The Tall Guy [DVD]The Tall Guy [DVD]

The first Curtis rom-com. A bit uneven and not as cinematic as the later films, but a fascinating look at where the whole one-man-genre began.

Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.43
Atkinson is delightfully, brilliantly goofy and the script is witty and intelligent. Not very cinematic, it feels like a 90 minute TV movie, but fun.
Bean: The Script BookBean: The Script Book by Richard Curtis
Buy used from: £0.01
Nicely illustrated, with an introduction by Curtis and numerous deleted scenes. This one suffers, however, from the fact that most of Mr. Bean's gags are stunningly unfunny described dryly on the page
Bean: The AlbumBean: The Album by Original Soundtrack
Buy used from: £0.01
An odd mix of pop songs, with film dialogue played over their beginnings and ends. Worth picking up only for the lovely orchestral Bean Theme by regular Curtis collaborator Howard Goodall

Buy used from: £9.99
Richard Curtis obviously loves Christmas. Lenny Henry is hysterical as a genie, let out of his bottle after 2000 years, who revels in the excesses of modern life while granting Alan Cumming's wishes
