The Untouchables (1987) Christopher Connor It is an impeccably acted film with some strong cinematography and a fine score from Ennio Morricone. It successfully updates its 50s source material and still feels timely over 30 years removed from its release

Barry Lyndon (1975) Christopher Connor Make no mistake, Barry Lyndon is one of Stanley Kubrick’s finest films, its status as a less celebrated offering perhaps coming as the result of its position of release being between the vastly more popular A Clockwork Orange and The Shining.

Shaun of the Dead (2004) Christopher Connor It’s clear to see why this opening Cornetto Trilogy film has come to be so beloved and influential amongst comedy filmmakers, the first cinematic collaboration between Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright being a superbly written and acted film

On the Rocks (2020) Christopher Connor On the Rocks proves to be a successful reunion between Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray, making excellent use of its wider cast and New York setting to offer a sweet and fun-filled 90 or so minutes of cinema.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) Christopher Connor It’s not hard to see why The Grand Budapest Hotel has gleaned such love over the past seven years. It is a perfect encapsulation of the best of Anderson’s works, with its fast-paced dialogue and candy coloured visual palette

Isle of Dogs (2018) Christopher Connor Isle of Dogs once again illustrated Wes Anderson’s versatility as a director and was a bold move away from the trappings of The Grand Budapest Hotel which had earned such acclaim.

No Sudden Move (2021) Christopher Connor No Sudden Move continues Soderbergh’s strong post-retirement phase and is a winning return to a genre that he has helped to make his own in the past three decades.

The French Dispatch (2021) Christopher Connor While perhaps The French Dispatch is not Anderson’s most free-flowing film, it is an amalgamation of everything Anderson has put to film to date, drawing on his love of cartoons, newspapers and French culture (in particular cinema).

Last Night in Soho (2021) Christopher Connor If Last Night In Soho is not Edgar Wright’s finest moment as a director, it is a fine advert for his obvious qualities as a filmmaker, with the slow build-up of action creating an undercurrent of tension and showing his appreciation for the horror genre.

Uncharted (2022) Christopher Connor What will be most frustrating for fans of the video game franchise and distributors Sony is that the film fails to deliver the same level of quality as its source material, though newcomers might find more to enjoy.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) Christopher Connor If lacking in the surprise factor of Knives Out, Glass Onion is a riotous time, dialling up the laughs and mystery with cameos and surprises galore, and layers of clever dialogue and writing.

Goodfellas (1990) Christopher Connor While there have been a fair few films focusing on the mob since 1990, few have achieved the same staying power, legacy and adoration as Goodfellas.
