De Niro stars in this brutal and emotionally devastating examination of the life of boxing champion, Jake La Motta. The film charts his rise to the top, the collapse of his career and family relationships and his painful journey back to personal salvation. Scorsese focuses on the violence present in the male identity in this painful yet powerful film.
Raging Bull is arguably the finest work from the Scorsese and De Niro partnership. De Niro gives an amazing portrayal of a man whose animal side lurks just beneath the surface, ever ready to erupt. Vivid and unremitting in its uncompromising brutality and honesty, the fight sequences are famed for their realism. Violent throughout, this film is a testament to Scorsese's and De Niro skills, creating a thoroughly absorbing film about such an unlikable character. Renowned for throwing himself into the roles of the character, De Niro went on a diet to gain fifty pounds during the production for the role of the faded star.
Towering Colossus-like over the mass of 1980s and contemporary Hollywood product, this is a ferociously intense, unflinchingly honest and cinematically brilliant portrait of troubled middleweight champ Jake la Motta. De Niro's performance is simply awesome - making most others, and unfortunately his own later efforts, appear almost half-hearted.

This programme investigates three of the most powerful forces that our planet experiences: earthquakes, avalanches and volcanoes. Earthquakes have killed more than two million people in this century alone. A witness of the 1989 earthquake in Los Angeles describes the chaos that followed the devastating event. We learn about how seismography allows us to predict earthquakes and how modern technology can help us defend against them. Moving to Canada, we meet a victim of an avalanche, which swept down a mountain and swiftly buried her alive.
Since humans first walked the earth, mountains were seen as places of mystery, wonder and fear, where unseen spirits often spoke in thunderous fury without warning. The avalanche is still one of the most frightening and destructive forces in nature, with over one million avalanches rumbling down the world's mountains every year. In parts of Europe whole communities live under constant threat and band together for their very survival. For those lured to the mountain extremes, tragedy often strikes.

Threaded throughout this programme is exclusive coverage of NASA's mission to land on an asteroid. We also join scientists investigating how comets and asteroids may have been re-shaping evolution.
Raging Planet - Mysteries Of El Nino
El Nino is the mysterious phenomenon that has brought about the destruction of entire societies, including the Moche tribe of Peru. The complexity of its causes and effects has led meteorologists to regard El Nino as the biggest weather phenomenon on the planet. The 1982/83 El Nino was responsible for over 3000 deaths and $20 billion worth of damage. Consequently, the El Nino event of 1997/98 was the most monitored weather event in history.

Lightning bolts sear the planet, ripping through black clouds and blinding us with the power of 30 million light bulbs. Dust devils whip up a frenzy, wiping out vast stretches of the planet. Apocalyptic weather reigns on other planets in our solar system but until now has never been experienced by man.
Volcanoes around the world are heating up at an alarming rate and many scientists believe that this activity is more than a coincidence and that we are on the verge of a series of cataclysmic volcanic eruptions. Journey with us now as we take you into the heart of volcanoes in our quest to predict these looming disasters. In particular we focus on the city of Banos, in Ecuador, which lies in the shadows of the deadly volcano, Tungurahua, 'The Black Giant'.
Raging Planet - When Nature Rules
The Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, Hurricane Camille of 1969 and the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 were the worst natural disasters America can remember.

Ramallah Concert, The/ Knowledge Is The Beginning
The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra started as a Workshop in 1999 comprising talented young musicians between the ages of 14 and 25 from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia and Israel. The idea was that they would come together to make music on neutral ground, with the guidance of some of the world's best musicians. The Workshop has taken place annually since then, and now has a permanent home in Seville, Spain. In 2005 the Orchestra made a hugely-successful international tour that culminated in this extraordinary concert in the city of Ramallah. This was the first time the Orchestra gave a concert in one of its members' home countries. It was standing-room only in the 700-seat concert hall, and the atmosphere was electric. The programme included Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante in E flat major and Beethoven's Symphony No.5. The Ramallah Concert DVD features the entire concert, with an 18 minute prologue and a short epilogue showing events before and after the event. For example, the young Israeli members of the orchestra had to enter and leave the Palestinian Territory in bullet-proof cars and could not stay overnight. 'Knowledge Is The Beginning', by Paul Smazcny, is a powerful documentary about the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, filmed over 6 years, and includes footage of rehearsals and concerts in various countries, including the orchestra's first concert in an Arab country. This is a re-edited and much longer version of a documentary released earlier this year, including footage of Daniel Barenboim controversially receiving the Wolf Prize from the Israeli parliament.

