One of the greatest sporting rivalries of all time certainly deserves the finest attention, the doting and sometimes critical eye of one of Hollywood’s premium directors and a script that captures the imagination and complexity of two of the motor-racing world’s most enduring figures. Ron Howard’s Rush delivers everything you could ever want in a film that looks at the relationship of man and machine…or in this case two men who dominated the sport in 1976, Britain’s James Hunt and Austria’s Niki Luada, the ultimate sporting playboy who revelled in the excess of life and the cool reserved detachment of a man born to be a winner.

There is nothing like a good apocalyptic film to send people in their droves worrying about the next big thing that will decimate humanity to the point of extinction. Rising sea levels and the air stream suddenly going into meltdown, asteroids that will leave big holes in the round and Morgan Freeman as the last decent man on the planet, a rampaging monster destroying half of Japan (take your pick) or perhaps the daddy of them, nuclear Armageddon in which Sheffield gets destroyed in perhaps the finest example, Threads.
