Housesitter (1992)
Social Network, The (2010): The story is important enough to be handled by a documentary maker rather than as a dramatisation. A doco. will get closer to the truth, will be shorter and spare the viewer having to look at these characters.
Oh! Mr Porter (1937): They don't make them like this anymore. There is some wonderful railway action.
Tex (1982): Meg Tilly provides welcome relief from the young male posturing.
Cable Guy, The (1996): The plot idea and the screenplay are not too bad.
Kes (1969): It is set in the days when teachers and adults whacked kids behind the lugholes as a normal course of events. The school scenes are believable with the soccer segment a real bonus. Young David Bradley in his first role is spot on.
Natural, The (1984): There is a very good supporting cast and the baseball action is fine but only heaven knows why it needed to exceed 2 hours.; Blu-Ray $24.95
Sight, The (2000): Not very original but it is worthy of a watch.
Phantom India (1969): It is valuable archival footage. Malle as commentator is as even handed as could be expected – acknowledging his intrusiveness into other people's lives. Two segments are unforgettable– vulture feeding time and the visit to the school of dance.
Strangers On a Train (1951): Walker is very good. The plot is interesting and has two memorable scenes.
