The greatest movie ever made? A soldier is sent into the Heart of Darkness to retrieve a commander gone AWOL in an insane reality of tin-pot power, paranoia and inglorious killing. The horror of war is stripped naked in a surreal twilight world. The crew nearly went mad making it, Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack and Coppola flew so far beyond budget that the word 'bankrupt' was nearly redefined. See "Heart of Darkness"... find our more...

Based on fact and veering comfortably into fiction, we begin with an incident in the director's youth, when as a member of a militant anti Sha group he stabs a policeman, is shot and then taken to a torture chamber, where he remains until the 1979 Iranian revolution. Many years later, while auditioning for the director's first film the two protagonists innocently meet, each having the opportunity to give their own account of the event. A Moment Of Innocence is a gentle, intriguing film, with muc find our more...

A tasteless spoof of the even more tasteless 'Baywatch', apparently the most watched program in the world. A real no-brain spoof comedy, but it's not particularly the cunning subplots that you're looking for anyway! Some quite remarkable figures on view....and the odd laugh too! Bonus! find our more...

Dud plays a middle-aged composer who gives girls a rating on a scale of ten according to how well they perform for him. Although technically lame (poorly filmed, badly scripted etc) this film hit a chord, with its male target audience, on the matter of male inadequacy and impotence. find our more...

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.

Himir lives at 101 Reykjavik and though fast approaching thirty he has yet to leave the comfort of his mothers home or indeed the ease of social security, but the arrival of his mother's lesbian lover and impending fatherhood are about to put a sizable spanner in his hopes for eternal slackerdom. 101 Reykjavik is a quirky and hipply hedonistic black comedy, driven along by some pretty twisted premises and a central character who is an irredeemable and apathetic git pretty much to the end. find our more...

Chow Mo Wan is a man whose painful past has left him wary of love. Now committed only to a lack of commitment, Chow embarks on a series of affairs that promise to fulfil little more than his carnal desire. The majority of Chow's passion is devoted to his Science Fiction novel, a tale of characters travelling on a train to the future in order to reclaim their past. Set in the 1960s and following on from Wong Kar-Wai's passionate but ephemeral ‘In The Mood For Love', 2046 is a ravishing tale of lo find our more...

1560, Peru. In a beautiful poetic opening scene the conquistadors cross an Andes pass, situated between the peaks and the valleys, between conquered land and unexplored forests, between 'heaven' and 'earth', shrouded in mists, they make their way down a narrow path. Aguirre's meglomania grows as around him his comrades mutiny and die in his search for the lost city of El Dorado. Herzog's best film, an unforgetable tour de force. Made before the director himself gave in to meglomania on a later t find our more...

Blending elements of "Shallow Grave" and "Fargo", this noir-ish thriller should satisfy the most demanding fan of the genre. Set in the snowbound Midwest of America, the cautionary tale begins when three locals discover a crashed aircraft containing a dead pilot and millions of dollars in cash. Half-witted good ol' boys Jacob and Lou can't wait to get stuck into the obviously ill-gotten gains, while the sensible, principled Hank just knows it'll all end in tears.

Slapstick tale of organised crime and family conflict amongst three generations of gypsies, from the former Yugoslavia. Set on the banks of the Danube, the riotous action centres on the old-style octagenarian gangsters, their crooked and conniving offspring, and the youngest generation, whose touching romanticism bring a touch of whimsy to the proceedings.
