Pet Shop Boys Movies

This comprehensive music video collection, which assembles 41 promo clips from the British synth pop duo the Pet Shop Boys, was released in conjunction with a two-disc greatest-hits collection of the same name. Spanning the years 1985 to 2002, PopArt includes 37 original videos, plus alternate versions of four videos. It does not include clips for "Miracles" and "Flamboyant," two new songs recorded especially for the album. Notable clips -- all with digitally remastered audio and video -- include "West End Girls," "Always on My Mind," "Go West," "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" and "New York City Boy." The DVD also includes a commentary track of journalist Chris Heath in conversation with bandmembers Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. In addition to several previous concert movies and video collections, the Pet Shop Boys starred in the 1988 feature It Couldn't Happen Here. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Dusty Springfield was quite simply one of the very best vocalists to emerge from the British pop music scene; blessed with a superb voice and the smarts and soul to use it to its best advantage, Springfield scored a string of hits on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1960s with such classics as "Wishin' and Hopin'," "I Only Want to Be With You," and "Son of a Preacher Man," and enjoyed a comeback in the 1980s thanks to her collaboration with techno-pop duo the Pet Shop Boys, "What Have I Done to Deserve This." Dusty Springfield: Full Circle -- Life & Music is a documentary that offers an in-depth look at Springfield's life and career, with Dusty herself offering a perspective on the events, as well as featuring a wealth of performance footage and vintage television appearances (including rare film of Springfield performing with Jimi Hendrix). Popular comediennes Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French play host for the documentary; other interview subjects include Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, and Elvis Costello. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This half-hearted avant garde feature is a thinly disguised exploitation feature for the British synth-pop duo The Pet Shop Boys (Neil Tenant and Chris Lowe). They travel though London where they encounter a variety of colorful characters. Several songs appear as well, including the title track, "West End Girls", and a song with the legendary Dusty Springfield, "What Have I Done To Deserve This?". ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
