DOWN BY LAW (1986)
Certification15 Our Rating
A brilliant movie from the same director as "Stranger Than Paradise". Our three low-life heroes escape from jail into the Louisiana swamps and find that they might have been better off inside. Off-beat, very stylish, funny and just brilliant!

DOWN IN THE VALLEY (2005)
Certification15 Our Rating
Tobe is a teenage girl in a dysfunctional American family, but one that appears both realistically normal and deeply embedded in suburbia. This is the landscape of Spielberg, but the family, inadequate father, rebellious daughter and quasi-autistic stepson, seems alienated and distant from the world around it. Into this milieu drifts Harlan, a young man whose roots are at least partially fantasised, part cowboy part movie cliche, and whose reality remains unclear. The pair embark on a romance th

DRUGSTORE COWBOY (1989)
Certification18 Our Rating
Matt Dillon gives his best performance to date as Bob, a streetwise junkie, who, with his wife Diane and a couple of spaced-out cronies, travel smalltown America staging robberies to finance their insatiable cravings. A gritty and compelling insight into the harsh realities of drugs and life.

ELEPHANT (2003)
Certification15 Our Rating
Gus Van Sant's take on the shooting at Columbine High School is a masterpiece. Using a cast of unprofessional actors, he has created a unique and highly affecting film, rich in atmosphere and style. The non-linear narrative follows the experiences of the key characters, giving a different perspective of events in the short time frame (most of the events shown in the film take place in about an hour). While the tension in the film obviously comes from the impending violence, the film's strongest

FULL FRONTAL (2002)
Certification18 Our Rating
Seven strangers seven stories, lots of emotions, both physically and emotionally expressed and all with one mutual strand of commonality. Full Frontal is a return to indie roots for Soderbergh, the director behind studio monsters such as Traffic and Ocean's Eleven and if not entirely successful it still makes for an intriguing, engrossing and often amusing observation of the animals that inhabit the Hollywood zoo. A bizarrely brilliant performance from the always fabulous Catherine Keener as a n

I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (1996)
Certification18 Our Rating
Valerie Solanas was a nutter cum radical feminist who tried to hang around with the Warhol crowd, became the sole member of SCUM, the Society for Cutting Up Men, and became famous for more than 15 minutes for firing the bullets from which Andy Warhol never recovered. Right on sister, that's art. This is a fab little pic from the Killer Films troupe. Laced with psychedelia, trimmed with gritty realism, first person narratives and cameos, this is a must watch if only for Taylor's brilliant protray
