80s I have many memories of the programs shown on TV specifically for children during the summer holidays and after school one of which was the 1978 series "Heidi". Now a lot has happened since I wat...

Rush Hour 3 (2007)

91 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

So they fought crime in Los Angeles, they fought crime in Hong Kong so where else is there for Carter & Lee to fight crime, Paris. Yes here we have "Rush Hour 3" which once again sees Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan as the unlikel...

Solomon Kane (2009)

104 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

If you asked me to watch a western featuring a gun fighter trying to go straight but having to turn to the guns to rescue someone I would be more than happy to watch it. If you asked me to watch the same scenario with a Vietn...

Shutter Island (2010)

138 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

2010 must have been a dream for Leonardo DiCaprio quite literally because not only did he star in "Inception" where he played a man who could go into peoples' dreams he also starred in Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island" which...

Robin Hood (2010)

140 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

"Robin Hood" is an interesting movie and with director Ridley Scott once again working with Russell Crowe you sort of have certain expectations especially when these two gave us the epic "Gladiator". You expect this latest st...

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

136 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy, Sci-Fi      

Thank you J.J. Abrams for making me feel the excitement I felt as a child when I watched "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" for the first time and in doing so reminding me why I love movies so much, I had started to forget....
