Columbo (TV Series) (1971-2003): S1: Very well written episodes and all are aided by some great guest casting.
Rebellion (TV Series) (2016): S1: It looks like a serious attempt to recreate the events to a reasonable degree of accuracy. The period's details are well catered to and the casting of the arrogant British Officers is sublime.rnrn; DVD $29.95, $34.95
Blue Thunder (1983): The helicopter stunt flying is really the only redeemable feature.; DVD $14.95 | Blu-Ray $24.95
Man from Snowy River 2, The (1988): For some reason, Jack Thompson is not in this but Tony Barry is.
Man from Snowy River , The (1981): Not sure which one was the man from Snowy River but Sigrid Thornton was fine, Jack Thompson as expected was in it but the highlight was the panoramas.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Christmas Story, A (1983): A rarity – a Christmas film that can be recommended.
Moneyball (2011): Pitt is good in this one – in turn the screenplay is more intelligent than a lot of sports dramas. It is long but worth it.
Ladies Who Do (1963): It is sexist in a 60's kind of way but extremely well written. There is a good male cast led by Morley and Corbett but they are on the second rank with Peggy, Dandy and the girls to the fore.
Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas) (2005): Well produced but some of the front–line antics are over staged and unintentionally comical. To its credit however it is anti–war and therefore hard to dislike.
Defiant Ones, The (1958): "You can't lynch me I'm white". Well written and performed – loved the strong and hard bitten supporting cast of Claude Akins, Theodore Bikel, Charles McGraw, and Lon Chaney.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
