Retrospective Reviews
Dead Ringers (1988) Review - David Cronenberg's 1988 psychological horror 'Dead Ringers', starring Jeremy Irons in a dual lead role, is one of the director's richest and most layered films. Review by Sam Sewell-Peterson.
Moonlight (2016) Review - Best Picture winner 'Moonlight' (2016) is an experience we all must have, a film as truthful as the skin on your palm. Barry Jenkins directs a rich ensemble. Review by Bella Madge.
The Sound of Music (1965) Review - Acclaimed movie musical 'The Sound of Music' (1965), Robert Wise's Oscars Best Picture winner starring Julie Andrews, is a memorable gem that never loses its staying power. Review by Alannah Purslow.
Rebecca (1940) Review - Alfred Hitchcock's only film to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards, 'Rebecca' (1940) is not exactly perfect but it's certainly damn close. Review by Kieran Judge.
The Wizard of Oz (1939) Review - 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939) remains an impressive filmmaking achievement almost a century on from its release. Victor Fleming directs Judy Garland in timeless technicolour. Review by Clotilde Chinnici.
In the Heat of the Night (1967) Review - Trailblazing Oscars Best Picture winner 'In the Heat of the Night' (1967) starring Sidney Poitier feels tame by today's standards, but still shines a spotlight on inequality. Review by Martha Lane.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) Review - 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' (1975), from director Miloš Forman and starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher, won the Big Five Oscars. It is immortal. Review by Kieran Judge.
Titanic (1997) Review - James Cameron's blockbuster romance 'Titanic' (1997) was a cultural phenomenon and impossible to ignore, and remains a testament to what movies can do: make us feel. Review by Margaret Roarty.
Raging Bull (1980) Review - The imagery, style, and performances work in concert to great effect in Martin Scorsese's 'Raging Bull' (1980), assuredly one of the director's best films. Review by Jacob Davis.
‘Blazing Saddles’ at 50 – Review - It's still OK to laugh at Mel Brooks' Western spoof comedy 'Blazing Saddles' starring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder, even 50 years on from its release. Review by Sam Sewell-Peterson.
