Schmaltzy romantic thriller which became one of the biggest films of the 1990s. Look out for an embarrassing performance from Gary Kemp, and get ready to warble along with hit song I Will Always Love You - actually a cover version of an old Dolly Parton ballad.

Another fabulous comedy from brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, this adventure is loosely based on Homer's Odyssey and boasts an excellent cast, including George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman, Holly Hunter and Michael Badalucco.

CAPTION(S):

Mel Brooks sends up the Sherwood Forest legend spoof, which came just two years after Kevin Costner had given the legend a more serious reappraisal. Cary Elwes and Tracey Ullman star, but the comedy never reaches the lofty and hilarious heights of Brooks' earlier films.
