A truly effective horror movie made with imagination and style. A dead child murderer starts getting into a group of teenagers' dreams and the line between sleep and reality becomes very blurred. Not one to watch late at night all alone!

BAD LIEUTENANT (1994)
Certification18 Our Rating
You've seen the trailer, and then you probably saw it again and then a year went by and you saw it again, but where was the film? At last the most trailered film in history, and wonderfully nasty it is too. Keitel is cop, junkie, thief gambler and hustler not looking for, but finding God. Great.

BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967)
Certification15 Our Rating
An all time classic 60s movie glamourising the real life story of the Barrow gang who terrorised the American South in the early 30s. 'Reclaiming the American gangster movie, after it had been stolen by the Nouvelle Vague, Penn's film was so successful (and so imitated) that it inevitably met with some grudging devaluation. But it's still great, half comic fairytale, half brutal fact, it reflects the essential ambiguity of its heroes by treading a no man's land suspended between reality and fant

BRANDED TO KILL (1967)
Certification18 Our Rating
Outrageously camp gangster yarn about an assassin who can only achieve sexual excitement by sniffing boiled rice! Ranked No 3 in the Top 10 of underworld hitmen, he polishes off No 2 during a string of spectacular killings, but soon has No 1 hot on his tail. Occasionally mystifying, but always witty, inventive and dazzling.

BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA (1974)
Certification18 Our Rating
A penniless pianist learns that contract-killing target Alfredo Garcia is already dead and sets out to recover his head and claim the bounty. Perhaps Peckinpah's most complex and critically controversial film, an eclectic mix of existensial quest, gothic tale, political critique of American involvement in Latin America and a love story of two losers challenging destiny. Set in Mexico.
