A brilliant black comedy. A young office worker goes down town to find a girl he met in a diner. The problem is he can't get back up-town and is caught up with all the wackos and weirdos who come out after hours. A paranoic nightmare with a manic surreal quality.

The repetitive use of gags that gradually become more and more over the top and an indefinable surreal quality help make this movie one of the funniest and most original for years - and it's an American teen comedy too!!! If you have not seen it yet watch and let your mates know about it. find out more...

Betty Blue is irresistable: she is a "femme fatale", an emotional H-bomb just waiting to go off. When she falls for a guy who is content with his lot as a handyman, looking after beach side chalets, reads his novel, unpublished, decides he has talent and drags him off to Paris, well...! find out more...

After twenty years on a spaceship whose mission is to destroy unstable planets the crew have all gone pleasantly mad, have taken on a pet alien and now have to contend with a malfunctioning intellectual bomb.

Intersplicing clips of all those old heroes, like Bogart, Ladd, Stanwyck, Milland, Lancaster, Laughton, Cagney, with comic clips of Steve Martin as a keen, but clumsy detective who gets all the good lines, creates both an extremely funny comedy and a whodunnit in the best possible taste. find out more...

One of the best suspense thrillers ever made - often imitated and rarely bettered. It's of the intrepid city adventurers up against in-bred redneck natives mould and the rednecks have the natural advantage, being both horribly cruel and at home in the woods. For anyone who enjoyed "Southern Comfort". find out more...

Italians, Koreans and African Americans are struggling to keep a lid on the tensions within their Brooklyn community, but Sal's pizza parlour provides the perfect social hub for the neighbourhood. However, as a sweltering hot day drags slowly on, racial tensions evolve from petty bickering to full scale violence and ... WHY WON'T THAT GUY TURN OFF HIS FREAKIN' RADIO!!!! Excuse me. A controversial but mature film from Spike Lee. Incendiary, compelling and highly recommended.
