50 First Dates
- 2004
- US
- 99 min
- 12A
- Directed by: Peter Segal
- Cast: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Rob Schneider, Sean Astin, Lusia Strus, Dan Aykroyd
Charmless reunion of Sandler and Barrymore. The duo were so appealing in The Wedding Singer but this take on Pirandello's Enrico IV fails to recapture past glories.

Cool Hand Luke
- 1967
- US
- 127 min

- Directed by: Stuart Rosenberg
- Cast: Paul Newman
Lucas 'Luke' Jackson (Newman) rewrites the rule book in coolness when he is locked up for a petty crime. Even the officers fall for his laconic charms, but the pressure of remaining on a pedestal soon takes its toll. Remember, nobody can eat fifty eggs. Superb adaptation of Donn Pearce's Christ allegory novel. Highly recommended.

Girl, Interrupted
- 2000
- US
- 15
- Directed by: James Mangold
- Cast: Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Whoopi Goldberg
Ryder plays Susanna Kaysen, whose memoirs of her time spent in a mental institution in the late 60s provide the basis for this film, but the star of the show is Lisa (Jolie), a gorgeous, unpredictable sociopath who establishes herself as Susanna's best friend and worst enemy. The film does veer too far into tissue territory, but this remains a sensitive and persuasive piece of work.

Happy Feet

- U
- Directed by: George Miller, Warren Coleman, Judy Morris
- Written by: Warren Coleman, John Collee, George Miller, Judy Morris
- Cast: Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving
A clumsily plotted but totally charming animated musical from the makers of Babe about tap dancing and singing penguins deep in Antarctica. With solid songs and some genuinely excellent voiceover performances, Happy Feet is probably the best of the Christmas family films.

- Written by: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
- Cast: David Niven, Kim Hunter, Roger Livesey, Raymond Massey, Marius Goring
A witty and stylish film that rises above its beginnings as a piece of wartime propaganda about goodwill between Britain and the US. Niven is an RAF pilot who finds himself before a heavenly tribunal when he bales out of his burning plane.
