I'll believe in you all my life, every day. E.T... I love you.

This film makes your heart glad. It is filled with innocence, hope, and good cheer. It is also wickedly funny and exciting. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is a movie like The Wizard of Oz that you can grow up with and grow old with, and it won't let you down. It tells a story about friendship and love. It's about a relationship between a little boy and a creature from outer space that becomes his best friend. It works as science fiction, it's sometimes as scary as a monster movie, and at the end, when the lights go up, there's not a dry eye in the house.

A visionary, innovator and originator who defied categorization and embodied the word cool: a foray into the life and career of musical and cultural icon Miles Davis.

Delving into his past loves, personal relationships and addictions, a clearer portrait of Davis the man emerges. Davis is fearless and engaging throughout, and his intellectual fervor is only tempered by his insecurities. Director Stanley Nelson’s epic biopic collects the strands of a creative life and weaves them together for us to understand one of the great modern American artists like never before.

Director – Mark Jenkin

Starring – Edward Rowe, Mary Woodvine, Giles King

This remarkable British film is a clash of the old worlds and the new. Cornish fisherman Martin Ward (Edward Rowe) must deal with his brother Steven (Giles King), who uses their boat for tourist cruises, and the well-off Londoners who have bought his childhood home. The cultural clash is represented in the look of the film, shot with an old Bolex camera in black-and-white 16mm and hand-processed by Jenkin, which produces a realistic tone and a real sense of depth and history. Beautifully shot, Bait balances modern concerns with nostalgia.

In a deserted Macedonian village, 50-something year old Hatidze tends to her bee colonies, handmade hives and her bedridden mother, occasionally heading to the capital to market her wares. One day, an itinerant family installs itself next door, and Hatidze’s peaceful kingdom gives way to roaring engines, shrieking children, and 150 cows. While she is gracious and welcomes the camaraderie, the itinerant family’s patriarch soon makes a series of decisions that could destroy Hatidze’s way of life forever. The most awarded film at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Honeyland is a beautiful, funny tragic and humanist verité documentary to savour.

Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town.
It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in 'The Wizard Of Oz', but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians, and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through.
Even her dreams of romance seem undimmed as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. And yet Judy is fragile. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted; haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood; and gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids. Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love and the sheer pizzazz of "the world's greatest entertainer".

"Leave comedy to the bears, Ebenezer"

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens Christmas tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets -- Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle -- weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases -- past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.
