BAD SANTA (2003)

Certification15 Our Rating

Willie T Stokes just isn't a nice man, but then he doesn't really need to be because he's an embittered, amoral safe cracker masquerading as a department store Santa, so lovability would probably be a handicap. When Willy and his midget partner settle in for another big festive score, they find themselves having to deal with a keen eyed store detective and a cute kid who thinks he's the real deal, not a problem you would think, but is Willie in danger of finding himself a conscience?. Crude, lew find out more...

BANDE A PART (1964)

Franz and Arthur team up with an innocent young girl, Odile, and decide to plan a heist, but as the trio cruise the bars and cafes of Paris hatching the perfect crime it becomes apparent, in their less than professional approach, that everything may not go as smoothly as at first hoped. The Outsiders is a tongue-in-cheek homage to early American pulp crime flicks, fast paced and free spirited, Godard's film retains much of its freshness and excitement. find out more...

BICYCLE THIEVES (1948)

Perhaps the most influential period in cinema history was the Italian neo-realism period of the late 40s and director Vittorio De Sica was one of the prime reasons for this important period of film-making. "The Bicycle Thieves" is a film about a poor man whose only means for a job is his bicycle, which gets stolen. The film follows him and his young boy throughout war-ravaged Rome in search of the stolen bike. The trip involves some of the most brilliant vignettes in film history; the church, th find out more...

BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967)

An all time classic 60s movie glamourising the real life story of the Barrow gang who terrorised the American South in the early 30s. 'Reclaiming the American gangster movie, after it had been stolen by the Nouvelle Vague, Penn's film was so successful (and so imitated) that it inevitably met with some grudging devaluation. But it's still great, half comic fairytale, half brutal fact, it reflects the essential ambiguity of its heroes by treading a no man's land suspended between reality and fant find out more...

The makers of "Menace II Society" score again with this hard hitting drama. Young black American Anthony survives the horrors of Vietnam, yet returns to a hostile society and no prospects. But an armoured car full of unmarked bills could be the answer to his problems. Gripping, harrowing and brutal. find out more...

DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN (1985)

Certification15 Our Rating

A sophisticated comedy of mistaken identity, missing memory and missing diamonds. When a bored housewife gets mixed up with wild Susan (Madonna) and the mob via an ad in the personal column, she swaps her life of dreary domesticity, and finds she rather likes it! Hugely enjoyable. find out more...

DJANGO (1965)

One of the finest Spaghetti's in the west! Banned for 25 years, it has lost nothing of its hard-edged impact. The gringos are bad and the law are worse! The hero, Django, dispenses justice from a smoking Gatling gun, and sounds like a dubbed Clint Eastwood. Absolutely superb! find out more...

DOG DAY AFTERNOON (1975)

Certification15 Our Rating

Lumet's complex and atmospheric thriller is based on a real event. Pacino is superb as the neurotic and incompetent gay bankrobber who needs the money from the robbery to finance his lover's sex change operation. The film's beauty is it's closely detailed psychological observation. Excellent.

Phyllis Dietrichson is trapped in a loveless marriage to a man who inspires in her nothing but contempt, but rather than leave him Phyllis decides to kill him and collect on the insurance policy she's had set up with the help of her lover, and naive partner in crime, insurance salesman Walter Neff. The only flaws in their plan are the company's reluctance to pay out so much, the diligence of Neff's increasingly suspicious colleague, (and his 'little man'), and the exemplary ruthlessness of Ph find out more...

JACKIE BROWN (1998)

Certification15 Our Rating

It's been a long time coming and, while not as hard-hitting as Reservoir Dogs or as mirth-inducing as Pulp Fiction, "Jackie Brown" is (probably) Tarantino's finest movie yet. Adapted from novellist Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch, this is a sometimes painfully realistic trudge through the tawdry lives of several somehow-connected characters. The Jackie of the title (dazzlingly played by Pam Grier) is a world-weary, cash-smuggling air hostess trying to stay as far away as possible from both her scuzzy find out more...
