Hannibal 2001
Hannibal Lecter's third cinematic outing jettisons the conventions of a serial killer movie to indulge in a black comedy. Hopkins reprises his role, while Julianne Moore takes over as Clarice Starling
Hardball 2001
Keanu Reeves stars as a gambler whose self-respect is regained through coaching a young baseball team in this formulaic, emotional US sports movie

Harder They Fall, The 1956
A realistic account of the fight-fixing scandals that blighted American boxing during the 40s and 50s. Humphrey Bogart teams up with Rod Steiger to promote a talentless fighter and soon discovers the real nature of the sport
Harold And Maude 1971
The unlikely story of the love affair between a death-obsessed adolescent and a septuagenarian free spirit has long been a cult movie par excellence
Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets 2002
More of the same in this first sequel, as Harry and friends investigate weird goings on at Hogwarts. The JK Rowling money-making behemoth lumbers onward
Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone 2001
Thorough adaptation of the first instalment of JK Rowling's enormously popular fantasy saga. With some spot-on performances and excellent visuals it will keep children rapt and adults entertained
Harry, He's Here To Help 2000
Darkly comic tale with echoes of Six Degrees Of Separation and The Talented Mr Ripley about a wealthy playboy working himself into the life of a family
Heartbreakers 2001
Wickedly paced comedy starring Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt as a mother and daughter man-eating con-team. Boasts back-to-back hilarious situations and a fine comedic performance from the stately Weaver
Hearts In Atlantis 2001
Warm and fuzzy Stephen King adaptation. A middle-aged photographer reminisces about the summer of 1960, when he first fell in love, stood up to his bitter mother, and learned about life from mysterious lodger Anthony Hopkins
Heaven's Gate 1980
The film that nearly ruined United Artists and threw the career of Deer Hunter director Michael Cimino seriously off track is an excessive, but surprisingly nuanced and often beautiful work of art. A magnificent folly
Hellbound: Hellraiser II 1988
Pinhead returns for the gruesome second instalment in the Hellraiser series. Fails to match the eye popping originality of the first film but still a graphic depiction of what it's like to be flayed alive then eaten
Hellraiser 1987
Clive Barker's chilling classic. A dark, adult horror story of glamorous, exquisite cruelty and brooding menace
Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth 1990
Old pinhead is back, this time relocated to America with all the stomach churning gore and heart stopping moments you'd expect from this superlative horror series
Henry V 1989
Kenneth Branagh's successful directorial debut. Boasts a fine cast of late 20th century British luvvies, and some excellent battle sequences. The dialogue isn't bad either
Hidden Fortress, The 1958
Akira Kurosawa's highly enjoyable, accessible epic set in 16th century Japan. Toshiro Mifune is a samurai escorting a princess through enemy territory, accompanied by two clownish peasants
High Crimes 2002
Tepid military legal thriller from Carl Franklin. Ashley Judd stars a tenacious lawyer who quits her job to defend husband Jim Caviezel when he is charged with murder and arraigned before a military tribunal
High Plains Drifter 1972
Clint Eastwood directs and acts tough in this haunting, stark and brooding morality Western
High Society 1956
A delightful romp through the troubled lives of America's super rich and ridiculous. A Philadelphia Story musical remake that's short on bite but long on glamour and verve
Highlander 1986
A classic of 80s cinema, especially if you were a teenage boy. Before his descent into straight to video limbo, Christopher Lambert starred opposite Sean Connery as a samurai sword-wielding, head-lopping immortal
His Girl Friday 1939
This is the perhaps the greatest screwball comedy of them all. Directed by Howard Hawks and starring Cary Grant (with some extremely talented backup) its relentlessly fast and unremittingly funny dialogue has to be seen to be believed
Hoffman 1970
Bone-dry sex comedy starring Peter Sellers as a middle-aged man who blackmails his soon-to-be-married secretary into sleeping with him for a week
Hole, The 2001
Patchy thrills as shrink Embeth Davidtz pries into the mind of disturbed teen Thora Birch after four schoolkids become trapped in an abandoned World War II bomb shelter
Hollow Man 2000
Contemporary take on the invisible man, utilising computer technology to strip the flesh off Kevin Bacon's mad scientist. Director Paul Verhoeven introduces voyeurism, stalking and slasher movie elements to the traditional formula
Hong Kong 1941 1984
Thoughtful, if occasionally off-kilter romantic drama about three young friends set amid the chaos and carnage of the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in World War II
Hot Shots! 1991
Goof-ball comedy attack on 80s action movie pariah Top Gun. It's hardly subtle, but entertaining enough. Features Charlie Sheen in a superb piece of self parody
House 1986
Quintessentially 80s horror that mixes together creepiness and comedy while trying to work through issues of guilt and post-traumatic stress arising from the Vietnam war experience
Hustler, The 1961
Paul Newman turns in a typically superb early 60s performance in this seedy evocation of American pool halls and the travails of addiction. The moody, atmospheric cinematography garnered a well-deserved Oscar
