In this explosive story of revenge and urban violence, Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a bleeding-heart liberal who has a change of opinion after his wife and daughter are violently attacked by a gang of thugs in their apartment. His daughter is sexually assaulted and his wife is murdered.

Bronson then turns vigilante as he stalks the mean streets of New York on the prowl for muggers, hoodlums and the like. 'Death Wish' is a violent, controversial film that is frank and original in its treatment of urban crime and the average citizen's helplessness in dealing with it. Herbie Hancock wrote the musical score. And watch for a young Jeff Goldblum in his film debut as one of the thugs.

Deborah Kerr (in the performance of her career) plays the emotionally repressed vicar's daughter who takes up a job as a governess to two seemingly angelic orphans.

Gradually coming to believe that the children are possessed by the perverse spirits of their former governess and her sadistic lover, she begins to see manifestations of the ghosts prowling the huge gothic mansion of Bly House. Director Jack Clayton sustains a superbly haunting atmosphere throughout the film, and like James' original work, cleverly retains the ambiguity of wether the ghosts are real or the products of the governess's fevered imagination. Aided by Freddie Francis's exquisitely inventive and atmospheric CinemaScope photography, we, like the governess, are never quite sure what unspoken horrors are lurking beyond the edge of the frame and are kept guessing until the film's tragic conclusion.

As one of Hollywood's few Afro-American directors, Melvin Van Peebles was on the brink of clinching a three-picture deal with a major studio, but realising they would never back the Black Power film he was itching to make and Black America needed to see, Melvin broke out on his own.

The result was Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, the story of an 'ordinary black street hustler' fighting back against the system and winning. Employing non-union crew and recruiting from the pornography industry in order to save money, Van Peebles' struggle to release the film is brought back to life in this powerful docudrama, directed by and starring his son Mario Van Peebles. Controversial at the time due to its sexual explicitness, graphic violence and for depicting the truth about state-sponsored racism, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song became the highest grossing independent film of 1971. Baadasssss!, Mario's affectionate depiction of his father's epic journey through artistic innovation, financial ruin and Hollywood blacklisting, includes engaging performances from a strong ensemble cast (Joy Bryant, Terry Crews, and veteran director Ossie Davis) and proves an inspiring lesson in both moviemaking and the power of self-belief.
