• Soldier Blue (1970)

  Review preview for Soldier Blue

  Soldier Blue's intentions are laudable, but the end result is laughable.

  Survivors of a Cheyenne massacre talk and walk and find their emotions in a tangle.
• 
  Cheech And Chong's Nice Dreams (1981)

  Cheech and Chong do what they do best - sell drugs and fall about.
• 
  Peep Show: Series 1 (2003)

  Review preview for Peep Show: Series 1

  Mitchell and Webb have been a double act for quite some time and this is apparent in their inspired interplay.

  Classic odd couple flatmates TV sitcom, with tried and tested stand-up double act.
• 
  Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life (1983)

  Review preview for Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life

  In terms of comedy, belly laughs and unfortunate little accidents making a mess of the sofa, the Pythons has never been better.

  A sketch show on film from the makers of Life Of Brian.
• 
  The Return Of Martin Guerre (1982)

  Review preview for The Return Of Martin Guerre

  Depardieu gives as strong a performance as he ever has and he's not let down by the supporting cast, that is superb.

  A soldier returns home from war in 1542 in France and is accused of being an imposter.
• 
  The Wolf Man (1941)

  Review preview for The Wolf Man

  Such subtlety, in what is the most overt of film genres, is a wonder to behold.

  Horror classic, starring Lon Chaney Jr as a werewolf.
• 
  2DTV: Series 3 (2003)

  Review preview for 2DTV: Series 3

  The humour doesn't even reach the promised two dimensions.

  Animated TV impression sketch show.
• Directors Commentary (2004)

  Spoof commentary series.
• Family Guy Compendium (1999)

  Review preview for Family Guy Compendium

  Comedy perfection.

  A surreal and downright hilarious look at the life of a cartoon family.
• 
  The Last Laugh (1924)

  Review preview for The Last Laugh

  Technically impressive, indeed ground-breaking.

  A hotel doorman suffers the ignominy of being demoted to lavatory attendant.
• 
  Maitresse (1976)

  Review preview for Maitresse

  Many of the scenes are fairly explicit, but as the film sets out to observe, rather than make judgements, nothing feels shocking, salacious, pornographic or disturbing.

  The love life of a dominatrix prostitute.
• 
  Biker Boyz (2003)

  Review preview for Biker Boyz

  From the outset, Biker Boyz feels like every sporting film that has been before.

  A young man tries to become the fastest motorcyclist in California.
• 
  The Lion In Winter (1968)

  Review preview for The Lion In Winter

  The Lion In Winter is a film made stunning by the performances of Hepburn and O'Toole. They both thrive on James Goldman's tight script.

  Henry II chooses an heir, while all those around him plot.
• Harrison's Flowers (2000)

  A woman stumbles into the war in Yugoslavia in search of her husband.
• 
  The Hitcher (1986)

  Review preview for The Hitcher

  Despite everything the film has to offer, it mostly left me cold.

  A thriller about a hitch-hiker with murderous intent.
• 
  Angry Kid (2003)

  Animation shorts about an annoying child.
• 
  Cinema Paradiso (1988)

  Review preview for Cinema Paradiso

  Cinema Paradiso is a wonderful film, completely faultless.

  A story of love of the cinema and love of a woman.
• 
  The Centre Of The World (2001)

  A man pays a stripper to spend three days with him so that he can get to know her better.
• The Winner (1996)

  Review preview for The Winner

  For all its black humour, sexiness and intrigue, The Winner is lacking something in the final analysis.

  A gambler on a winning streak finds that others will stop at nothing to get their hands on his cash.
• 
  Murder By Decree (1979)

  Review preview for Murder By Decree

  Murder By Decree promises much, but sadly only delivers in patches.

  Sherlock Holmes sets out to capture Jack The Ripper.
• 
  A Better Tomorrow (1986)

  Review preview for A Better Tomorrow

  The film is widely regarded as a classic, but to me it was anything but.

  A gangster tries to quit the violence and reconcile with his cop brother.
• 
  The 400 Blows (1959)

  Review preview for The 400 Blows

  The audience is charmed and enthralled from the very first scene.

  A classic looking at the life of a 12-year-old in Paris.
• The Fast Show Live (1998)

  smash hit BBC TV comedy series from the Nineties is reproduced on stage
• 
  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.

  Kitchen sink drama about a pregnant woman who moves in with her gay pal.
• 
  The Killer (1989)

  Review preview for The Killer

  Carefully treading between cool ruthlessness and moral torment, Chow Yun Fat's acting transcends any language barrier.

  A Triad hitman takes on one last job before leaving for a new life with a blind woman.
• 
  The 51st State (2001)

  Review preview for The 51st State

  Unoriginal and formulaic it may be, but the movie is great fun.

  Sam Jackson in a kilt comes to Liverpool to sell his formula for the new club scene wonder drug.
• 
  Deep In The Woods (2000)

  Review preview for Deep In The Woods

  A chilling experience is promised; amateur pap is delivered.

  Horror tale revolving round retellings of Little Red Riding Hood.
• 
  Prince Of Darkness (1987)

  Review preview for Prince Of Darkness

  You might want to question how this sealed can of Diet Satan can spit evil into the world outside, but, before you do, someone's body is riddled with cockroaches.

  I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by Satan.
• 
  Gil Scott-Heron And His Amnesia Express - Tales Of Gil (1990)

  Review preview for Gil Scott-Heron And His Amnesia Express - Tales Of Gil

  More than enough for fans to enjoy.

  Performance by the social commentator.
• 
  A Place For Annie (1993)

  Review preview for A Place For Annie

  When you realise that this is based on a true story, and that the spread of HIV and AIDS has meant that similar stories are all too frequent, it becomes almost offensive that they've made such a bad film.

  A custody battle for an HIV positive baby is only the beginning.
• 
  Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

  Review preview for Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back

  It feels like an old friend treating us to mindless fun.

  Jay and Silent Bob go to Hollywood to try and stop a movie being made about them
