This movie shocked audiences back when it was first released, a sympathetic portrayal of two strangers who meet in a train station and have a non-consumated extramarital affair, was too strong for the times. Written by the equally shocking Noel Coward, this is a classic British melodrama.

Good quality weepie about a young woman whose determination to make something of her life tears her away from the home and family she loves - only for fate (or circumstance) to throw her back into its familiar arms right at the wrong time. A sweet love story that hits all the right cues. A fine Sunday afternoon drama.

Nothing more can be said about this classic melodrama from the peak of the Hollywood studio-film era. Hardened cynic Bogart softens when he meets old flame Bergman who is now a refugee in neutral wartime Casablanca. Together they outwit the Germans... and of course there's that famous song. Watch this classic or some day you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...

Bill Hurt is a teacher of the hard of hearing whose growing friendship with a beautiful deaf woman leads him to confront his own prejudices and frustrations about her condition. A brave film for using a real deaf-mute actress in the lead role, only for her to win an Oscar and marry William Hurt !

A rather over-sentimentalised romantic drama about the wife of a war-hero who falls in love with a paraplegic 'Nam vet. The drama is underplayed, and cliched in places, and Jane Fonda, despite a sterling attempt, comes across as just a bit too saintly. The ending adds credibilty though.

Due to the devoutly religious beliefs of his wife, Emma, Charles Darwin kept his evolutionary beliefs under wraps for 20 years. Creation is a finely crafted period melodrama that, while lush and emotionally charged, tells us not a great deal about the man behind the scientist who revolutionised humanities conception of humanity.

A story set around Czech pilots who flew under the banner of the RAF during the second world war this a visually lush and striking film, though the story itself relies rather too heavily on melodrama, providing as it does a picture of cinematic heroism and love lost that firmly shuns any threat of originality. Dark blue World is by the same director as Kolya and though by no means a bad film it stills leaves you slightly disappointed that he did not do more with the subject he had chosen.

Wonderful weepie with the incomparable Bette Davis as the spoilt, sniffy socialite who discovers compassion, and love when she's told she has only months to live. A tear-jerking tragedy with an excellent performance by George Brent as the doctor who brings her some happiness. Nominated for 3 Oscars.
