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)

CertificationPG Our Rating

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...

BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN (1925)

CertificationPG Our Rating

Mind those steps! Perhaps the most famous movie scene in the history of cinema. The documentary style story of mutiny aboard the Potemkin as the sailors fight oppression and fire on Tzarist troops attempting to quell rebellion in the city of Oddessa. Almost every shot is so beautiful it could work as a still. find out more...

BEING JOHN MALKOVICH (2000)

Certification15 Our Rating

A frustrated, highly strung, spectacularly unsuccessful puppeteer inadvertently finds a passage way into the mind of John Malkovich and, uniquely skilled as he is in the art of manipulation, this seems like the perfect opportunity to escape his dead-end life and dull wife. There is little point in trying to explain the story further, you'll just have to watch this fantastically surreal, absurd, dark, gobsmackingly original comedy - the brainchild of a quite obviously seriously warped puppy.

BLUE VELVET (1986)

Certification18 Our Rating

It's sick, it's weird, it's spooky, but it's compulsive viewing. Forget Brat Packs and Rambo, this is the dark side to America. Beneath the squeaky clean surface lurk neuroses and perversions, degradation and despair. Brilliantly done, this film will haunt you. find out more...

BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967)

Certification15 Our Rating

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...
