  ET (1982)
Before the likes of Independence Day and Evolution, there was a time when movie aliens were cute and nice and only wanted to be our friends. Essential Spielberg.


  TAXI DRIVER (1976)
Stone-cold classic. Robert De Niro is electrifying as the Vietnam-scarred taxi driver with a frightening take on the justice system


  LIFE OF BRIAN (1979)
History is rewritten and sacred cows are merrily sacrificed as the Python team unleash their alternative take on certain well-known events from 2,000 years ago.


  SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952)
Gloriously exuberant and abidingly popular musical from the 1950s heyday. Stanley Donen's film sets the Gene Kelly/Debbie Reynolds romance against the fascinating backdrop of the coming of sound in movies.


  LA CONFIDENTIAL (1997)
Brilliant adaptation of James Ellroy's detective novel about three cops facing corrupt businessmen, sleazy journalists and assorted trash in 50s LA.


  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.


  2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)
We know what the year 2001 looks like now, and it doesn't look much like Kubrick's vision. But 2001: A Space Odyssey itself still looks immaculate. Spectacular, trailblazing and philosophical, it's an undisputed masterpiece.


  KES (1969)
Ken Loach's raw, truthful re-telling of Barry Hines's gritty story of a boy's alienation and brutal school life in 60s Yorkshire.


  VERTIGO (1958)
The large man from Leytonstone delivers a literally dizzying thriller which achieves classic status courtesy of an ace, atypical performance from the legendary James Stewart.


  LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962)
Superlative multi-Oscar winning biography of T E Lawrence (played by Peter O'Toole), the Oxford-educated lieutenant, who united Arab tribes against the Ottoman Turks in WW1.
