A strung-out, bizarre and excellent sixties romp. The action is hectic, with various vaguely connected scenes mixed together in a colourful and tuneful mish-mash. Watch out for some excellent digs at the Beatles (listen to Mike Nesmith's whistling in mirror/eye scene). Jack Nicholson produces!

A truly monumental concert with over twenty tracks performed at "Cow Palace" San Francisco in 1978 and given the (to some dubious) distinction of being "one of the best live performances of the last twenty years" by Rolling Stone magazine in 1987.

PINK FLOYD: LIVE AT POMPEII (1972)
CertificationE Our Rating
The Mighty Floyd invade the archaeological haven of Pompeii and raise psychadelic hell in the ampitheatre! Rock! This 1972 documentary film battles through the ever-present haze of pretentiousness that surrounds the band to give a creative portrayal of what the Floyd are 'about' in their live shows. The music is extended (the magnificent 'Echoes' in particular acts as a behemoth bookend to the show), the setting impressive and the boys are at the top of their game (this is the year before Dark

ROCKERS (1977)
Certification15 Our Rating
A Trenchtown variant on Robin Hood with Rasta drummer Horsemouth taking on the local minor league Mafia - but that's not what this cult Jamaican classic's about. It's Rastas, ganja and reggae, and it's still cool after all these years. With a soundtrack including Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Third World, Jacob Miller and The Inner Circle, The Heptones, Gregory Isaacs, Junior Murvin and the Abyssinians.

TENACIOUS D IN THE PICK OF DESTINY (2006)
Certification15 Our Rating
A musical epiphany on Venice beach mould JB and KG into quite possibly the greatest rock band the world has never wanted to know, but when the people fail to fully, or even vaguely, grasp the beauty of their art the lads decide to embark on an epic journey to find the ‘pick of destiny', a mythical string plucker that bestows rock immortality on all who possess it. If you're already a convert to the way of The D then nothing I say will influence you, if you ain't, then let your mind run free, muc

THE BEATLES: YELLOW SUBMARINE (1968)
CertificationU Our Rating
The nearest you'll ever get to a psychedelic experience without having to crawl around fields picking poison fungi or buying dodgy stuff at festivals. Still a brilliant cartoon after all these years, a trip through the design styles of the 60s - the soundtrack's not bad either!

THE HARDER THEY COME (1972)
Certification15 Our Rating
Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff more than holds his own in this now cult-classic. Jamaican country boy Ivan travels to Kingston with dreams of becoming a big recording star, but his naive optimism is gradually destroyed by the web of corruption he finds there. Great story and a stonking soundtrack.
