Casablanca (1942) (70th anniversary re-release)
As 70 years has gone by, 'Casablanca' should still be played again and again thanks to its perfect script, casting and direction. A true, enduring Hollywood masterpiece.
The Descendants
Alexander Payne extends his perfect track record with another intelligent and heartfelt dramedy while commanding a career-best performance from George Clooney.
The Artist
Black and white silent masterpiece 'The Artist' isn't merely nostalgia; instead Michel Hazanavicius' film proves how universal film can be.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Fourth and best in the series, 'M:I4' owes plenty to Brad Bird's debut in live action directing. Great entertainment.
Latest DVD and Blu-ray reviews
In Treatment: Season Three
Blistering drama and a pinaccle of television acting and scripting, in its third season 'In Treatment' has lost none of its theatre-like power. Gabriel Byrne is extraordinary as conflicted psychoanalyst...
Jack Goes Boating
'Jack Goes Boating' is another grand achievement for Philip Seymour Hoffman in his assured debut as a director.
Her Private Hell
Bad acting and dated production values do little to make swinging 60s topless modelling exploitation drama 'Her Private Hell' relevant today.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
Flat, scareless haunted house thriller 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' fails to hit the mark.
Repo Men
A one of a kind social commentary blended sharply with offbeat humour, Alex Cox's 'Repo Man' demands another look.
Warrior
A great cast rises above the fight film cliches to unforgettable effect. A modern sports movie classic.
Restless
A minor, misguided Gus Van Sant work still makes a good movie via its fresh approach to melodrama but 'Restless' doesn't quite hit home.
The Insect Woman
A compellingly curious chronicle of a Japanese woman's struggle for survival, the Masters of Cinema have unearthed another Shohei Imamura classic via a lavish presentation.
Dolphin Tale
'Dolphin Tale' may be Hollywood's usual glossy and sentimental take on an "inspiring true story" but it boasts a great cast and some unexpected bravery in its narrative.
The Tin Drum
Dated but still powerful and controversial, Volker Schlondorff's frenzied 'The Tin Drum' is a welcome release on DualFormat.
Tyrannosaur
A harsh, gripping and brutally real relationship tragedy from debut filmmaker Paddy Considine, 'Tyrannosaur' soars.
Perfect Sense
A deeply human drama with sci-fi undertones, 'Perfect Sense' follows two lovers navigating through life as a virus robs people of their senses one by one.
Drive
A superior thriller propelled by an intense, existential, brooding style, 'Drive' recalls 70s/80s golden age of violent crime pictures.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
It's about time Gary Oldman went back to lead roles, and this gripping, complex and faithful adaptation of John Le Carre's seminal crime novel is the perfect vehicle.
Rolling Thunder
Gritty revenge thriller with a solid lead role from William Devane as a war vet who finds the real battle at home.
30 Minutes or Less
Silly, offensive and badly structured heist comedy '30 Minutes or Less' makes you wish the title reflects the running time.
Two-Lane Blacktop
A blunt journey through alienated Americana, Monte Hellman's 'Two-Lane Blacktop' is an existential masterpiece affording rare performances by James Taylor and Dennis Wilson.
Liverpool
A slow haul across wintery wilderness with few questions or answers, Lisandro Alonso's 'Liverpool' both enchances and frustrates.
Punishment Park
A blistering condemnation of the persecution of "guilty" radicals decades before Guantánamo Bay, 'Punishment Park' will stun you.
Le Silence De La Mer
Engrossing first film from French master director Jean Pierre Melville, 'Le Silence De La Mer' is well worth a watch.
