The world as a lunatic asylum. Jack Nicholson plays the anarchist determined to challenge the smug system of authority and obedience that rule the roost. The first film by Czech dissident Forman after migrating from Czechoslovakia to the United States, and a superb comment on society! Won Best Picture plus others at 1975 Academy Awards.

The story of an ambitious young clerk who abandons his real love so he can marry into a rich family. The first of the British "realist" pictures - films that dealt with working class people and the realities of the English class structure - as a change from cosey middle class drama.

The South American state of Miranda, a post-colonial idyll for a group of oblivious and decadent French ex-pats, is the setting for Bunuel's ascerbic tale. A dark, surreal and damning drama that leaves you in no doubt of the great director's Socialist sensibilities. (unfortunately the English subtitles are a bit half hearted, our apologies).

The last of the Ealing comedies. A gang of crooks take up lodgings in the house of a dotty old lady. Using her as cover they plan a bank robbery. However their ineptitude and a chain of misfortune lead to their downfall and a windfall for the naive, innocent old lady. Oh so dark and oh so brilliant!

Jane Campion's outstanding and acclaimed dramatic masterpiece. Hunter turns in an incredible performance as the mute Ada, sold into a marriage with Neill. Her piano is her voice and she must earn it back from Baines, key by key, in a moving emotional bargain. Stunning - the best film of the year.

The story of a miner who becomes a champion rugby player, but who can't overcome his violent and aggressive personality, which ruins his personal life as he wins his way to success. Rugby League football as a metaphor for the rat race and real passion in the tormented affair between Harris's inarticulate demanding miner/footballer and his dowdily uncomprehending landlady. One of the great films produced by the English "realist" movement of the 50s/60s.
