Classic downbeat British crime thriller, directed by Neil Jordan.

George (Bob Hoskins) is a low-grade mob enforcer, recently released from prison after a stretch covering up for his boss, Mortwell (Michael Caine). Taking on a job as chauffeur to prickly call girl Simone (Cathy Tyson), George gradually begins to fall in love with her as he helps her look for her best friend Cathy (Kate Hardie).

But when he eventually finds her, the naive George is dismayed to find that Cathy and Simone are lovers. Even worse, George has unwittingly become involved in a dangerous game that Simone and Cathy are playing against his old underworld boss, Mortwell.

Part Two of a five-part educational acting series. The programme follows some of the best-known actors in Hollywood as they test their Shakespearean mettle, joining with their British counterparts at a master class in New York City conducted by the Royal Shakespeare Company. The three-day master class is conducted by the RSC's Voice Director Cicely Berry and Head of Voice Andrew Wade. Among the actors taking part are Samuel L. Jackson, Emily Watson, Robert Sean Leonard, Helen Hunt, Blythe Danner, Toby Stephens, Kate Burton, Victor Garber and Clare Danes.

Wes Craven directs this cult horror. Bill Pullman plays a young anthropologist who is sent to Haiti by an American pharmaceutical company to find the drug used by voodoo priests to revive the dead. Although initially sceptical, he becomes tangled in the web of an alien culture involving blood rites, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, zombie brides and torture.
