Seeking to experience the real Australia, backpackers Rutger and Katarina venture from the main tourist trail to visit the awe-inspiring Wolf Creek crater. Unfortunately for them, it's also the hunting ground of psychopathic pig-shooter Mick Taylor: the last man any outback traveller wants to meet.

After a chilling attack in the dead of night, the crazed bushman pursues his prey in an epic, white knuckled rampage across hostile wasteland.

Adapted from the worldwide best-selling novel, "QB VII" tells the compelling story of the gripping court battle between a Polish-born doctor and the American author who accuses him of having performed atrocious experiments on concentration camp prisoners during World War II.

Oh brother! Peter Sellers as John Smallwood, an idealistic Reverend appointed to the parish of an upper-class village by mistake. With a bad habit of telling the truth at all times, Smallwood makes several clerical decisions that shock his wealthy, landed-gentry parishioners.

When he convinces the selfish owner of a laxative firm (Isabel Jeans) to "see the light" and sell off all her holdings on behalf of the poor and downtrodden, by doing so the woman wrecks her business - which is the principal source of income for the community where Smallwood works. Retreating from town with an angry mob on his heels, Smallwood relocates to a tiny island in the Pacific. Since the island is the site of a missile base, and since the local astronauts have shown signs of agnosticism, where else is there Sellers to go....but up? Inspired by an idea by British satirist Malcolm Muggeridge, the Boulting brothers' Heavens Above! was considered a bit too sacrilegious for general consumption on its 1963 release. Way ahead of its time, the film, featuring Sellers at his most iconoclastic, has since accrued a loyal and vocal following. A superb supporting cast includes Eric Sykes, Irene Handle, William Hartnel and Joan Hickson.
