- Shutter Island (2010)
- A dark horse from Scorsese that turns into an intense, thought–provoking thriller with a stellar turn from DiCaprio.
- Magnolia (2000)
- An emotional rollercoaster ride with a top–notch ensemble cast and the most heart–breaking sing–along in cinematic history.
- Eastern Promises (2007)
- A simple but well made and rewarding film with a great supporting cast and an exceptional, Oscar–worthy turn from Mortensen. Easily the best gangster film of the last decade.
- Fight Club (1999)
- Fast, funny, dark and stylish, with excellent performances from Pitt, Bonham–Carter and Norton.
- Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The (2005)
- A powerful tale of friendship and redemption which is perfectly reaslised with an excellent cast and director.
- Ed Wood (1994)
- A real pleasure, full of charm, quirkiness, emotion and personality. This is both Depp and Burton at their very best.
- Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
- A wonderfully dark, atmosphereic film that relishes in the gore and black humour. A real delight, with a fantastic cast. The songs aren\'t half bad either.

- American Beauty (1999)
- Beautiful cinematography, a screenplay laced with dark humour and tragedy, and a game supporting cast all wrap around an absolutely spectacular, heart–breakingly moving performance from Kevin Spacey.
- Usual Suspects, The (1995)
- A film that is always remembered for its legendary ending, but should also be credited for its solid direction and great cast. Kevin Spacey is utterly fantastic.
