Spruced up for 2001 with digital stereo sound, the sci-fi thriller that launched the careers of James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger into the stratosphere is still endlessly entertaining
Terra Trema, La 1948
The second film from Italian marxist director Luchino Visconti depicts the trials of life in a small Sicilian fishing village. Uncompromisingly bleak neo-realism

Tense and terse drama about a female teenage Tamil assassin preparing for a suicide bombing, built around an arresting central performance from Ayesha Dharkar

The Battleship Potemkin 1925
Eisenstein's celebrated documentary style re-creation of the 1905 anti-Tsarist uprising by Russian sailors is a meticulous exercise in montage, stirring visuals - and propaganda
The Birth Of A Nation 1915
Or more accurately the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. A pivotal moment in the evolution of cinema, Griffith's sprawling historical epic follows the lives of two families divided by the Civil War. It's also an appallingly misguided piece of racist propaganda

The great Marlene Dietrich in her first major role as Lola, the seductive star of a sleazy nightclub. A sensual tale of moral degradation

Denzel Washington is a detective who overcomes the limitations of his quadriplegia by teaming up with reluctant rookie Angelina Jolie to track a fiendish killer. A smart horror thriller with a dash of romance

The Devil's Backbone 2001
A rich tale of greed and ghosts set during the Spanish Civil War. Quality drama from Guillermo Del Toro

Light hearted martial arts extravaganza featuring some of Hong Kong cinema's hottest young stars. Despite comedy, combat, and cool CGI effects, it's let down by poor plotting and a rambling script
The Element of Crime 1984

Pleasant but unenthralling account of one of the last days in the life of legendary German playwright Bertolt Brecht

The Gore-Gore Girls 1972

The Guru 2002

The Last Metro 1980
Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star in François Truffaut's award-winning depiction of a theatre company's struggle to keep the show on the road in Nazi-occupied France. Moving, multi-layered drama that considers art, racism and illicit love

A troupe of strange misfits present their Magnetic Theatre to a cynical audience out to prove them as fakes and charlatans in Bergman's intense metaphorical comedy
The Magnificent Seven Ride! 1972

Marlon Brando, Stephanie Beacham and Thora Hird feature in Michael Winner's pointless prequel to Henry James' 'The Turn Of The Screw'. Occasionally lurid but generally lame attempt at psychodrama in which two horrible kids commit a double murder
The Others 2001
Spaniard Alejandro Amenábar directs Nicole Kidman in this fabulously atmospheric supernatural movie with all the ingredients of vintage haunted house stories - an isolated mansion, borderline insanity and sensitive children.
The Paradine Case 1947
Ann Todd and Gregory Peck star in this Hitchcock directed, Selznick produced courtroom drama. One of their less inspired creations
The Ruling Class 1972
Starring Peter O'Toole in an Oscar-nominated performance as the 14th Earl of Gurney. He's mad, bad but amusing to know in this flawed satire on the aristocracy
The Score 2001
Brando! De Niro! But even two Godfathers have trouble salvaging this heist caper set in the entirely unglamorous location of Montreal
The Seventh Seal 1957
Affectionately referenced in many movies - most famously Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey - the great Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal features, as its central motif, a knight taking on Death at a game of chess. The prize? His life

The Wizard of Oz 1939
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." Exuberant landmark of both children's entertainment and 1930s Technicolor filmmaking. Inventive, fantastical, colourful - and a surprisingly dark and complex tale about economics and the miseries of childhood
Theatre Of Blood 1973
Shakespeare has never been so much fun... Vincent Price chews the scenery as the ham actor extracting a bloody revenge on the critics who ended his career
Theatre Of Death 1967
Theatrical murder mystery with Christopher Lee as the Machiavellian director of a grisly Parisian stage show. Murder, cannibalism and insanity contribute to a good-looking but faintly lifeless example of 60s horror

This brilliant road movie puts women in the driving seat. Thelma and Louise shoot a would-be rapist, and fearing the consequences, head for Mexico with the cops in pursuit

Thirteen Days 2000
A brilliant re-enactment of the US-Soviet spat over Cuba that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Surprisingly, it overcomes the small problem of everyone knowing the ending
Thomas Crown Affair, The 1999
Pierce Brosnan steps into Steve McQueen's brogues in this update of the 1968 film. It's less cool and far more dominated by flashy pyrotechnics, but this is still an entertaining adult thriller
Three Colours: Blue 1993
An extraordinary film. The first in Kieslowski's acclaimed Three Colours trilogy is cerebral yet compelling, looks and sounds superb, and features a mesmerising performance from Juliette Binoche
Three Colours: Red 1994
The last in the Trilogy is the best of these three great films. A young model (Jacob) befriends a judge and they discover how loneliness can lead to friendship - of sorts

The second part of Kieslowski's excellent Three Colours trilogy, a cutting, black comedy about a hapless hairdresser and the 'revenge' he takes on the wife who dumped him

Kurosawa's full-throated, swiftly kinetic version of Shakespeare's Macbeth. A bloody, eerie, visceral masterpiece

Thug Life 2000
Violence and rhyme in Houston's Southside featuring rappers Napoleon, Willie D. and Lady of Rage. Valiant attempt at low budget gangsta action that runs out of juice a little too soon
Tigerland 2000
Gritty boot-camp drama that continues the rehabilitation of director Joel Schumacher. The unknown cast and the Dogme-style cinematography add a freshness to the otherwise familiar subject of Vietnam
Time Bandits 1981
Terry Gilliam's deranged, delightful foray into (and out of) world history. Starring John Cleese, Michael Palin and Sean Connery
Time For Drunken Horses, A 2001
Downbeat, painfully realistic Iranian feature telling the moving story of a group of young orphans and their struggle for survival
Time Machine, The 1960
The 1960 version of the HG Wells' sci-fi benchmark. Its a travesty of the book's humanitarian socialist message, but has become a genre classic in its own right
Titan A.E. 2000
At times visually interesting but awkward animated space odyssey from the creators of Anastasia. After Earth is destroyed by an alien race, a teenage survivor voiced by Matt Damon attempts to reunite humanity
Together 2000
Prog-rock, free love and flares scare the neighbours in this sly ensemble comedy from Sweden's hottest director. Moodysson's hilarious film effortlessly sends up the bourgeois core of middle-class refuseniks who form a commune in mid-70s suburban Stockholm
Tokyo Drifter 1966
Blood and bullets abound while crazy pop-kids strut their 1960s stuff in this fractured, tripped-out Japanese yakuza flick
Tommy 1975
Worth watching, just in case you ever took The Who seriously. A pompous, overwrought slurry of unintelligible psychedelia, gigantic egos and ridiculous costumes. Thoroughly unwatchable
Tomorrow Never Dies 1997
Pierce Brosnan's 007 takes on Jonathan Pryce's megalomaniac media baron in this enjoyable update on the tried and tested formula. Efficient action, gleaming product placement and, in Michelle Yeoh, a convincing foil for Bond
Tora! Tora! Tora! 1970
Suitably large-scale reconstruction of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, bravely told from the combined points of view of both nations
