With spectacular cinematography, an awesome soundtrack and a superb performance by James Franco, Danny Boyle gives us an inspiring, life-affirming movie from the most unlikely of stories.

A…A…An excellent take on one member of the royal family’s attempts to overcome a debilitating speech impediment. Far more interesting than it sounds.

Controversy, biting satire and shocking violence all sit comfortably together to leave the money-obsessed American Dream of the Eighties in tatters. American Psycho is also the film that catapulted Christian Bale into the A-list from where he’s never looked back.

Epic storytelling at its best, Jim Weir, ably supported by at least half a dozen excellent performances, has done an inspiring tale justice.

Think Dumb and Dumber but with more class, laughs and likeability and a valid reason the two main characters act like they do. Would be a comedy classic if it wasn’t Norwegian.
