If you think the Beatles wrote the book on long and winding roads, they’ve got nothing on the fourth Mad Max movie and its journey to the big screen. This in-depth oral history (subtitled The Wild And True Story Of Mad Max: Fury Road) charts director George Miller’s two-decade quest to resurrect his post-apocalyptic franchise, and the behind-the-scenes story is almost as awe-inspiring as the film itself.

The main conclusion of Blood, Sweat & Chrome is that, under any normal circumstances, a movie as ambitious and downright crazy as Fury Road should have stalled long before it arrived in cinemas. Miller started working on his magnum

opus in the distant days of the 20th century, and saw an early incarnation – starring original Max Mel Gibson – scuppered by 9/11. Salvation eventually came in the unlikely form of some dancing penguins, after the success of Happy Feet made Miller a hot property at Warner Bros.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga

The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
