Catch 22 (1970)
Star studded cast strips the convoluted and epic Joseph Heller tragi–comic novel down to its essentials and brings it to the screen in this superb production. A timeless masterpiece with deep emotional resonances. One of the best anti–war films.
Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man (2005)
Interspersed biographical details of this most elusive of artists and the all too short live recording of the man himself playing along with members of U2 in New York make this disc worthwhile. Oh, and the Sydney tribute concert isn't so bad either.
Run Lola Run (1998)
A bit like some of the new video games, except that the viewer has no control. Fate can turn on the smallest of things. Meticulously assembled and without a wasted moment. Takes repeated viewing to make all of the connections
Gran Torino (2008)- Eastwood's laconic, aging character out of place in a modern world changed and changing beyond recognition, and definitely not about to go gentle into that good night. O.K. movie, but has already been done many times.
Noise (2007)- Surprisingly good slow burning Australian cop thriller. Superb camera work. Lots of excellent character acting. A little slow in places; could have been tightened up a bit.
- DVD
$19.95$14.95 
Verdict, The (1982)- Astounding performance from Paul Newman playing the ambulance chasing lawyer seeing the light and making good. The final summing up to the jury burns in the memory. Lumet returns to his roots. A movie which deserves to be better known than it is.
Passenger, The (1975)- Memorable atmospheric and languid film which leaves plenty of room for the viewer and which lingers well after the final credits roll. Antonioni is at the top of his game, the scenery is beautiful and the actors all deliver.
Dr. Strangelove (or; How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) (1963)
- Timeless work of genius on the part of Peter Sellers. One of the best film scripts ever written. Lines from this movie have become a part of our language
- DVD
$24.95$18.70 
Network (1976)- 1970\'s classic which is more topical now than ever. Often imitated, never surpassed. One word to sum this film up. Superb.
Conversation, The (1974)- Understated minor masterpiece which still resonates today. Coppola keeps it simple and never looses focus.Totally absorbing screenplay, top quality acting. A work of real and enduring quality.
