Keanu

A catnapping leads to violence and hilarity on the streets of LA. Brilliant, hilarious, idiotic, Key & Peele. So much fun.

Cube

6 people wake up in a room. To get out they have to solve puzzles. Get the puzzle wrong and they die. Intense, nasty, intelligent. 90 minutes long. Perfect.

Christine

The story of Christine Chubbuck. A 1970's reporter trying to move forward in her career. Brutal, stunning, absolutely compelling. Rebecca Hall is amazing as the lead.

The Square

A funny in places shocking look at the self important world of modern art where a new exhibit in a Stockholm museum raises more than a few eyebrows.

Bad Day For The Cut

A Northern Irish revenge thriller sees a farmer out for retribution when tragedy hits home. Black comedy that's as dark as it gets. Susan Lynch is on blistering form as a baddie you'll love to hate.

The Belko Experiment

Office workers are locked in together and no one can leave until there's only one survivor. If you despise your job and co-workers this is the perfect movie to enjoy vicariously. Good crunchy fun.

Infernal Affairs

2 men are uncover in Hong Kong. One in the triads, one in the police. Both are after each other. Remade in 2006 as The Departed, this is a far more subtle and involving watch.

Miss Sloane

Miss Sloane is a Washington lobbyist who's too good at her job. A cracking look at the venal world of politics and the sexual politics within.

Charlie Bartlett

The story of Charlie, the new kid in an intimidating school. A spiritual sequel to Ferris Bueller's day off but with a far more likeable lead played by the much missed Anton Yelchin.

Joint Security Area

A murder is committed in the no man's land between North and South Korea. A murder that makes no sense at all. An excellent thriller, tense as hell. 

Quigley Down Under

Tom Selleck. In a western. Set in Australia. So much better than it sounds. It's one of the most underrated and fun films of the early 90's. Plus bad guy Alan Rickman is always good.

Daughters Of The Dust

The life and times of 3 generations of African Americans living on an island off the coast of Georgia and the culture and traditions they developed through isolation. An absolute stunner of a film.

Miracle Mile

A man takes a phone call telling him the end of the world is coming. All hell breaks loose. A brilliant slice of totally unpredictable 80's madness.

Loving

A man and a woman aren't allowed to marry due to the colour of their skin. They go ahead and do it anyway. A heartbreaking look at the power of love. Ruth Negga is immense.

Eight Men Out

The heartbreaking story of one of the biggest sporting scandals of the 20th century. Plus an amazing cast. Wait til you see their baba faces.

Mean Creek

6 friends go on a boat ride. What happens will ensure you'll never let your kids out of your sight ever again. Stunning acting in this.

Spike Island

Teens need Stone Roses tickets. They are nowhere to be found. Teens improvise. A funny, lovely and intensely nostalgic look at a nicer time.
