A genuine classic of cinema. One of the first sci-fi films ever made and still one of the most fascinating. Echoes of Lang's vision can be seen in almost every apocalyptic sci-fi film made since, especially the struggle of man to overcome the impersonality of machines. Superior to the colour remake, though the new soundtrack falls short of the mark. Turn the sound down and watch it like they did on its first release!

The true story of Karen Silkwood, a worker at the Kerr-McGee nuclear plant in Cimarron, Oklahoma, who becomes aware of cover-ups about the dangers to her and her fellow workers and gets immersed in fighting her bosses for safety rights. The film very effectively mixes her personal life, ex-hubby, boyfriend, lesbian mate, child custody, heart to hearts, and her political struggle. Eventually she discovers she has a highly radioactive fridge and they are out to get her. Meryl Streep is again brill find out more...

The jury's still out on whether director Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Total Recall, Showgirls) is a blatantly gung-ho philistine, or a supreme p**s-taker of all things American. But the fact is, this frenzied, futuristic actioner is a hit of humongous proportions. Extraterrestrial bugs have invaded Earth, so Earth has declared war on Bugland. Casper Van Dien plays square-jawed, all-American boy Johnny Rico, who leads a pack of equally meat-headed raw recruits on a mission to kick some insect-ass on find out more...

This time Arnie has been reprogrammed to protect the young John Connor from the new, improved and extra deadly Terminator model - the T1000. This sequel cost an obscene amount of money to make - and it is worth every penny! State of the art special effects, non-stop action and a plot that works. find out more...

Visually stunning Japanese cyber-punk nightmare destined to become a cult classic in the mould of Eraserhead. The disjointed story follows the descent into madness of a metal-fetishist who, after a car accident, mutates into a metal/flesh cyborg. Surreal, bizarre and tragic, you will be unnerved! find out more...

Luc Besson goes big budget in this hi-tech sci-fi with Bruce Willis as an amiably tongue-in-cheek taxi-driver, Milla Jovovich as the bizarrely bandaged damsel in distress and Gary Oldham as the bad guy with the odd hairdo - and there's even a cameo from Tricky. A movie that delights in firepower, explosions and loudly destructive mayhem but the real stars are Dan Weil's production design, Jean-Paul Gaultier's outlandish costumes and Digital Domain's special effects. find out more...

This deservedly popular shocker is a remake of the 1958 classic. A scientist accidentally fuses himself with a fly while attempting teleportation using himself as a guinea-pig. The special effects are superb. find out more...

Set in 1958, it is a lyrical tale about a giant metal machine that falls from the sky and frightens a small town in Maine. A lonely boy, Hogarth, befriends the kind-hearted alien and, hiding the giant from his mother, teaches him to communicate. The greatest threat, however, comes from the military who are out to destroy this metallic threat to wholesome America. The animation find out more...

An awesome action film that some people rate as the best movie ever made! It's not, but in terms of visual impact and sheer technical wizardry it's hard to beat. It's the near future and nerdy computer hacker Neo (Reeves) is about to discover an alternative reality via a meeting with mysterious rebel warrior Morpheus (Larry Fishburne). Neo learns that life on earth is merely an elaborate farce, a complex computer simulation called The Matrix, and mankind is simply lunch - a source of power for t find out more...
