Bob Crane was the star of the hugely successful 1960s TV series "Hogan's Heroes", a man of fine upstanding character until he's befriended by a svengali-like video technician. Together the two men embark on an increasingly dark journey of sexual hedonism that leaves Crane increasingly estranged from reality and, ultimately, dead. Auto Focus is a fascinating film, visually atmospheric, superbly performed by the two leads and an utterly gripping account of one man's decent into addiction.

MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969)
Certification18 Our Rating
The best "buddy" movie ever made. Voight plays the naive rhinestone studded small-town boy who dreams of becoming a big-city gigolo, Hoffman is the frail, sickly hobo he takes under his wing. Stunning performances from both make this an outstandingly powerful and touching film. Very stylish. Won Best Picture at 1969 Academy Awards.

THE SEA INSIDE (2004)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Ramon Sampedro has been on an unusual quest for over thirty years, almost completely paralysed he has been fighting for the right to legally end his life. Based on a true story The Sea Inside is a tale of extraordinary beauty; exemplary performances and thoughtful direction have created something that seems to contradict Ramon's desire, because against all logic this film is a celebration of life. Deeply thoughtful and immensely moving.

ZODIAC (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
A suspenseful documentation of the search for Zodiac killer, who made the headlines with his apparently random killings and his coded messages to the press as to his identity, whilst killing with impunity, largely in the San Francisco Bay area of Northern California, in the 1970s. The story follows that of puzzle solver and cartoonist Robert Graysmith and is reflected in the somewhat amateurish, if occasionally compulsive, efforts of various resource stretched California police units.
