The best film in the history of comic British cinema. A black tale of sex, adultery, murder and social class told with low key irony. Alec Guinness plays all the leading roles, and the delightfully witty and sardonic script is ideal for him. A landmark of British film. find out more...

The Hoover family are your typical suburban American demographic; dad's a failed inspirational speaker, grandpa's a coke snorting lay-about, the teenage son has embraced Nietzsche and abstains from the spoken word, the brother-in-law has just missed out on a successful suicide and the mum….well bless her, she really does try. The young daughter, however, is an upbeat bundle of positive energy and when the chance comes to enter the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant the whole family embark on a find out more...

Finally on DVD the superlative comedy feast that is Police Squad, the comedy series that inspired 'The Naked Gun'. Ridiculous visual gags, repetitive stock phrases and flimsy storylines all work like a dream and will tickle your silly-bone till your sides hurt. Wonderful! find out more...

Certification15 Our Rating

A 'Leatherface' type murderer who wears other people's faces, kills at an all-night horror-thon at an old theatre put on by a bunch of film students.

And now he's back to kill his daughter, Sara, who is believed to really be Maggie. 

 

Superlative horror that blends great diy special effects, cinephilia and frights with aplomb. AN find out more...

John Waters slips effortlessly into mainstream cinema, whilst sticking to his trademark irreverent black comedy. Kathleen Turner plays the perfect suburban mom, as American as apple pie and a stickler for family values and good manners. Secretly however, she's a vicious, foul-mouthed psycho killer! Ahead of its time and absolutely genius. find out more...
SHORTBUS (2006)

Certification18 Our Rating

If you thought Hedwig and the Angry Inch was a film unlike any other you'd seen before, get ready for Shortbus: a frank and fun film about the sex lives of humans, ostensibly set in New York, but relevant to every one of us. The plot plays a supporting role in what is, in many ways, a beautifully disguised self-help documentary. Sex therapist Sofia (played by Canadian radio star, Sook-Yin Lee) has frequent, athletic (yet frustratingly unfulfilling) intercourse with her boyfriend. Her seeming ina find out more...

A young black man charms himself into the lives of some wealthy liberal New Yorkers by lying that he's at college with their offspring and that he's Sidney Poitier's son. Uncovering his lies throws them into confusion as they analyse their own mixed reactions. Successfully adapted from the stage play. find out more...
SNEAKERS (1992)

Certification15 Our Rating

This is a bizarre hybrid, a hi-tech caper movie with lo-tech charm, an action pic with incongruously mellow Californian pacing, a post-Cold War thriller with sassy wit. Redford heads a team of 'sneakers' - freelance tech-heads who execute computer heists to test corporate security systems. It's basically an old folk's operation, with crusty CIA vet Poitier, wild card conspiracy nut Aykroyd, blind genius Strathairn, and McDonnell as a mature femme fatale, only Phoenix guarantees the teen market. find out more...

All twelve episodes from the first series of the classic satirical puppet show. No target was safe from the series' gunsights: Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet, the opposition, the Liberals, Ronald Reagan, the Pope and the Royal Family could all find themselves up for a painful ribbing on any given programme. The series was worked around the current week's news stories and featured a number of famous impressionists, including Chris Barrie, Rory Bremner, Phil Cornwell, Steve Coogan, John Culs find out more...
