Richard Lester's A Hard Day's Night takes us on a magical mystery tour through a hectic, imaginary day in the life of The Beatles. Escaping from hoardes of female fans, The Fab Four jump on a London train en route to a live television appearance, but Paul's grandad (the film's comic trump card Wilfred Brambell) causes a rift when he tells Ringo he's unappreciated by the other members of the band! Made in 1964 at the height of Beatlemania, A Hard Day's Night would be worth seeing for the music numbers alone, but thanks to screenwriter Alun Owens and the visual inventiveness of American ex-pat director Lester, it rises far above other similar movies. Lester's approach throws in a dizzying combo of New Wave-style verite, jump cutting, varying camera angles and a frantic pace with nods towards silent comedies. A Hard Day's Night remains an energising experience today and is impossible not to enjoy.

Double Academy Award winner Michael Caine has rarely looked cooler as the well dressed heavy attempting to uncover the facts behind the death of his brother, in this hard-boiled thriller. The film tracks Caine as he becomes embroiled in the sinister underworld of crime and pornography. John Osborne (Look Back in Anger) stars as the flesh peddlers' ringleader, whilst sultry Bond girl Britt Ekland sizzles as Caine's London girl. Get Carter's powerful combination of violence and corruption, with its dark portrayal of England, especially Newcastle, signalled the end of the sugar-coated 60's, ushering in a more cynical style of film making.

Keep your eye on Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra), he's the quiet guy in the middle of it all. He's the guy with the big idea, he's calling a summit meeting of his own, and it's going to be a summit to top them all. Now all he needs are 11 men, let's say 11 ex-paratroopers from his old outfit. And you'd be amazed where you can find an ex-paratrooper these days. You look in the bar and there's Sam Harmon (Dean Martin) playing alcoholic piano or you turn up demolition expert Josh Howard (Sammy Davis Jr.), in a fleet of trash trucks, and Jimmy Foster (Peter Lawford) is sure to be wherever there's the most of anything. A guy like Burgdorf's (Richard Conte) been playing some very long odds and Mushy's (Joey Bishop) sticking close to the money. But when Danny called, they came and what they heard was a plan of independent initiative and individual enterprise to stir the spirit of every citizen. Ocean's Eleven is the quintessential Rat Pack movie.

In one night, Danny's handpicked 11-man crew of specialists - including ace card sharp (Brad Pitt), a master pickpocket (Matt Damon) and a demolition genius (Don Cheadle) - will attempt to steal over $150 million from three Las Vegas casinos owned by Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), the elegant, ruthless entrepreneur who just happens to be dating Danny's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts).

Their cover is perfect… until a lovelorn singer (Marilyn Monroe) falls for “Josephine”, an ancient playboy (Joe E. Brown) falls for “Daphne”, and a mob boss (George Raft) refuses to fall for their hoax! Nominated for seven Academy Awards, Some Like It Hot is the quintessential madcap farce.

But before the night is out, the witness lies dying and the cool, no-nonsense Bullitt won't rest until the shooters - and the kingpin pulling their strings - are nailed. From the opening shot to the closing shot, Bullitt crackles with authenticity: on-location San Francisco filming, crisp dialogue and to-the-letter police, hospital and morgue procedures. An Academy Award winner for Best Film Editing, this razor-edged thriller features one of cinema history's most memorable car chases. Buckle-up... and brace yourself for unbeatable action.

He goes by the name of Jason Bourne, but he doesn't know who he really is, or why he is so good at killing with cold-blooded proficiency. What he does know is this: he's a walking, running target. Richard Chamberlain (as Bourne) and Jaclyn Smith headline a breathless heart-stopper based on the best-selling espionage thriller by acclaimed writer Robert Ludlum. Bourne is an amnesia victim determined to uncover his forgotten past. Why does his face show signs of plastic surgery? Who stitched microfilm beneath the flesh of his hip? Why did two passers-by flee after recognising him? The answers are puzzle pieces scattered from Zurich to Paris to New York - and the keys to the true identities behind The Bourne Identity.

Discovered floating in the Meditteranean with a couple of bullets in his back by a passing fishing boat, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) has no idea who he is or why the details of a Swiss bank account would have been surgically inserted under his skin. The mystery deepens when he travels to Geneva and discovers his security box is packed with D.I.Y. James Bond accessories and a mountain of money. Paying $20,000 for a no questions lift to Paris with a rootless European (Franka Potente), Bourne slowly begins to piece together his background. Now all he has to do is stay alive... The Bourne Identity is a fine adaptation of Robert Ludlum's novel and an enjoyable, old fashioned secret agent thriller.
