The Independent Recommends: The Five Best Films
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Strangers on a Train (PG)
Robert Walker and Farley Granger swap murders for an accelerating fairground- ride thriller. Perhaps the most quintessentially Hichcockian of all his outings.
Another Day in Paradise (18)
More white-trash junkie madness (right) from low-life chronicler Larry (kids) Clark. Hint: that misleading title comes lathered in irony.
The Third Man (PG)
Carol Reed's perfect Viennese waltz; dancing arm-in-arm with Orson Welles to the busy sounds of Anton Karas's zither.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (12)
Catchphrases, moonbases, groovy babies and crooked dentures. Welcome to the plastic-fantastic landscape of Mike Myers' irrepressible super-spy creation.
Place Vendome (15)
Nicole Garcia's upmarket Parisian thriller provides a velvet-lined showcase for the cut-glass skills of an on-form Catherine Deneuve.
