Torrid passion and family feuding in the Deep South from the novel by Tennessee Williams. Taylor is the bitchy wife of Newman, the favourite son, who is unable to face the responsibility of marriage, and Jack Carson connives for the favours of his dying father, superbly played by Burl Ives. Melodramatic. find out more...

A visually brilliant film about teenage gangs in America's urban wasteland. The leader of a small dying gang, Rusty James, lives in the shadow of the memory of his absent, older brother - The Motorcycle Boy. His mother has left, his father drinks, school has no meaning for him and his relationships are shallow. One of Coppola's two adaptations of S E Hinton novels, 'The Outsiders' being the other. A great performance from Dillon and an awesome soundtrack. find out more...
