As a new hip-hop musical take on the French classic opens in Paris, the film's director Mathieu Kassovitz talks about the problems that inspired his work and its continuing relevance

To mark the 50th anniversary of the erotic French film that made soft porn mainstream cinema, it's had a 21st Century reboot – but will it match the success of the original?

In 1999, this unlikely rom-com set at a conversion therapy camp and starring Natasha Lyonne was hated by critics. But it's since been recognised as both groundbreaking and hilarious.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a bare-knuckle boxer who is "goofy, relaxed and remarkably free of facial damage" in the "scrappy and overcomplicated" Road House reboot.

Reports of the director’s long-awaited return to the screen, for a film based on his novel Liarmouth, ran rampant on Wednesday. Is there any truth to the speculation?

Released during a period when New York was "the poster child for disrepair and abandonment", gang drama The Warriors came to appear more realistic than intended.

Released in 1961, the cult British sci-fi film The Day the Earth Caught Fire offers a stark warning that resonates with a heating planet today, writes Gregory Wakeman.
