The second of the terrific Stewart/Mann Westerns is characteristic of their pairings: adult themes played out against prairie vistas in which betrayal and violence can erupt at any time. Formerly a vicious Missouri raider, Stewart now leads an Oregon bound wagon train that, having brushed aside ineffective Native American resistance to the invasion, becomes embroiled in a conflict over resources between farmers (decent folk) and miners (womanising, drinking, thieving, scumbags). Welcome to Middl find out more...

One of the very finest epics produced, equally impressive in terms of script and spectacle. Heston is aptly heroic as the 11th Century patriot destined to die in the fight to evict the Moors from Spain, Mann's direction is stately and thrilling and Miklos Rosza's superb score perfectly complements the crisp and simple widescreen images. Sobriety and restraint, in fact, are perhaps the keynotes of the film's success, with the result that a potentially risible finale, in which Cid's corpse is born find out more...

Way ahead of its time, this is a Western with a difference! There's gun-totting women (including the brilliant Joan Crawford) fighting over the men that they love and leading the men into action. Then there's the anaemic looking Sterling Hayden as the male lead in this classic that tramples stereotypes with a memorable result! The 'Lie to me...' speech is guaranteed to give you chills. find out more...

Based on Jules Verne's fantasy adventure we follow Professor Lindenbrook and his motley posse into the bowls of the earth where they discover a land that time forgot (or something very similar). Very bad baddies, huge ravenous lizards, and giant mushrooms are just a taster of the goodies on offer. There's also a bit of effective sexual symbolism, in typical Hollywood style, which greatly enhances the syrupy romantic subplot. Excellent and with the added bonus of the late, great James Mason. find out more...

A movie in which a lovelorn supersize gorilla and lonely human belle make heavy eyes at each other, not Lord of the Rings here, but Beauty and the Beast! The film is in three chapters; a movie producer sets sail with cast and crew for the legendary Skull Island; where they are attacked by human sacrificing natives, ravenous dinosaurs, cockroaches as big as beer barrels and scorpions the size of cars, to name but a few; what's left of our less than heroic crew return to New York with the greates find out more...
