John Huston's classic Oscar-winning tough comedy adventure is set in First World War Africa. Humphrey Bogart plays Charlie Allnut, the hard-drinking, woman-hating owner of The African Queen, a decrepit steamer that trades up and down the river. Katharine Hepburn plays Rose Sayer, the strait-laced spinster sister of missionary Rev. Samuel Sayer, whom Charlie has agreed to take back to civilisation. But when the Reverend dies after the mission is attacked by German troops, Charlie and Rose set off on a journey of escape that turns into one of revenge as the disparate couple reach a touching accord.

Capitalism: A Love Story (Film)
Michael Moore's timely film looks at the successes and failures of the American capitalist system, where the richest one per cent have more than the bottom 95% combined; a system that claims to reward free enterprise but in fact rewards greed. He coaxes an explanation of what derivatives are from experts and explains "dead peasant insurance", where companies can take out life insurance on their employees, claim if they die while still working and keep the money. There are also the Moore hallmark moments, using a loudhailer on Wall Street to ask for his money back and cordoning off the Stock Exchange as a crime scene. But beneath the grandstanding is a passionate exposure of the causes of the financial collapse.
Director: Michael Moore
Starring: Michael Moore, John McCain, Jimmy Carter, Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Man Who Wasn't There (Film)
Billy Bob Thornton plays Ed Crane, a barber in a sleepy 1940s town whose wife Doris is having an affair with her boss Big Dave. But when he's offered a get-rich-quick scheme, his plans to raise the money lead to blackmail, murder, Death Row for his wife, an expensive city lawyer Freddy Riedenschneider and then, by a savage irony, his own appointment with the electric chair for a crime he didn't commit. The Coen brothers' Oscar-nominated Hitchcockian tribute to the film noir genre is sparked with humour, darkness and outstanding performances.
Director: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, Michael Badalucco, James Gandolfini, Katherine Borowitz

He's also one of New York's finest, and when a nun is brutally raped, his desire to find the rapist is made larger by the $50,000 reward on offer. Abel Ferrara pulls out of Keitel one of his finest performances.
