Controversy reigns and James opens his big box of stats and the two gentlemen philosophers take a look back at the films of the past year, and the whole series.

We now have enough data to release our 'Five Films To See Before You Die', and 'Five Films To Die Before You See Them'. Exciting stuff.  

It's 2002 and Stephen Frears directs this British social thriller with a cast of future stars: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Audrey Tautou, Sergi López, Sophie Okonedo and Benedict Wong.

Our last film of the year, and it's one that may steal your heart (and possibly kidney too).

We complete our review of David Fincher's career with his fourth (and hopefully not final) decade: the biopic of screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, co-author of Citizen Kane.

Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried and Charles Dance head up the cast of this homage to 1930s' filmmaking.

It's 1992 and Billy Bob Thornton writes and co-stars this neo-noir crime thriller, along with Bill Paxton, Cynda Williams and Michael Beach.

Despite critical acclaim, this one appears to have fallen out of the collective memory, and James doesn't know why. Huw has a pretty good idea.

It's 1993 and action director extraordinaire Renny Harlin takes Sylvester Stallone up the Dolomites.

With some outstanding practical effects and a John Lithgow villain at his sneering best, this was 90s action at its peak.

For our autumn instalment, get ready to poke, like, and update your relationship status like it's 2004!

We look at David Fincher's third decade of filmmaking - the point where he'd become synonymous with excellent films making a lot of money - and teamed up with writer Aaron Sorkin to tell the story of Facebook in a digital age Citizen Kane.

Two mismatched and desperate men struggle against the inevitability of their own doom... but enough about our hosts, let's watch Figures in a Landscape!

It's 1970 and relative newcomers Robert Shaw and Malcolm McDowell star in a chase thriller that has since disappeared over the horizon.

It's 1988 and George Lucas has turned his world-building talents to the fantasy genre, crafting an epic tale of sorcery and heroism, starring Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley and Jean Marsh.

It's a deep nostalgia dive for our two gentlemen philosophers as they debate 'Is Willow better than doing the ironing?'.

It's 1982 and maverick director Samuel Fuller creates one of his final movies, the experimental and controversial White Dog.

Buried at its original release, and restored by The Criterion Collection, our two gentlemen philosophers approach this unloved mutt with trepidation and a bag full of hamburgers.

For our summer instalment, we look at David Fincher's second decade of filmmaking, specifically the thriller Panic Room!

Starring Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker, Kristen Stewart and Jared Leto, this one's an absolute gem.
