okay welcome to the collection hopefully I can make you some
recommendations from the catalogue of titles here with my DVDs. By no means
a complete collection there are many titles missing which I'll mention as we go along
we'll go from top to bottom and I've placed them all in some kind of order for us to look
at today. So I'm going to start in the top right section my childhood classics;
start with the Epic Spielberg classic The Goonies. You remember Captain Chunk, Sloth
and One-eyed Willy. It's a story of fun, adventure and danger; absolutely brilliant title there
and one that was on repeat a lot as a child hiding here was Robin Hood and the Prince of Thieves.
Kevin Costner as Robin Hood. The late Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham
and we also had Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman in that one
and we have Hook there with the Robin Williams, Julia Roberts.
A movie with a brilliant soundtrack 80s classic was the original Karate Kid
starring the iconic Pat Morita as Mr Miyagi who took Daniel under his wing and converted him
karate master who defeated the bullies
John Hughes was a brilliant director
here is his classic Christmas tale Home Alone. That goes on every year in the household
One of my favourite actors who we unfortunately lost in 2016 was Gene Wilder
as Willy Wonka; you'll remember the sing-alongs and Charlie's journey; a
story about humility purity and honesty there
we have the remake titled Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp;
and here was Gene Wilder doing what he did best, comedy.
Who can forget Wilder alongside Pryor. Stir Crazy is a side splitter.
They did three or four together; also shout out to See No Evil and Hear no Evil
my favourite actor was alongside Pryor in
Brewster's Millions; John Candy there who were lost in the 90s
and then we move on to the iconic duo of DeNiro and Pesci. We have three Scorsese movies here;
many people had Goodfellas as their number one
and it is up there; there's the late Ray Liotta there. Raging Bull wasn't really up there for me
but what was was the story of greed, power and violence; Scorsese's Casino
in my top five movies ever made; absolutely love that one; highly recommend Casino
we have two movies from the Dollars Trilogy in my top five movies of all time
we have the an with now name: Clint Eastwood as Blondie in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
epic classic spaghetti western, Leone
Fistful of Dollars from the trilogy and we're just missing For a Few Dollars More. Next up a story
of brotherhood; four young boys searching for their dead friend; very poignant story starring
a younger Corey Feldman and I believe Keith Sutherland was in that one as well; very poignant
Okay my favourite actor doing what she does best: comedy. You will remember Uncle Buck; he comes to
babysit the kids; he has his unorthodox methods and own brand of humour. You will recall Bug
from Uncle Buck. John Candy alongside Dan Aykroyd in The Great Outdoors there.
And the classic Candy and Martin in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Neal just wants to get home for Thanksgiving but he encounters Del Griffith
and then the comedy begins; absolute classic with a sad ending sort of as well
next is Se7en. You will know about that one. Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman.
Eddie Murphy alongside Aykroyd. Trading Places
many people's favourite movie is here;
The Shawshank Redemption; no surprises to see Morgan Freeman again
Now from around 2007 or 2008 was the classic American Gangster. It's one of my favourites.
Denzel playing Frank Lucas drug lord and Crowe as the detective trying to catch Lucas.
All-star cast in this one I remember there were a few rappers we had Common,
we had Rza from Wu-Tang Clan and T.I. Brilliant Thriller, all-star cast.
Classic Training Day. Denzel and Ethan Hawke. Another one in my top five or top six
is the iconic Gladiator Russell Crowe epic. Spectacular; lovely music as well in that
another one in the upper echelons for me was Boyz n the Hood; absolute classic. Ice Cube
also a very good actor. Cuba Gooding. Very sad, very eye-opening one there, a classic.
And then something a little bit more subtle from Ice Cube was the comedy Friday;
they made three or four together alongside Chris Tucker. I'm sure you've all seen Friday
and from the Arnie collection one of my favourites: Predator
in the jungle. Predator 2 was not too bad with Danny Glover; that was set in the city;
you'll remember King Willie
and then three more Arnie titles. Unfortunately we're missing Terminator 2 another classic,
but we have the Running Man where Arnie enters the game show with deadly consequences.
Commando; plenty of Arnie one liners in that.
And then True Lies at the end there so that's the top row, let's move on to the second row.
Okay now I'm going to introduce you to my favourite genre; horror. A few horrors here.
There are obviously many missing and I've seen a lot more horrors than this.
Shout out to Paranormal Activities; my favourite series. I've one, two three,
four, Marked Ones, Ghost Dimensions and Next of Kin which is the latest. Very good.
I'm going to start with a 99 movie I believe that really catapulted my favourite found footage style
into the spotlight. The Blair Witch Project.
