Film: The five best revivals
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.

The Fountainhead (PG Curzon Sohon, NFT)
Gary Cooper plays a visionary architect who refuses to buckle to mob pressure in King Vidor's astonishing adaptation of the Ayn Rand novel. Patricia Neal smoulders opposite him.

Falstaff (Chimes at Midnight) (Cine Lumiere, Wed 7.3Opm )
Orson Welles's great but little-seen movie from 966 conflates five of Shakespeare's plays and features one of his largest - in all senses - performances.
3
The Philadelphia Story (Curzon Soho, NFT)
As civilised and graceful as any romantic comedy ever made, it also brought together one of the most loveable of Hollywood trios: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart - all on peak form.
4
A Bout de Souffle (NFT, Thurs 8.3Opm)
Godard's swoony romantic debut from 959 - a poetic version of the American gangster movie, starring Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo, whose Bogart impersonation is unmissable.
5
Easy Rider (NFT, Friday 8.3Opm)
The road movie that put a bomb under Hollywood. It's showing its age a little more nowadays, but Jack Nicholson's turn as the bibulous lawyer will remain a joy for ever.
