M

This sophisticated thriller is certainly deserving of its title as the pre-cursor to Film Noir

Schindler's List

Spielberg’s greatest work is compulsory viewing

The Boat That Rocked

All the fun of this quirky period piece is squeezed out by the overlong runtime

Whiteout

Whiteout could’ve been a taut, suspenseful crime thriller, but instead, it’s a lot of bad dialogue and dull mystery that leads up to a lackluster climax — but the snow is pretty.

Adventureland

Not the film it was advertised to be, “Adventureland” is actually a very sweet movie with people you’ll like that is the antidote to just about every raunchy teen sex comedy ever.

The Soloist

This fascinating character study amongst the underbelly of Los Angeles powerfully drowns out any cheesy sentimentality.

District 9

A film that transcends in genre, District 9 is an instant classic that gives sci-fi the boost of credibility it’s deserved for a long time.

Antichrist

Not for the faint of heart, Antichrist isn’t horror, and it’s a lot to take in, but Dafoe and especially Gainsbourg give heart-wrenching performances that deserve to be seen, if you can handle it.

Funny People

A heart-warming comedy that does the impossible by successfully mixing death, comedy and Adam Sandler.

Katyn

Katyn is at times inaccessible but well worth sticking with, if only to learn about this dark episode from Polish history.
