Four Sided Triangle (Dir. Terence Fisher 1953): Murray stars as Dr. Bill Leggat who along with his childhood friends Lena and Robin creates a machine that can flawlessly replicate anything be it animate or inanimate.

However while away Bill's relationship with Helen does not go as planned causing Bill to resort to some shady experiments on Helen that will force her to love him. Produced by Hammer studios and directed by their most celebrated director Terence Fisher Four Sided Triangle was something of a precursor to many of their most famous films The Quatermass Xperiment (Dir. Val Guest 1955): A missile is launched by Professor Quatermass and his team but when it lands back in the English countryside two of the crew members have disappeared. The third who is barely alive undergoes a quite terrifying transformation which threatens Earth's very existence... Quatermass 2 (Dir. Val Guest 1957): Quatermass is intrigued by strange images on his radar. Thinking them to be meteorites he follows them to a village which on his arrival he finds has been completely destroyed... X The Unknown (Dir. Leslie Norman 1956): Penned by master horror screenwriter Jimmy Sangster and intelligently directed by Leslie (father of film critic Barry) Norman. The story sees a mysterious gelatinous monster which feeds off radioactivity terrorising a remote Scottish village.

John McTiernan (The Hunt for Red October) imaginatively directs this action comedy, which is an interesting failure with some fascinating ironies that make it well worth seeing. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays both a character named Jack Slater--a fictional cop hero who exists only in the movies (ie, the movies seen by the characters in this movie) and the actor who plays Jack Slater in the real world (ie, in the movie we're actually watching). McTiernan's hall-of-mirrors effect is fun, though Last Action Hero never quite identifies itself as a pure action movie, science fiction, a kid's movie, or anything else. (The expensive film suffered at the box office as a result and was roundly criticised for this ambivalence.) What lingers in the memory, however, is Schwarzenegger, playing himself, being confronted by Slater for having created an alter ego for film in the first place. It's a provocative moment: how often have we seen a major star blatantly wrestle with his actor's legacy in this way? --Tom Keogh

After building up the duo's popularity through recordings and several performances on Saturday Night Live, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd--as "legendary" Chicago blues brothers Jake and Elwood Blues--took their act to the big screen in this action-packed hit from 1980. As Jake and Elwood struggle to reunite their old band and save the Chicago orphanage where they were raised, they wreak enough good-natured havoc to attract the entire Cook County police force. The result is a big-budget stunt-fest on a scale rarely attempted before or since, including extended car chases that result in the wanton destruction of shopping malls and more police cars than you can count. Along the way there's plenty of music to punctuate the action, including performances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and James Brown that are guaranteed to knock you out. As played with deadpan wit by Belushi and Aykroyd, the Blues Brothers are "on a mission from God," and that gives them a kind of reckless glee that keeps the movie from losing its comedic appeal. Otherwise this might have been just a bloated marathon of mayhem that quickly wears out its welcome (which is how some critics described this film and its 1998 sequel). Keep an eye out for Steven Spielberg as the city clerk who stamps some crucial paperwork near the end of the film.-- Jeff Shannon
