April on Modern Greats finds Kubrick at his scariest, Monty Python at their lairiest, and Spielberg at his most dramatic with Empire Of The Sun and The Color Purple (11 Oscar nominations and no wins - how did that happen?!). There are also moments of typical brilliance from Robert Altman, Spike Lee and Terrence Malick, and we celebrate Francis Ford Coppola's 70th birthday with a double bill you can't refuse.
