572,045 | 4,248,714 | 346,156 | 5 | Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow | I had heard of this starring the leading actress of Lara Croft and from trailers , and when I actually saw it , it wasn't completely what I expected . It is supposed to be 1939 ( I know this because of the costumes , and they were showing The Wizard of Oz in a cinema ) , but is seems more like the distant future . Anyw... |
572,922 | 4,248,714 | 389,860 | 5 | Click | This film kind of reminds me of Bruce Almighty , because the main guy has been given the power of control ( literally ) , but it is almost a better format . Basically Adam Sandler as Michael Newman is a workaholic architect who wants a break from everything time consuming in his life , i . e . his job and some family l... |
571,066 | 4,248,714 | 446,687 | 6 | Driving Lessons | When I saw the advert for this I thought it was one of those one-off dramas for TV , like Goodnight Mister Tom , but I didn't realise it was pretty much a proper low-budget independent film . From the writer of Mrs . Brown , directing , this is a really good drama with an unlikely friendship . It is all about a shy tee... |

571,256 | 4,248,714 | 252,444 | 6 | Rabbit-Proof Fence | This is a good drama about two ( well a third briefly as well ) who go on a tremendous and a nearly fatal journey across a country to reach their homes , based on a true story .

572,963 | 4,248,714 | 118,607 | 6 | Amistad | There were two Steven Spielberg flaws in his very good career , the first was Hook , this is the second . It isn't the worst Spielberg film I've seen , it's just a bit boring in places . It's basically the story about the battle of black slavery and stopping them from continuing it . Morgan Freeman plays Joadson , the ... |
572,626 | 4,248,714 | 382,625 | 6 | The Da Vinci Code | They say this film may beat the amount of takings of Star Wars , I kind of hope that's not true , because I wouldn't say it was that good . From director Ron Howard ( Splash , Ransom , A Beautiful Mind ) , this is quite an interesting choice of film to direct . Tom Hanks plays Robert Langdon , at first you wonder why h... |

572,828 | 4,248,714 | 43,880 | 6 | On Moonlight Bay | I wouldn't call this a musical , but it is certainly a great comedy drama .

Basically she met love interest William ' Bill ' Sherman ( Gordon MacRae ) after only just moving into a house in the small town of Ind... |
572,977 | 4,248,714 | 47,688 | 6 | Young at Heart | This isn't meant to be a musical ( there's certainly no dance routines ) , it is a drama featuring some songs .

He travels with a bunch of friends also separated from their parents ( by an eart... |
572,698 | 4,248,714 | 87,928 | 6 | Police Academy | Many sequels have followed , I do remember seeing one or two of them , but the original is obviously the most loved and successful , all the others only have tiny moments of humour .

They soon find out Ginger and many others cat... |
571,241 | 4,248,714 | 70,608 | 6 | Robin Hood | Before I heard of the Kevin Costner and Errol Flynn versions of the classic legend story of the man who stole from the rich and gave to the poor , there was this cartoon version by Walt Disney Pictures , with the interesting idea of animals playing the characters . I obviously liked it when I was a kid , but I saw it n... |
571,276 | 4,248,714 | 485,617 | 6 | Cold Blood | To be honest , there isn't exactly a lot of story or plot , maybe even no point for this film , but you know ITV , they'll make any kind of movie like single drama . In this one we have Vanessa Redgrave as a cop investigating a murder where the murderer hasn't tried to hide his identity , and he has purposely left his ... |
572,543 | 4,248,714 | 105,046 | 6 | Of Mice and Men | Based on some book and directed by one of the stars himself , this is a not too bad story about two best friends who find work on a farm near a ranch house .

571,069 | 4,248,714 | 112,642 | 6 | Casper | From the director of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events , this is quite a good live action romp with a cartoon character I used to watch sometimes .

570,980 | 4,248,714 | 210,418 | 6 | Digimon : Digital Monsters | This is just as bad Japanese animation , voices and overall cartoon as it's rival Pokémon , but at least it was a bit better . It is kind of copying Pokémon with the title " Mon " short for monsters , except it has the " Digi " part short for Digital . What did Poke mean ? The small annoying parts to this cartoon are t... |
572,174 | 4,248,714 | 61,395 | 6 | Belle De Jour ( Beautiful of the Day ) | I heard of it from many recommendations , and was hoping it would be a really good French film , particularly from the 1960's , but truthfully , I can't see the big deal , from director Luis Buñuel ( Un Chien Andalou ) . Well , I didn't understand all of what was meant to be going on , and I was hoping for an 18 certif... |
572,109 | 4,248,714 | 299,388 | 6 | Sooty | This single word title of a new series for Sooty was obvious , but still good for a while .

571,029 | 4,248,714 | 87,755 | 6 | The Muppets Take Manhattan | There are some nearly tear-jerking moments towards he end , but the rest of the film is filled with some good moments of humour , and of course , all the Muppets you need .

572,920 | 4,248,714 | 52,365 | 6 | The Vikings | This was meant to be a brilliant film with Michael Douglas's Dad being bad , in reality , it was only okay to me . The Vikings is a film with one or two fights , and good performances by main stars Kirk Douglas as Einar , Tony Curtis as Eric and Janet Leigh as Morgana . Unfortunately though , I found it a bit forgettab... |
571,291 | 4,248,714 | 147,800 | 6 | 10 Things I Hate About You | This is quite a good teen comedy with just a hint of drama , but it isn't exactly one of the best teen films . The only thing I can remember watching it ( we watched it in two English lessons for some kind of research ) is Heath Ledger as Patrick ' Pat ' Verona , the main and most attractive guy to the girls . Well , a... |
571,331 | 4,248,714 | 70,379 | 6 | Mean Streets | This is a bit of a landmark film as it was it was the first time director Martin Scorsese casted Robert De Niro , a collaboration that has continued in numerous films .

