Humans mutate into bizarre creatures thanks to nuclear radiation in this post-apocalyptic black comedy from director Richard Lester ("A Hard Day's Night") and British comic Spike Milligan. In the aftermath of WWIII, the conflagration's survivors persevere, a task that becomes more difficult as they are transformed into parrots or furniture, suffer oddly long gestation periods, and ride escalators to nowhere. Absurdist perfection starring Rita Tushingham, Ralph Richardson, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Michael Hordern, Roy Kinnear and Marty Feldman.

In the early '80s, England's musical center shifted from London to Manchester. Here, following punk's loss of manic energy, homegrown bands like Joy Division and The Happy Mondays ruled. In this dramatic flashback to a brief moment in pop history, Michael Winterbottom tells the story through the eyes of Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan), rock impresario and club owner, as he partakes in Manchester's sudden and improbable rise to rock glory, and the city's sad decline into drugs and despair. "Shines with a kind of inspired madness" - Roger Ebert.
