| Some Like It Hot Billy Wilder - USA | 1959 | 120mins This screwball comedy, consistently named the funniest film of all time in polls is the perfect drive-in movie. Load up on puns and bring your friends, to witness or revisit a great ensemble performance by Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Two struggling musicians witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and try to find a way out of the city before they are found and killed by the mob. The only job that will pay their way is an all girl band so the two dress up as women. In addition to hiding, each has his own problems; One falls for another band member but can't tell her his gender, and the other has a rich suitor who will not take "N" for an answer. |

| Raging Bull Martin Scorsese - USA | 1980 | 129mins Twenty-five years on and the question is 'is it still the best boxing film ever made?' "No it's probably the best sports film ever made". Arguably the best movie Scorsese didn't win an Oscar for and a perfect performance by Robert de Niro, who manages to play both an athletic man at his prime and peak as well as a man when he is in the gutter, still convinced he's amongst the stars. Based on the life and career of boxer Jake LaMotta, Raging Bull focuses on Jake's rage and violence which make him virtually unstoppable in the ring. The same anger also drives Jake to beat his wife and his brother Joey, and sends Jake down a self-destructive spiral of paranoia and rage. |
