This excellent supernatural thriller is set in a former orphanage where Laura has returned to raise her adopted son, Simon. Simon tells her he has five invisible friends but then disappears himself.

A rare opportunity to see David Lean’s masterpiece again on the big screen. Starring Peter O’Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins and Omar Sharif, this is cinema on an epic scale.

This fascinating film explores the relationship between a middle-aged academic and his younger wife (the director himself and his real-life wife Ebru Ceylan) who move through the seasons of their marriage. As the plot progresses, we see the scenery and locations change in parallel with their inner conflicts.

The toxic final act of a doomed relationship is played out in a kind of cinematic real time in this superb, if painful and opaque movie by the Turkish arthouse master Nuri Bilge Ceylan - a film made remarkable by the fact that the male and female leads are played by Ceylan himself and Ebru Ceylan, his wife.

A lonely professor returns to his New York apartment to find it occupied by a couple he has not met before. In the wake of 9/11, this brilliant, moving film challenges official attitudes to immigration and highlights the dangers of over-reaction.

Emotionally engaging drama from the director of The Station Agent, with a great script and a terrific performance from Richard Jenkins. One of the best films of the year.
