I watched 2 vidoes based on charles dickens novel recent times 'Bleak house' and 'our mutual friend' and reminded me observations/impressions in life. I really enjoyed the depiction of honest human conditions and the climaxes. I was looking for other video's on Netflix for other video productions based on his novels and see many productions for the same novel. Did any body watched any other worth mentioning or just BBC productions of his novels are good ?.

"David Copperfield" is another really good BBC adaption from Dickens. I've also watched and enjoyed the two videos you mention above and have likewise wondered whether there are other good Dickens' movies. Don't know if only the BBC productions are good.

Re: Excellent Whole Movies

Little Dorrit is also great to watch and very emotional. And, Oliver Twist and Great Expectations of which I've enjoyed. Though, the latter was 2011 TV serial with Gillian Anderson as Miss Havisham (disturbingly well-acted, I might add). You can check out other films in the link above by TS.

Little Voice. (british) 1998 Dir. Mark Herman.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU78DKdRggU

From Wiki:
Laura Hoff, who lives in a working-class home in Scarborough, is known as LV for her shyness. She flees reality by mimicking voices like Édith Piaf’s, Judy Garland’s, and Shirley Bassey’s; her love of songs is her only source of strength. Her mother Mari, a profligate woman with countless affairs, jilts a man when her passion wanes.

Billy, an installer who mends their phone, approaches LV by sending her pamphlets. Things improve when Mari is seeing Ray: He hears the girl sing, spots her gift and vows to make her a star, while Mari, who dislikes singing, still doubts her child. When LV is to sing at a nightclub, she visions her father to help perform well.

Ray’s futile attempts to goad LV dash him. Mari, who still scorns her child, prods her against her will. When wrongly accused of arson, LV responds by blaming Mari for her father’s death and her meek nature with her domineering attitude.

Mari is left by everyone; Ray is facing his debt-collectors, and LV is saved by Billy.

THE VISUAL SPLENDOR IN CINEMA. (1) Oldies but goodies

Blow--up. (1966) Dir. Michelangelo Antonioni.

http://vimeo.com/7875387

From Wiki.:

Blowup, or Blow-Up, is a 1966 film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni about a fashion photographer, played by David Hemmings, who believes he has unwittingly captured a murder on film. It was Antonioni's first entirely English-language film.[2]

The film also stars Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, John Castle, Jane Birkin, Tsai Chin and Gillian Hills as well as sixties model Veruschka. The screenplay was by Antonioni and Tonino Guerra, with English dialogue by British playwright Edward Bond. The film was produced by Carlo Ponti, who had contracted Antonioni to make three English-language films for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (the others were Zabriskie Point and The Passenger).

The plot was inspired by Julio Cortázar's short story, "Las babas del diablo" or "The Devil's Drool" (1959),[3] translated also as "Blow Up" in Blow-up and Other Stories, and by the life of Swinging London photographer David Bailey.[4] The film was scored by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. The music is diegetic, as Hancock noted: "It's only there when someone turns on the radio or puts on a record."[5] Nominated for several awards at the Cannes Film Festival, Blowup won the Grand Prix.

The American release of the counterculture-era[6] film with its explicit sexual content (by contemporary standards) by a major Hollywood studio was in direct defiance of the Production Code. Its subsequent outstanding critical and box office success proved to be one of the final events that led to the final abandonment of the code in 1968 in favour of the MPAA film rating system.[7]

THE VISUAL SPLENDOR IN CINEMA. (2) Oldies but goodies.

.
About the film:
This film portrays the decaying of the Sicilian nobility, during "the Risorgimento", the years of the unification of the small kingdoms of the italic peninsula, and form what is now the Italian republic (1815-1870).

From wiki:
The Leopard has circulated in at least four different versions. Visconti's first cut was 205-minutes long, but was felt to be excessive in length by both the director and producer, and was shortened to 195-minutes for its Cannes Film Festival premiere. Visconti then cut the film further to 185-minutes for its official release, and considered this version to be his preferred one. The U.S English-dubbed version, in which the Italian and French actors were dubbed over (e xcept for Burt Lancaster, whose original English voice work is heard), was edited down to 161-minutes by its distributor 20th Century Fox.

Burt Lancaster as Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina
Claudia Cardinale as Angelica Sedara / Bertiana
Alain Delon as Tancredi Falconeri, Don Fabrizio's nephew
Paolo Stoppa as Don Calogero Sedara, Mayor of Donnafugata
Rina Morelli as Princess Maria Stella of Salina, Don Fabrizio's wife.
 
Re: Excellent Whole Movies

There is a very cute African series from Botswana based on the novels of Alexander McCall Smith, The No.1 Ladies'detective Agency. It is a series made by HOB. Very good, with good humor and very sensitive stories. It is a pleasure to see this series, it i cozy and relaxing, gentle and sympathetic. The actors are excellent.

http://www.hbo.com/the-no-1-ladies-detective-agency#/


As a young girl growing up in the African nation of Botswana, Precious Ramotswe was encouraged by her father to follow her dreams, no matter what. Now in her mid-30s, Precious is doing just that — by opening her country's first and only female-owned detective agency for the benefit of those who need help the most.

The first major film/TV project to be shot entirely on location in Botswana, 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' is based on the best-selling novels by Alexander McCall Smith and co-written and executive produced by Richard Curtis and the late Anthony Minghella.

Like McCall's novels, the series chronicles the adventures of Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott), the cheerful, eminently sensible proprietor of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, located in the Kgale Hill Shopping Center on the outskirts of Gaborone. Aided by her efficient yet high-strung secretary Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), Precious investigates a variety of cases, helping townspeople solve mysteries in their lives, from missing children to philandering husbands to con-artist scams. Precious Ramotswe exemplifies the courageous efforts by real-life Africans to improve the quality of their lives while preserving their culture. Though Precious brings a playful, even innocent, exuberance to her job, the "mysteries" she investigates are quite serious, and include child kidnapping, poverty, organized crime, health crises, spousal abandonment and infidelity — ongoing problems that confront many Africans (and Americans) today.

In the lead role of Precious Ramotswe is Jill Scott, the R&B singer/songwriter who has won three Grammy® Awards since 2005, branching out into acting with 2007's 'Hounddog' (her debut, as Big Mama Thornton) and 'Why Did I Get Married?' Other regulars include Anika Noni Rose ('Dreamgirls') as Precious' quirky secretary Grace, Lucian Msamati as her devoted suitor JLB, and Desmond Dube ('Hotel Rwanda') as her neighbor BK, a flamboyant hairdresser. Guest stars include David Oyelowo (HBO's 'Five Days' and 'As You Like It'), Idris Elba (HBO's 'The Wire' and 'Sometimes in April'), Colin Salmon ('Die Another Day'), and Tony® winner John Kani ('Final Solution').
The pilot (which debuted on the BBC in 2008) is the last film directed by Anthony Minghella ('Cold Mountain,' Best Director Oscar® for 'The English Patient'), who co-wrote its script with Richard Curtis (Oscar® nominee for 'Four Weddings and a Funeral,' Emmy® winner for HBO's 'The Girl in the Café'). The pilot was produced by the late Sydney Pollack (Oscar®-winning director of 'Out of Africa' and 'Tootsie'), Timothy Bricknell ('Cold Mountain') and Amy J. Moore.
