Guardian 1000 Must See (2007)
Nothing more can be said about this classic melodrama from the peak of the Hollywood studio-film era. Hardened cynic Bogart softens when he meets old flame Bergman who is now a refugee in neutral wartime Casablanca. Together they outwit the Germans... and of course there's that famous song. Watch this classic or some day you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...

SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950)
CertificationPG Our Rating
All time classic wonderfully filmed by Wilder, featuring great performances from Holden, as a bankrupt screenwriter seeking refuge, and Swanson, a faded star in a crumbling mansion, who pins her hopeless hopes of a comeback on the writer. Deliriously dark and nightmarish masterpiece.

THE CONVERSATION (1974)
Certification15 Our Rating
Tense mystery thriller with Gene Hackman as an ace surveillance expert who begins to question the morality of his own work. Listening in on a young couple during an apparently routine job, he realises he's involved in something far more sinister than he thought. Gripping and thought provoking.

THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS (1957)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Film Noir from the Ealing funny man! Mackendrick's US debut is a rat-trap of a movie in which a vile NY gossip hustler (Tony Curtis) grovels for his 'Mr Big' (Burt Lancaster). Lancaster plays JJ Hunsecker, a monstrous, amoral and incestuous news columnist obsessed with wrecking his kid sister's romance. The dark streets stink of corruption and fear. Amoral and awesome with a great jazz soundtrack.
