This 1972 classic is a disaster film and you know it from the get-go. The cast alone is staggering. Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Albertson, Shelly Winters and Red Buttons - all Oscar winners. We find out what's going to happen at the start but the ups and downs of the story and the character building is what makes this movie. It was a special one for Stephen - Trev's never seen it. We watch it thanks to Hisense and Fetch.

One of Stephen's best stories

Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Lori Petty and Gary Busey star in this movie that includes surfing, but isn't about surfing. Or is it? A fresh blooded FBI agent moves to the city with more armed robberies than anywhere else and jumps straight into character trying to track them down. Trev watches with fresh eyes and works it out early, while Stephen unpacks what you might not know. And really, if this isn't a Surfing Movie, how is Die Hard a Christmas Movie?
