The Day of the Jackal

Not to be confused with the fairly awful Nineties reimagining, The Day of the Jackal is a marvellously stylish and classy thriller from Frederick Forsythe, the master of suspense.

Fitzcarraldo

A glorious tale of what you can do with you put your mind (and a few hundred slaves) to a task that includes the South American jungle, an opera obsessed nut and an inconsiderately placed mountain.

Zombieland

A fresh and witty zomcom with lots of laughs and great characters that just doesn’t have quite enough to fill the whole film.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

This prequel is much better than the awful title suggests as it exudes an enjoyably throwaway quality. A good way to spend the inevitably rainy summer days.

Marathon Man

One of the best thrillers and finest Dustin Hoffman films out there. But… is it safe?

Captain America: The First Avenger

This fairly uninteresting and unoriginal superhero is saved somewhat by a few decent characters and acting turns.

Jane Eyre

This is not for everyone but is a masterful retelling of a classic novel that offers a new take without abandoning the tone and themes of the book.

The Third Man

The Third Man is a classic film noir with iconic lines, scenes and settings galore, and a storyline that will keep you guessing til the end.

Once Upon a Time in the West

One of the finest Westerns you will ever see, Once Upon a Time in the West offers up great characterisation, masterful storytelling and atmospheric cinematography and score.

Post Mortem

Post Mortem uses a morgue worker, a cabaret dancer and a violent coup d’etat to prove that love and heroism is far from dead. A well-written, interesting, funny and disturbing film.
