    The English movie studios have a different look and feel than the Hollywood movies and the post-war themes are quite interesting. Thanks for the chance to win these Alexander Mackendrick movies on blu-ray.

    Watched both of the trailers and both of the movies looked really entertaining. I enjoyed the British and Scottish accents. The trailer for “The Maggie” almost seems like an old school Disney film, back when Disney made movies that were made with real people, not just animation, and that were good and could still be enjoyed by adults.
