Toothless moviemaking satire featuring William Holden as a sozzled screenwriter and Audrey Hepburn as his dizzy assistant. Their fictional romance becomes the real thing amid a Parisian backdrop
Paris, Texas 1984
Wim Wenders' beautiful study of redemption stars Harry Dean Stanton as Travis, the ultimate modern cowboy who has shirked all emotional ties to the point of desert-wandering amnesia. One of the best films of the 80s
Parole Officer, The 2001
Steve Coogan leaves Alan Partridge behind to play an inept parole officer from Manchester who persuades three ex-clients to join him in a hi-tech heist. Actually funny
Passenger 57 1992
Tough guy Wesley Snipes battles airborne baddies in this none-too-convincing action flick
Paths Of Glory 1957
A story designed to make the blood boil: blameless French soldiers carry the can for their superiors' mistakes after a botched WWI assault. A work of genius from Kubrick, with a brilliant performance from Kirk Douglas

Fascinating debunking of American hero General George S Patton with an Oscar-worthy performance from George C Scott: "Grab 'em by the nose and kick 'em in the ass"
Pay It Forward 2000
Overly-schmaltzy update of the tale of the Good Samaritan, introducing the terrifying concept of the chain good deed. Features Oscar winning stars, but fails to make the grade
Pearl Harbor 2001
War-time epic with unprecedentedly exciting battle scenes but with the plot of Rolf Harris' 'Two Little Boys'
Peeping Tom 1960
Seminal study of the serial killer, which predates even Psycho, from director Michael Powell. With its camera-wielding, 'scoptophiliac' killer it's both frightening and fascinating
Piano Teacher, The 2000
Schubert, self-mutilation and porn mix in this tale of human sexuality gone wrong from challenging Austrian director Michael Haneke
Pitch Black 2000
Familiar but full of beans sci-fi B-movie set on a three sunned planet where you really don't want to go out after dark
Plan 9 From Outer Space 1958
Plan 9 From Outer Space is staggering in its ineptitude, and that's what makes it great. A dreadful concept and worse script are executed with slapdash incompetence and a near pathological reliance on 'dramatic licence' to create one of the most unwittingly amusing films ever made
Planet Of The Apes 2001
Fox revives its ape franchise for this uneven action sci-fi flick. Mark Wahlberg is an all-American astronaut who reluctantly turns revolutionary leader to challenge the militaristic apes that oppress humans on an alien planet
Planet Of The Apes 1968
Inspired by Pierre Boulle's novel, this quality sci-fi is given profound power by its central metaphor of apes personifying human cruelty. Charlton Heston at his rugged, moral best
Platform 2000
The impact of China's 1980s 'open door' cultural policy on the lives of a performance troupe is the focus of this mournful study of progress and change
Platoon 1986
Oliver Stone's finest moment, Platoon pounds through the jungles of Vietnam churning up increasingly shocking images of unmitigated horror. Intense, humane and compelling viewing

Police Story 1985
Regarded as Jackie Chan's career peak and featuring some of cinema's most mind-bending stunt sequences, Police Story unleashed a new level of film action and gave Hong Kong cinema a global audience
Police Story II 1988
The further adventures of supercop Jackie Chan: more fights! More mayhem! More outtakes showing the painful consequences of stunts gone wrong!
Pollock 2000
Ed Harris stars in, directs and co-produces this muscular biopic of abstract impressionist artist Jackson Pollock. An ambitious and well executed work
Poor Cow 1967
Worthy - arguably too worthy - kitchen sink drama detailing the trials and tribulations of a young mother in the Sixties. Ken Loach's big screen debut
Porky's 1981
The godfather of a hundred teen and gross-out movies. Not exactly pleasant or consistently funny, but a success in its own rights (and a box office smash to boot)
Pornographer, The 2001
A sparse work from writer-director Bertrand Bonello, which uses the backdrop of the French pornography industry to investigate the male mid-life crisis
Possible Worlds 2001
A police proceedural becomes a speculation on the nature of consciousness in this piece of philosophically-exhilarating near-future Canadian sci-fi

The parents are coming round to dinner and their kids are coming out. A young cast camps up a storm in this breezy French comedy

Princess Bride, The 1987
Jovial swashbuckler directed by Rob Reiner and written by William Goldman. A young boy is non-plussed when his grandfather starts to read him a bedtime story - until it comes to life
Princess Mononoke 1997
A mature, complex, truly epic anime. A young warrior prince gets involved in the conflict between magical beasts and ruthlessly progressive humans in beautifully rendered, suitably grand landscapes
Private Function, A 1985
Pig meat means social success in this post-War comedy of manners, snobbery and social advancement, set in Alan Bennett's Yorkshire
