How do you rate a film that was as captivating as this. Yule was a brilliant actor and a man who would show a more gentler side without fear of condemnation.

Mommie Dearest (1981,  PG)
Mommie Dearest
A film that makes you remember celebs are human and can be just as damaged as our neighbours. Mommy Dearest is a testament to this and I hope her daughter found peace. I think Christina released this story at the right time, although any abuser deserves to be punished no matter who they are

Othello (1995,  R)
Othello
This film is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello. Othello has left his hometown "Venice" to fight against the Turks on the island of Cyprus. During the battle, he was accompanied by his faithful lieutenant, Cassio. As the film opens, Othello is returning to Venice from the long fight against the Turks. With much excitement, he meets with his love, Desdemona.

Iago, Othello's trusted companion, envies Othello's life and plans to ruin it by manipulating Othello into believing that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio and is pregnant with Cassio's child. He arouses Othello's suspicion and jealousy gradually, and then plants Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's clothing for Othello to find. When he does, he is convinced of Desdemona's infidelity and, in a rage, decides to kill both her and Cassio.
56
Rebecca (1940,  Unrated)
Rebecca
I CAN WATCH THIS TWICE WEEKLY AND NEVER GET FED UP, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT THIS FILM BUT AM TOTALLY DRAWN.
Its a classic Hitchcock gothic thriller and a compelling mystery (and haunting ghost story) about a tortured romance.
57
Room at the Top (1959,  Unrated)
Room at the Top
Acclaimed as the first British film to treat sex seriously - i.e. to show it as enjoyable rather than sinful - and as one of the first to show the North of England as it 'really was'. In retrospect, this adaptation of John Braine's Bradford-set novel, with its moral melodramatics as Laurence Harvey cheats his way to success (a good marriage) via the death of his 'true love' and the bed of his mistress (Signoret), may not stand the test of time. But it remains intriguing as a sort of Brief Encounter, '50s-style. PH

Flowers in the Attic (1987,  PG-13)
Flowers in the Attic
TRUE STORY THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. TO MANY LITTLE PEOPLE STILL SUFFERING THIS ABUSE
59
The Silence of the Lambs (1991,  R)
The Silence of the Lambs
Anthony Hopkins a great actor and his co-star Jody Foster acted out these roles with such professionalism I was genuinely afraid. I would have loved to have produced a character as Hannibal Lecture, the psychology of his thinking a wonderful piece of entertainingly good.
60
Misery (1990,  R)
Misery
I would love to meet the actress Kathy Bates this film had such an easy plot but her acting allowed it to be taken that step further. Not many films would be this succeesful wth two charactors manipulating most of the scenes.

The Queen (2006,  PG-13)
The Queen
Helen Mirran did a spectacular job in bringing the queen to our screens; Michael Sheen - James Cromwell - Sylvia Syms excellently portrayed the characters they played. There were times I was totally lost in the scenes she played and had to remind my self it was actually not H R H. It was a glimpse into the house of Windsor and the reaction Diana?s death had upon the establishment that rocked its foundations like no other before. I believe the film was a good media surge for H.R.H and to allow the public to see what the royals wanted them too. It threw the queen in a better light and gave the public more understanding. Dianas death coincided with the new Prime Minister, Tony Blair, portrayed excellently, and believable by Michael Sheen. This film is about a moment in history that had phenomenal results when England lost its rose. I am not sure that the publics view of the royals will change after watching this film, and believe personally it was used as a media scrum to help change attitudes of the house of Windsor. Directed by Stephen Frears, who also directed Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity and Dirty Pretty Things, a film worthy to watch if only to gather an insight how the other half lives, and watch Dame Mirran at her best- as she always is??
