Donat is perfectly cast as the lovable teacher, in this classic British drama, reminiscing about his career and personal life over the decades, his rise from lowly Latin master to headmaster of a public school and the joys and tragedies which moulded his transformation. The film won a staggering seven Academy Awards. Hugely enjoyable.

The best version of the Dickens story by a long way, with Alistair Sim playing cantankerous old git Scrooge. An all star cast also features Michael Hordern, George Cole and Jack Warner. Essential viewing at all times of the year.

THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (ERROL FLYNN) (1938)
CertificationU Our Rating
One of the truily great adventure movies, the type that Star Wars paid tribute to, and an example of what the large studios could produce. Glorious colour, sumptuos sets, and a brilliantly choreographed climatic sword fight between Flynn and Rathbone.
