Annie Hall
Date	Location
Two decades before Sex And The City had its first orgasm, Annie Hall was laying bare the mores of modern, urban romance to devastating effect while also zoning in on the specific psyche of Allen Konigsberg: anti-Semitic paranoia, metaphysical angst, the search for true love. There's a highly charged on-screen electricity between Allen and Keaton, glorious vistas of the old New York and hilarious set pieces – Alvy fighting with lobsters, the scene of his childhood home below the rollercoaster… View full details

Bananas
Date	Location
The lad's second feature centres on a neurotic, wimpy, Jewish New Yorker (guess who plays this part?) who gets caught up in a South American revolution. The plot is a somewhat flimsy vehicle for Woody's wonderful one-liners, but there's a degree of cynical commentary on political power struggles. View full details

The Big Lebowski
Date	Location
The Coen brothers give their unique twist to a Chandler-esque LA noir, as 70s hippy throwback Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski (Bridges) is drawn into the sordid affairs of his millionaire namesake.

The Devil Wears Prada
Date	Location
Nice, twee wannabee journalist Andy (Hathaway) finds herself employed as one of two personal secretaries to the formidable Miranda Priestly (Streep), an Anna Wintour style fashion editor. With killer one lines, really well rounded characterisation and excellent performances, it's difficult not to fall for its myriad charms. Though formulaic, in terms of decent mainstream US films this year, this enjoyably innocuous, bitchy romp, may be as good as it gets. View full details
13 Aug 7.45pm	Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie

Forrest Gump
Date	Location
Even those with the lowest IQs can rise to the top in the land of the free, as this picaresque tale sets out to prove. But despite its incurably sweet hero and its fairly standard love story core, 'Forrest Gump' has a surprisingly dark-tinted view on recent American history - complete with racism, drug and child abuse, war and political assassination. There are some bitter tasting choices hidden among the soft centres. View full details
26 Jun 6.45pm	Sloans, Glasgow

9 Jun 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Date	Location
Anderson's fourth film is part high seas adventure, part film industry satire, part existential meditation on the meaning of relationships. It is consistently clever and hilarious, shifting from the light-hearted to the surreal, to scenes of real depth with the kind of ease we've come to expect from the Texan director. Bill Murray heads an eccentric, often brilliant cast, as ageing oceanographer and filmmaker Steve Zissou. No one likes his films any more and his life is falling apart around… View full details

Monty Python Quest
Date	Location
When the Python team set out to film their mud-caked epic Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they discovered at the last minute that the National Trust for Scotland had refused permission for them to film in the many National Trust castles they'd scoped out. The result was that Doune Castle had to stand in for almost all of them. It was from these battlements that a French knight called Arthur's door-opening request a 'silly thing'; it was in these halls that Lancelot had to stop Galahad from… View full details and ticket info

Superbad
Date	Location
Cracking autobiographical teen fantasy (written by 'Knocked Up' star Seth Rogen) that harks back to the glory days of 'Risky Business' and 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. It's outrageously rude and crude, yet somehow remains both sophisticated and compassionate in its consideration of what makes teenagers tick. View full details
