I think American Dreamer was the first VHS cassette I ever bought! And I watched it multiple times and fell in love with Tom Conti. Still think he's adorable, but the moustache in Shirley Valentine has got to go!

I did have one thing to add to the list...if you haven't seen it, try to get a copy of the Fairytale Theater version of The Princess and the Pea. He's the bumbling but adorable prince opposite Liza Minelli's visiting Princess. They're both hysterical!

yes. particularly in The Norman Conquests, he ws hilarious in that.

Tom Conti is a big asset to this movie. The original play was a one-character play. The casting of Tom Conti -- and the on-location shooting in Greece -- give the movie a big boost.

I just saw the play in Pittsburgh, but I must say that I enjoyed the movie more.
