Eight-year-old Zachary has, so far, enjoyed life as his father's favourite son, as the possessor of a gift for healing and as younger sibling to a tearaway, a jock and a bookworm, but this relatively idyllic childhood in Québec is cast under the shadow of his dad's suspicions when he is discovered wearing a dress.

Certification15 Our Rating
Meet New Zealanders Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie - aka "Flight of the Conchords". They're on tour in America, well New York, and determined to conquer the States with their identity crisis folk songs, even if it's only one fan at a time.

Marvellous I tell you, bloody

THE HARDER THEY COME (1972)
Certification15 Our Rating
Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff more than holds his own in this now cult-classic. Jamaican country boy Ivan travels to Kingston with dreams of becoming a big recording star, but his naive optimism is gradually destroyed by the web of corruption he finds there. Great story and a stonking soundtrack.

THIS IS SPINAL TAP (1984)
Certification15 Our Rating
An inspired and brilliant mockumentary recounting the history of a crap British heavy metal group and following them on a disastrous tour of the US. This movie takes apart every cliche that ever graced a rock documentary and every vanity or folly to haunt overblown rock groups. So realistic that American audiences thought the band was real... Voted third funniest film by Observer readers in a 2007 poll.
