Tom Hanks stars in this gangster drama set in the American Midwest
during the 1930s. Twelve-year-old Michael Sullivan Jr is curious
about what his father (Hanks) does for a living, and one night
decides to hide in his car as he goes off to work. It soon
transpires that the elder Sullivan is a hitman for the mob, and
when young Michael witnesses a killing carried out by the gangster
boss' son Connor (Daniel Craig), it starts off a chain of events
which will mark Michael's life forever. Co-starring Paul Newman and
Jude Law and directed by Sam Mendes.
Family adventure based on the novel by Roald Dahl. The film centres
around an eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp), and
Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a good-hearted boy from a poor
family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory.
Most nights in the Bucket home, dinner is a watered-down bowl of
cabbage soup, which young Charlie gladly shares with his mother
(Helena Bonham Carter) and father (Noah Taylor) and both pairs of
grandparents. They all live in a tiny, tumbledown, drafty old house
but it is filled with love. Every night, the last thing Charlie
sees from his window is the great factory, and he drifts off to
sleep dreaming about what might be inside. For nearly fifteen
years, no one has seen a single worker going in or coming out of
the factory, or caught a glimpse of Willy Wonka himself, yet,
mysteriously, great quantities of chocolate are still being made
and shipped to shops all over the world. One day Willy Wonka makes
a momentous announcement. He will open his famous factory and
reveal 'all of its secrets and magic' to five lucky children who
find golden tickets hidden inside five randomly selected Wonka
chocolate bars. When Charlie finds some money on the snowy street
and takes it to the nearest store for a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious
Fudgemallow Delight he finds a golden ticket. The family decides
that Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) should be the one to accompany
Charlie on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Once inside, Charlie
is dazzled by one amazing sight after another.
Two film versions of Roald Dahl's classic children's novel
collected together in one set. In 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory' (1971), directed by Mel Stuart, young Charlie Bucket
(Peter Ostrum) wins one of the coveted 'Golden Tickets' from a
Wonka Bar that allows its holder to take a trip around the
eccentric Willy Wonka's (Gene Wilder) Chocolate Factory. Charlie
and the rest of the winners find themselves in a magical world of
chocolate rivers, Oompa Loompas, everlasting gobstoppers, lickable
wall-paper, golden egg-laying geese and chilling tales to warn
children not to misbehave. Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay from his
own book. In Tim Burton's expansive remake, 'Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory' (2005), Freddie Highmore plays Charlie, whilst
Johnny Depp takes on the role of Wonka.

Colonel Terry Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) is a war hero whose
peacekeeping mission to Yemen goes horribly wrong when he orders
his men to open fire on a group of demonstrators. The colonel is
subsequently charged with murder and asks his comrade-in-arms Hays
Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones), a military lawyer of questionable
ability, to defend him at the court martial. But when Hodges starts
investigating he is surprised to find evidence that points to a
cover-up. William Friedkin ('The Exorcist', 'The French
Connection') directs.
Tim Burton's film version of the Stephen Sondheim musical starring
Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Based on a 'penny dreadful'
tale (which later became an urban myth) from the mid-19th Century,
this musical tells the tale of Benjamin Barker (Depp), a barber who
returns to London after spending years in exile for a crime he
didn't commit. He soon discovers from pie-maker Mrs Lovett (Bonham
Carter) that, in his absence, his wife has taken her own life and
his daughter is now in the care of the man who had him sent away -
the dastardly Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman). Seeking revenge and
filled with a murderous rage, Barker sets up a barber's shop above
Mrs Lovett's premises. Now calling himself Sweeney Todd, Barker
kills off all his customers with a razor to the throat and sends
their cadavers to the shop below to be used as a tasty new filling
for Mrs Lovett's meat pies. What was once the worst pie shop in
London quickly becomes one of the city's most popular eateries, but
Barker won't be satisfied until he can lure Judge Turpin into the
barber's chair...
Double-bill of fantasy adventures based on the novels by Lewis
Carroll. In 'Alice in Wonderland' (2010), Alice (Mia Wasikowska)
returns to the magical world of her childhood adventure to reunite
with her friends the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), the White Rabbit
(voice of Michael Sheen), Tweedledum and Tweedledee (both played by
Matt Lucas), the Dormouse (Barbara Windsor), the Caterpillar (Alan
Rickman) and the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry). Alice discovers her
true destiny as she joins forces with the colourful denizens of
Wonderland to overthrow the wicked Red Queen (Helena Bonham
Carter). In 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' (2016), Alice finds
herself in a mysterious, alternate world after going through a
mirror and emerging on the other side of the glass. While there she
discovers that the Mad Hatter is in danger and that Wonderland
could be turned into a wasteland by the evil Time (Sacha Baron
Cohen). As Alice tries to turn back time in order to save her
friend, she once again comes face-to-face with the Red Queen.

Collection of four Tim Burton films. The stop-motion animated
musical 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' (1993), produced and
visualised by Tim Burton, is set in a parallel world where
different lands represent different holiday periods. Skeleton Jack
(voice of Chris Sarandon) from Halloween Town becomes converted to
Christmas and sets out to spread joy in the world. However, when
Jack's mission leads him to kidnap Santa (voice of Edward Ivory) it
becomes clear that he is not really in tune with the Yuletide
spirit. In 'Alice in Wonderland' (2010), based on the characters
from the Lewis Carroll classics 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'
and 'Through the Looking Glass', the 19-year-old Alice (Mia
Wasikowska) returns to the magical world of her childhood adventure
to reunite with her friends the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), the White
Rabbit (Michael Sheen), Tweedledum and Tweedledee (both played by
Matt Lucas), the Dormouse (Barbara Windsor), the Caterpillar (Alan
Rickman) and the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry). Alice discovers her
true destiny as she joins forces with the colourful denizens of
Wonderland to overthrow the wicked Red Queen (Helena Bonham
Carter). 'Frankenweenie' (2012), Burton's black and white
stop-motion homage to Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein', is a remake of
his 1984 short of the same name. The story follows a young boy
called Victor (voice of Charlie Tahan), who harnesses the powers of
science to bring his beloved pet dog Sparky back to life - with
unexpected and alarming consequences. 'Ed Wood' (1994) is a biopic
of one of Hollywood's worst film directors. Setting up shop in
Tinseltown with plenty of enthusiasm but no discernible talent, Ed
Wood (Depp) is undeterred when his debut feature, cross-dressing
drama 'Glen Or Glenda' (in which he also stars) is a flop. He goes
on to make 'Bride of the Monster', also a commercial and creative
disaster, with ailing horror star Bela Lugosi (Martin Landau),
before embarking on his most grandiose scheme yet: 'Plan 9 from
Outer Space'...
