Billy Elliot/Sixty Six DVD

Billy Elliot: With 13 BAFTA nominations, Billy Elliot is a heart-warming tale of an 11 year old coal miner's son (Jamie Bell) in the north of England whose whole life is forever changed when he stumbles upon Mrs Wilkinson's (Julie Walters) ballet class during his weekly boxing lesson. Before long, he finds himself immersed in ballet, demonstrating a raw talent never seen before and reaching for a dream that changes the lives of everyone he touches.

Sixty Six: It is the summer or '66, and England is about to be consumed by World Cup Fever. For 12 year-old Bernie though, the biggest day of his life is looming: his Bar Mitzvah, and the day he becomes a man. Bernie's family are increasingly distracted by the threat of losing their business and their wayward older son, and the scale of Bernie's Bar Mitzvah diminishes daily. Worst of all the Cup Final is scheduled to take place on the same day and when England makes it through the qualifying rounds, Bernie's Bar Mitzvah looks set to be a complete disaster. Based on the real life experience of the Director, Sixty Six is a charming comedy with heart-warming qualities reminiscent of Billy Elliot.
