From the genius behind "Spinal Tap" comes a quirky but ultimately warm hearted side swipe at dog shows and the obsessive neurosis of man's best friends' masters and mistresses. Best In Show is beautifully observed and offbeat, too outright funny to be a satire and unwilling to make its eclectic bag of characters irredeemably unpleasant. A clever, occasionally hysterical, low-key gem.

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

LOST IN LA MANCHA (2001)
Certification15 Our Rating
A fascinating deconstruction of the destruction that befell Terry Gilliam's "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" a film that folded after only six days of filming following a catalogue of disasters which stretch the bounds of credibility. In turns funny and excruciating, Lost In La Mancha is an utterly gripping piece of movie voyeurism.

MY COUSIN VINNY (1991)
Certification15 Our Rating
Excellent courtroom comedy starring Joe Pesci as an offbeat just-qualified lawyer, dispatched to the Deep South to defend his young cousin (and friend) from a bogus murder charge. Pesci is superb, as is Marisa Tomei, his nasal New York fiancee who's sassy performance peps up the whole thing and won her an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

SWINGERS (1997)
Certification15 Our Rating
Hip 'n' happening comedy following a bunch of angst-ridden male buddies as they trawl LA's grooviest nightspots in the age old quest for love and the meaning of life or, failing that, a quick shag. A sharp script and top performances from an unknown cast in this deliriously funny feelgood film.
