Madonna doesn't try to steal the show and consequently this turns out to be an excellent film. In 1943, with the males away fighting, The All American Girls' Professional Baseball League was formed to keep the National Baseball League running. Hanks is the real star as the cynical manager/coach who learns to love his team. A comic and touching story highlighting many of the contradictions that working women face. High slush factor.

THE WAY WE WERE (1973)
CertificationPG Our Rating
One of Hollywood's greatest love stories with Streisand and Redford making a dashing, if unlikely couple. As college sweethearts they defy their all too obvious differences to be together, but, as the marriage progresses, Redford's easy success as a writer threatens to destroy the idyllic union. One of the most referenced final moments in film (see Sex and the City). A classic romance.

WATERLAND (1992)
Certification15 Our Rating
Superb adaptation of Graham Swift's novel about growing up in the poverty stricken, primitive, rural Fenland. Irons is peerless as the ageing and troubled history teacher, disillusioned as his students with dry facts and figures, taking them on a field trip though his personal history re-exploring his marriage to his childhood love and the often tragic experiences that befell them. Brilliant and moving.
