Godfather Part 3, The (1990): Not quite as gripping as either of the first 2 films, though still excellent by any standards, Coppola and Pacino return for the finale of the Godfather trilogy and are still on top–form.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Godfather Trilogy, The (1972-1990): This is the best boxset I have ever bought, with 3 incredible films, and more hours worth of content than you will probably watch in full.
Godfather Part 2, The (1974): A rare sequel in that it is just as good as the first film, if not even deeper. The cast is excellent (despite the absence of Brando), the story is just as fulfilling, and it deservedly won best picture.
Godfather, The (1972): THE must–see gangster movie, with timeless performances by all major roles, and the deepest insight to life in the Mafia.; DVD $19.95
Nikita (La Femme Nikita) (1990): Very stylish, with some good action sequences, but feeling somewhat aged already. The character remains intriguing though, and the premise is one that has been copied (to some degree) many times since.; DVD $19.95
Men Who Stare at Goats, The (2009): One of my favourite comedies of the year, this has the same understated sense of humour as the Coens’ 'Burn After Reading', with some right–on–the–money performances by Clooney, Bridges, and Spacey.
Layer Cake (2004): A British crime action/suspense film in the same line as 'Lock Stock', although somewhat grittier and less funny. Overall, a good film with Craig proving why he should (and has) become the next Bond.
Defendor (2009): DefendOR Harrelson is what would happen if Forrest Gump turned dark and decided to become a super/antihero. A fun action comedy in the same line as 'Kick Ass', this pokes some fun at the superhero genre while remaining in the category.
Kick-Ass (2010): An odd action/comedy/superhero(ish) film that was not at all what I expected. Some good fight scenes, funny moments, and an interesting everyman–hero (not super) who teams up with other antiheroes to take down some fairly typical bad guys.
Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles (TV Series) (2008): A decent sci–fi series set in the T2 era, this takes many of the original ideas and combines them with some new TV–budget special effects and cast. Fun, although not particularly deep, TV viewing.
