- Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)
-
- An Ideal Husband / Lady Windermere's Fan (1969-1985)
- Plays nicely done, and a very good doco on what made Wilde tick.
- Being There (1980)
- Still holds up as a smart fable. Of course, in reality, a man who doesn't read and only watches TV could never become President of the United States of America, right?!
- Ruling Class, The (1972)
- A savage skewering of the British aristocracy and their waning Empire. Bit long–winded, but good fun.
- Denial (2016)
- Fine script and acting.
- Anglo Saxon Attitudes (TV Series) (1992)
- The satire is thin on the ground until the final episode.
- DVD $29.95
- Religulous (2008)
- Perhaps the old Hollywood biblical epic clips are overused here, but Bill still makes a good plug for humorous scepticism. And his mum talks sense too.
- Fairytale: A True Story (1997)
- Comic fantasy take on the notorious Cottingley Fairies.
- French Lieutenant's Woman, The (1981)
- Very meta, very enjoyable.
- DVD
$24.95 $18.70
- Seven Percent Solution, The (1976)
- Excellent tongue–in–cheek addition to the Sherlock Holmes legend. Great cast.