Gittoes follows a premise set up by the soldier musician Elliott Lovett, in Soundtrack to War, Iraq ?we get shot at more in Miami than Baghdad?. Rampage takes us to a battered project near Miami airport, to meet the Lovett Family and the Brown Sub community, and explores the ways out ? war, music, or death. Elliot Lovett (23), the soldier Gittoes meets in a rap battle in Baghdad, links the two worlds of war, and takes us to Miami- where we meet street smart, Marcus Lovett (20), considered by Elliot to be the most talented rap artist of the family, and little brother, Denzell (14). When a 16 yr old hit man murders his talented older brother during the making of the film, Denzell is left with his lyrics and demo Cds, to carry the family?s desperate hope that their music will get them out of the ghetto. Opening a chance for Denzell, the film glides from the gutter of Brown Sub, Miami ? the tough street world that Denzell has rapped about in ?Rampage? - to the giddy heights of the New York offices where Denzell meets, head on, the tests of the music business.

A documentary film designed to inform the general public about the dangers of smoking marijuana.
Originally made in 1936 and financed by a small church group as a cautionary tale entitled 'Tell Your Children', this film was acquired by notorious exploitation producer and director Dwain Esper who added numerous salacious insert shots and changed the title to something a little racier in Reefer Madness. Esper's other claim to fame came with his method of distribution: he would breeze into town, hire a tent or a cinema for a couple of days and charge people to watch his film before moving on swiftly before the authorities could catch him. None of his films had a rating, which meant the content could be anything that Esper wanted it to be - his films caught the imagination of the paying public because they were supposed to be 'educational documentaries'. Reefer Madness acquired cult status in the 1970s among American college students, who ignored the supposed implications of smoking marijuana and turned the film into a comedy, laughing at all the wrong bits and marvelling at the wonderfully awful acting. It has retained that cult status ever since.

Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pull off a jewelry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediately clear that the plan backfired, forcing the survivors, who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse, to figure out if one of them is, in fact, a police informer. The crew Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), an aged veteran Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), a psychopathic parolee Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), a bickering weasel and Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn), Joe's son begin to unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.Tarantino takes liberally from Hong Kong action flicks, most notably Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE, but his ultra-hip '70s soundtrack and hysterical pop culture dialogue make the film seem wholly original and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave most notably Jean-Luc Godard RESERVOIR DOGS remains one of the decade's most influential motion pictures.

Roman Polanski - Cul-De-Sac/ Knife In The Water/ Repulsion
Three Roman Polanski films. Cul-de-Sac - The cloistered world of a couple living on a remote island is shattered when they are invaded by two gangsters on the run, who bring with them a bizarre nightmare of sexual perversion, chaos and corruption. Polanski's trademark themes of the surreal and the absurd were never shown to better effect. Knife In The Water - Roman Polanski creates an atmosphere of almost unbearable psychological tension as three people on a small sailing boat compete for mental and sexual superiority in a series of dangerous mind games. Polanski's only Polish-made feature won him an Oscar nomination and instant renown. The voice of Malanowicz is dubbed in Polish by Polanski. Repulsion - Director Roman Polanski 'arrived' on the English language film scene with this powerful and classic study of insanity and sexual repression. Catherine Deneuve stars as Carol, a young woman both attracted and repelled by men, whose fragile psyche disintegrates into murderous delirium during the course of a weekend shut up inside her flat. When purity is defiled by sick desire, the outcome is nothing less than shocking.
Roman Polanski - Pianist, The/ Macbeth/ The Ninth Gate/ Bitter Moon/ Tess
Five films. The Pianist - Winner of two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Actor as well as the coveted Palme d'Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, The Pianist is based on the true-life story of renowned Polish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman, who was forced to evade capture by the Nazis in his war-torn hometown of Warsaw.

