Reading like a ‘Who’s Who’ of Hollywood’s finest filmmakers, this is a spectacular celebration of the movies that changed the world, from legends like Hitchcock, Coppola, Kubrick and Scorcese, to modern maestros including The Coen Brothers, Michael Mann and Steven Soderbergh.

A Streetcar Named Desire, Touch Of Evil, The Godfather and The Searchers are just some of the classic picks. Wall Street, Silence Of The Lambs and Do The Right Thing are highlights from the 80s and 90s, while Gladiator, No Country For Old Men and The Dark Knight bring things bang up to date.

For true fans of the cinema and the names that made it great, this is the season of dreams.
