20th Century Flicks, Bristol

The film opens with shots of a prosperous town and its stately avenues of rich mens' houses, all placidly awaiting the start of the country club season, as the venomously honeyed voice of an unseen female narrator begins spinning a web of speculation and suspicion round three married women, shortly to be completed by their receipt of a poisonous letter indicating that the narrator has run away with one of their husbands. With the three wives trapped for the day supervising a children's picnic find out more...

A man writes and loves in darkness. Fourteen years ago he was in a car crash where he lost not only his sight but also Lena, the love of his life.

CHARADE (1963)

CertificationPG Our Rating

An all-star cast hunts a fortune reportedly stashed by Hepburn's now dead, thieving husband. Everything about "Charade" sets off what Hepburn and Grant did best, romantic thrillers with some great one liners (watch out for his to her on the boat) and is swept along by Mancini's wonderful score and chic Parisian settings.

CRY-BABY (1990)

Certification15 Our Rating

US teen heart-throb Johnny Depp plays Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, the coolest dude in school and the baddest boy in Baltimore. Rich, prim, new girl Alison thinks he's a dream, her grandmother thinks he's a nightmare. An even weirder cast than 'Hairspray' in this quirky, offbeat musical extravaganza that's got a touch of traditional John Waters shock stuff, but is predominately a parody of both 50s teen rebellion and 50s teen musical flicks. Its reputation has grown hugely with time. find out more...

The classic science-fiction film that brought us Robbie The Robot.

GREASE (1978)

CertificationPG Our Rating

A high school musical which ripped off everything it could from the 1950s. At the time it was slated, but, in retrospect, it started a trend and is nowhere near as bad as some of the movies which followed it. In fact, one could go as far as to say it's now a bit of a classic... find out more...
