The planet hurtles towards nuclear obliteration because the major powers are either warmongering or in the hands of lunatics (Peter Cook plays the quite insane British Prime Minister). A kidnap attempt on one of the Royal family pushes fingers closer to the red buttons, and the inept, over zealous SAS rescue attempt only helps the cause of the oncoming apocalypse.
Produced by the award winning director Spike Lee, C.S.A. is a wickedly clever 'mockumentary' that attempts to show what life in America may have been like if the South had won the civil war. The film is peppered with fake adverts, together with some that are rooted in reality and manages to be satirically humorous as well as genuinely thought provoking. With it's close-to-the-bone political satire, C.S.A. will appeal to fans of comedians such as Chris Morris and Mark Thomas. This is a fascinating piece of film-making that challenges our attitudes about race with real effectiveness.
Stanley Kubrick's classic black comedy about a group of war-eager military men who plan a nuclear apocalypse is both funny and frightening - and seems as relevant today as ever. Through a series of military and political accidents, two psychotic generals - U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper and Joint Chief of Staff "Buck" Turgidson - trigger an ingenious, irrevocable scheme to attack Russia's strategic targets with nuclear bombs. The brains behind the scheme belong to Dr. Strangelove, a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientist who has bizarre ideas about a mans's future. The President is helpless to stop the bombers, as is Captain Mandrake. Dr Strangelove is truly a brilliant film classic. In black and white.

Vox Lux begins in 1999 when teenage Celeste survives a violent tragedy. After singing at a memorial service, Celeste transforms into a burgeoning pop star with the help of her songwriter sister as well as her talent manager. Celeste’s meteoric rise to fame dovetails with a personal and national loss of innocence, consequently elevating the young powerhouse to a new kind of celebrity: American icon, secular deity, global superstar. By 2017, adult Celeste is mounting a comeback after a scandalous incident almost derailed her career. Touring in support of her sixth album, a compendium of sci-fi anthems entitled, “Vox Lux,” the indomitable, foul-mouthed pop savior must overcome her personal and familial struggles to navigate motherhood, madness and monolithic fame.
