20th Century Flicks, Bristol

Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer and unrelenting optimist, manages to gain entry to the 1976 British Open Golf Championship qualification round despite being a complete novice. Underrated and overlooked passion project from Simon Farnaby.

By now most of us probably think we've seen and heard enough about the events of the 11th September 2001, it has rarely been out of the news and many of us watched the tragedy unfold live on our television screens. That said, this documentary is unique in it's access to the attack on the World Trade Centres. That day, two brothers, Jules and Gedeon Naudet were filming a documentary about a rookie firefighter in a New York firestation located close to what we know now of as 'ground zero', they we find out more...

10 RILLINGTON PLACE (1971)

Certification15 Our Rating

Creepy, "kitchen-sink" style dramatisation of the horrifying true story of mass-murderer John Christie. Attenborough is superbly sinister as the perverted killer who did away with his young lodger, amongst others, leaving her simple-minded husband Timothy Evans to swing for it. Morbidly fascinating. find out more...

Aron Ralston is an adrenalin junkie, and as any self respecting pleasurer of the �oh, that�s a bit extreme!�, he�s full on tearing it through Utah's Canyonlands National Park when one leap too far leaves his arm pinioned by a bolder in a barren crevasse. Based on a true story this is the remarkable account of Ralston�s cocky, hopeful, desperate, hallucinatory and determined desire to survive. A superb performance by Franco (and a cracking soundtrack) help pull this minimalist film through; tight find out more...

1492 CONQUEST OF PARADISE (1992)

Certification15 Our Rating

Ridley Scott directed epic that gives the definitive version of the Columbus story. The lush scenery, superb casting and top-notch direction don't quite make up for it being overlong, but on the whole Scott (and Depardieu) have painted a wonderful and absorbing picture. Well worth a watch! find out more...

24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE (2002)

Certification18 Our Rating

Factory Records, the Hacienda club, Tony Wilson, Happy Mondays, etc, etc. '24 Hour Party People' is an affectionate and humorous trip through Manchester's monster music scene in the 80s and 90s. The soundtrack as you'd expect is blinding and Steve Coogan's portrayal of Wilson is spooky. A film that stands on it's own as an excellent near tragi-comedy, but within its historical context... it's bloody mad!
