War Game, The 1966
Oscar-winning 60s BBC docu-drama depicting the after effects of nuclear war. So devastating was the show's potential impact that it was kept from British TV screens for 20 years
Warriors, The 1979
Heavily stylised, beautifully choreographed thriller set in the lurking shadows of late 70s New York. As kitsch as a Kiss t-shirt
Watership Down 1978
A beautifully animated version of Richard Adams' classic tale of rabbits and men. Featuring the voices of John Hurt and Richard Briers and a famously nauseating song from Art Garfunkel
Way Down East 1920
Grand pastoral melodrama by the director of The Birth Of A Nation. An influence on both Walt Disney and Eisenstein, it features a spectacular on-ice finale made without any special effects whatsoever
Way of the Dragon, The 1972
The one where Bruce Lee has an impossibly fast moving fight with Chuck Norris in the colosseum. "Oh, what rippling muscles!"
Wayne's World 1992
The endearing adventures of dumb metal fans and unlikely TV stars Wayne and Garth. Overloaded with amusing catchphrases and puerile humour - schwiing
What Lies Beneath 2000
Hollywood heavyweights Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer join the director of Forrest Gump to take on an old fashioned ghost story
What Women Want 2000
Romantic comedy about a chauvinist advertising creative who acquires the power to read women's thoughts. Elevated from the wholly humdrum by slapstick and slick delivery from stars Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt
When Harry Met Sally 1989
Meg Ryan convinces Billy Crystal that girls are pretty darn good at faking orgasms in this delightful romantic comedy classic
When Love Comes 1998
Patchy New Zealand tale of music, sex, drugs and desire. Rena Owen, of Once Were Warriors fame, is on fine form as a washed-up diva back in town and in the mood for love
Whistle And I'll Come To You 1968
An introverted academic happens upon a whistle while exploring a Templar cemetery on the Norfolk coast, and unleashes horror and terror, in this stunning TV adaptation of a famed Victorian ghost story
White Men Can't Jump 1992
Surprisingly enjoyable basketball comedy. Features a fine sparring partnership between Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson
White Squall 1996
Jeff Bridges stars in Ridley Scott's quality coming-of-age drama, based on a true story. In 1960 a group of schoolboys embark on an eight-month sailing trip round the Caribbean, but when disaster strikes all are tested to the limit
Who Framed Roger Rabbit 1988
Pioneering live action/cartoon fusion that was one of the biggest commercial and critical hits of the late 80s. Stars Bob Hoskins and hundreds of expertly animated cartoon characters
Wicker Man, The 1973
A bona fide cult classic. A repressed, virginal Scottish policeman visits a remote Scottish island to investigate the disappearance of a girl, and becomes embroiled in sexual misadventure and pagan rites
Wild Strawberries 1957
An ageing professor travels with his daughter-in-law to receive an honorary degree. A journey of self-discovery and redemption, and an uncharacteristically warm tale from Bergman, cinema's acknowledged master of the inner life
William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet 1996
Lively, visually-striking big screen adaptation of the Bard's tale of tragic romance. Australian director Baz Luhrmann injects enough verve and colour to win over even the most switched-off GCSE student
Willow 1988
George Lucas pilfers Tolkien in this mish-mash of fantasy lore. Val Kilmer stars as a fearsome warrior, Warwick Davis as a diminutive would-be wizard
Windtalkers 2001
Marine Nicolas Cage slaughters Japanese soldiers while looking troubled and protecting a Navajo 'code-talker' in John Woo's noisy Second World War epic
Wings of Desire 1987
Two elegant angels visit Berlin in 1986. A beautifully designed essay on the history of the city. Inspired The City of Angels, starring Meg Ryan
Winter Light 1963
The second film in Bergman's trilogy about the silence of God, begun with Through A Glass Darkly and completed with The Silence. Reputed to be the great director's favourite of his own works
Withnail and I 1987
The foremost British cult comedy. Two aspiring actors go on holiday by mistake
Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown 1988
A typically tasteless - and entertaining - tale of female trouble from Pedro Almódovar, the Spanish queen of kitsch
Wonder Boys 2000
The first film directed by Curtis Hanson since 1997's LA Confidential. A flawed but likeable portrait of a washed-up weed-smoking former genius
