GET CARTER (1971)

Certification18 Our Rating

Perhaps Caine's defining role as the ruthless London villain in Newcastle to sort out some gang bovver. When he finds out his niece has become embroiled with some very seedy characters, his involvement becomes far deeper. A violent and slick thriller with an excellent feel for both time and location and a comment on the despair of Britain in the 1970s. find out more...

GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)

CertificationPG Our Rating

The original big screen romantic epic that fired the hearts of generations to come. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and telling the tale of the love between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler, it's the history of a selfish woman who doesn't want to admit her feelings about the man she loves, and finally loses. Won Best Picture at 1939 Academy Awards. find out more...

HAXAN (1922)

Certification15 Our Rating

A disturbing Danish film, reanacting witchcraft trials from the 15th and 16th on till the early 20th Century. Mixing scenes of reanactment, animation and illustrated slideshows to depict events of alleged real-life events and possessions, we are shown images of extreme cruelty which smack of the experimental edges of medical research. This must have been tantamount to the work of the devil when it first came out. Sick-minds they had back in 1922! The DVD has a choice of soundtracks, the best of find out more...

HORROR OF DRACULA (1957)

Certification15 Our Rating

Now regarded as a classic, this is the first Dracula film that Hammer Horror made. Bits such as the famous opening shot with the menacing shadow of Lee gliding down the stairs to emerge as a crisply charming aristocrat, still look excellent. Required viewing for horror buffs. find out more...

HOUSE OF WAX (1953)

CertificationPG Our Rating

The original 1953 classic has a suitably sinister Vincent Price going that extra mile to ensure the realism of his wax effigies. Creepy, camp and kitsch � it's wonderful. Check out the youthful Charles Bronson! find out more...

IN A LONELY PLACE (1950)

CertificationPG Our Rating

Brilliantly directed story about a psychotic Hollywood scriptwriter, who is suspected of murder but given a false alibi by his gorgeous neighbour. Bogart's character never lets up and you're never sure if he's guilty or not, and nor is his lovestruck neighbour. As the police close in, it develops into a beautifully tense psychological thriller, did he do it and will the girl stand by her man? Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! find out more...

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956) (1956)

CertificationPG Our Rating

One of the great horror movies. A doctor discovers what appears to be a case of mass hysteria with several people claiming that members of their family appear to be "different". Is this just a case of paranoia, are people really becoming vegetablised? Or are they all simply communists? Watch this classic to find out. find out more...

KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS (1949)

CertificationU Our Rating

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...

LIFT TO THE SCAFFOLD (1957)

CertificationPG Our Rating

Ronet is the disgruntled war vet who plots to kill his boss and elope with his wife. Meanwhile, other events implicate him in a murder elsewhere, whilst he remains stuck in an immobile lift. Tense, clever plot with cool, minimalist direction by Malle and a great Miles Davis score. find out more...

LOGAN'S RUN (1976)

CertificationPG Our Rating

In the 23rd century life is perfect for everyone, that is until the age of 30, when "senior citizens" face an abrupt extermination, and Logan is 29, worried, and ready to run. A disturbing vision of the future with Oscar-winning special effects. find out more...
