In 1998 Marco Pantani, the most flamboyant and popular cyclist of his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, a titanic feat of physical and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He was a hero to millions, the saviour of professional cycling following the doping scandals which threatened to destroy the sport. However, less than six years later, aged just 34, he died alone, in a cheap Italian hotel room.

Starsky and Hutch are two very different detectives, one would throw the full force of the law at you for dropping litter, the other would be more likely to mug you. Reluctantly brought together in the hunt for a kingpin behind a revolutionary new form of cocaine (with the help of super-cool, super-chilled Huggy Bear), the two cops lurch from one disaster to another; their relationship developing from one of antipathy, to friendship and ultimately, love. Taking little more than the car and the n find out more...

A superb action packed thriller with Ford as the hounded Dr Kimble who, wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, escapes from a prison bus and tries to find out why she was killed and who the murderer really was.

Clive Owen plays the manically driven British interpol detective determined, along with Naomi Watts' New York DA, to nail the bosses of a powerful international bank that launders dirty money, deals arms and murders to cover its tracks. A classic shoot-up scene takes place in New York's Guggenheim Museum and there's a nifty chase through Istanbul's Grand Bazaar. find out more...
