...Christopher Columbus: The Discovery and 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Both were epic in nature, ambitious in execution and both were miserable failures. The latter in particular sticks out because it was directed by Ridley Scott, the director of Alien, Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise.

...others such as, Sailors Hornpipe Rule Britannia and Pomp and Circumstance Make this CD more than a CD; a Patriotic symbol of our nation.If you have never had the chance to attend the Last Night of the proms then i suggest you do.
