| "In the winter of 1939 to 40, tiny Finland held back the might of the Soviet army which stormed the Finland borders with massive tank and artillery firepower, a large air force and well armed infantry. The war continued relentlessly for 105 days, in extreme conditions, through an exceptionally cold and hostile winter. Against all the odds the Finns held strong and this historic battle has come to be known as the Finnish Miracle. Made in 1989, The Winter War was the first real, bloody, hard-hitter of a WW2 movie. It inspired a new generation of war movie realism by recounting war from the soldiers point of view; exposing their lives, their feelings and the visceral experiences of the front-line.

| "The Wipers Times (BBC) (DVD)" |
| "In the bombed-out ruins of Ypres in 1916, Captain Fred Roberts and Lieutenant Jack Pearson discovered a printing press. They used it to produce The Wipers Times a humorous, satirical and subversive trench newspaper which proved hugely popular with soldiers - though not entirely with their superior officers. Braving constant bombardment and bitter fighting, The Wipers Times survived the Somme and made it through to the end of the war. Roberts and Pearson were highly decorated - yet were unrecognised in their lifetime. The Wipers Times is a story of the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity. The Wipers Times stars Ben Chaplin (London Boulevard, Me and Orson Welles, The New World), Julian Rhind-Tutt (The Hour, Green Wing), Michael Palin (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life Of Brian), Steve Oram (Sightseers, Kill List) and Emilia Fox (Silent Witness, Merlin) and is directed by Andy de Emmony (Love Bite, West Is West, The Bletchley Circle), produced by David Parfitt (My Week with Marilyn, Parades End, Shakespeare In Love) and written by Ian Hislop (A Bunch of Amateurs, My Dads The Prime Minister) and Nick Newman. shed a tear ***** - The Telegraph It was a wonderful tale waiting to be retold The Daily mail An extraordinary true story...Funny, sad, and parculiliarly British.

| "The Wiz (DVD)" |
| "Directed by Sidney Lumet (Serpico) and penned by Joel Schumacher (Batman and Robin), this lavish 1978 adaptation of the Broadway hit The Wiz was the biggest production filmed in New York City up to that point, utilising the newly revamped Astoria Studios and locations around the city. Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, and Ted Ross (reprising his Tony-winning role as the Lion) star in this Academy Award-nominated musical for the whole family. The Wiz is probably the grandest take on L. Frank Baum's classic tale The Wizard of Oz. The production team created sets with a sense of urban magic and spectacle: a New York subway station literally comes to life, and the massive plaza between the World Trade Centre towers is transformed into the Emerald City, featuring nearly 400 dancers with three costume changes. Like all good musicals, the Quincy Jones arrangements are highly hummable long after viewing (especially the funky 'Ease On Down the Road' and the inspirational 'Brand New Day'. In an era before MTV, the camera stays nearly stationary as Ross and Lena Horne vocally soar through their numbers. Their stage-like performances successfully make the leap to film, making The Wiz a testament to their singing talents and star presence. The then-thirtysomething Ross raised some eyebrows playing the traditionally teenaged Dorothy, but she and her supporting cast (including Richard Pryor as the Wiz) carry the tunes with an infectious verve that will appeal to people of all ages Running Time: 127 minutes Region: Region 2 Release Date: 7 Sept. 2015"

| "The World of Liberace (DVD)" |
| "In 1976 the pianist, entertainer and one of the biggest stars of the day, published a coffee table book about his collection of homes, jewellery and costumes called The Things I Love. This DVD is nothing more-nor-less than precisely that, as told to the acclaimed film-maker Tony Palmer. Liberace himself takes us on a guided tour of his Hollywood and Palm Springs homes and his treasured possessions. A celebrated connoisseur of antiques, Liberace tells us about the origins and restoration of his extraordinary collection of crystal chandeliers, rugs, furniture, automobiles, pianos and of course the gold candelabras. He talks about the costumes, jewellery and sense of theatre that earned him in his lifetime the title of 'Mr Showmanship'. Within a very few years, Wladziu Valentino Liberace sprang from West Allis, Wisconsin, to become America's first television matine idol and one of the most successful nightclub performers of all time. He popularised 'classical music' for the general public, and earned the kind of devotion and admiration that became the envy of many, more 'straight', performers. But to do this he worked phenomenally hard, was a devoted family man and above all an accomplished pianist. Palmer's DVD is testament to a remarkable life, with deeply felt observations about his self-image, marriage, children, the press and religion. ""The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys,"" he quips. And although Liberace took evident delight in collecting beautiful things, it is clear that it was people and the love they provided that really mattered to him. He was unique, and remains so, and this DVD is a celebration of that fact. About the Director Tony Palmer's vast filmography of over one hundred films ranges from early works with The Beatles, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa (200 Motels), to the famous portraits with and about Walton, Britten, Stravinsky, Maria Callas, John Osborne, Leonard Cohen (Bird on a Wire), Margot Fonteyn and Menuhin. His 7 hour 45 minutes film on Wagner, starring Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier and Vanessa Redgrave, was described by the Los Angeles Times as 'one of the most beautiful films ever made'. Among over 40 international prizes for his work are 12 Gold Medals at the New York Film ; Television Festival, as well as numerous BAFTA (British Academy of Film ; Television) EMMY ; GRIERSON nominations and awards. An honorary citizen of both Athens and New Orleans, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society ; DLitt., he is the only person to have won the PRIX ITALIA twice.
