Free DVDs: The Telegraph offers two free films - The Odd Couple and A Place in the Sun
Don't miss your free DVDs, 'The Odd Couple' and 'A Place in the Sun', free inside The Telegraph on Saturday 23 and Sunday, January 24.
Two free classic films with The Telegraph - The Odd Couple and A Place in the Sun
We are offering Telegraph readers two free classic films inside the paper this weekend.
Free inside The Daily Telegraph on Saturday, January 23:
The Odd Couple – directed by Gene Saks, 1968
Neil Simon has a special genius for finding hilarity in ordinary people doing everyday things – like two divorced men who decide to share a New York apartment. That's the premise of The Odd Couple, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. The two veteran funny men work together with the precision timing of a vaudeville team, but always with bright spontaneity. Lemmon plays fussy Felix, fastidious to a fault, and proves that cleanliness is next to insanity, while Matthau is Oscar, who wreaks havoc on a tidy room with the speed and thoroughness of a tornado.
An enduring and endearing picture, with the intelligence one usually misses in comedies.
Free inside The Sunday Telegraph on Sunday, January 24:
A Place in the Sun – directed by George Stevens, 1951
George Stevens' stunning adaptation of Theodore Dreiser's novel, An American Tragedy, garnered six Academy Awards and guaranteed screen immortality for Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor. Clift stars as George Eastman, a poor young man determined to win a place in respectable society and the heart of a beautiful socialite (Taylor). Shelley Winters plays the factory girl whose dark secret threatens Eastman's professional and romantic prospects. Consumed with fear and desire, Eastman is ultimately driven to a desperate act of passion that unravels his world forever.
To receive your free classic films, simply buy the newspaper on Saturday, January 23 and Sunday, January 24

I don't have the Odd Couple in my collection.
Big Matthau and Lemmon fan but I always prefered Klugman and Randall on TV.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

Free DVDs: two free Johnny Depp movies
Inside The Daily Telegraph on Saturday, March 20, is Sleepy Hollow and inside The Sunday Telegraph on Sunday, March 21, is What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Sleepy Hollow free inside on Saturday, March 20 starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci
Johnny Depp stars as Ichabod Crane, a man who must confront the legend of the axe-wielding headless horseman in order to win the heart of Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci).
Set in 1799, Sleepy Hollow is based on Washington Irving’s classic tale The Legend of Sleep Hollow. Faithful to the dreamy custom-bound world that Irving paints in his story, Tim Burton’s Oscar-winning film mixes horror, fantasy and romance, and features an extraordinary cast of characters who dabble in the supernatural.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape? free inside on Sunday, March 21, starring Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and Juliet Lewis In the fictional town of Endora, a young Gilbert Grape struggles with the responsibilities and frustrations of his small town life: his overweight mother, his autistic brother, his married lover and the arrival of a new shopping mall that might make him unemployed. A touching, humorous tale from Lasse Hallstrom (The Cider House Roles, Chocolat) that works on many levels and includes an Oscar-nominated performance from Leonardo DiCaprio.
Not available in ROI.

Is What's Eating Gilbert Grape? any good? I'm a big fan of Depp and Caprio, and Lewis when she's acting, not really into her music since she started that side of her career. ![]()
