Exploitation auteur Donovan Winter ('Some Like it Sexy') directs this x-rated down-at-heel tale of lonely souls looking for love at Christmas.

The first of writer/director Terrence Malick's three landmark films (1978's Days of Heaven and 1998's The Thin Red Line are the others) was inspired by a real-life 1958 Midwestern killing spree.

Malick imaginatively transforms their story into a provocative study of people alienated from everyday life - but fascinating to us. Beautifully shot and memorably acted, Badlands is a spellbinding journey.

Alfred Hitchcock directed this adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier novel - his last British film - before leaving for Hollywood and a contract with David O. Selznick.

Robin Williams shakes up 1965 Saigon as irreverent, non-conformist deejay Adrian Cronauer.

Imported by the army for an early am radio show, Cronauer blasts the formerly staid, sanitized airwaves with a constant barrage of rapid-fire humour and the hippest tunes from back home.

The G.I.'s love him - but the top brass is outraged.

Riddled with side-splitting comic bombshells and studded with hot '60's hits, the film depicts Cronauer's raucous Saigon adventures and a world gone mad.
