A reenactment of a real life conversation between two friends, the playwright-actor Wallace Shawn and director-playwright Andre Gregory. Andre has recently returned from a worldwide spiritual quest and as the two talk it is left to Wallace to reign in his friend's flights of fancy, injecting a sobering scepticism to Andre's fluffier musings. "My Dinner With Andre" is fascinating and absorbing.

The true story of champion boxer Jake La Motta brought to the screen by De Niro and Scorcese - probably the greatest partnership of the 1980s. De Niro watched innumerable boxing videos and gained 2 stone to put in a performance that won him an Oscar. Voted Best Film of the '80s by the critics.

A man deformed by a rare illness is taken up and patronised by fashionable London society - another freak show for the elephant man to be exhibited in. David Lynch's highly individual style here perfectly complements the film's material. A dark and brooding, yet sympathetic and sentimental film.

A case history of a middle-aged man with an urge to commit insane and violent murders, well OK he just liked to top people, as we all feel like doing from time to time, but in this case the police could never catch him. A flashback goes some way towards explaining how he developed such a disdain for authority, and the film takes an almost doco-style approach to the crimes of its protagonist and takes great pains to examine the impact his behavior had on his mother, father and wife. A rare insigh
