Oliver Twist (1948): Robert Newton and Alec Guinness head an excellent cast of supporting performers. The set designs are superb.
Sex Traffic (Mini-Series) (2004): The screenplay does a commendable job of portraying a part of the sex trade in a no frills manner. It was too long however as it got its strong message across very ably at what would have been the normal feature length.
Blood and Sand (1941): I always cheer for the bull.
All the King's Men (1949): A bullying performance from Crawford is the centre piece of this well written screenplay but Mercedes McCambridge's performance is just as worthy.
Hideous Kinky (1999): The screenplay is loosely structured but this is not a problem thanks to the central performer, the locations, and the terrific smorgasbord soundtrack.
Yentl (1983): A never ending screenplay with modest musical interruptions.
Friday (1995): All the cast were good and the characters were generally well written and interesting.
Snake Pit, The (1948): A bit dated but certainly still watchable thanks to the lead performance.
Meet John Doe (1941): The screenplay contains one or two political messages and although it gets a bit too melodramatic toward the end it is helped along by very good casting in all the leading roles.
Blues Brothers 2000 (1998): The screenplay is okay but it did need the musical segments and in particular the harmonica blues.
