Our beautiful friends at the Prince Charles Cinema are hosting an Arnie all-nighter this weekend – but we’ve seen Terminator 2 more times than than we care to recall, and it’s time for a change. Here are five Arnold Schwarzenegger films that might not be as good as Conan the Barbarian (which really is cracking), but are certainly different.
All Hallows’ Eve approaches, and as usual we’ve been scouring the web for the very best of this year’s spooky film events. From screenings in a church to journeys into the history of horror, read on for our top five film-based Hallowe’en nights out.

Sometimes, it’s not enough to be a talented filmmaker. You don’t want to be making adventure films with a name like Spector Whussypants, and in that logic (however flimsy it is), you wouldn’t make a horror film with a non-scary name.

The Horror Show, a Video On Demand service that launched last week, invited Best For Film down for a launch event at the exceedingly agreeable surroundings of the Prince Charles Cinema in London. Offering a comprehensive service tailored towards us weirdos who enjoy seeing socialites being sewn together arse-to-face, The Horror Show decided to celebrate its birth with a screening of the short horror film Him Indoors, followed by the 1987 Donald Cammell serial killer film White Of The Eye, which was selected and introduced by the author and film critic Kim Newman.

Today’s Top Ten is brought to you by the jerry-built Best For Film bookcase, which this morning decided to collapse. At the top of the pile of undignifiedly dislodged books was a hefty volume of Roald Dahl short stories, and flicking through the pages we dusted off our Matilda bunches and decided that it was a sign.

In our newest feature, we’re arbitrarily looking back over the entire history of Hollywood one year and one genre at a time.Want to talk about your favourite five sci-fi films of 1992, or the top horrors of 2004? Get in touch at [email protected] now!
