Matt Reeves' smart monster thriller has been favourably compared to The Blair Witch Project , with which it shares the concept of using "found" camcorder footage to reveal its horrors. The film opens at a party for Manhattan yuppie Rob Hawkins (Michael Stahl-David) where the revelries are interrupted by a loud explosion. As he and his friends Hud, Jason, Marlena and Lily (TJ Miller, Mike Vogel, Lizzy Caplan and Jessica Lucas) emerge onto the street, the head of the Statue of Liberty cartwheels past them. Something very big, scaly and angry is trashing the city.

Milos Forman's Oscer-winning film (showing in the director's cut), based on Peter Shaffer's play (who also picked up a statuette for his adapted screenplay) tells the story of the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Oscar-nominated Tom Hulce) through the eyes of his bitter rival Antonio Salieri (Oscar-winning F Murray Abraham). The film opens with Salieri in a madhouse, confessing to Mozart's murder. However, as his story unfolds, it becomes apparent that his jealousy of Mozart's genius and his fear at the young composer's threat to his role as court composer are tempered by an admiration for Mozart's genius - a genius Salieri knows he will never achieve.

Before he wrote and directed Hostel , Eli Roth's first exuberant take on the horror genre quite happily acknowledged its sources, from The Evil Dead to Night of the Living Dead , but did so with such energy that all is forgiven. Five teenagers (Rider Strong, Jordan Ladd, Joey Kern, Cerina Vincent and James DeBello) head off for a little post-exam R&R at a cabin in the woods. Their peace (and various attempted seductions) are interrupted by a hermit (Arie Verveen) who staggers out of the forest covered in sores. He's obviously sick but the scared teens violently turn him away. Dying, he falls into a stream that provides their drinking water. As they fall prey to the virus, a grisly fight for survival begins...

Richard Donner's cult film still has the power to shock, working on the premise that the Devil has returned as the seemingly angelic son, Damien (Harvey Stephens) of American diplomat Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) and his wife Katherine (Lee Remick). As Damien quietly disposes of his enemies, including priest Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton) and is tutored by the malign Mrs Baylock (Billie Whitelaw), so the horror rises.
