|1-Classic Film Review by dave diamond of the invaders As most of the films being produced today re the usual run of the mill flicks ive decided to review the films that are truely great,they may not feature the likes of sly stallone or arnie,but they`re much better films. message to everyone at nfa-no i`m not another barry norman! LES MISERABLES available on the `4th` video format priced at £5.99 made in 1978 Based in france of 1815 this tells the story of jean val jean,a woodcutter who`s fed up of starving and steals a loaf of bread,he`s caught by the police and thrown in jail for five years despite his pleas. From here we see the brutal truth of the prison,the guards and the prisoners working themselves to the bone.During the film,jean who`s played by richard jordan of logans run,meets his nemisis anthony perkins of psycho fame and feuds with him,swearing he`ll escape and will one day kill him.Needless to say he escape but gets caught leading to another 10 years imprisoment!! After successfully escaping the second time,he steals some silver (you`d think he`d learned his lesson) for money but is caught by the priest that lives there,he lets him have the silver and takes away the evil thoughts from jean,telling him that whatever he gets for the silver he must use the money for good,jean agrees and becomes mayor of a new town unaware that the chief of police (perkins) is still out to get him. Along the next fifteen years we meet various people who help the story move along. A truely fantastic film which is filmed perfectly,the acting by everyone is superb especially perkins and jordan who excell themselves,the thing you need to remember about films like this is that its of a serious nature and joking around must be left outside the dressing room. Get it now,even if your not a oldie fan its worth watching. OTHER UNMISSABLE FILMS AVAILABLE ARE...
