George C. Scott plays the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge in this version of the Dickens Christmas classic. Scrooge is a misanthrope unimpressed by the fuss everyone makes during the festive season. That is, until his sleep is disturbed one Christmas Eve by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, each of which takes him on a journey which helps him to open his heart to his fellow man and to thereby learn the joy of Christmas. Filmed entirely on location in the historic town of Shrewsbury.

Paul W.S. Anderson directs this thriller starring Jude Law and Sadie Frost. In a dystopian London docklands a gang of youths vie with each other for status within the violent, criminal subculture that exists around ram-raiding and joyriding. Law plays Billy, the King of Joyriders, recently released from prison who takes up with his old girlfriend, Jo (Frost), and is soon up to his old mischief. However, there is a new kid on the block in the shape of Tommy (Sean Pertwee), who sees ram-raiding as a business rather than a lark. Meanwhile the police are hovering around waiting for Billy to step out of line.
