Now Showing - The Six Movies

James King presents a bite sized synopsis of the Movie Weekend's films plus cool links from around the web. If you haven't seen these classics before then get yourself from out under your rock!

Anchorman

Anchorman

By the beard of Zeus, it's only the funniest film ever made! Will Ferrell and his Frat Pack chums deliver deadpan laughs like no others. That Vernon Kay has taste.

Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead

Horror, comedy and Bill Nighy all in one film? Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright really spoiled us with this masterclass in wearing your influences on your (very bloody) sleeve.

Star Wars

Star Wars

The movie that changed the face of cinema, full stop. In this first outing, George Lucas perfectly blended epic mood with a charmingly simple tale. The result? The sci-fi movie against which all others are judged.

Pretty Woman

Pretty Woman

A 90s feelgood fairytale and perhaps the best chick flick of all time. Sing the songs, quote the dialogue and laugh at Julia Roberts' ridiculously bad outfits.

Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters

One of the first 'family' films to adopt oddball adult humour (courtesy of the legendary Bill Murray), Ghostbusters was an 80s phenomenom that still demands a second sequel. We live in hope...

Goldfinger

Goldfinger

Still the ultimate Bond movie, giving us a peek into another era dripping in 60s cool. Pierce was suave, Daniel tough... but Connery remains the top dog.
