The
music, the setting, the shower scene, the mother in the cellar...
everything about this iconic film has passed into cinema history.
A genuine virtuoso classic and the grandaddy of all slashers.

It
left a generation of schoolkids afraid to go into a swimming pool,
let alone back into the water. Wunderkind Spielberg's story is all
the scarier for hardly ever showing the Great White that is most
of the characters' nemesis

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.

Jack
Nicholson excels in this multi-Oscar winning, anti-authoritarian
tale, the last of the great counter-culture Hollywood movies.

The
Wachowski brothers' ground breaking, morphing and shattering sci-fi
spectacular. Featuring Keanu Reeves and kung fu like you've never
seen it before.

With
nearly every line of its script engraved on the collective subconscious,
and its central performances of Bogart and Bergman defining iconic

of the outstanding thrillers of the 90s boasts a screenplay that
is both bewildering and utterly, brilliantly logical. A film that
immediately makes you question what you have just seen and whether
it can really have been as good as you think.

A
highpoint of martial arts cinema from Ang Lee no less, which blends
the latest fight effects into a 19th century China epic of love
and valour. Swashbuckling on the grandest of scales, with Chow Yun-Fat
and Michelle Yeoh.

The
world's most acclaimed film, too often on the top ten lists with
critics flexing their reflexes rather than their minds. Even so,
it is mesmerising and the young Welles threw down a challenge to
Hollywood from which neither fully recovered. A masterpiece.

|
A
genuine moment of cinematic genius. The physical and emotional punches
come so thick and fast, you have to check yourself for bruises.
