Big
- 1988
- US
- 1h 44min
- 12
- Directed by: Penny Marshall
- Written by: Gary Ross, Anne Spielberg
- Cast: Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia, John Heard
Twelve-year-old Josh (David Moscow) has no luck with the school beauty because of his diminutive stature. However, upon discovering a neglected fairground wishing machine, he wakes next morning to find himself wrapped in adult packaging (Hanks). Of all the body-swap movies, Big is by far the most successful, because Hanks offers a most appealing characterisation as the dopey innocent at large, and because it treats the situation with a little intelligence.

The Exorcist (Director's Cut)
- 1973 (2000)
- US
- 2h 12min
- 18
- Directed by: William Friedkin
- Cast: Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Lee J. Cobb, Kitty Winn, Jack MacGowran, Jason Miller, Linda Blair
Writer William Peter Blatty always griped that in excising twenty minutes from The Exorcist, Friedkin removed its moral centre and obscured its theological message. To Blatty's horror, some people thought the Devil won. Friedkin has reinstated eleven minutes of footage, and the re-editing job is done so lovingly that fans are unlikely to feel cynically exploited. Even so, Friedkin's cuts have mostly been vindicated but it now feels too long, while the infamous 'spider walk' scene merely adds a cheap and redundant shock.

Halloween
- 1978
- US
- 1h 31min
- 18
- Directed by: John Carpenter
- Written by: John Carpenter, Debra Hill
- Cast: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, PJ Soles, Nancy Loomis
The first and best of the series – and one of the best of all slasher movies. Escaped psycho Michael Myers returns to the town where he killed his sister several years before and picks up where he left off with remarkable ease. Pleasence is the obsessive psychiatrist on his trail, convinced he is to blame for the escape. A scary reminder of what a blood-soaked genre could achieve if only it recovered from sequelitis.

Three 17th century witches are brought back to life in modern-day Salem, and go searching for young blood to keep them immortal. Max (Katz) is our hapless hero, helped out of one predicament to the next by resourceful heroine Allison (Vinessa Shaw). The story cracks along, the effects are moderate, the gags good, but it's for the younger end of the teen market.

Maud (Clark) is an obsessively religious nurse, working in palliative care for retired dancer Amanda (Ehle), whose uninhibited lifestyle sets Maud on edge.
