One of the most stylish and beautiful films ever made and a cult classic that helped to repopularise French cinema over here. A courier obsessed with a beautiful black opera singer enters an underworld of visual splendour and tortuous emotions where love and desire go a long way to realising dreams. Brilliant!

PRINCE: PURPLE RAIN (1984)
Certification15 Our Rating
The wee screechy man makes it to the silver screen in this incredibly melodramatic piece of musical romantic drama. Prince plays a musician with a troubled past. His uneasy relationship with his father and his frustration with his musical ambitions propels him on a self destructive motorbike journey through love, gigs, suicide and a wickle bit of sex. The songs are of course still excellent, with the emotionally pornographic title song never failing to raise the hairs on your neck. But it is pla

QUADROPHENIA (1979)
Certification18 Our Rating
Taken from Pete Townsend's rock "opera" of teenage frustration and rebellion set amongst the mods and rockers battling it out on Brighton beach in 1964. Brilliantly recreates the atmosphere of the time and has a great sound track. Speed fighting, speed, casual sex, speed, bike chains and speed.

RADIO ON (1980)
Certification18 Our Rating
A highly stylised British road movie as a comment on the 70s. DJ Beams drives from London to Bristol (play spot the location), in a battered old Rover, to unravel his brother's mysterious death, but it's the incidental characters that he meets on the way that provide the body of the film. Beautifully shot in monochrome and with a fantastic punky soundtrack including Bowie, Kraftwerk and Wreckless Eric.

Set to the story of Ray Grange, who bins his suit to become a roadie for The Clash, and using as a backdrop the Brixton race riots and the neo-Nazi backlash. Lots of political demonstrations and Clash gigs - and Rude Boy is an excellent opportunity to see them live….and loud.

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (1978)
Certification15 Our Rating
Tony is an uneducated Brooklyn teenager. The highlight of his week is going to the local disco, where he is the king of the dancefloor. Tony meets Stephanie at the disco and they agree to dance together in a competition. A disco movie for people who don't go to discos, this is really about Growing Up - which the movie interprets as Growing Out of a Disco Mentality and into Personal Relationships. The relationship between Tony (Travolta) and Stephanie (Gorney) is at least as angst-ridden as anyth

THE HARDER THEY COME (1972)
Certification15 Our Rating
Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff more than holds his own in this now cult-classic. Jamaican country boy Ivan travels to Kingston with dreams of becoming a big recording star, but his naive optimism is gradually destroyed by the web of corruption he finds there. Great story and a stonking soundtrack.
