Every TV mini series and disaster movie cliche taken apart put back together, turned upside down and then kicked to bits. Starring all the actors who normally do this kind of thing seriously. A laugh every five seconds - this film can be watched over and over and over again! Voted second funniest film by Observer readers in a 2007 poll. find out more...

Harvey Pekar lives the life most of us dream of avoiding, a filing clerk by day, a man at odds with, and lost in, the world he inhabits the other sixteen hours. Harvey begins to write down his disgruntled observations and with the help of equally cantankerous illustrator, Harry Crumb, ‘American Splendor' is born. This movie of the man's life is an inspired mixture of animation, documentary and dramatisation, with Paul Giamatti finally getting a role worth his talent. Funny, sad, sharp and hip to find out more...

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.

CLUELESS (1995)

Certification12 Our Rating

Based on Jane Austen's Emma, but set in Beverly Hills and updated to include such essentials as mobile phones, plastic surgeons and endless shopping. 15-years-old Cher is gorgeous, popular, rich and utterly clueless. A brilliant mixture of high school satire and feel-good froth.

Slacker director Linklater takes us back to the swinging 70's for his latest Generation X offering in this tale of teenage decadence. It's the last day of high school and the kids intend to party till dawn, or till they drop, whichever comes first. Fans of Reality Bites will love it.

The only flaws in their plan are the company's reluctance to pay out so much, the diligence of Neff's increasingly suspicious colleague, (and his 'little man'), and the exemplary ruthlessness of Ph find out more...

Ferris is a cute boy: very, very cute. One day he fools his parents that he's ill and then takes off for a really wild time on the town, pursued by the school headmaster. One of the best teen comedies of recent times. A hit and deservedly so! Why haven't you seen it yet?
