Seven people take refuge in the Hotel Splendide as Hitler's Third Reich close in on Paris. One is a movie starlet, one a politician under her spell, two others are scientists with a new invention that might prove deadly in the wrong hands, and slap bang in the middle is a young writer who, courtesy of his fellow guests, will soon find himself risking his life for the sake not only of his country, but the free world itself. Bon Voyage is a delicious old-fashioned comedic adventure, oozing with Ga

BORAT (2006)
Certification15 Our Rating
How can something so wrong feel so right? Just one of the questions you are bound to ask if you decide to make the leap of faith and watch this film. Kazakhstan's favourite TV journo decides that a trip to the "U, S and A" is just what his country needs so he heads off with his trusty producer, Azamat. Absolutely hilarious; the Pamela Anderson stalking, the cheese-eating, the ‘running of the Jew', a Pamplona-style event in Borat's village, the gypsy-tear-collecting, the rodeo crowd cheering Bora

BULWORTH (1999)
Certification18 Our Rating
Subversive satire with Warren Beatty as the burnt-out, soon-to-be-exposed senator who takes out a contract on his own life. But, after a Paul-on-the-road-to-Damascus-style transformation, he decides to do the unthinkable and tell the truth for a change, whilst trying to win the heart of inner-city militant miss Halle Berry. There's just one obstacle - the hitman who's got a bullet with Bulworth's name on it. Flawed but fun.

CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
Charlie Wilson is a fairly unorthodox congressman, devoted as he is more to having a good time than the machinations of politics, but much to his surprise, and with a sharp shove from a past love, Charlie finds a passion that doesn't involve his own pleasure; helping Afghanistan fight the invading Russians through covert American funding. Considering the present situation in Afghanistan and the light hearted nature of this film Charlie Wilson's War would seem a doomed enterprise but the script i

DAVE (1993)
Certification15 Our Rating
Excellent light-hearted comedy with Kevin Kline as both the President and nice guy Dave Kovic, a lookalike asked to step in when the President suffers a heart attack. Shocked at first, Dave soon warms to his job, and begins to change things from the top down! Good script with plenty of laughs.

DEAR WHITE PEOPLE (2014)
Certification15 Our Rating
An ivy league college becomes an explosive battle ground for racial tensions that have been simmering away for decades after a horrendous Halloween party is thrown in poor taste by the affluent, over-entitled, racist white kids. Hilarious and right on the money, make time for it.

DECLINE OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE (1986)
Certification18 Our Rating
A highly acclaimed and bucolic attack on the attitudes and views that each sex holds so dear. Four men gather to cook a meal, and chat about their sex lives, whilst their wives and partners do the same at their health club. Their revelations come as a shock when finally they meet. Hilarious satire.

DICK (2000)
Certification12 Our Rating
An alternative theory as to who it was who made the Watergate scandal public. Two particularly fluffy high-school bunnies stumble into a series of paper shredding and general skulduggery. Blessed with the combined intelligence of a single-celled amoeba, the girls spent half of the film completely oblivious to the corruption around them, but when reality finally dawns, their trickiness puts everyone else in the shade. Dick is as ridiculous as such films come, but thanks to some inspired performan

DIVINE INTERVENTION (2002)
Certification15 Our Rating
Set in the Palestinian occupied territories we follow our central character as he struggles to maintain a meaningful relationship with the woman he loves under the watchful glare of an Isreali checkpoint. "Divine Intervention" is a marvelously offbeat movie, part satire, part farce, frequently surreal, but through it all a perceptive and thoughtful observation of a conflict that as yet defies solution.
