In this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth, James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the centre of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernised to suit 1950s sensibilities and graced by a suitably outlandish Bernard Herrmann score. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Farce and fiasco in this screwball comedy set in the corporate world Mike Binder wrote, directed, and stars alongside Alan Rickman in this award-winning comedy set in corporate London An American businessman and his wife are summoned to London oversee an impending business merger. Unknown to him, Matthew Barnes is being groomed to replace John Gissing , his British counterpart. Gissing, in the meantime, has seen the storm brewing for some time and has no intention of giving up his position without a fight. Instead Gissing cunningly unleashes his inner Machiavelli and sends the American couple on a comical series of disastrous misadventures, in an attempt to turn their lives upside down and undermine his rival. From arriving late to key meetings, to a humiliating encounter with a French colleague, to finding himself in a compromising position with a lusty nun, life for Barnes becomes a living hell. Alan Rickman steals the show as the scheming Brit, and lookout for Juliet Stevenson, who also co-starred with Rickman in Truly, Madly, Deeply, as his hilariously exasperated colleague. Winner of the Best Picture Award at the 2002 Sarasota film Festival. This is a very funny film, sometimes uproariously so, but it's also low-key and measured Variety
