Save £10.50 The Spy Who Came In From The Cold1965, Martin Ritt, DVD This adaptation from John le Carre’s novel perfectly captures the rather seedy, down-at-heel atmosphere of Cold War espionage and also features one of Richard Burton’s best performances as the apparently washed-up spy Leamas.

Save £4.00 Wagner (Burton)1984, Tony Palmer, DVD Though in great pain and too old to be really convincing in Wagner's young revolutionary period, Burton is perfect as this smouldering genius ages, with his peremptory air and abrupt, biting speech. The film tries to rival The Ring in its length ...

Save £6.00 The Taming of the Shrew (Zeffirelli, 1967)1967, Franco Zeffirelli, DVD And who better to star in this tale of love and feuds and ego? Fabulous to look at and fast moving, and if the quarrelling is slightly more convincing than the tenderness, then that only adds to the fun.
£5.99 RRP: £19.99
Save £14.00 Anne Of The Thousand Days1969, Charles Jarrott, DVD A lavish costume drama telling of King Henry VIII's infatuation with Anne Boleyn. Burton plays the King who defied the Vatican and established himself as head of the Church of England in order to obtain a divorce from his wife.
