The Innocents (1961)Posesión satánica
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. - Director:
- Jack Clayton

Baadasssss! (2003)Badass
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. - Director:

Monty Python: And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)Monty Python's wunderbare Welt der Schwerkraft
England was such a proper place - until the day the Python arrived. Monty Python, that is, a Flying Circus that slithered up the funnybone of an entire nation and gave it fits of laughter. Here's Monty Python's first feature film - a hilarious collection of their very best twits, skits and bits from their popular TV series. There's "Hell's Grannies" and "The Dead Parrot" routine (he's just resting!) and valuable tips on how to defend yourself against an attacker armed with a piece of fruit. And who will ever forget "The Lumberjack Song" ("I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra")? And, of course, plenty of zany Monty Python animation. Absolutely the silliest stuff since the day Ernest Scribble wrote the world's funniest joke and died (croak!) laughing. - Director:
