20th Century Flicks, Bristol

The first Bond film. The evil Dr No is out for world control and only JB can save the world! One of the earliest and one of the best. The one where Ursula Andress oozes out of the surf in a low cut bikini, with conch shell!, and into Jim's arms. find out more...

EDUCATING RITA (1983)

Certification15 Our Rating

Rita wants to be educated. She's a young working class girl who becomes involved with a cynical and alcoholic university tutor. A brilliant comedy of social attitudes and class differences, with more than a hint of romance. The film drew best ever performances from the two lead actors.

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL (1993)

Certification15 Our Rating

The most successful British film ever, well back in 1993!

GANDHI (1982)

GET CARTER (1971)

Certification18 Our Rating

Perhaps Caine's defining role as the ruthless London villain in Newcastle to sort out some gang bovver.

David Lean's much-acclaimed production of the gloomy Dickens classic.

Visually flawless, perfectly paced, it's a masterpiece. find out more...
