Model Shop (1969): Dir. Jacques Demy
Feat. Anouk Aimee, Gary Lockwood, Alexandra Hay; A mesmerizing, shamefully neglected stateside film from French New Wave director Jacques Demy that follows an aimless, unemployed architect who ends up falling in love with a French model. A slow-burn drama that deftly captures the zeitgeist of late 60's L.A.
Destry Rides Again (1939): Dir. George Marshall
Feat. James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, Una Merkel; James Stewart is once again a mild-mannered law-man while Marlene Dietrich makes her most sensational Hollywood turn as exotic saloon girl 'Frenchy'. Fabulous fun is capped off by the infamous Dietrich-Una Merkel catfight.
Seconds (1966): Dir. John Frankenheimer
Feat. Rock Hudson; Boldly experimental thriller from the director of THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, in which a bored businessman opts for a new, 'more fulfilling' identity (complete with plastic surgery - he ends up as Rock Hudson) through the help of a mysterious organisation.

Room at the Top (1958): Dir. Jack Clayton
Feat. Laurence Harvey, Simone Signoret; Matters sexual are treated with rare maturity in this stunning, landmark British drama about an ambitious, working-class cad who falls in love with a married older woman, but may sacrifice his true love in order to marry into a rich family.
Stooge, The (1951): Dir. Norman Taurog
Feat. Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Polly Bergen; Comedy set in the world of 1930's vaudeville, where an egotistical but struggling Broadway performer (Dean Martin) finds success when he hires a brilliantly funny "stooge" (Jerry Lewis).
Artists and Models (1955): Dir. Frank Tashlin
Feat. Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Shirley Maclaine…; Bubbly, brain-addled comedy with comic-artist Dean Martin getting his ideas from roommate Jerry Lewis’ wild nocturnal mutterings. Rated in some quarters as the popular double-act's finest hour.
