Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, this week with special guest Cethan Leahy, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them.

This week, Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory.

At the height of the Great War, Major General Georges Broulard issues an order to Brigadier General Paul Mireau: his command is to storm and hold the ant-hill, a heavily-fortified enemy position. It is pure military folly, which will lead to the deaths of thousands of men under the command of Colonel Dax. However, Dax and the men under his command very quickly discover that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the insanity that consumes the chain of command.

At time of recording, it was ranked 65th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
