Nick Broomfield's docu-dramatisation of the massacre of twenty-four men, women and children in Haditha, Iraq, killed by US Marines in retaliation for the death of one of their number in a roadside bomb. Characteristically broad in its approach, following as it does with equal lack of judgement the soldiers, the Iraqi families and the insurgents. A traumatic, gripping and thoughtful re-enactment of events.

Japan is reaching a point of economic and social meltdown, school kids are revolting and teachers fear for their lives. In order to make an example the government introduces The Battle Royale Act - a problem class of teenagers are picked and sent to a secluded island where they are each given one weapon and must to fight to the death, with only one survivor permitted, and this year's choice, because one pupil knifed a teacher, is Class B from Zentsuji Middle School.

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.

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.

The legend of Beowulf, the bravest of the brave, a fearless warrior of such skill that his name has become myth. When Beowulf is called by the king of the Viking lands to rid the people of the monster Grendel our hero duly obliges, but even he may be no match for Grendel's lethal, temptress of a mother. I have one small question...why!? I'm sure 'performance capture' computer imagery is the future of movies, but frankly it still needs quite a bit of work, the humans are plastic characterless cre

The lives of teenage junkies and bickering old people in a small Cotswold town are revealed in this series of interconnected vignettes about the complexity of love, life, youth and the vulnerabilities of old age.

A mockumentary, in this instance of a fictional TV show about an oddball loner slacker, the non charismatic Matsumoto, black sheep of a family of Superheroes, who answers questions about his near non-existent social life whilst periodically metamorphosing into a 30 metre giant who battles monsters.

A hypnotic documentary from Nick Broomfield (Kurt and Courtney) investigating the murders of Tupac Shakur and "The Notorious B.I.G.". Broomfield delves deep into the rappers world and the apparent indifference of the LAPD to provide some pretty chilling facts. Intelligent, professional and utterly gripping.

Argento's directorial debut, a tightly constructed thriller in which an American writer witnesses a knife attack and finds himself obsessed with tracking down a serial killer whose next victims could be himself and his lover. Ennio Morricone's soundtrack helps sustain the tension throughout.
