A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984)

Certification18 Our Rating

A truly effective horror movie made with imagination and style. A dead child murderer starts getting into a group of teenagers' dreams and the line between sleep and reality becomes very blurred. Not one to watch late at night all alone! find out more...

AIRPLANE! (1980)

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.

ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES (1938)

CertificationPG Our Rating

A gutsy 30s gangster noir with two 'hood boys whose paths into adulthood are a complete contrast; Cagney becoming a violent gangster and O'Brien a priest. O'Brien has to fight the local kids' hero-worship of Cagney, and this leads to an emotional and ambiguous climax. Tense, dramatic, well-acted with sharp dialogue. Astounding. find out more...

APOCALYPSE NOW (1979)

Certification18 Our Rating

The greatest movie ever made? A soldier is sent into the Heart of Darkness to retrieve a commander gone AWOL in an insane reality of tin-pot power, paranoia and inglorious killing. The horror of war is stripped naked in a surreal twilight world. The crew nearly went mad making it, Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack and Coppola flew so far beyond budget that the word 'bankrupt' was nearly redefined. See "Heart of Darkness"... find out more...

Action fantasy tale about a wise-cracking trucker who attempts to rescue his friend's fiance from a 2000 year-old magician who lives beneath San Francisco's Chinatown. He must battle demons, goblins and other terrors as he makes his way through the magician's dark domain.