Every now and then when I'm looking for a scare I'll pop that on and I like horror movies
that could be true, those that leave you thinking that they could be true. Top of many people's list
of horror movies The Exorcist, I'm sure you've all seen The Exorcist and you remember the little girl
We have Halloween hiding there.
One of my favourites starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix; Signs there
if you're looking for an alternative to Paranormal Activity you might want to
consider Paranormal Entity; we have the four here in box set. The first one is very good;
the other three not too bad
30 days of Night. And a movie that I've never been able to watch twice due to the gruesomeness
tile. Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre there; I'm sure you all remember Leatherface
Alien quadrilogy Ridley Scott I believe. Okay if you're looking for something to watch that you've
not seen before may I recommend Hannibal starring The world's best dressed man: Mads Mikkelsen;
so check out the shirts, suits and ties. Also starring Larry Fishburn as the detective
so please give Hannibal a go
a couple of of Bond movies here and then we're into comedy so you have the Simpsons,
Beverly Hills Cop; Eddie Murphy
great 80s music Beverly Hills Cop. A comedy that my father used to watch
and I used to watch with him we used to absolutely love Laurel and Hardy
so we've got four titles there one of them is Them Thar Hills
and at the back we have Be Big. Iconic comedy doe there.Guess Who starring Bernie Mac. Will Ferrell
in Anchorman. The controversial but very funny Borat; his journey from Kazakhstan to America
Dumb and Dumber; Jim Carrey. And my 2000s comedy
or what I grew up on comedy-wise in the early 2000s was Jackass. Shout out to Phil Margera
Scary movie. The Royle Family. White Men Can't Jump. So I want to go back to the horror and
shout out a couple of titles; obviously the Paranormal Activity series is my favourite I want
to recommend VHS series if you've not seen those especially one and two and also [Rec]. Rec which
is a Spanish horror series; you'll enjoy that. And also Patrick Brice's Creep one and Creep two.
Let's move down one section. Okay here we are we have some comedy here ,box sets, a
few random DVD titles of Gambon, Miller and Daniel Craig's Layer Cake; British London gangster type
We have England's test victory at Edgbaston of the Aussies, four fabulous bowlers;
a quartet of Flintoff, Harmison, Hoggard and Simon Jones helped us to defeat the Aussies
One of my favourite rappers: 2Pac Resurrection there
football there, another good film if you've not seen Liam Neeson in The Grey. It's about wolves;
a really good one that
We've got the Fast and the Furious; Vin Diesel. Paul Walker. Eminem's 8 Mile.
Deja Vu Denzel Washington and the life of Ryan there. Now I'm going to move on to my most
favourite sitcom of all time which I still watch to this day; Frasier the complete box set here.
I believe it's actually going to make a comeback which I'm a little bit upset about,
it should be left as it is. So there's Eddie and I remember in the 90s you either watched
Frasier or Friends. Friends was obviously very very popular as well. I fell into the
Frasier category absolutely love that; favourite sitcom of all time. And moving on here we have
one from the horror segment Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece Collection.
Who can forget Psycho and The Birds. Psycho was absolutely fabulous.
Few more titles: Topaz, Vertigo, Rear Window ,The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rope as well as many more
onto some British comedies here and let's go to my favourite
comedy series of all time; suit you sir, rather like making the love to a beautiful
woman was The Fast Show; highly recommended. I also enjoyed Men Behaving Badly as well
I very much enjoyed the trials tribulations and pitfalls of getting old
Richard Wilson was Victor Meldrew
was an absolute classic. And number one for most people and it's up there for me
number one
Only Fools and Horses. You remember Del Boy, Rodney, Uncle Albert and Grandad;
set in Peckham London
and then going back to here you remember Father Jack
he likes to drink. There's Father Jack in the Irish classic Father Ted
okay so that's that section covered; I can't think of this anymore; whether we need to mention but
we're going to move to the final round down here. Okay last but not least the final round so we have
the classic Fresh Prince of Bel-Air here seasons one to four. Shout out to Carlton, Alfonso and
James Avery who we sadly lost Uncle Phil; I'm sure many people could relate to Uncle Phil.
And then moving on to my favourite box set of all time.
I'm sure many of you love The X-Files; absolute class David Duchovny and the
versatile Gillian Anderson. Who can forget the classic episodes Squeeze, Tooms, Ice, Fire,
The Host and my favourite episode I think from season six was Detour. So that was X-Files;
still watch that to this day on Disney Prime but I do have the box sets in case it was to disappear
and I also want to give out a shout to
as well as X-Files my third favourite would be Breaking Bad. So I hope you've enjoyed
the collection and that you can take one or two recommendations from this. If you have
any questions leave them in the comments section I'll answer them and I'll see you again next time
