Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Definitely weird and very nearly wonderful – and you’ll never look at your local newsreader in the same way again.

Cellular

It’s silly, it’s massively unbelievable, and it features the most grossly cynical amount of product placement you’re likely to see – but it’s just about exciting enough to be a guilty pleasure.

Collateral

Even Cruise’s dodgy barnet can’t take away from the fact that this is the best thriller of 2004.

Layer Cake

Make sure you grab a slice of the cake.

Against the Ropes

A film where the only thing skimpier than its star’s outfits is the storyline.

Batoru rowaiaru II: Rekuiemu

An inferior sequel-cum-remake of a film that wasn’t particularly great in the first place.

Before Sunset

Enjoyable while it lasts – but chances are you’ll have forgotten it before sunset.

The Calcium Kid

A boxing comedy minus the punch line.

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso

A delightful piece of cinema, made for the cinema, about the cinema. Did I remember to use the word “cinema”?

Out of Reach

Wonderfully, wonderfully, crap.
