This highly regarded film, winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2008 for best debut feature, tells the story of IRA member Bobby Sands and his hunger strike in the face of British imprisonment.

Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as their journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men from paratrooper training in Georgia through the end of the war. As an elite rifle company parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day morning, participants in the Battle of the Bulge, and witness to the horrors of war, the men of Easy knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear - and became the stuff of legend.

Hard-hitting drama from director Steve McQueen (Hunger). Brandon's (Michael Fassbender) carefully cultivated sex addiction is interrupted by the unannounced arrival of his sister (Carey Mulligan).

David Cronenberg (A History of Violence) directs this true drama about a love triangle between Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and a troubled patient. Stars Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender and Kiera Knightley.

Brendan Gleeson and Michael Fassbender are outlaw father and son in this British crime drama.
