The Accidental Spy

It’s stupid, but it’s also decent entertainment – and anyone who considers themselves an action movie fan MUST see the truck sequence. No excuses.

Oodishon

A slow-burning psychological thriller that builds ominously and inexorably to its shocking pay-off and then leaves you squirming in your seat – but with enough subtlety and depth that for days afterwards you will be trying to pick up the pieces. 'Audition' is a meditative, melancholic masterpiece that is not for the squeamish.

The Shining

One of the horror genre’s finest, this isn’t a film to watch if you’re about to spend the winter alone. In a hotel. Full of ghosts. And axes.

Serial Experiments: Lain

Unnerving, uncategorisable animé that might just make you lose your grip on reality.

Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no tobira

A stylishly created piece of anime – the storyline’s a little cluttered, but it’s still decent entertainment.

Circus

Convoluted, poorly structured, miscast, and not really worth the bother.

Another 48 Hrs

With its unfathomable storyline, lazy script, thoroughly dislikeable characters and half-hearted performances, this is one you can definitely afford to miss.

The Matrix

Perhaps not as great as it first seemed, but still a cracker.

Final Destination

A pleasingly stupid shockfest that’s a cut above the average.

Ringu

A marvellously made horror that's guaranteed to give you the willies. Watch it with the phone off the hook!
