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...

Pacino is superb as the oddball cop Frank Serpico, an idealist cop who stood out not just because of his odd dress sense, but because of his refusal to take bribes, something which made him very dangerous to his thieving corrupt workmates. A series of narrative twists make this excellent truth-based drama gripping viewing. A forerunner for the even better 'Prince of the City'. find out more...

Struggling boxer Micky Ward has long been overshadowed by his older bother and trainer, Dicky, a local legend who is now spectacularly failing to battle his many demons. The explosive relationship of these two men threatens to destroy any hope for both, and in-particular the morally uncorrupted Micky who is offered one final jab at greatness.
