His crime: nonconformity. His sentence: the chain gang. Paul Newman plays one of his best-loved roles as Cool Hand Luke, the loner who won't - or can't - conform to the arbitrary rules of his captivity.

It recalls other hallmark Newman performances: Luke is The Hustler without a dream of victory, Harper without a moral mission, Hud without a father to defy. A cast of fine character actors, including George Kennedy in his Academy Award-winning role of Dragline, gives Newman solid support as fellow prisoners. And Strother Martin is the Captain who taunts Luke with the famous line, "What we've got here is...failure to communicate." No failure here. With rich humour and vibrant storytelling power, 'Cool Hand Luke' succeeds resoundingly.

Democracy and order soon begin to crumble when a breakaway faction forms and quickly regresses to brutal savagery with horrifying consequences. Peter Brook's classic adaptation of William Golding's novel has lost none of the impact it made when given an 'X' certificate on its 1963 release. Shot with a raw style the film has a chilling air of realism and still retains the power to shock.

One of the most popular screen Western ever made, this Academy Award-winning classic blends adventur, romance and comedy to tell the true story of the West's most likeable outlaws.

No-one is quicker then Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) when it comes to get rich quick schemes, and his sidekick Sundance (Robert Redford) is a wizard with a gun. When these two bungling bank and train robbers tire of running from the law, they set out for Bolivia with Sundance's girlfriend (Katherine Ross). Though they can barely speak enough Spanish to communicate: "This is a stick-up!", that's only a minor detail to the two nicest "bad-guys" who ever rode the West.

From visionary director Robert Eggers comes 'The Northman', an action-filled epic that follows a young Viking prince on his quest to avenge his father's murder.

Brad Washburn was the greatest aerial mountain photographer of all time.

More than eighty years after he first photographed Denali, Alaska from the air, climbing buddies Renan Ozturk and Freddie Wilkinson look at some of Washburn's images and have a crazy idea: rather than go up, their dream is to go sideways - across the range's most forbidding peaks, the Moose's Tooth massif. While the climbing action unfolds, Washburn's own incredible story comes to life through stunning archivals and recreations. Filmed over a period of five years, 'The Sanctity of Space' brings together visual elements of the highest order - from Washburn and Ansel Adams's stunning large format black and white photographs to state-of-the-art helicopter cinematography to space photography - with an unforgettable story spanning generations. It's both a white-knuckle adventure tale, and a celebration of the spirit of exploration.
