This easily accessible film about a dark period in Romania’s history is interspersed with warm humour, drama and food-for-thought throughout.
The Lives of Others
The Lives of Others takes a serious look at the suspicion and claustrophobia of the old East Germany with admirable authenticity and humanity.
A Serious Man
A Serious Man tackles some big questions but this occasionally funny dark comedy is a little too clever for it’s own good and is just not engrossing enough to grip the casual viewer.
Rocky
Rocky is the definitive sports movie and Sylvester Stallone’s greatest work. Every boy must see this as a rite of passage into manhood. Adriaaaan!
The Men Who Stare at Goats
This fast-paced, witty and smart blend of the Star and Iraq wars is one of the best military satires to date.
Beowulf
This was never going to be a classic but it’s got a timeless story, great animation and is a fun watch to be taken with a pinch of salt.
