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!

A wicked little British movie about colourful goings one hot summer on a London housing estate. A touching tale of love friendship, life and sexuality as two next-door neighbours get to know each other in a film you won't want to end. Watch out for the one-liners in the very sassy script. find out more...

A frustrated, highly strung, spectacularly unsuccessful puppeteer inadvertently finds a passage way into the mind of John Malkovich and, uniquely skilled as he is in the art of manipulation, this seems like the perfect opportunity to escape his dead-end life and dull wife. There is little point in trying to explain the story further, you'll just have to watch this fantastically surreal, absurd, dark, gobsmackingly original comedy - the brainchild of a quite obviously seriously warped puppy.

Tim Robbins wrote, directed and stars in a film that exposes very cleverly the underbelly of US politics. He plays the charismatic Roberts, a right-wing "protest" singer, whose views begin to capture the nation's interest. Sinister machinations abound behind the scenes, and the documentary style works well. Funny too!

Eight-year-old Zachary has, so far, enjoyed life as his father's favourite son, as the possessor of a gift for healing and as younger sibling to a tearaway, a jock and a bookworm, but this relatively idyllic childhood in Québec is cast under the shadow of his dad's suspicions when he is discovered wearing a dress. Seven years on it's 1975 and Zac is in thrall to Ziggy Stardust and his cousin's boyfriend, a confusing situation for him, made more complicated by a history of trying to satisfy his d find out more...

Seriously insightful, if saucy, romantic comedy from director Kevin Smith, the genius behind Clerks and Mallrats. Cult comic strip creators Holden (Ben Affleck) and Banky (Jason Lee) have an unshakeable 20 year friendship, until a spanner's thrown into the works in the shapely form of Alyssa, with whom Holden falls immediately and hopelessly in love. That Alyssa is a confirmed lesbian does little to deter the lovestruck Holden, who continues his relentless pursuit with a vigour matched only b find out more...
