A frustrated, highly strung, spectacularly unsuccessful puppeteer inadvertently finds a passage way into the mind of John Malkovich and, uniquely skilled as he is in the art of manipulation, this seems like the perfect opportunity to escape his dead-end life and dull wife. There is little point in trying to explain the story further, you'll just have to watch this fantastically surreal, absurd, dark, gobsmackingly original comedy - the brainchild of a quite obviously seriously warped puppy.

A brilliant movie from the same director as "Stranger Than Paradise". Our three low-life heroes escape from jail into the Louisiana swamps and find that they might have been better off inside. Off-beat, very stylish, funny and just brilliant! find out more...

An excellent black comedy, handsome thriller and a tall story that keeps you guessing as it unwinds. The genuinely ridiculous plot (a man pays a couple of goons to 'pretend' to kidnap his wife in order to get his paws on his in-laws' 'ransom' money) is completely credible as mighty plans fall apart, spiralling ever more beyond the protagonist's control and leaving us marvelling at the complex stupidity of human nature. A modern classic.

Brilliant black comedy with Cusack as a hitman who goes home for his high school reunion. While he's there he's got one last job to do, and a long lost love to win back, but first he's got to shake off a rival, "The Grocer" (Aykroyd), who's hellbent on recruiting him to an "assassin's union"! Superb. find out more...

A death obssessed teenager and a 79 year old woman who lives life to the full gang up together in one of the wittiest black comedies ever made. An inventive, enduring classic which was far ahead of its time. You mean you haven't seen it? find out more...

Hip 'n' happening comedy following a bunch of angst-ridden male buddies as they trawl LA's grooviest nightspots in the age old quest for love and the meaning of life or, failing that, a quick shag. A sharp script and top performances from an unknown cast in this deliriously funny feelgood film. find out more...

Stephane is deeply unfulfilled in his job, but in his dream world things just couldn't be better….and he dreams a lot. What Stephane needs to do is find some kind of middle ground between fantasy and reality, an opportunity that may just present itself if he can steel himself to approach his beautiful next door neighbour. Michel Gondry's follow up to ‘Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' is equally as weird and wonderful as its predecessor, but lacks the rich multi-layered genius of Kaufman's writing find out more...

It's Sweden in 1975 and Elizabeth finally decides to leave her drunken and abusive husband, finding refuge in her brother's commune. The environment that Elizabeth finds herself in is a far cry from her previously suburban existence, and she quickly warms to it, only her children are less convinced, seeing as they do a world no less full of deceit and hypocracy than the life they have left. Together is a joyous movie, sharply observed, often very funny and with a satisfying feel good after taste find out more...
