Hoffman is outstanding, especially in the night club stand up comedy scenes, as the flawed cult NY genius Lenny Bruce, the Beat Generation kid who became a blueprint for a new kind of entertainer with his outrageous anti-establishment routine, his profanities, his attitude toward drugs, his irreverence and general anarchistic demeanour. A must for all budding stand up comedians and fans of good movies.

Winner of the Best Foreign Film Oscar back in 1957, this early Fellini drama also bagged a Best Actress award at Cannes for Giulietta Masina, and was the inspiration for the hit musical "Sweet Charity". Cabiria (Masina) is the archetypal tart with a heart, a street prostitute who never loses her smile or her faith in human nature, despite being rejected and ripped off by the various men in her life. Digitally remastered from a newly restored print which contains a seven-minute scene not seen sin

Ray Winstone makes a mesmerising anti-hero in Gary Oldman's grim portrait of routine domestic violence in working-class Britain. Set in the grim surroundings of a South London tower block, Kathy Burke is heartbreakingly brilliant as the abused and battered wife of Winstone's volatile middle-aged loser. Hard-going but well worth it.

The story of an ambitious young clerk who abandons his real love so he can marry into a rich family. The first of the British "realist" pictures - films that dealt with working class people and the realities of the English class structure - as a change from cosey middle class drama.

Remy is not a well man, a life of hedonism has finally caught up with him and his time in this world is slowly ebbing away. His estranged wife calls his even more estranged, financial wizard son back from London to make up and help ensure dad gets the best treatment. Barely able to conceal his contempt for his father's unrepentant selfishness and womanising, the son nevertheless asks old friends to gather at the deathbed and lighten Rémy's final days. Cue much bilious reflection on changing time

A strange and highly acclaimed story of two women, born at the same time, in Paris and Prague. Despite being of different parents and backgrounds, their lives develop in eerily similar ways, culminating in their gradual subconscious realisation of each others existence. Cryptic and absorbing.

This is a beautifully drawn comic drama about a man 'M' who loses his memory after a near fatal beating from some Helsinki thugs. 'M' wakes up unable to remember where he lives or where he came from. A surreal series of events unfold as he begins to rebuild his life (and brings rock and roll to a small community of salvation army river dwellers). The stark visual style, comedic dead pan dialogue and the film makers delicate compassion for the dispossessed, make this a truly original and heart wa

Jane Campion's outstanding and acclaimed dramatic masterpiece. Hunter turns in an incredible performance as the mute Ada, sold into a marriage with Neill. Her piano is her voice and she must earn it back from Baines, key by key, in a moving emotional bargain. Stunning - the best film of the year.

Three sisters are visited by their deceased mother, a return that doesn't seem to faze them unduly, and her reason for returning? To put right a past deed that has continued to blight the family and, in the process, provide some peace for her troubled children. "Volver" is a witty yet emotionally charged journey of discovery and, while still distinctly an Almodovar film, this is a delightful and beautifully performed pleasure.
