A documentary following the contrasting fortunes of indie darlings The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols, both hell-bent on staging a self-proclaimed revolution of the music industry in the mid 1990s. The friendship between respective founders, Anton Newcombe and Courtney Taylor, escalated into bitter rivalry as the Dandy Warhols achieved major international success while the Brian Jonestown Massacre imploded in a haze of drugs, band in-fighting and unchecked egotism.

One of the most stylish and beautiful films ever made and a cult classic that helped to repopularise French cinema over here. A courier obsessed with a beautiful black opera singer enters an underworld of visual splendour and tortuous emotions where love and desire go a long way to realising dreams. Brilliant!

Phyllis Dietrichson is trapped in a loveless marriage to a man who inspires in her nothing but contempt, but rather than leave him Phyllis decides to kill him and collect on the insurance policy she's had set up with the help of her lover, and naive partner in crime, insurance salesman Walter Neff. The only flaws in their plan are the company's reluctance to pay out so much, the diligence of Neff's increasingly suspicious colleague, (and his 'little man'), and the exemplary ruthlessness of Ph find out more...

Wow. Wow. Wow. John Cameron Mitchell directs and stars as Hedwig, transsexual punk rock goddess in this film adaptation of the highly-acclaimed rock opera. Hedwig tours America with his band, The Angry Inch, a reference to his botched sex change operation, in the wake of young rock icon, Tommy Gnosis. Tommy was a Jesus freak with a fish on his truck when Hedwig met him but soon they became a successful rock duo outgrossing monster trucks in Kansas City. But when it all becomes too much for To

Gus Van Sant's latest masterpiece is very much in a similar vein to his previous two films (Elephant and Gerry). Meditative, ambivalent and beautifully shot, Last Days is a loose retelling of the Kurt Cobain suicide. The dialogue is made up of mumbled non sequiturs and directionless enquiries. The cinematography, as in Elephant, is a mixture of pristine framing, expert use of natural light and patient static observation. Though the pace of the movie is arguably too testing for some viewers, the

You could be forgiven for suspecting that a Finnish film about a truly dreadful Siberian rock and roll band called the Leningrad Cowboys might be rather dull. But in reality this is a very funny spoof - almost as good as the classic "This Is Spinal Tap" - as the Cowboys hit the road.

The cult film based on the classic album by Pink Floyd. Through a series of disturbing flashbacks we follow the story of Pink a rock and roll performer pushed to the brink of madness by moneymen, drugs and the loss of his father to WW2 when Pink was an infant. The story of a man, tortured by his memories, and the wall he builds around himself. Brilliant!

The wee screechy man makes it to the silver screen in this incredibly melodramatic piece of musical romantic drama. Prince plays a musician with a troubled past. His uneasy relationship with his father and his frustration with his musical ambitions propels him on a self destructive motorbike journey through love, gigs, suicide and a wickle bit of sex. The songs are of course still excellent, with the emotionally pornographic title song never failing to raise the hairs on your neck. But it is pla
