1	Shirley Valentine (1989) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Pauline Collins, Tom Conti, Alison Steadman, Julia McKenzie, Joanna Lumley Since its London and Broadway stage debut, playwright Willy Russell's Shirley Valentine has proven an excellent showcase for any number of talented actresses (Loretta Swit won the 1989 Sarah Siddons Award for her work in the Chicago production). In the film version of Shirley Valentine, Pauline Collins re-creates the role that had previously ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $11.15!

When an American spacecraft disappears during a mission, it's widely believed to have been intercepted by the Soviet Union, and after a Russian space capsule similarly goes missing, most consider it to be an act of American ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.32!
3	Educating Rita (1983) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Michael Caine, Julie Walters, Michael Williams, Maureen Lipman, Jeananne Crowley A trio of Oscar nominations and a pair of Golden Globes went to this acclaimed romantic comedy-drama based on the play by Willy Russell.

4	Sink the Bismarck! (1960) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Kenneth More, Dana Wynter, Carl Möhner, Laurence Naismith, Geoffrey Keen, Karel Stepanek The Bismarck was the fabled German battleship of World War II. This film traces the "life" of the Bismarck from its launching (courtesy of newsreel footage) through its many battles and narrow escapes, concluding with its far-from-inevitable sinking in the Spring of 1941. Since one couldn't expect a ship to carry a 97-minute movie, the story ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.04!
5	The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curd Jürgens, Richard Kiel, Caroline Munro Though not Ian Fleming's most famous James Bond novel, 1962's The Spy Who Loved Me was distinguished by the unique device of telling the story from the heroine's point of view; in fact, Bond doesn't make an appearance until the book is two-thirds over. This would hardly work in the film world's Bond franchise, so the original austere plotline of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Moonraker (1979) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Roger Moore, Lois Chiles, Michel Lonsdale, Richard Kiel, Bernard Lee In this adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1955 novel, James Bond (Roger Moore) must thwart Sir Hugo Drax (Michel Lonsdale), who plans to wipe out all of humankind and replace it with a super race that he has cultivated in a massive space station. The girl in the case is American secret agent Holly Goodhead, intelligently played by Lois Chiles. "Jaws," ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.78!
7	The Adventurers (1970) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Bekim Fehmiu, Charles Aznavour, Alan Badel, Candice Bergen, Tommy Berggren Based on Harold Robbins' bestseller, The Adventurers stars Yugoslav heartthrob Bekim Fehmiu as Porfirio Rubirosa clone Dax Xenos.

He romances middle-aged widow ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $9.23!
8	Operation Daybreak (1976) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Timothy Bottoms, Karel Curda, Martin Shaw, Joss Ackland, Nicola Pagett, Anthony Andrews Also titled The Price of Freedom, Operation Daybreak is a retelling of the terrible consequences attending the assassination of Nazi-occupation leader Richard Heydrich.

9	Damn the Defiant! (1962) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Alec Guinness, Dirk Bogarde, Anthony Quayle, Tom Bell, Maurice Denham, Nigel Stock Damn the Defiant! is an 18th-century seafaring drama from director Lewis Gilbert. Alec Guinness plays the stern but compassionate captain of a British warship, engaged in the Napoleonic wars.

10	Alfie (1966) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Michael Caine, Shelley Winters, Millicent Martin, Julia Foster, Jane Asher Michael Caine's first starring role was a foray into dramatic irony, scripted by Bill Naughton from his novel and play. Alfie (Caine) is a charming, rogueish Cockney who cannot get his fill of women. He uses them without shame or malice, jumping from one promiscuous female's bed to another without much thought or feeling. Of course, Alfie's not as ... see all copies from $2.27! new only from $7.12!
11	Stepping Out (1991) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Liza Minnelli, Shelley Winters, Ellen Greene, Julie Walters Stepping Out might be considered a textbook exercise in screenwriting cliche: take Mavis Turner (Liza Minnelli), a woman who "coulda been a contenda" had she pursued her dreams of appearing on Broadway; give her an evening job at a converted church teaching tap; mix in a motley crew of left-footed cardboard-cutouts too rhythmically challenged for ... see all copies from $4.31!
12 view cover	Haunted (1995) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Aidan Quinn, Kate Beckinsale, Anthony Andrews, John Gielgud, Anna Massey Adapted from the novel by James Herbert, this subtle, melancholy British chiller owes a great deal to Henry James's The Turn of the Screw. The story opens with a chilling prologue in 1905 England, in which a young boy fails to prevent the accidental drowning of his sister. As a young man, David (Aidan Quinn) is still tormented by guilt and remorse ... see all copies from $4.95!

Four Brits are also visiting the kibbutz: two ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.72!
14 view cover	Cast a Dark Shadow (1955) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Dirk Bogarde, Mona Washbourne, Margaret Lockwood, Kay Walsh, Kathleen Harrison, Robert Flemyng Dirk Bogarde digressed from his usual lightweight image to portray a smarmy murderer in Cast a Dark Shadow. He kills his first wife (Mona Washbourne), hoping to claim her inheritance. Surprise! The inheritance is a myth. Thus Bogarde sets his sights on barkeeper Margaret Lockwood, whom he knows to be heavily insured. But Lockwood is possessed of a ... see all copies from $7.83! new only from $14.99!
15 view cover	Carve Her Name with Pride (1958) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Virginia McKenna, Paul Scofield, Jack Warner, Denise Grey, Alain Saury Carve Her Name With Pride is based on R.

18 view cover	The Sea Shall Not Have Them (1954) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Michael Redgrave, Dirk Bogarde, Bonar Colleano, Jack Watling, Anthony Steel The Sea Shall Not Have Them is our candidate for the most dramatic title of any British World War II film. Happily, the film itself upholds the promise of its name. The focus of the story is a dramatic rescue at sea, which consumes well over a third of the running time. A British bomber carrying high-ranking officer Michael Redgrave, commander ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
