Went The Day Well? (1942) DVDWent The Day Well? (1942) DVD
A masterpiece of wartime film making this 1942 film directed by Alberto Cavalcanti packs as many punches now as it did when it was first shown.

The film, based on a story by Grahem Green, is of a village infiltrated by German parachutists disguised as British soldiers and the slow discovery of the sinister truth.
(My No.1 favourite wartime film - Ian)

Mrs Miniver (1942) - DVDMrs Miniver (1942) - DVD
In 1942, 'Mrs Miniver' not only garnered six Academy Awards including Best Picture - but also greatly assisted the war effort!

Following the fortunes of an English housewife and her family as Britain goes to war with Germany 'Mrs Miniver' gives a rather middle class but certainly enchanting view of life on the home front.

The Great Escape - 2 Disk Special Edition DVDThe Great Escape - 2 Disk Special Edition DVD
In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft North, a maximum security prisoner-of-war camp designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. In doing so, however, the Nazis unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history - brilliantly portrayed here by Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson and James Coburn - who worked on what became the largest prison break-out ever attempted.

A classic 1963 film with the added bonus of loads of special features, documentarys etc. A real favourite.

His Girl Friday - DVDHis Girl Friday - DVD
Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy
