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!

AIRPLANE! (1980)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Every TV mini series and disaster movie cliche taken apart put back together, turned upside down and then kicked to bits. Starring all the actors who normally do this kind of thing seriously. A laugh every five seconds - this film can be watched over and over and over again! Voted second funniest film by Observer readers in a 2007 poll.

Certification18 Our Rating
Much imitated but never equalled, this is the definitive space nightmare. The crew of a commercial spacecraft are stalked by a stowaway, mutating monster of veracious appetite. Weaver puts in a splendidly believable performance as the resourceful Ripley. Taut script and awesome special FX.

ANVIL: THE STORY OF ANVIL (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
It's Spinal Tap... no... wait - these poor bastards are for real. These Canadians played with Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and a whole host of other reputable metal bands of the 80s, in fact, they heavily influenced some of them. So what happened? Well, eternal optimist Steve 'Lips' Kudlow and ever patient best bud Robb Reiner just didn't seem to get a break. Now recording their thirteenth album, 'This is Thirteen', the two not so known legends give it one last go.

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.

CASABLANCA (1942)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Nothing more can be said about this classic melodrama from the peak of the Hollywood studio-film era. Hardened cynic Bogart softens when he meets old flame Bergman who is now a refugee in neutral wartime Casablanca. Together they outwit the Germans... and of course there's that famous song. Watch this classic or some day you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...
