In the year 2018, the world is ruled by corporate powers and one of
the principle forms of entertainment is Rollerball, a fast paced
sport played around a circular track. When the reigning champion
(James Caan) becomes too popular, and refuses the corporation's
request that he retire, the rules of the sport are changed in a
deliberate attempt to get rid of him - the contestants now find
themselves engaged in a game where the main objective is to kill
your opponent.

Schoolboy Kevin is rescued from his dull suburban life when a gang
of dwarves emerge from his wardrobe and carry him off through space
and time. Their travels bring them into contact with some leading
historical figures; John Cleese is Robin Hood and Sean Connery is
Agamemnon in this bizarre comedy made by several Monty Python
members.
Box set featuring six Shakespeare adaptations starring legendary
actor Laurence Olivier. In 'King Lear' (1983), the ageing King Lear
(Olivier) decides to split his kingdom between three daughters -
Regan, Cordelia and Goneril - with each receiving a share
appropriate to the amount of love they feel for him. However, when
the faithful Cordelia refuses to protest her devotion, an enraged
Lear foolishly cedes complete control to the devious remaining
siblings - with terrible results. In 'Henry V' (1944), the young
king (Olivier) puts his rakish past behind him and rallies his men
to invade France, winning against the enemy's superior numbers. The
film was shot in Ireland to avoid the constant bombardment of the
Blitz and Olivier was discharged from the Navy to make the film. In
'Hamlet' (1948), Hamlet (Olivier), Prince of Denmark, is still
mourning over the death of his father and his mother Gertrude's
(Eileen Herlie) subsequent remarriage to Hamlet's despised uncle,
Claudius (Basil Sydney), who is now King. When his father's ghost
appears to Hamlet and reveals that it was Claudius who murdered
him, the young prince vows revenge. However, a fatal flaw in his
character - hesitation - mars his efforts, resulting in murder,
madness and treachery. In 'The Merchant of Venice' (1974), Jewish
moneylender Shylock (Olivier) provides young Antonio (Anthony
Nichols) with a loan, stating that if it is not repaid he will
claim a pound of flesh. When Antonio's bond defaults, Shylock
attempts to claim his grisly compensation in a court of law, but
Portia (Joan Plowright) pleads Antonio's case. In 'Richard III'
(1955), Olivier stars as the cold and calculating king, a
treacherous and untrustworthy fellow who makes plans to kill anyone
who threatens his position. Henry Stafford (Ralph Richardson), the
Duke of Clarence (John Gielgud) and Lady Anne Neville (Claire
Bloom) are just some of those moving in his orbit. 'As You Like It'
(1936) was filmed in England in 1936 when Olivier was still
considered a promising young actor rather than one of the finest
thespians ever, as he would later become, this is his first filmed
Shakespeare performance and thus a milestone in film history.
Guy Hamilton's classic war film looks at how England defended
itself from the German aerial onslaught of the summer of 1940.
Laurence Olivier plays Sir Hugh Dowding, the air chief marshal
whose fleet outmanouevre the Luftwaffe, despite a numerical
disadvantage; and those few to whom so many owed so much are
portrayed by an all-star cast including Michael Caine, Kenneth More
and Ralph Richardson. Despite its pro-British slant, the
authenticity of the film's impressive flying sequences was
guaranteed by the technical advice of Adolf Galland, one of the
Nazi's most celebrated World War 2 pilots.
Period action adventure set in the late 19th century, directed by
Hugh Hudson ('Chariots of Fire'). Christopher Lambert stars as
Tarzan of Greystoke, who as an infant was orphaned on the west
coast of Africa following a shipwreck, and was rescued and brought
up by a family of highly-evolved apes. Twenty years later, a
Belgian hunter, Captaine Phillippe D'Arnot (Ian Holm), encounters
the man who has now become Tarzan, Lord of the Apes when the
ape-man rescues him from a terrible death. When the Captaine finds
evidence to prove that Tarzan is the direct descendant of the Earl
of Greystoke, he takes it upon himself to return the man to
civilization. But Edwardian England is very different to the wilds
of the African jungle, and Tarzan finds himself torn between two
irreconcilable worlds...
