A Blade In The Dark 1983
Cross-dressing murder mayhem unfolds in this low-budget Italian thriller about a young film composer discovering a shocking truth in the heavily guarded last reel of a new horror film
A Clockwork Orange 1971
Famous for the controversy surrounding copycat violence and Kubrick's decision to withdraw it in 1973, A Clockwork Orange can now be judged for what it is: an intelligent, visually stunning, disturbing and yet queasily entertaining adaptation of what was already a great work of literature
A One And A Two 2000
Long but resolutely humane family saga set in Taipei, Taiwan. Young love, long-lost love and mid-life crisis handled with adept subtlety by writer/director Edward Yang
A.I. Artificial Intelligence 2001
Spielberg channels Kubrick to produce an ambitious, troubling sci-fi quest movie about a robot boy obsessed with the love of his flesh and blood mother
Abduction Club, The 2001
A funked-up historical chase movie, featuring wenches, dashing swashbucklers and venomous baddies in dodgy wigs. Almost fun if you are in the mood
About A Boy 2002
A 12-year-old boy helps Hugh Grant get over his inner child in this gently subversive comedy of 21st century relationships based on the novel by Nick Hornby and directed by the brothers responsible for American Pie
About Adam 2000
Casanova is on the loose in Dublin. Stuart Townsend stars as the hunk desired by five members of one family
Abraham Lincoln 1930
The life and times of the sixteenth American president, as told by the first master of American cinema. Director Griffith's first talkie, it's an enjoyable blend of comedy, melodrama, patriotism and politics
Adventures Of Prince Achmed, The 1926
Arguably the first ever feature length animated film, The Adventures Of Prince Achmed is a fascinating period piece and a fine work of art
Affair Of The Necklace, The 2001
Oscar winner Hilary Swank dons a big frilly frock to blend in with 18th century French society in this Dangerous Liaisons-lite tale of betrayal and intrigue in the court of Louis XVI
Affair To Remember, An 1957
Definitive version of Leo McCarey's thrice-made love story. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr are both engaged to someone else when they fall in love on board a cruise ship bound for New York
African Queen, The 1951
C.S. Forester's straightforward adventure story became a beautifully understated yet unforgettably steamy and tense thriller in the hands of John Huston. Sizzles with the chemistry between stars Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn
Ai No Corrida 1976
Based on a true story from pre-war Japan, this is an intense, controversial and erotic film long banned by the BBFC
Airplane! 1980
The Zucker brothers' riotous send-up of 50s B-movies and 70s disaster flicks not only spawned a whole legion of sight-gag-laden spoofs but also introduced the world to the concept of Leslie Nielsen as a comic actor
Akira 1988
Astonishing epic of Japanese animation from writer-director Katsuhiro Otomo set in a violent near-future Tokyo
Alfie 1966
Thoroughly dated by its misogyny, but entertaining and finely-crafted nevertheless, Lewis Gilbert's tale of a cynical Cockney lecher contains a prime turn from Michael Caine. A great document of 60s London
Ali 2001
Hollywood heavy-hitters Will Smith and Michael Mann unite to tell the story of the legendary boxer, stripped of his heavyweight title for refusing to fight in the Vietnam War
Ali G Indahouse 2002
The big-screen debut of one of British TV's most successful comedy figures for years. Over the top, unsubtle, slightly offensive and very, very funny
Alice 1990
Mia Farrow plays Woody Allen as a woman, without the laughs, in Woody's rather earnest and ill-considered attempt to write a chick flick. Hardly vintage Allen
All Ladies Do It 1992
"It's a bad period I just have to get through". The saucy tale of a young wife's sexual liberation in modern Italian society. Perplexing and vivacious in equal doses
All Over Me 1997
Compelling coming of age drama sees two teenage friends facing up to the horrors of drugs, death and 'personal growth' in Hell's Kitchen, NYC
Alligator 1980
A giant alligator starts chewing its way through the good people of Chicago in this likeable if dated post-Jaws monster movie. Robert Foster stars
Almost Famous 2000
Cameron Crowe's charming semi-autobiographical tale of early Seventies rock, sex and maybe a few drugs. Scooped two awards at the 2001 Golden Globes
Amélie 2001
Wilfully whimsical, richly humorous fable from Delicatessen director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. A cute oddball living in picturesque Montmartre applies herself to helping others find love
Amadeus: The Director's Cut 2002
Rock me, Amadeus! Milos Forman's 1984 Oscar-winner returns to enthral a new generation with its sweeping saga of genius, jealousy and betrayal - and now it's even better
Amants Du Pont Neuf, Les 1991
Acclaimed by some as a masterpiece, and as overhyped pretentiousness by others, this was the most expensive French film ever made. A visual feast, if nothing else
