Highlighted works

The Philadelphia Story

The wisecracking screen partnership between Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn reached its peak in this adaptation of Philip Barry’s high-society stage comedy.
The Wizard of Oz

Whisked by a tornado from Kansas to the colourful Land of Oz, Dorothy soon learns there’s no place like home in MGM’s immortal musical fantasy.
An American in Paris

A dazzling musical classic with Leslie Caron and Gene Kelly, hinging on a love triangle.
Singin' in the Rain

Hollywood’s troubled transition from silent to talking pictures at the end of the 1920s provided the inspiration for perhaps the greatest of movie musicals.
The Women

An astonishing cast are on top form in George Cukor’s wonderfully gossipy talkfest.
