Dark and brooding sci-fi treat from the director of "The Crow". In a city controlled by "The Strangers" - a colony of spooky bald aliens - everything stops at midnight. The citizens' memories are reprogrammed, and their surroundings altered, with everyone waking up in a state of dazed confusion. Everyone that is, except John Murdoch, (Rufus Sewell) who is somehow immune to the induced collective trance, and who knows that the murder rap he is suddenly, supposedly, facing is a nonsense.

HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971)
Certification15 Our Rating
A death obssessed teenager and a 79 year old woman who lives life to the full gang up together in one of the wittiest black comedies ever made. An inventive, enduring classic which was far ahead of its time. You mean you haven't seen it?

JAM (2000)
Certification18 Our Rating
After the uproar surrounding the paedophile episode of Chris Morris's last show "Brasseye", there was suprisingly little response to the release of his next warped venture - "Jam". Jam is basically a comedy sketch show - it just happens to make light of some very, very, very dark and nasty things. It is also beautifully shot and uses some great techniques which add to the general mood of darkness and evil perfectly, it's obvious a lot of time was spent in post production on this puppy. Some of

MAN BITES DOG (1992)
Certification18 Our Rating
Witty, sickening, fast and above all, controversial. Benoit is a killer, but he does it with style and a smile. Filmed as a documentary, with the crew following Ben on his spree this is at times some of the cleverest spoof material ever filmed. Remarkable and original, but not to everyone's taste.

SNUFF BOX (2006)
Certification15 Our Rating
Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher star as two hangmen. The pair spend their days hanging condemned souls for cash, chasing women, and sitting in their rather posh gentlemen's club sipping whiskey. Shown only once back in early 2006 (and due to the nature of the material, only aired after eleven at night), 'Snuff Box' is one of the most wildly surreal comedies ever conceived and executed for British TV. Seriously cult.

STRANGE DAYS (1995)
Certification18 Our Rating
In a sleazy underworld in the near future (actually 1999) ex-cop Lenny deals in clips of real life experiences taped directly from the cerebral cortex to be lived by other people. When he receives a 'snuff' disc recording the feelings of someone murdering somebody he happened to know he is drawn deeper into a corrupted power hungry world where life is cheap. A frightening vision of an all too possible future set against the backdrop of an LA descending into racial conflict. Original and challeng

TALKING HEADS; STOP MAKING SENSE (1984)
Certification15 Our Rating
A must for all Talking Heads fans. Heck, a must for everyone. This seminal music documentary perfectly encapsulates the spirit and style of the band. The film, like the concert, is a highly stylised, rhythmically rootsy piece of conceptual art. Building from a blank white stage, the concert moves from David Byrne singing Psycho Killer solo with acoustic guitar, introducing more 'Heads' and their instruments song by song. By the end of the gig the stage is fit to burst in an orgy of calypso-fused