Amazing Mr Blunden, The 1972
Vintage British children's cinema from actor-director Lionel Jeffries. Two children get involved in a creepy, tragic adventure involving ghosts and time travel
American Pie 2 2001
The sequel to the 1999 hit comedy American Pie, this reunites the entire cast for a summer tale of beach parties, teen angst and - of course - sex. More notable - and enjoyable - for its well-crafted laddish humour than for its romantic storylines
American Psycho II: All American Girl 2002
College student Rachael Newman will do anything to become her professor's assistant next semester, even if it means killing three of her classroom rivals in this unremarkable and tenuously related cash-in sequel
American Werewolf in London, An 1981
Two hapless American guys lost on the Yorkshire moors end up as a werewolf snack. The one who survives has to face up to his impending lycanthropy in this funny and inventive take on the monster genre from John Landis
Amores Perros 2000
An outstanding debut from Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu, the impassioned Amores Perros splices together three interlocking stories which cut the across the class divides of contemporary Mexico City
An American in Paris 1951
An exuberant Gene Kelly stars in a musical love story set against the painterly backdrop of bohemian Paris
Andrei Rublev 1966
The horror of 15th century Russia as witnessed by the fabled icon painter is among the strangest, most wonderful epics ever to grace the big screen, thanks to director Andrei Tarkovsky
Angel at My Table, An 1990
Kerry Fox leads Jane Campion's sensitively-handled biography of poet Janet Frame. Misdiagnosed with schizophrenia, she spent eight years in a psychiatric ward before finding fame as an award-winning writer
AntiTrust 2001
21st century corporate espionage thriller for Generation Y. Stars Ryan Phillipe as an unfeasibly good-looking computer genius who discovers his employers have a sinister hidden agenda
Apartment, The 1960
Vintage, multiple award-winning Billy Wilder satire-cum-romance with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine
Apocalypse Now 1979
Martin Sheen journeys through Vietnam and Cambodia to terminate flipped-out renegade US colonel Marlon Brando. But his mission becomes a screaming trip into madness, stunningly realised by Coppola's hallucinogenic direction and a cast dragged from Hollywood's Narcotics Anonymous
Apocalypse Now Redux 2001
Francis Ford Coppola's legendary Vietnam epic, now with 50 extra minutes of footage. Only a restored sequence set in a French plantation truly enhances our understanding of the film
Appleseed 1994
Anime about a future city where human rebels are fighting an increasingly violent campaign against their computer overlords. From the manga by Masamune Shirow, the creator of Ghost In The Shell
Arabian Nights 1974
Pasolini's exuberant, fleshy adaptation of ten of the titillating tales of the Arabian Nights. Mildly erotic, slightly deranged, and beautifully entertaining, this is one of the Italian director's finest works
Armageddon 1998
Overlong action thriller starring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. A weak script is almost made up for by some spectacular special effects and the interesting proposition of New York being dusted by a giant asteroid
Army Of Darkness: Evil Dead III 1993
The third and weakest instalment in the Evil Dead saga. More fun with chain saws and entrails
Arsenic And Old Lace 1944
A weird and wonderful black comedy about two murderous old spinsters, with an eye-poppingly comic performance from Cary Grant
Art of War, The 2000
Wesley Snipes plays a UN security expert who becomes embroiled in a convoluted action thriller, with its title rather pretentiously lifted from a book of ancient Chinese management theory
Asoka 2001
Moving Bollywood epic about the life of ancient India's Emperor Asoka, with romance, heartbreak, intrigue, and a dash of Buddhist wisdom
Assault on Precinct 13 1976
An afro-bouncing, pump action bloodbath from cult director John Carpenter, with a humour as broad as the cast's improbably acred flares
Atlantic City 1980
Engrossing but flawed thriller/romance hybrid starring Burt Lancaster as an ageing, aspirational petty criminal and Susan Sarandon as the object of his desires
Atlantis 1991
Luc Besson's hymn to marine biology. A beautifully filmed collage of images and music, the result is an ambient aquatic odyssey
Audition 1999
A nerve-shredding feminist psycho-thriller from Japan, which begins innocuously enough before climaxing in scenes of unspeakable sadistic violence and bizarre hilarity
Austin Powers In Goldmember 2002
The Austin Powers trilogy eats itself, with a conveyor belt of old jokes climaxing in the unexpected revelation of Dr Evil and the International Man of Mystery's true relationship
Awful Dr Orloff, The 1961
When the face of Dr Orlof's daughter is severely mutilated by fire, the demented surgeon sends his blind slave Morpho out to kidnap young girls for use in skin-graft operations
