Their U-boat having been blown out of the water by the Canadian air force, six German survivors find themselves on a desolate peninsular of Northern Canada, their only hope, to hijack the Allied plane that has been sent to capture them. This Second World War propaganda film by Michael Powell, intended to encourage a still isolationist America into battle, has to be one of the most intelligent and thoughtful films of its kind, an attempt to understand hearts and minds, regardless of their side, r find out more...

Controversial (on release) for using words such as 'semen' and 'panties' in order to aid its realism, and perhaps for it's very ambivalent position on the role of the law in achieving justice. Stewart plays a lawyer hired to defend Gazzara from the charge of murdering the man who allegedly raped his wife. Stylish, cool and brilliant! find out more...

A gutsy 30s gangster noir with two 'hood boys whose paths into adulthood are a complete contrast; Cagney becoming a violent gangster and O'Brien a priest. O'Brien has to fight the local kids' hero-worship of Cagney, and this leads to an emotional and ambiguous climax. Tense, dramatic, well-acted with sharp dialogue. Astounding. find out more...

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...

Fritz Lang's last Hollywood film is a savage indictment of the complacency of American justice. A writer is obsessed with the idea that an entirely innocent man could be sent to the chair - and he sets out to prove his theory when a showgirl is mysteriously found dead. A classic.