As the months pass, the pianist sees more and more restrictions placed upon Polish Jews. But the family remain convinced that the British will come to their rescue. But it is not to be and his family is eventually rounded up to be shipped off to labour camps. Szpilman manages to escape and hides out in various apartments in the city for the duration of the war. Macbeth - Polanski's Macbeth caused an outrage on first release for its realistic and unrelenting violence, which many believed was the result of his wife Sharon Tate's brutal murder by the Manson family. Jon Finch and Francesca Annis are excellent as the murderous couple destroyed by guilt. The Ninth Gate - Roman Polanski's creepy mystery thriller which delves into the realms of the supernatural in search of the gates of Hell. Johnny Depp stars as Dean Corso, a shady New York book dealer who is hired to locate the last remaining copies of 'The Nine Gates To The Kingdom Of Shadows' a demonic manuscript written in collaboration with the Devil. Corso soon becomes obsessed with his task and finds himself embroiled in satanic rituals, theft and murder... Bitter Moon - A reserved English couple, Nigel and Fiona, take a luxury cruise to try to revitalise their failing marriage. During the trip they meet wheelchair-bound American writer, Oscar and his ravishing French wife, Mimi, whose tales of sensuous exploits both enthrall and disgust Nigel. Their bizarre friendship with Oscar and Mimi ends in a tragedy of enormous proportions in this erotic tale of passion and obsession. Tess - Roman Polanski's Academy Award (R) winning interpretation of Thomas Hardy's 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles'. Tess is the daughter of a poor drunken farmer who discovers that he is actually of noble descent. Tess is sent off to live with their proper and wealthy relatives. There, she is seduced by a suave but sinister cousin and bears him a bastard son who dies while still an infant. The backdrop is a morally rigid Victorian England where Tess must carry the shame of her past into her marriage to a minister's son - until she cleanses herself of all guilt in one ultimate act of passion. Nominated for 6 Academy Awards (R), including Best Picture, and won three for its Cinematography, Art Direction and Costume Design (1980).
Roman Polanski - Rosemary's Baby/ Chinatown/ Tenant
Three films. Rosemary's Baby - Justifiably regarded as amongst the best horror films ever made, this is a truly chilling account of a young mother who gives birth to the devil's baby after her husband makes a pact with Satanists in order to further his career. Gordon won an Oscar as the overbearing neighbour and Polanski draws out superb performances from the strong cast. Adapted from Ira Levin's bestseller. Chinatown - Private eye Jake Gittes finds that getting mixed up in the lives of L.A.'s rich and powerful is like jumping into a snakepit of scandal and violence, especially when a beautiful femme fatale is calling the shots. Tenant - Trelkovsky (Roman Polanski), suspects a conspiracy when he learns that the previous tenant who lived in the apartment he now rents, committed suicide. His landlord and neighbours appear to be subtly manipulating him into a similar position...
Roman Spring Of Mrs Stone, The
Set in the mid 1950s.

When her husband dies unexpectedly during a vacation to Italy, the widowed Mrs. Stone is desperate for companionship and affection. Through the auspices of a glamorous but somewhat seedy procurer named The Contessa (Anne Bancroft), Mrs. Stone is paired off with the studdish Paolo (Olivier Martinez), who is several years Karen's junior. What begins as merely a passionate physical attraction quickly deepens into true love, but Mrs. Stone may be far more enamored of the mercenary Paolo than he is of her.
Set in contemporary America, Romance & Cigarettes is a modern day musical, a dark and passionate comedy which tells the story of one man's journey into infidelity and redemption. It stars James Gandolfini as our hero Nick Murder and revolves around the repercussions of his adultery and doomed fascination with the flame haired seductress Tula (Kate Winslet). For Kitty (Susan Sarandon), Nick's long suffering wife, his treachery is the final straw. With faith in her husband shattered she surprises even herself with the ferocity of her anger as she struggles to cope with his betrayal. It is only through a tragic twist of fate that Nick finally understands the extent of the pain he has inflicted on his family. With time running out he discovers the essential value of Kitty's love and respect. Employing an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic songs, and featuring such diverse artists as James Brown, Nick Cave and Bruce Springsteen, the film is a unique tale of sex and mortality.
A writer finds herself living the plot of one of her romance novels, when the kidnapping of her sister lands her in the jungles of South America with only a treasure map, a chauvinistic mercenary and pursuing thugs for company.
Romancing The Stone/ Jewel Of The Nile
Two films.

