Biopic
Christy Brown was an Irish cerebal palsy victim who overcame his severe handicap to become a talented painter and author with just the use of his left foot. Daniel Day Lewis is totally and utterly convincing as Brown - using method acting he became Brown and his thoroughness makes the film a great one.

PIERREPOINT (2005)
Certification15 Our Rating
The tale of Albert Pierrepoint, Britain's last official executioner, a man who personally dispatched 608 men and women, including various Nazi war criminals, Timothy Evans and Ruth Ellis. Timothy Spall superbly pulls off how this rather ordinary, but distinctly odd, bloke coped emotionally and professionally with his job. An awesome period piece and a superb look into a very strange occupation. A must for anyone who liked Vera Drake.

THE NAKED CIVIL SERVANT (1980)
Certification15 Our Rating
A brilliant biopic of Quentin Crisp the self-styled "Stately Queen of England", an effeminate gay, a flamboyant exhibitionist, sparkling wit and a character who gave more pleasure to the world than the world gave to him. Played brilliantly and with pathos by the versatile Hurt.
