Review: 8 GREAT Brit-films VALUE collection - What a great price for over 12 hours of really good cinema. The 8 features are all films that first showed from 1994 to 1999. Each is 90 to 118 minutes and all are in widescreen and color. They are loaded with star performers in stellar accomplishments. It is a satisfying mix of comedy, historical drama, romance, and biography. What more can you say except the price is less than renting. And you will want to watch some of the offerings more than once. They are as good as any of the new cinema creations put out today. Restoration: Robert Downey Jr, Meg Ryan, Ian MacKellan, Hugh Grant, and more. London 1663 drama of one mans journey through the light and dark of the period times. R rating for sexuality, nudity. One of the best. An Ideal Husband: A delightful period drama/romance with stellar performances by Minnie Driver & Cate Blanchett. Another of my favorite from this lot. A Month by the Lake: An older (Vanessa Redgrave) lady finds romance in a wonderful adaptation of a story by HE Bates. My Life So Far: Scot lad Fraser lives a somewhat wild childhood and viewers get a very funny accounting of his coming to terms with puberty. Colin Firth is the dad. I'll watch this film again and again. The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain. What will Welsh townsfolk do to retaliate against surveyors (Ian McNeice, Hugh Grant) claiming their prized local mountain is less than 1000 feet--thus a mere `hill'? Another top winner. Sweet Revenge: 2 souls fail to complete suicides off London's Tower Bridge. They form a pact to play a deadly game of revenge against those that drove them to the brink. Lots of UK stars. Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown: Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) gets close and personal during her grief from losing the King with Mr. Brown, a man who cares for her horses and the emotional state of his queen. True love? Tom & Viv: A very accurate & well done fictional/biographic look a the life of T.S. Eliot (Willem Dafoe), poet with an insane wife. NO SUBTITLES OR Closed Caption--shame on ECHO BRIDGE. No bonus stuff. Yet highly recommended. Review: Great to find film collections of British cinema - Great to find film collections of British cinema! This is a good one. I am super tired of the idiocy that seems to be contemporary Hollywood - at least those that make the headlines. I find pleasure in the different approach to life that seems typical of the best of British drama. And, I love having them at my fingertips of an afternoon or evening when nothing but mindless drivel is to be found on any of the myriad television channels that seem unable to do anything meaningful with any degree of consistency. Watching these films at home and in comfort at a reasonable price is, for me, a pleasant and affordable escape from the movie house crowd. (And I can make my own popcorn, too!) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | 8 Feature Films, Cate Blanchett, Colin Firth, Colm Meaney, Hugh Grant, Judi Dench, Julianne Moore, Malcolm McDowell, Meg Ryan, Minnie Driver, Miranda Richardson, Robert Downey Jr, Sam Neill, Uma Thurman, Vanessa Redgrave, Willem Dafoe Contributor 8 Feature Films, Cate Blanchett, Colin Firth, Colm Meaney, Hugh Grant, Judi Dench, Julianne Moore, Malcolm McDowell, Meg Ryan, Minnie Driver, Miranda Richardson, Robert Downey Jr, Sam Neill, Uma Thurman, Vanessa Redgrave, Willem Dafoe See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 904 Reviews | | Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Genre | Drama | | Language | English | | Runtime | 13 hours and 30 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Drama - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen - **Contributor:** 8 Feature Films, Cate Blanchett, Colin Firth, Colm Meaney, Hugh Grant, Judi Dench, Julianne Moore, Malcolm McDowell, Meg Ryan, Minnie Driver, Miranda Richardson, Robert Downey Jr, Sam Neill, Uma Thurman, Vanessa Redgrave, Willem Dafoe - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 13 hours and 30 minutes ## Images ![British Cinema Collection: 8 Acclaimed Films - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51g0PFIIW9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8 GREAT Brit-films VALUE collection *by H***F on March 4, 2013* What a great price for over 12 hours of really good cinema.

I find pleasure in the different approach to life that seems typical of the best of British drama.

(And I can make my own popcorn, too!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Uneven like most multi-packs,this one has 5 good, 1 bad , 1 middling bad, 1 merely ok ish *by P***D on October 22, 2015* Bottom Line First: Shop around. DVDs come in and out of print and even out of print there has to be some good prices somewhere. 8 Acclaimed (British) Films is clearly for fans of modern British movies, esp then up and commers like Collin Firth and Hugh grant as well as grand dames like Judy Dench and Vanessa Redgrave. No Jane Austin here but much in the way of literary refinances and history costume dramas. These are not something for everybody movies. You much like intelligent dialoged and subtlety and slower pacing. Evan the lessor of the movies here have fine performances and superior costuming and some amazing beautiful settings. Where they fail it is directing.
