It's the height of hippiedom and this is the film which best captures the spirit of the era. A bitter sweet comedy about the lives of a group of people living in a converted church in New England. Don't let prejudices about hippies or 60s movies put you off. An excellent 'must see' classic film, based on the epic Arlo Guthrie song of the same name.

A succesful photograper in swinging sixties London leads an aimless existence. Then one day he apparently witnesses a murder in the park. A slow moving thriller, Antonioni's film is also a meditation on the relationship of film to reality and the relationship of the individual to society.

The first and best of the Italian "Mexi-Westerns", on a par with Leone's and with a haunting soundtrack. An American mercenary teams up with a bandit on the fringes of the revolutionaries in order to assinate their leader. A violent political film from the same pen as The Battle Of Algiers.

Adapted from the classic, absurdist, anti-war novel by Joseph Heller. "Catch-22" is the story of Yossarian, a pilot who trys to opt out of flying bombing missions by being declared insane, the catch being that anyone trying to avoid bombing missions by being insane must be sane. This dark classic catches much of the flavour of the book, the insanity, the corruption and the absurdity of war. Think MASH, but non-linear - flawed but awesome.

The classic science-fiction film that brought us Robbie The Robot. When a space cruiser is sent to investigate the silence from a planet inhabited by scientists, the crew find all but two of the inhabitants, Professor Morbius and his bewitchingly innocent daughter, have died. Morbius has made a discovery and he has no intention of sharing it (or his daughter!) with anyone. Classy kitsch.

A very strange little number which was released, then immediately withdrawn in 1932 to remain banned for over fifty years. Still pretty disturbing today, despite the triumph of the various aesthetically-challenged "freaks" over their so-called normal tormenters, showing the revenge taken by a group of circus freaks on a beautiful trapeze artist and her strongman lover after they have tried to kill a midget for his fortune.

Mary and Phylis are two perky young teenagers until they're kidnapped by three escaped convicts and repeatedly brutalized. 'The Last House On the Left' was Wes Craven's directorial debut and a twisted little bunny it is to; vicious, mean and exploitative, it makes other video nasties of the era, such as 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', look positively comic. It also proved remarkably influential on later film makers. There are loads of extras on this double disc release.
