From the comedy team that created the BBC's Absolutely Fabulous comes the series that started it all. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star in this Britcom-pilation of skits, sketches, interpretive dance routines, and parodies sporting clever writing and outrageous makeup and costumes. At the Movies takes a comedic stab at some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, including Misery, Silence of the Lambs, Thelma and Louise, and Alien, with the film parodies intertwined with skits about the Mamas and the Papas, Guns N' Roses, Shakespeare's London, Merchant-Ivory dramas, and compulsive catalog shoppers, as well as poking fun at the Royal Family, parking garage attendants, airport security, and office delivery men. Bonus material includes a side-splitting rendition of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (French and Saunders' metamorphosis into Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor--not to mention Natalie Portman and Yoda--is nothing short of a makeup miracle). Also newly available at the same price is Gentlemen Prefer French & Saunders. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (L. Stevens)
