You know the interviews that Ali G did with high powered establishment figures, they were fresh, witty and clever; Well this film is their doppelganger, using as it does a level of humour that would need you to explain how a calculator works before it struggled to add 2 and 2. Ali becomes the darling of the British public and the British parliament when he and his Staines Massive make a valiant fight to stop their local community center from closing. Funny....if you're so bladdered the bed looks

'All My Loving' was created when John Lennon and Paul McCartney challenged Palmer, then a classical music documentarian, to make a film that encompassed the 1968 music world in one hour of screen time. This was the time of student demonstrations against the war in Vietnam and the music describes this struggle while also providing an escape from the troubles of the day. Great footage and interviews with the likes of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Pink Floyd - who had just lost Syd Barrett -

AMADEUS (1984)
CertificationPG Our Rating
An award winning film full of baroque splendour. The talented composer Antonio Salieri found himself in competition with Mozart, a genius, and he couldn't understand why God favored such a vulgar creature to be his instrument.
