Velvet
Goldmine
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $6.99
An incredible tale. Although it is
fictional, there are many little things
that did occur in the time of glam rock.
|
 |
Labyrinth
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.49
I loved this as a kid. I still love it,
but now I can understand the underlying
message as well, be careful what you wish
for.

Kismet
(1955)
Buy used from: $8.94
Exquisite scenery, a storyline filled
with wit, and fantastic songs, especially
"Stranger In Paradise".
|
 |
Cry-Baby
Buy used from: $3.95
One of the best modern musicals I've ever
seen, set in the fifties.
|
 |
All That
Jazz
Buy used from: $0.54
Bob Fosse directed and choreographed.
Semi-autobiographical. Brilliant.
|
 |
Mary Poppins (Disney Gold Classic
Collection)
Buy used from: $14.51
One of my favourite movies from
childhood.
|
 |
A
Hard Day's Night
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.40
The acting in this is great, considering
that the Beatles weren't actors. It's
funny, and of course the music is top
notch.
|
 |
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (25th
Anniversary Edition)
Buy used from: $9.30
I knew the music from this long before I
actually saw it. Unfortunately, I am too
young to have seen it at the movies, so
I've never had the full experience.
|
 |
The
Fountainhead
Buy used from: $2.95
An incredible story of conviction.
|
 |
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen
of the Desert
Buy used from: $6.19
Great Australian movie, good cast, oscar
winning costumes, and oh so funny.
|
 |
Sixteen
Candles
Buy used from: $0.01
Classic 80's teen movie.
|
 |
Victor
Victoria
Buy used from: $1.00
Very screwball.
|
 |
Grease
(Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.97
Another great musical about the fifties,
but also very seventies underneath all
that.
|
 |
Breakfast
Club
Buy used from: $0.01
Some of the best quotes I've ever heard.
|
 |
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $1.76
Another one of the movies that I saw as a
child that I appreciate more, now that I
understand the message.
|
 |
The
Producers
Buy used from: $0.49
One of Mel Brooks' best, up there with
"Blazing Saddles".
|
 |
Italian
Job
Buy used from: $4.19
A great, intelligent movie with action,
comedy, good characters and Mini Coopers.
If you look carefully, you never actually
see Michael Caine drive a car in this,
because he had never learnt to drive.
|
 |
So
I Married an Axe Murderer
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.37
Much more clever than "Austin Powers".
|
 |
The
Dark Crystal
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.20
I love the creatures in this.
|
 |
Casablanca
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.49
Classic Noir. And you know at the end
that Rick did the right thing.
