The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

104 mins     Comedy, Drama, Musical

The Matrix (1999)

136 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

What if the world as we see it doesn't really exist, instead what we see, what we are is just a stream of 1s & 0s in a binary world. That is the seed of thought which "The Matrix" sows as it takes us on an action fuelled jour...

Strange Planet (1999)

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

124 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi
