Movies directed by Richard Lester

A Hard Day's Night (1964)

84 mins Comedy, Musical

If someone asked me to watch a movie featuring a day in the life of say One Direction or Take That or even Guns n Roses I would say no, not because I have anything against the bands but just the thought of spending 90 minutes...

The Three Musketeers (1973)

105 mins Action , Adventure , Comedy

As a child I use to love a cartoon series called "Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds" and up until recently it had been the only version of Alexandre Dumas p�re's classic novel I had watched. The simple reason is that whilst...

The Four Musketeers (1974)

108 mins Action , Adventure , Romance

"The Four Musketeers" was shot at the same time they made "The Three Musketeers", in fact the cast thought they were making one epic movie only to discover it was two and ended up taking the producers to court for fair pay fo...

Superman III (1983)

125 mins Action , Adventure , Comedy

There is a scene in "Superman III" where the green man and red man on some traffic lights have a fight, it's meant to be funny but ends up plainly wrong. Plainly wrong is a good way to describe "Superman III" as where the fir...

The Return of the Musketeers (1989)

102 mins Action , Adventure , Comedy

When I watched the 1973 version of "The Three Musketeers" I was pleasantly surprised because rather than some stuffy period piece it had the marvellous feel of a swashbuckling adventure laced with good humour. So when I got t...
