    La Dolce Vita (1960)

    " In spite of its thematic ugliness, this is a stunning-looking trawl through the Italian capital, with Ekberg's impromptu paddle in the Trevi fountain still the films enduring image."

    An American in Paris (1951)

    " t's a simple love story, but also a celebration of dance, music and art, embodied in the somewhat synthetic notion of Paris as the spiritual home of the arts, and the painterly aesthetic of the film as a whole."

    1900 (1977)

    " This is a handsome film with fierce and heartfelt ambition that succeeds in capturing something of the extreme social turmoil of pre-war Italy."

    The Magic Flute (2006)

    " Flashes of inspiration but not enough, one suspects, to cause a stampeding horde of cinemagoers to beat down the doors of the Royal Opera House."

    Johnny Guitar (1954)

    " Compelling, confounding and at times verging on the downright camp, this picture takes a slow- burning but startlingly vivid look at humanity in the outlands."

    Détective (1985)

    " Jean-Luc Godard's hotel-based film noir borders on farce: as conventional as he gets, but still inventive, subversive and darkly comic."

    " Electrifying sound and image collage of 24 hours in the life of a Parisian housewife by France's most difficult and defiant director, Jean-Luc Godard"
