20th Century Flicks, Bristol

A British made, 1950s epic charting the sinking of the unsinkable. On April 10th 1912, the luxury liner Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage. Four days later, it sank in just 2 hours 40 minutes, needlessly claiming the lives of 1,500 passengers and crew. Infinitely less glamourous than the contemporary Hollywood version, what it lacks in gloss it makes up for with no-nonsense, straightforward storytelling. Truth is, the hard facts are far more shocking than anything Tinseltown could come up wit find out more...

CARRINGTON (1994)

The true story of Bloomsbury Set darling Dora Carrington and her doomed love for Lytton Strachey who, though charming, was quite obviously a screaming homosexual. Well crafted with a sumptuously authentic feel, this is a must for literary vultures. find out more...

CHAPLIN (1992)

Certification15 Our Rating

Robert Downey Jnr demonstrates his prowess by giving a riveting performance as the little master. The cast delivers despite a disjointed narrative, and Chaplin's fall from grace, brought down by McCarthyism is very moving. Kevin Kline is excellent as the flamboyant Fairbanks Jnr. find out more...

COCO BEFORE CHANEL (2009)

Certification12 Our Rating

Abandoned by her father and brought up in an orphanage Gabrielle Chanel's early years were not easy ones, but her willful determination, intelligence and obvious gift would see her ultimately rise to iconic status within the world of 20th Century fashion. 'Coco Before Chanel' never glamorises her life, neither the way she looks nor the lovers she takes; a thoughtful understated observation of Chanel's life before fortune finally beckoned. Not a visually sumptuous film, as you might expect, but a find out more...

DE-LOVELY (2004)

Certification12 Our Rating

Kline and Judd combine well in this delightful homage to the life and times of Cole and Linda Porter, man and wife, composer and muse, a couple who led a life of glamour and indulged eccentricity. There's no shortage of the man's music, which is unfortunately sometimes murdered by using a series of unsuitable singers; "It's De-Lovely" by Robbie Williams, "Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)" by Alanis Morissette, "Begin The Beguine" by Sheryl Crow, "Let's Misbehave" by Elvis Costello, "Be a Clown" find out more...

EIGHT MEN OUT (1988)

Certification15 Our Rating

A factionalised account of how the 1919 baseball world series was thrown by the heavily favoured Chicago White Sox. They made a deal with gangsters to get back at their stingy boss and make a packet on the side. This was a scandal that shocked a nation and is an excellent film. find out more...
