Scripted by BAFTA winner Robin Estridge and featuring an outstanding supporting cast – including Zulu legend Stanley Baker – Campbell's Kingdom is a moving story of courage, boasting one of cinema's most thrilling and spectacular climaxes. This classic film is featured in a High Definition transfer made from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
Bruce Campbell, a young Englishman recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, travels to the Canadian Rockies to claim an unexpected inheritance of land from his grandfather.

Percy's Progress

This cult sequel to the box-office hit Percy features Leigh Lawson, Elke Sommer, Judy Geeson, Denholm Elliott and Harry H. Corbett, and is featured here in a brand-new High Definition transfer from the original film elements, in its original aspect ratio.
Determined to conquer his addiction to the opposite sex, Percy takes to the high seas in search of a life of celibacy.

The Nightcomers
Marlon Brando's intense performance dominates this atmospheric, sexually charged feature from a golden age of British horror, directed by Michael Winner and also starring Stephanie Beacham in her first major film role. Visually stunning in a High Definition transfer from the original film elements, The Nightcomers sketches a prequel to Henry James' classic Gothic novella The Turn of the Screw, with Brando in typically compelling form as the servant whose disturbing, magnetic presence exerts a corrupting hold over the occupants of a country estate.
Following the death of their parents, Flora and Miles are left in the care of repressed governess Miss Jessel, and housekeeper Mrs Grose. But it is Peter Quint, the malevolent Irish servant, who truly rules the household; Miss Jessel, equally repulsed and fascinated by Quint, is drawn into a secret sado-masochistic affair with him, while Flora and Miles are increasingly in his thrall...

The Professionals: MkIII
Bodie and Doyle need little by way of introduction, but if the series had at all escaped you since its debut in 1977 their boss George Cowley, head of CI5, couldn't put it more succinctly than his opening gambit: "anarchy, acts of terror, crimes against the public. To combat it I've got special men – experts from the army, the police, from every service. These are The Professionals".
Featuring the perfect ensemble cast of Martin Shaw, Gordon Jackson (completely against type here) and the much-missed Lewis Collins, the series ran for 57 action-packed episodes and made an immediate impact on British and then international audiences which has sustained 35 years. But the series has never looked this good. Painstakingly restored from the camera-original negatives the series could have been made yesterday. No matter how many times you have seen The Professionals, this is a new experience, like seeing it for the first time.
