Description:
FULL METAL JACKET
A superb ensemble cast falls in for action in Stanley Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanising process that turns people into trained killers. Joker (Matthew Modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Gomer (Vincent D'Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood), Cowboy (Arliss Howard) and more - all are plunged into a boot-camp hell pitbulled by a leatherlung D.I. (Lee Ermey) who views the would-be devil dogs as grunts, maggots or something less. The action is savage, the story unsparing, the dialogue spiked with scathing humour. Full Metal Jacket, from its rigours of basic training to its nightmare of combat in Hue City, scores a cinematic direct hit.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

Alex has his own way of having a good time. He has it at the tragic expense of others. He doesn't just like ultra-violence, he enjoys drugs and Beethoven's 9th. He and his gang rampage through a dystopian future hunting for terrible thrills. But when Alex finds himself at the mercy of the State and subject to the controversial treatment of Dr. Brodsky, the government psychologist, he finds that fun is no longer the order of the day. Hugely controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Its power is such that it still entices, shocks and holds us in its grasp.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
2001: A Space Odyssey is a countdown to tomorrow, a road map to human destiny, a quest for the infinite. It is a dazzling, Academy Award-winning visual achievement, a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. It may be the masterwork of director Stanley Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke).and it will likely excite, inspire and enthral for generations.