At his new school , Daniel gets himself into figh... |
571,852 | 4,248,714 | 65,593 | 6 | Cromwell | I mainly knew of Richard Harris from Harry Potter , so it was really interesting to see him as the younger leading actor , in this historical drama from director Ken Hughes ( Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ) .

572,761 | 4,248,714 | 217,505 | 6 | Gangs of New York | From Golden Globe winning , and Oscar nominated director Martin Scorsese , this period crime drama is a very stylised film and quite riveting . The film starts with citizens of New York , led by William ' Bill The Butcher ' Cutting ( BAFTA winning , and Oscar and Golden Globe nominated Daniel Day-Lewis ) , fighting a s... |
572,312 | 4,248,714 | 454,841 | 6 | The Hills Have Eyes | Based on his own 1977 film , Wes Craven ( A Nightmare on Elm Street , Scream ) produces this remake film , I admit seeing the original first might have been better , but I don't think it matters .

572,008 | 4,248,714 | 104,694 | 6 | A League of Their Own | I can't remember the entire story , but I do remember that it is based on a true story .

571,361 | 4,248,714 | 144,715 | 6 | Holy Smoke | I think the only reason I wanted to see this was because I like Kate Winslet , she's gorgeous , there might be a chance she'd get her clothes off , and this film is the director of The Piano , Jane Campion .

572,622 | 4,248,714 | 360,201 | 6 | Wimbledon | From the makers of Bridget Jones , Notting Hill and it's similarity , Love Actually , this is a good film , but like it's similarity , could have had more effort put in . Still , there are moments where it is amusing and sentimental . But the big grip is obviously Paul Bettany as Peter Colt with a will-he won't-he win ... |
572,044 | 4,248,714 | 104,691 | 6 | The Last of the Mohicans | From writer , producer and director Michael Mann ( Heat , Collateral ) I was expecting a bit more , but it wasn't too bad .

572,821 | 4,248,714 | 933,158 | 6 | The Secret Policeman's Ball : The Ball in the Hall | This was a great Amnesty International charity show on Channel 4 .

Basically they interview real m... |
571,834 | 4,248,714 | 435,680 | 6 | Kidulthood | I had heard quite a lot about this film being quite controversial , almost like Larry Clarke's Kids or Bully , and it is a really good teenage drama . Basically it a 48 hour time broken into an hour and a half about the individual and group stories with each of the young adults . These include Trevor / Trife ( Aml Amee... |
571,230 | 4,248,714 | 18,037 | 6 | The Jazz Singer | I obviously heard of this film as the very first talkie film , but also it explains the episode of The Simpsons where Krusty is reunited with his Hebru Dad , it spoofed this film . Anyway , it is all about Jakie Rabinowitz , or Jack Robin ( Al Jolson , and Robert Gordon , when aged 13 ) . As a kid , Jackie had the aspi... |
570,995 | 4,248,714 | 276,751 | 6 | About a Boy | This is a very peaceful and simple comedy from the makers of American Pie .

571,273 | 4,248,714 | 381,966 | 6 | Creep | For a British horror from debut director Christopher Smith , who followed with the good Severance , this is a good attempt to create an original idea for a character , and a horror film .

571,714 | 4,248,714 | 43,274 | 6 | Alice in Wonderland | When I was a kid , this used to be quite a good animated film from Walt Disney Pictures , a bit more aimed at girls and readers of the famous book by Louis Carol , but good .

571,159 | 4,248,714 | 364,725 | 6 | Dodgeball | Quite a good film with a bit of a silly idea , but still very funny in places . Ben Stiller plays White Goodman , he owns a big and successful multi gym . Vince Vaughn plays Peter La Fleur , his gym next door does not do good business and Whitte wants to buy it . Unless Peter can get $50 , 000 he cannot keep his gym . ... |
571,807 | 4,248,714 | 171,580 | 6 | Nurse Betty | This could almost be along the lines of another nut-case film , along the lines of Misery , where the leading female character is so obsessed with a fictional character , but you can sympathise with this one . Basically Betty Sizemore ( Golden Globe winning Renée Zellweger ) is a Kansas city waitress , and her favourit... |
572,829 | 4,248,714 | 477,347 | 6 | Night at the Museum | After seeing the film , I thought it was quite good , like the trailer suggested .

572,540 | 4,248,714 | 64,757 | 6 | On Her Majesty's Secret Service | Golden Globe nominated Australian actor George Lazenby played Commander James Bond 007 in his one and only film , and the result afterwards ( at cinemas ) was that they wanted Sir Sean Connery back , and they got it in a really silly Diamonds Are Forever , and again 12 years later in Never Say Never Again . Anyway , he... |
573,213 | 4,248,714 | 378,194 | 6 | Kill Bill : Vol 2 | This doesn't have as much violence or thrills as the first film , but Quetin Tarantino's directed and written ( with the female star's help ) part two is still essential for the reason why The Bride ( Golden Globe nominated Uma Thurman ) kills people from the death list . She was basically ( nearly ) killed at her wedd... |
572,727 | 4,248,714 | 435,625 | 6 | The Descent | Shaun of the Dead is funny , 28 Days Later is cool , and Creep is creepy ( obviously ) , and this British film from director Neil Marshall ( Dog Soldiers ) , is not too bad .
