  • Barry Lyndon (1975)
    Review preview for Barry Lyndon

    Kubrick badly misses the mark with this film, not in quality, but by a whole decade. It simply does not fit into the 1970s.

    Donald Munro · 4.5 out of 5
    The rise and fall of an Irish rogue.
  • The Devils (1971)
    Review preview for The Devils

    It’s a frenetic ride, but one that builds to a sombre climax.

    Jeff Robson · 4.5 out of 5
    A rebellious priest in 17th-century France is falsely accused of witchcraft.
  • The Emperor's New Clothes (2002)
    Review preview for The Emperor's New Clothes

    The film continually and cleverly explores the line between fiction and reality, falsehood and authenticity.

    Monica Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5
    Napoleon Bonaparte escapes his island exile to discover a simpler life in Paris.
  • Ghost Story (1974)
    Review preview for Ghost Story

    Unfortunately, the film’s 90-odd minutes feel like a trudge.

    James Benefield · 2 out of 5
    Old school pals visit a country mansion but their relaxing plans are scuppered by an insane ghost.
  • The Phantom Of The Opera (2004)
    Review preview for The Phantom Of The Opera

    A considerably flawed, yet visually superb, tale of beauty, beast and love.

    Josh Morrall · 3 out of 5
    Phantom of the opera sings once again that strange duet, this time to the tune of Andrew Lloyd Weber.
  • A Taste Of Honey (1961)
    Review preview for A Taste Of Honey

    A Taste Of Honey is a strange beast. Its components are excellent and yet the film as a whole is uninteresting.

    Keith Dudhnath · 2.5 out of 5
    Kitchen sink drama about a pregnant woman who moves in with her gay pal.