She is asked by a Mid-East prince to help him regain his kingdom by writing his story for the world press.However the assignment turns into a frantic chase to locate a fabulous jewel which alone can restore the rightful ruler to his throne. More madcap action and a great Billy Ocean theme song - 'When the Going Gets Tough'.
Six films. About A Boy - Based on the novel by Nick Hornby this comedy/drama stars Hugh Grant as Will. Marcus believed that he could cope with anything. He didn't mind having the wrong clothes, the wrong hair and complete lack of cool. What he couldn't cope with was his mother crying before breakfast. Then along comes Will, 36 and very cool and not that enamoured with children. It looks as though Marcus and Will have a lot to learn about each other... Notting Hill - Julia Roberts stars as Anna Scott, the world's most famous movie star. Her picture is everywhere and she has no privacy. William Thacker, the owner of a travel bookstore, has problems of his own. His business is stagnant, he has the room-mate from hell and his love-life is completely non-existent. When Anna and William's paths cross, romance is the last thing on either of their minds - at first... Love Actually - A film about love in all its varied forms and the relationships that exist between real people, whether they be parents, children, friends or lovers. A whole host of popular British actors are brought together, with a number of storylines, all leading up to Christmas. As the characters and plot lines develop, the stories begin to overlap and interrelate (sometimes with amusing consequences). No matter how painful the experience may become, the message seems to be, that all people need to feel love of some kind to fulfil the natural human need for companionship. Bill Nighy received the BAFTA 2003 award for Actor In a Supporting Role. Bridget Jones's Diary - Bridget Jones is the thirtysomething looking for love, failing that, lust and a thin body without dieting. Bridget decides it is time to take control of her life and starts a diary. With opinions on everything from exercise, food, sex, men, and everything in between, she finds herself caught between two very different men, one who is so wrong he could be right and one so good he can't be true. Bridget stumbles hilariously from one dilemma to another as she tries to resolve her problems. Bridget Jones's Diary - Edge Of Reason - After four whole weeks of being in a proper relationship, Bridget begins to have some serious doubts. A bad attack of jealousy, a nightmare experience in a Thai prison and Daniel Cleaver all contribute to the worsening state of affairs. Surely Mark isn't really a Conservative voter?? Pride And Prejudice (2005) - The glorious world of Jane Austen is at last brought back to the big screen in all its romance, wit, and emotional force in Pride & Prejudice.

Galicia, 1850. A terror stalks the land. More and more people disappear daily. The locals tell of a legend...the dreadful 'Werewolf of Allariz'. Then the bodies start to appear, covered in savage gashes or, to the trained eye, precise surgical cuts...In the same blood rich vein as Brotherhood of the Wolf and similarly based on actual events, Romasanta tells the story of travelling vendor Manuel (Julian Sands) who moves in with the lovely Josephine and her sister Barbara in a small cottage on the edge of a wolf plagued forest. When Josephine disappears on a routine trip to town, Barbara suspects Manuel is the legendary werewolf and leads a group of incensed local villagers to capture him. But when the local magistrate calls in renowned anthropologist Professor Phillips, a blood-curdling tale of true and very human evil begins to unfold, far worse than any simple story of lycanthropy. Fantasy horror in the style of The Company of Wolves combines with a chilling account of a real serial killer who murdered 13 people and used their body fat to make soap! This original and memorably atmospheric chiller will keep you guessing to the howling-good end.
