The Amazing Mr. Blunden

Movie night with Gertie. Much loved and delivers. You can see the cast are really enjoying themselves. But it's not The Railway Children.

This movie is a classic fantasy film about two children who travel back in time to save the lives of two children who died in a fire 100 years ago. Two siblings, Lucy and Jamie, get the shock of their lives when they encounter the ghosts of two children in the garden of the home there mother is overseeing. Sara and Georgie are two young ghosts that died in a fire at the house nearly 100 years ago. They desperately need help and cannot find it in their own time so they find a recipe that enables them to travel back in time. They ask Lucy and Jamie to make the potion in order to travel to their time to help save their lives. This movie is also nice because it has an interesting plot twist at the end and it is also one of the few movies in which you get to see Diana Dors act instead of just look nice. It is a thrilling movie but out of print and hard to find. I highly recommend it.

This movie takes me back to my childhood, remembering how I used to sit in front of the tv and watch it. I recently watched it in dvd and I live it just as much as I did then. It's a child's ghost story, and all ages will love this movie. Shame they don't make movies like this now.

Is, and always will be, my favourite movie of all time. I can't tell you why, it just is. Worth a watch, time and time again.

Two children time travel from the year 1815 to a hundred years in the future. Their purpose is to foil a crime committed by a greedy relative and his in-laws. This should be a good picture for kids to watch, I think they would find it exciting. I liked the little spin the writers put in at the film's ending.

This movie worried me at first with a bit of a slow start, but it quickly changed into a wonderfully imaginative fairy tale. The characters are very good and the acting feels the period. Grahm Crowden from the British Sitcom "Waiting for God" does a very good job as well. Everyone should give this one a try. The concept is very intriguing and holds your interest well. I really loved the idea surrounding the ghosts and how they got where they were. The story is really one that I would love to share with my whole family. This one feels like a Dickens Narrative due to the time period it is set in, which adds to the overall feel and believability.

Saw this film when I was a child, and it still gives me the same lil shudders and I STILL giggle in the right places... its a good old story with the sweetest ending EVER. It really encapsulates the film genre of the 1970's and the old way of telling ghost stories which seems to have been lost in modern films. This film is good for the whole family and actually deals with death and the afterlife in a manner that makes you talk about it afterwards

The very first time I saw The Others my mind rushed immediately back to this gem...very much a similar premise, people from different periods of time appear to each other as ghosts. It's a nice little film. It's long been my wife's favourite, and its available on DVD from Feb 24, 2003 in the UK which is ooh so cool :)
