The world as a lunatic asylum. Jack Nicholson plays the anarchist determined to challenge the smug system of authority and obedience that rule the roost. The first film by Czech dissident Forman after migrating from Czechoslovakia to the United States, and a superb comment on society! Won Best Picture plus others at 1975 Academy Awards.

Bizarre but brilliant mathematical mystery, shot in black & white and set to a nervy, industrial soundtrack. Max Cohen (Sean Gullette) is a bit of an oddball; either a misunderstood techno genius, or just the sort of weirdo who sits with his hood up at the back of the bus, depending on your tolerance levels. Living in a computer-filled slum in a world which, to his eyes, is no more than a series of numerical equations, Max stumbles across a seemingly meaningless 216 digit number. But when two si

His kingdom slowly disintegrates as the sons struggle for power, murdering rivals and laying waste to the land, and Hidetora goes insane after watching his retainers slaughtered in an epic massacre, the centrepiece of the film.

We start with compulsive liar Roberto picking up a teenage girl in a disco and we follow his affair with her while he carries on robbing and murdering. A powerful adaptation of the real life serial killer that documents more than just his dark achievements but gives a wholly believable insight into the man's damaged world and the chaotic ineptitude of the society upon which he preys. Harsh but utterly hypnotic.

A disenchanted Vietnam vet becomes a New York taxi driver and lets the violence and squalor around him explode in his mind. One of the most atmospheric films ever made about urban alienation. Foster's first film and the one which almost resulted in Ronald Reagan's assassination when he was President - it must be good!

Scraping past the BBTF board by the skin of its teeth thanks to its notorious yet brief orgy scene, "The Idiots" picked up quite a bit of hype. It took the Cannes Film Festival by storm and shocked, disgusted and largely entertained audiences ever since. The plot centres around a group of friends who decide to explore their 'inner idiot' potential. As the characters throw morals aside, the film looks at the subversive effect on the society. Made under the Dogma 95 Manifesto created by 'Breaking

The man responsible for bringing them back to some semblance of reality is Colonel Hudson, a brilliant but highly unorthodox psychiatrist. As the therapy progresses Hudson's methods seem to be working or is it merely that the madness is beginning to effect everything within the facility. The Ninth Configur
