Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee

A short and sweet mockumentary that was remarkably made in just five days.

St Trinian's

For a brainless girl’s night in you can’t really go wrong with this simple comedy outing – unless you’re a man or over thirty, in which case, steer well clear.

The Invention Of Lying

Clever? Certainly. Funny? Not really.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

A classic film score, stylish characters and memorable gunfights make this without doubt the greatest Western ever made.

The Soloist

This fascinating character study amongst the underbelly of Los Angeles powerfully drowns out any cheesy sentimentality.

Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray has it’s redeeming features but it all seems a bit underwhelming – more of a BBC2 period drama deemed too hot for TV.

District 9

This intelligent South African movie is a brilliant combination of social commentary, sci-fi and action.

Funny People

A heart-warming comedy that does the impossible by successfully mixing death, comedy and Adam Sandler.

This less likeable re-run of Borat is just too repetitive.

Katyn

Katyn is at times inaccessible but well worth sticking with, if only to learn about this dark episode from Polish history.
