Gone with the Wind

Margaret Mitchell's bestselling 1936 novel was the most successful period romance novel of all time, bridging historical detail and a family drama. Made into an almost 4 hour feature film, this 1939 classic narrates the story of Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh), the spoiled, manipulative daughter of an Irish immigrant plantation owner. Scarlett is beautiful. She is a strong woman and is ready to take on anything that comes her way. She can overcome all obstacles and be what she wants to be. Scarlett has two sisters, but she is by far the most spirited of the three O'Hara girls.

Doctor Zhivago (Double Disc)

Besides the haunting Maurice Jarre's theme song Lara’s theme (Somewhere my love) that weaves in and out in the movie, the beautiful love story plot against a backdrop of the Russian revolution, it’s a pleasure to revisit this five Oscar winning classic in all its glory, more so when it comes with a Bonus DVD that captures many aspects of the movie from the making of the film, the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of Boris Pasternak ‘Doctor Zhivago’, to the location and press interviews of the main stars.

Viceroy’s House – (English version)

Gurinder Chandha first earned acclaim for her 2002 superhit film ‘Bend it like Beckham’, followed by ‘Bride and Prejudice’, ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’. She now takes on a historical saga ‘Viceroy’s House’ which is also available in Hindi. The film is particularly personal for her, as her grandparents were caught up in the chaos of partition, so what we have is a kind of tribute from the granddaughter to her grandparents which should leave you teary eyed.

Live Aid 1985 – 13th July 1985 – (4 Discs) (Import)

When Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof saw news footage of starvation and deaths in Ethiopia during the fall of 1984, he decided to do something about it. He created Band Aid, a UK-oriented super group whose single Do They Know It’s Christmas? raised millions of pounds for relief work in the affected parts of famine hit Ethiopia in1983–1985. The charity song written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure was a sellout.

Pink Floyd In Concert – Pulse (Double Disc) (Import)

I have been a Floyd fan most of my life so I will be rather biased by saying this is an awesome DVD to own and watch multiple times and definitely it’s a must for any fan of the band. Pink Floyd was also one of the bands I featured in my book ‘The Great Rock Music Quiz Book’ a few years ago.

Queen On Fire - Live at the Bowl - The DVD Collection - (Double Disc) (Import)

Can't get enough of Queen, well who can. If you want to indulge yourself in the incredible luxury of seeing Queen do their thing, this is an excellent DVD to watch. I mean watching each song over and over and never growing tired of them. Of course I'm a real die hard Queen fan.
