Any movie based on a dance craze is a Cinema Fiasco shoo-in; and, in this instance, when it’s an 80’s dance craze and gets the Mickey-and-Judy-putting-on-a-show treatment, you’ve got an entertainment that’s irresistible. Kelly is a talented street dancer. She may be working as a waitress but she’s on a mission: to prove to the fuddy-duddies that what she and her street-dancing homies do is just as legitimate as classical ballet. All sorts of obstacles stand in her way (a horny dance teacher, a disillusioned colleague, lots of bad 80s clothes) but it all ends happily with an “amazing” dance spectacular that will have you jumping out of your seat – and running for the exit! Typically for a dance movie, there’s a cameo appearance by Jean-Claude Van Damme. Director: Joel Silberg Cast: Lucinda Dickey, Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quinones, Michael Chambers

Martians (armed with freeze guns and a robot made of cardboard boxes) kidnap Santa Claus and take him to Mars in an attempt to cheer up their miserable offspring. If you like your Christmas movies creepy (and who the hell doesn’t?) this is the best yuletide cinematic experience going – and I haven’t overlooked “Silent Night Deadly Night” or “Christmas Evil” in making such a statement. The movie looks like it was shot in someone’s bedroom and its many incidental pleasures include a cast that could have been recruited from a police line-up, a title song bellowed by a chorus of tone-deaf urchins and double-whammy Razzie Award winner Pia Zadora in her movie debut as a Martian poppet. The scene in which a couple of kids are attacked by a man in a polar bear suit is worth the price of admission alone. Perfect Christmas fare for the whole family – especially if the kids have been naughty. Director: Nicholas Webster Starring: John Call, Leonard Hicks, Vincent Beck, Bill McCutcheon, Victor Stiles, Donna Conforti, Chris Month, Pia Zadora

The doorway to death is the last great frontier in human life. Intellectually, we all know our lives will end, and yet - in the Western world at least - we act as if death is a mirage, disappearing the closer we move towards it. Two doctors in Australia are using psilocybin to help ease the anguish of their patients at the end of life, and the results they have seen are truly remarkable. But this visioning tool, like other plant medicines, is not new; it comes from ancient traditions. When the doctors journey to the Amazon to experience traditional medicines for themselves, they are confronted by realisations they have no explanation for. Is it possible the world's oldest cultures have something important to teach us, not just about traditional medicines, but about death itself?

The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell.
