Twenty treasures from Ireland's finest punk band

Brazilian pauper turns hitman hero

Warren Beatty and Julie Christie in arty, autumnal 1971 tale of the Old West

Made by Jack Hazan and David Mingay, this film follows Ray Gange as he packs in his job to roadie for The Clash. The sight of Strummer, Jones and co acting out scenes from their daily lives is strangely endearing, and as a record of pre-Thatcher Britain, it's fascinating.

Peter Mullan proves himself a director of real bite in this harsh, affecting study of how '60s Ireland's strict adherence to Catholic doctrines ruined the sanity of many a young woman. If deemed to be in "moral danger", girls were incarcerated, with nuns serving as jailers. Geraldine McEwan makes a chilling wicked witch, and a sparky cast ensures it's an engrossing, unpreachy story.

One-time Tin Tin on mature and thoughtful form

Brand new outing from legendary underground songwriter, producer, talent diviner and LA scenester

Decent second album by Warp's apprentice Aphex

From the all-star fable casting Ole Bob as Jack Fate—"a fallen rock legend well past his prime." They said that, not me. This includes several exotic covers of his songs, from an Italian folk version of "If You See Her, Say Hello" to a Japanese "My Back Pages". "One More Cup Of Coffee" is tackled, amusingly to some of us, by Turkey's recent Eurovision winner, Sertab Erener.
