Richard the Lionheart (2008)Heroes and Villains: Richard the Lionheart
"Richard the Lionheart", King of England was one of the greatest warriors of his age. After a declaration from the Pope to the recapture of the Holy land, Richard takes on the biggest challenge of his life by agreeing to lead a coalition army to win back these sacred lands and take back the city of Jerusalem in the name of God. All of the eyes of the Christian world were upon him, the task is immense, and his adversary Saladin is himself a great leader who controls a huge army vastly outnumbering the Crusaders. This epic struggle between these two'great warrior leaders would shape the future of the world forever. Almost a thousand years ago, 'Richard the Lionheart', King of England arrived in the Holy Land to fight in the Crusades, the first religious wars the world had ever seen. He had made a promise to God and his knights that he would not rest until he had taken back Jerusalem from the Saracens. Richard's impact was immediate - leading from the front and always in the thick of fighting, he beat Saladin in a series of key battles. But during the next few months, Richard's luck changed: his army was bogged down by bad weather and disease and his leadership of the Crusade was repeatedly challenged by rivals. But when Richard discovered the Saracens were besieging the Christian city of Jaffa, although heavily out-numbered he launched a heroic rescue attempt and, with it, a final grasp at redemption. The crusader state would endure for a further hundred years - but Richard's reputation as a warrior king would last forever. - Director:

Prepare for the closest shave of your life in Stephen Sondheim's Victorian horror thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Captured here in its original theatrical stage production whilst on tour in Los Angeles in 1982, the star-studded cast lights up the stage and brings Sondheim's macabre yet humorous musical numbers to life with thrilling effect. George Hearn (Flags of our Fathers) plays Todd, the falsely imprisoned barber whose lust for revenge drives him to murder and the enigmatic Angela Lansbury (The Manchurian Candidate) plays his partner in crime, Mrs. Lovett, who bakes away the evidence in her pie shop. The combined horror and humour bleeds through every pour of the production with brooding menace as Todd serenades his blades in My Friend. All of the now much loved songs are included, the achingly beautiful ballad Johanna, the clever pun-strewn A Little Priest as Mrs. Lovett creates recipes for her pies and intricate choral and ensemble numbers. - Director:
