A Bridge Too Far-Wed 39th Aug.

One of the epic war movies of the seventies. A blockbuster about the allied asault on the Japanese Empire in the latter stages of W.W.II. Noted for its scrupulous realism and attention to detail, the film contains a cast that comes near to a roll of honour in moder cinema as you can get.

Slaughterhouse Five—Thurs 30th Aug

Combine the adventurous mood of late 60's films and the chilling bazzareness of Kurt Vonnegut and you're bound to get a good movie. Vonnegut's irony and cynicism transfers well into movies as this film testifies. Based on Vonnegut's personal experiences in war, Slaughterhouse Five shows the Dresden holocaust from an innocent point of view.
