From the director of "Mrs Brown", a wickedly witty romantic romp, taking some light-hearted liberties with the lovelife of England's most celebrated playwright. It's 1590, and young Will Shakespeare is suffering from a chronic case of writer's block, whilst trying to finish his latest work "Romeo And Ethel The Pirate's Daughter". But Will (a conveniently gorgeous Joseph Fiennes) finds himself newly inspired when he falls madly in love with wannabe stage star Viola De Lesepps (Paltrow), whose det

THE FULL MONTY (1997)

The most successful British film ever, with sex thimble Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting) as an unemployed Sheffield steelworker who finds inspiration when he sees the local housewives queuing up to watch The Chippendales. Gathering together a bunch of out of work (and out of shape!) mates, the motley crew set about transforming themselves into gyrating, throbbing hunks of manhood. But first they'll have to pluck up the courage to get undressed with the light on! A hugely entertaining mixture of si

TOM JONES (1963)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Tom Jones is the 18th Century rustic Casanova whose lusty adventures almost led him to the gallows, but did bring the movie 4 Oscars. Loosely adapted from the novel by Henry Fielding this popular, atmospheric and bawdy movie combines the licentious feel of the early 60s with the classic tale.
