Henry V [Blu-ray] [1945]Henry V [Blu-ray] [1945]
Buy new: £13.98 / Used from: £12.83
A wonderful film and so inventive for it's time. The blu-ray has a brilliantly restored picture; I didn't think ITV would go to this much trouble
Rio Bravo [Blu-ray] [1959]Rio Bravo [Blu-ray] [1959]
Buy new: £7.98
This is my favourite John Wayne film. It has everything - action, humour, romance and even a couple of songs
Harry Potter Collection - Years 1-6 [Blu-ray]Harry Potter Collection - Years 1-6 [Blu-ray]
Marvellous films which I believe get better with each new one
Where Eagles Dare  [1968] [DVD]Where Eagles Dare [1968] [DVD]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.98
The Alistair MacLean books make great films and I think this is the best, full of action
Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (Theatrical Version) [Blu-ray] [2001]Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (Theatrical Version) [Blu-ray] [2001]
Buy new: £48.98
My favourite films of all. I know the blu-ray is a rip off being the theatrical editions, but I'm dying to see the films in HD
Star Wars - The Original Trilogy [DVD] [1977]Star Wars - The Original Trilogy [DVD] [1977]
Buy new: £14.48 / Used from: £13.49
I like the prequels, the second and third ones anyway, but the original trilogy is the best and still stands up today
In Which We Serve [DVD] [1942]In Which We Serve [DVD] [1942]
Buy new: £4.88
I've always loved British war films and this is THE film of the Royal Navy in WW2
Spider-Man Trilogy [Blu-ray] [2002]Spider-Man Trilogy [Blu-ray] [2002]
Buy new: £27.48 / Used from: £26.00
Until the Dark Knight these were the definitive super hero films. The first two are the best with the third being good, but a bit too much with 3 villains
The Dam Busters [Blu-ray] [1954]The Dam Busters [Blu-ray] [1954]
Buy new: £6.98
And this is THE film of the RAF in WW2. I've always thought the dams raid was brilliant and this tells the story perfectly
The Adventures of Robin Hood [Blu-ray] [1938] [US Import]The Adventures of Robin Hood [Blu-ray] [1938] [US Import]
Buy used from: £12.81
The best swashbuckling film ever and fantastic fun. The blu-ray is an import but multi region and the restored picture is stunning
Die Hard Collection  [Blu-ray]  [2007] [US Import] [Region A]Die Hard Collection [Blu-ray] [2007] [US Import] [Region A]
Buy used from: £35.00
I love the Die Hard films, especially the first two. I've shown the US blu-ray release but it's not multi region, so I've got the first 2 and the 4th on region 2 blu-ray, with the 3rd on DVD
Emma [DVD] [1996]Emma [DVD] [1996]

Another film which blew me away when I first saw it
The Dark Knight / Batman Begins (Double Pack) [Blu-ray] [2005]The Dark Knight / Batman Begins (Double Pack) [Blu-ray] [2005]
Buy new: £21.98 / Used from: £23.00
These are two fantastic films but I think The Dark Knight the best super hero film ever made

Buy new: £17.88 / Used from: £15.99
I had my doubts before I saw it but not afterwards; this is a brilliant re-boot for Star Trek.
Casino Royale (Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray] [2006]Casino Royale (Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray] [2006]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £7.35
Daniel Craig IS James Bond. Connery and Brosnan are brilliant but Craig's top now

Buy new: £16.68 / Used from: £15.52
The first Disney film & animated feature and in some ways still the best. The animation is simple by today's standards but beautiful & charming nevertheless
The Powell And Pressburger Collection [DVD]The Powell And Pressburger Collection [DVD]
Buy new: £20.18 / Used from: £38.99
A fabulous set, nobody has ever been able to capture such atmosphere in their films as Powell & Pressburger
Avatar [Blu-ray]Avatar [Blu-ray]
I've just seen this film & it's got to go straight into this list. If you haven't seen it yet then do so ASAP (in 3D). It's brilliant & films really won't be the same again

Buy new: £10.18 / Used from: £8.15
I love TV sci-fi as this list shows & I still remember being knocked out when this series first aired. The CGI has dated but it's still a great show

Buy new: £13.98 / Used from: £10.98
The first Trek to be cancelled & I think a real shame. The show was just getting into it's stride & I miss the seasons which never were
