Clockwork Orange
1971 - Writer-director Stanley Kubrick's controversial adaptation of Anthony Burgess' equally controversial novel is an antiseptic, nightmarish vision of a future whose moral ambiguousness is presented with shockingly graphic outbursts of violence punctuated with moments of intellectual ponderings.

Voted 81st best British film of all time in the BFI's top 100.

Get Carter
1971 - Adapted by writer-director Mike Hodges from Ted Lewis' novel "Jack's Return Home".

The Day of the Jackal

The Wicker Man

Tommy
1975 - Writer-director Ken Russell's big screen realisation of the Who's concept rock opera about a deaf, mute and blind child's ascension to rock celebrity is a brash, bright, loud and frenetic barrage of over the top visuals and ear drum busting music which captures perfectly the overblown excesses of the decade that spawned it.

Quadrophenia
1979 - Writers Dave Humphries, Martin Stellman and co-writer-director Franc Roddam construct an evocative recreation of the bitter, often violent, rivalries between the Mods and the Rocker factions on the beaches and streets of Brighton in 1964.
