In a new semi-regular feature each week Phil takes a lookout a different movie related Top Five… this time out: Films that are so bad they are actually quite good.

Phil’s Quick Capsule Review: One of Alan Rickman’s last films, Eye In The Sky is a fitting tribute to one of the best actors of this generation.
