What do the most ravishingly beautiful actress of the 1930's and 40's and the inventor whose concepts were the basis of cell phone and bluetooth technology have in common? They are both Hedy Lamarr, the glamour icon whose ravishing visage was the inspiration for 'Snow White' and 'Catwoman' and a

In August, 1969, half a million people from all walks of life and every corner of the country converged on a small dairy farm in upstate New York.

They came to hear the concert of their lives, but most experienced something far more profound: a moment that would change them and the country forever and define a cultural revolution. Through the voices of those who were there, 'Woodstock' tells the story of the political and social upheaval leading up to those three historic days, and the extraordinary events of the concert itself, when near disaster put the ideals of the counterculture to the test.

Two brothers - Eli and Charlie Sisters - are hired to kill a prospector who has stolen from their boss. A reimagining of the cinematic Western as a dangerous, witty, and emotionally cathartic exploration of what it means to be a man.

On October 12th, 1978, Nancy Spungen was found stabbed to death in a bathroom at the Chelsea Hotel, New York. Her lover Sid Vicious, bassist for punk rock legends The Sex Pistols, was immediately arrested for her murder, and died of a drugs overdose whilst awaiting trial.

Alex Cox's seminal film takes us on a darkly humorous, visually stunning journey that begins with Sid and Nancy's initial meeting during the rise of British Punk during the late seventies and follows their decline into nightmarish, drug induced squalor in New York City. Visceral, unflinching and ultimately tragic, this is the dark side of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Love kills.
