The valet's gentlemanly pretensions are put to the test in this tale of espionage and romantic intrigue. Ace.

Inside this conventionally structured biopic resides an extraordinary story of an extraordinary man. William Wilberforce was the parliamentary spokesman for a group of radicalised young Evangelists (and Quakers), who despised the money politics and corruption of late 18th Century UK politics and who fought for many reformist policies, the most notable of which was the one this film annotates, the abolition of slavery, a process that took years of political skulduggery and the slow passage of find out more...

Frank W Abagnale Jr is a young man with a talent, an ability for the sort of balls out blag most of us can only dream of. Passing himself off as a teacher, lawyer, doctor and pilot it is not long before Frank attracts the attention of the FBI and one particularly dogged agent. Catch Me If You Can is based on the true adventures of Mr Abagnale and plays heavily on the humour of his antics. Perfectly cast and effortlessly put together this is slick, light and clever entertainment.

A chilling dramatisation of a meeting between 15 top ranking Nazi officials, organised and led by Reinhard Heydrich, deputy head of the SS, and assisted by Adolf Eichmann in the winter of 1942.

One of the best films to come out of the British cinema for a long time. The story of the peroxided bar girl Ruth Ellis, who murdered her upper class lover and became the last woman to be hanged in the UK. A study not just of her personality and the tragic love affair which ended in this crime of passion, but of the seedy mood of repression and austerity in class ridden 50s Britain. Miranda Richardson is outstanding in this compelling movie. find out more...
