The Girl on a Motorcycle
(1968)A wildly sexy time capsule from the swinging sixties, stars Alain Delon ('Le samoura') and Marianne Faithfull ā two actors at the height of their impressive cool ā as lovers with a taste for the open road. Faithfull stars as Rebecca, a bored housewife who bolts from her home in the French countryside to visit her lover, Daniel (Delon), in Germany. Wearing nothing but a form-fitting black leather suit (the film was re-released in the U.S. as 'Naked Under Leather'), the lusty Rebecca races across the country, and in flashback remembers the start of their affair. She recalls the initial, furtive glances in her fatherās bookstore, her elaborate sexual fantasies and their long-awaited consummation. Most important of all is the motorcycle itself, a gift from Daniel that seems to give her more pleasure than any man could deliver. Directed by legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff ('The Red Shoes') in pulsating psychedelic hues, 'The Girl on a Motorcycle' has emerged from obscurity to become more than a cult favorite; it is a touchstone film of 1960s Euro youth culture.

The Rolling Stones - Truth and Lies
(2006)It seems hard to believe that the Rolling Stones have been around since the early sixties when you consider that as recently as 2008 they have been rocking audiencesā world wide on their latest concert tour. The two youngest of the band, front man Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, turned sixty-five this year, but show no signs of slowing down, even after a career that has spanned forty-five years. Rock of Ages charts the amazing story of what is arguably the greatest rock band in the world, chronicling their first ever gig at the Marquee Club on the 12th of July, 1962, the line-up changes, the famous ārivalryā between the Stones and the Beatles, the meteoric rise to fame (and notoriety) of the group due to their live shows as well as all the personal drama the band members themselves had to go through. From the earliest beginnings, when manager Andrew Olden was eager to present the Stones to the world as the antithesis of the family-friendly Beatles, trouble followed the band wherever it went, with numerous drug busts, in-fighting within the members of the group and the offstage antics with groupies leading to the newspaper headline: āWould you let your sister go with the Rolling Stones?ā Brian Jones, the founder of the group, was feeling displaced as the decision maker and left, the band replacing him with Mick Taylor. Sadly Jones was later found dead in his swimming pool in Sussex on 3rd July 1969. Since then, The Stones, as they are affectionately known by fans around the world, have gone from strength to strength, despite continuing drug busts, the tragedy that was the concert at Altamont Speedway, and the high profile love-life of Mick Jagger. In recent years, however, the Stones have concentrated on their live shows, still giving 100% despite their collective age. Jagger jokes that there arenāt so many pairs of womenās underpants thrown on stage these days; āmore Y-frontsā he laughs. But that hasnāt curbed their enthusiasm for touring, and while they enjoy playing live music, the Rolling Stones will keep on rolling, for years to come.
