The Curse of the Jade Scorpion

This fun, screwball period comedy is about as good a starting point as budding Woody Allen fans could hope to come across.

The Pink Panther

The Big Bounce

Fun in the sun. Just a pity it’s for the actors, and not for us.

The Woodsman

Watch this gripping drama about a child molester's struggle against his own inclinations if you want to see the problem of paedophilia handled with more intelligence, sensitivity and balance than the tabloids can muster – if not, then watch it for Kevin Bacon's performance.
