  • Saving Private Ryan

    Released in 1998, Saving Private Ryan is set in 1944, over a short period from the D-Day landing, starring Tom Hanks as the unlikely captain set a task that's hard to fathom.

    Does Ryan want to be saved? It's a question that raises a moral dilemma for the audience as much as the characters.

  • Road House

    Patrick Swayze at the height of his powers plays the role of the head bouncer, or cooler and is poached to clean up a whole new bar.

    His story, the romance, backstory, and the story of the new town consume his life and Road House is the result.

    One for the ladies? One for the Men? Perhaps a bit for everyone but not everything for anyone.

    Stephen walks Trevor through a movie that plenty might not have seen, so watch it for the first time with Trev, or again and again with Stephen.

  • First Blood

    Sylvester Stallone is John J Rambo - a Vietnam vet who comes to find a fellow soldier only to find he's the last man alive.

    He comes to a small town where just on appearance he's rejected and things go from bad to worse very quickly.

    The skills he has make for a confrontation beyond the expectation of those against him. But underneath it all is an important message.

    Trev's seen it - he can't work out when, but this is a proper watch taking in all aspects of the movie thanks to Stephen's knowledge. The Best Movies You've Never Seen is thanks to Fetch and Hisense
