Timothy West stars as British prime minister Winston Churchill in this BBC drama focusing on the relationship with his generals during pivotal moments of the Second World War. Set in Churchill's Cabinet Office and War Rooms, the programme follows Britain's leader orchestrating the allied war effort alongside some of his influential appointments including Generals Montgomery (Ian Richardson) and Brooke (Eric Porter). Following America's decision to enter the conflict late in 1941, Churchill and his cabinet received the support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Arthur Hill) and his trusted generals, Marshall (Joseph Cotten) and Eisenhower (Richard Dysart).
David Hemmings directs this supernatural horror based on the novel by James Herbert. A mid-air jet disaster leaves only one survivor, the pilot (Robert Powell), who is wracked with guilt and puzzled as to the cause of the crash. With the help of a young woman (Jenny Agutter) he sets out to avenge the deaths of the passengers - who will not release their grip on him until he does so.
Dr Phibes (Vincent Price), horribly disfigured from the car crash which killed his wife, decides to take revenge on the surgeons who failed to save her. He and his mute assistant (Virginia North) set about killing each surgeon using one of the biblical Seven Curses of the Pharoah.
Classic drama from Alfred Hitchcock. In 1831, Irishman Charles Adare (Michael Widling) travels to Australia to start a new life with the help of his cousin who has just been appointed governor. When he arrives he meets powerful landowner and ex-convict Sam Flusky (Joseph Cotten), who wants to do a business deal with him. Whilst attending a dinner party at Flusky's house, Charles meets Flusky's wife Henrietta (Ingird Bergman) who he had known as a child back in Ireland. Henrietta is an alcoholic and seems to be on the verge of madness.
Michael Cimino writes and directs this large-scale Western starring Kris Kristofferson and Christopher Walken. Set in the late 1800s in Johnson County, Wyoming, the film follows the conflict between American cattlemen and European immigrants. Harvard graduate James Averill (Kristofferson) is appointed marshal to keep the peace, but clashes with his friend, gunfighter Nate Champion (Walken), who is working for land baron Frank Canton (Sam Waterston). Champion, like Averill, is vying for the attentions of Ella Watson (Isabelle Huppert), the madam of the local brothel, which only adds to the rivalry between the two men. Soon the situation in Johnson County worsens and war breaks out with disastrous consequences. The cast also includes Joseph Cotton, Jeff Bridges, John Hurt and Mickey Rourke.
William Shatner stars as warring twin brothers in this action-packed western. Drifting cowboy Johnny Moon (Shatner) is forced to defend the town of Rio Honcho when his tribal Indian twin brother Notah (also Shatner) has the drug-induced revelation that he must lead the Comanche Nation in a war against the whites. With Rio Honcho, led by Sheriff Logan (Joseph Cotten), already at breaking point Johnny must first defeat his peyote-loving brother before he can save the rest of the townspeople who are demanding his help.
Classic late period film noir directed by virtuoso Orson Welles. A sweaty thriller set in a hellish border town, it stars Charlton Heston as Mike Vargas, the self-righteous Mexican cop who goes up against Welles' monumental Hank Quinlan, an old-time detective who fabricates evidence in order to mount a case based on gut-instinct. Famous for its incredibly choreographed seven-minute opening shot, Henry Mancini's powerful score, and the faded magnificence of the Quinlan character, it is often considered to be Welles' second masterpiece.
