Well at least we get to see him in more leather in this one. Though one could quite possibly live without it.

Still an impressive and disturbing brink-of-doom thriller.

One too many jokes about Dick Van Dyke's dire Cawk-nee accent can drag a movie down.

Make a date to catch this on the big screen and be rewarded with pure magic.

This remains a compelling Hitchcock thriller but it's Tippi Hedron's remarkable central performance which steals the show.

Creepy Price in all his gnarled splendour.

Unlike in The Pink Panther, Clouseau was the real star here.

As a spectacular war film with a powerful moral dimension, Zulu pre-dates Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan by more than three decades. Like the defence of Rorke's Drift itself, its legend grows with the passing of time.

A cracking cold war story.

Elvis not only rocks the city of lights but also showed he could act.

Tragic and tender Fuller classic. Way ahead of its time.

Certainly difficult to define, this period piece messes with genres, power relationships and your head.

The collapse of the Cold War may have left Kubrick's satire on mutually assured destruction less relevant than it was, but it still features Peter Sellers' finest three performances as well as proving that the supposedly humourless Kubrick was up for a laugh.

Disney’s adaptation of the first book in T. W. White’s colourful Arthurian trilogy The Once And Future King (which also served as the source for the musical Camelot) is formulaic matinee fare, competent and sprightly but undistinguished.

Perhaps the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made.

This lesser known Kurosawa feature is worth a look, with outstanding performances and stunning cinematography.

The definitive wacky screwball comedy that spawned a genre.

Polanski arrived on the scene with an almost super-human knack for tension; one of the great directorial debuts in cinema's history.

If Tom Jones now feels something of a product of its times, it still deserves credit for attempting something new - no matter how derivative.

An uplifting film that cemented the reputation of its star.

It's one of the most highly-wrought (indeed, overwrought) films ever made, with art direction, editing, sound effects, weird camera angles and lighting orchestrated to fill every frame with hints of the unsettling.

Despite some inventive photography and decent gore for its day, its uneven pace renders it a curio for Coppola fans.

The final act of The Great Escape is a masterfully sustained piece of action and tension as the various escapees struggle for freedom via train, bicycle, motorbike, row boat and hitchhiking. The Great Escape should always be seen. It reminds us of a history that is all too quickly forgotten.

A sprawling anything-goes portrait of the artist and the creative process in crisis.

For sheer old-fashioned, childhood rekindling adventure you really can't go past it - just don't take the rose-tinted glasses off.

Running at just over four hours, it is as spectacular, lush and extravagant as the studio would have liked its audience to believe. But it also has moments of mind-numbing boredom as the plot,– slowed by extraneous dialogue, drags from Egypt to Rome.

Lemmon and Maclaine fail to reproduce the chemistry from The Apartment but this slight film is not as ignorable as reputation suggests.

Newman is at his very best, and the cinematography is backing him up every step of the way. Must-see material.
