Outlander tells the story of an epic time-traveling romance between Jamie and Claire Fraser. During the first six seasons of the Starz adaptation, fans have witnessed the World War II nurse and Scottish Highlander fall in love, get married, and create a family — despite being pulled apart for a grueling 20 years. Through it all, Jamie and Claire have proved many times that they are absolute #CoupleGoals. Here are 10 of our favorites.
Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe | Starz 10. Jamie Fraser asks ‘Does it ever stop?’ in ‘Outlander’ Season 1
The Frasers usually keep their intimate moments private. But in Season 1, Episode 8 “Both Sides Now,” the duo briefly enjoyed some sexy time outside in the Scottish highlands before being interrupted by British soldiers.
What really makes this scene #CoupleGoals is when Jamie asks Claire: “Does it ever stop, the wanting you?”

The droughtlander is almost over as Book 3 of “Outlander” is coming back in September. As we pause in rematching the official trailer for the nth time, we have more to obsess over now that the cast and crew hit Comic-Con to tease Season 3.
Taking to the Ballroom 20 stage in San Diego’s Convention Center were stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Tobias Menzies, Sophie Skelton, and Richard Rankin, alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis and author Diana Gabaldon. While having the cast together looking good in contemporary clothes is always a good time, fans were also keen to see or hear anything more about Season 3.
As a special surprise, Jenna Dewan Tatum was the moderator for the panel. “I’m the hugest, biggest ‘Outlander’ fan,” she declared. During the lively panel, Tatum challenged the actors to a “Truth or Dance” game, and the audience had the honor of seeing Balfe and...

Claire, we leave you alone for 11 months and this happens?!
Outlander‘s Season 2 premiere finds our Lady Broch Tuarach stumbling back into her present with a leaden heart and a whopper of a secret that nearly destroys her husband. No, not that husband. The other one, ol’ Sad Fedora Frank.
Claire’s return to the 1940s takes up most of the episode and nearly all of my emotional reserve; by the time both of the Randalls have processed the facts that Claire 1) has returned and 2) is pregnant*, I’m ready for a wee dram and a good lie-down, and Frank...

The director of Scum, Made in Britain and The Firm made films that were brilliant, disconcerting and radical – and set the template for others to follow
I’ve been thinking about Alan Clarke recently. That’s not unusual: he’s a director I love, and his glorious, bristling films mean a lot to me. So it was his name that I first came up with when I started work on six short videos about the mavericks of British film. Maverick is a tricky word to parse, but if it meant anything at all, then Clarke – off on his own path, sparring with authority – has to be the benchmark.
Although we start in 1964 with Peter Watkins’s Culloden, four of the subjects are still alive and making films. All the same, it was hard not to feel a pang while we worked, and Clarke was why. Part of that was simply...

Punishment Park
When this film was released in 1971, the events that inspired it (such as the Kent State shootings and the Vietnam war) were still fresh in the audience's minds.
When it arrived on DVD a few years back, it was the incarcerations at Guantánamo Bay that drew obvious comparisons. It's only fitting that this latest release, on Blu-ray (and DVD again) arrives soon after rioting and general unrest in Egypt, London, America and, sadly, plenty of other locations. Highly influential director Peter Watkins again uses the documentary style he developed with earlier classics The War Game and Culloden to great effect. A collection of student, arty types and suspicious-looking longhairs are paraded in front of a community tribunal (more a kangaroo court) for various crimes against society (some no more than daring to question the status quo). They are told they can have their long prison sentences commuted to...

Punishment Park (Masters of Cinema) is to be released in the UK in a new Dual Format Blu-ray + DVD edition on 23 January 2012. We have three copies of the Blu-ray to give away.
Both controversial and relentless in its depiction of suppression and brutality, Punishment Park was heavily attacked by the mainstream press and permitted only the barest of releases in 1971. However, like Haskell Wexler’s Medium Cool (1969) and Robert Kramer’s Ice (1969), Peter Watkins’ film has established itself as one of the key, yet rarely seen, radical films of the late 1960s/early 1970s. Giving voice to the disaffected youth of America that had lived through the campus riots at Berkeley, the trial of the Chicago Seven and who were witnessing the escalation of the Vietnam War, Punishment Park was named by Rolling Stone as one of their top ten films of 1971 and has earned many admirers in the four decades since its release.

Braveheart and Pearl Harbor writer-director Randall Wallace just can't resist distorting a true story for his own rightwing ends, reckons John Patterson
Give a true story to rightwing writer-director Randall Wallace and it will return worked into a state of transcendent ahistoricality, festooned with distortions, lies, strategic omissions, anachronistic insertions and cheesy climacterics.
As evidence I cite his screenplay for Braveheart, inspired by Wallace's Quiet Man-style visit to the land of his ancestors. By the time Braveheart was picking up Oscars for best picture and director, the good burghers of Stirling had to suffer a Wallace statue in the likeness of the movie's director-star, noted Jew-baiter and homophobe Mel Gibson, while the real William Wallace had been lost to history. (You want a proper Scottish historical epic? Try Peter Watkins's Culloden, made for about seven shillings in 1964.)
Gibson and Wallace seem intent on founding their own exclusive zone of absolute historical wrongness.
