The story of a director, devoid of inspiration and on the verge of a nervous breakdown, trying to satisfy the anticipation surrounding his next project. Surreal, serio-comic mildly autobiographical and widely acclaimed as one of the great films about movie-making. Fellini's masterpiece.

A successful actress employs a woman in exchange for her flattery, only to find her employee is scheming her way to the top at her own expense.

The definitive 'Apocalypse Now' (as if the original wasn't pretty definitive) this has nearly an hour of extra footage fleshing out the surreal journey of our central protagonists and, though it brings the film to a whisker short of three and a half hours, much of it explains what happens to the eclectic characters we meet.

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 classic piece of British cinema, set in the Himalayas, where a group of nuns are leading a tough and isolated existence. As outside influences gradually intrude on the group the sisters find themselves falling prey to human temptation and neurosis. Stunning, erotic and thought provoking.
