Half-witted good ol' boys Jacob and Lou can't wait to get stuck into the obviously ill-gotten gains, while the sensible, principled Hank just knows it'll all end in tears. Of course, the trio go for the j find out more...

The greatest movie ever made? A soldier is sent into the Heart of Darkness to retrieve a commander gone AWOL in an insane reality of tin-pot power, paranoia and inglorious killing. The horror of war is stripped naked in a surreal twilight world. The crew nearly went mad making it, Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack and Coppola flew so far beyond budget that the word 'bankrupt' was nearly redefined. See "Heart of Darkness"... find out more...

A work of genius. A sort of 1984 gone haywire about a humble clerk and his efforts to find the girl of his dreams.

Brilliant black comedy with Cusack as a hitman who goes home for his high school reunion.

The sequel to Jean De Florette (which should be seen first). Jean's daughter remains in the hills to herd goats and to finally serve the tight-lipped villagers with their just desserts. This part is less tragic but even more heartwrenching than the first, and the two must be seen! find out more...
