Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni's first English-language production was also his only box office hit, widely considered one of the seminal films of the 1960s. Thomas (David Hemmings) is a nihilistic, wealthy fashion photographer in mod Swinging London. Filled with ennui, bored with his fab but oddly-lifeless existence of casual sex and drug use, Thomas comes alive when he wanders through a park, stops to take pictures of a couple embracing, and upon developing the images, believes that he has photographed a murder. Pursued by Jane (Vanessa Redgrave), the woman who is in the photos, Thomas pretends to give her the pictures, but in reality, he passes off a different roll of film to her. Thomas returns to the park and discovers that there is, indeed, a dead body lying in the shrubbery: the gray-haired man who was embracing Jane. Has she murdered him, or does Thomas' photo reveal a man with a gun hiding nearby? Antonioni's thriller is a puzzling, existential, adroitly-assembled masterpiece.~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Michael Caine's tough-as-nails gangster flick Get Carter has been named the greatest British film ever in a new poll. ShortList magazine named the 1971 story of murder and revenge as its number one ahead of 1979 cult classic Quadrophenia and another Michael Caine classic, The Italian Job. Also named in the top ten were 1987 luvvies-on-the-lash comedy Withnail & I, Bob Hoskins' own gangster flick The Long Good Friday and Daniel Craig's debut as 007, Casino Royale. Seventh place on the list... Read more
