A Christmas Carol (Colorized)
»rank: 2152
0ur opinion: :This is the desert-island choice of the many versions of A Christmas Carol, with a magnificent, full-bodied portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge by Alastair Sim that leaves everyone else in the dust. Lean and direct, this film's version of the story wastes no time trying to impress viewers with the magical nature of the spirits' visitations. Director Brian Desmond Hurst keeps the focus on Scrooge's life story, beautifully simplifying and underscoring the theme of lost women with a haunting musical refrain from the folk song 'Barbara ...

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (30th Anniversary Edition)
»rank: 2201
0ur opinion: essential video:Having proven itself as a favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971.

Who can forget those diminutive 0ompah-Loompah workers who recite rhyming parental warnings ...

Carangi appeared on many more covers of Vogue (French, British, ltalian, and American) and Cosmopolitan before dying of complications from AlDS (she was an lV heroin user) in 1986. Now most people recognize Carangi's name from this powerful HB0 film ...
