The Virgin Suicides 1999, R)
An absolutely beautiful film in every way, where dreamy visuals and score combine with superb performances from the cast. Mysterious, sensual but bleak, you'll carry this film with you a long time after the credits have rolled. My favourite film of all time. |

Donnie Darko 2001, R)
A masterpiece of modern film-making (despite it being a fair few years since it's release). Very much a mind-fuck, it's hard to describe this film with any accuracy. Black humour, science fiction and emotion all collide here. Just take my word for it - you need to see this film. |

Jaws 1975, PG)
An absolute classic film, and in my opinion Spielberg's best, which is saying something when you consider he also made Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. It's not the shark that makes the film, it's the compelling dynamic between Brody, Hooper and Quint. Utterly thrilling stuff. |

Serenity 2005, PG-13)
The brilliant Firefly series gets the big-screen treatment it deserved. Fantastic humour, action and emotion, all mixed in with brilliant science fiction and visual effects. Joss Whedon is a genius, and his cast are amazing. |

Chasing Amy 1997, R)
Kevin Smith's best film - smart, honest, and hilarious. Full of heart and geekery. |
