Super Size Me (2003): Morgan Spurlock is a little too Michael Moore as he doggedly chases his original idea for super–sized life of McDonalds. You can't fault his determination or sacrifice, even if there is nothing particularly deep here.
American Beauty (1999): Ambitious and disturbing jet–black comedy of an American family neighbourhood where things are not quite what they seem behind their pruned roses and white–picket fences. Spec–ta–cular!
Little Miss Sunshine (2006): A sweet and funny story that tackles many ordinary everyday life issues as it follows the roadtrip of the everyman Hoover family. A feel–good comedy to be enjoyed by the entire family.
Wonderland (2003): A film that never seems quite sure of where it's going, this is at least a grimy and fairly realistic–feeling portrayal of sex superstar turned criminal, John Holmes.
Ice Age (2002): Incredibly funny and unlikely trio make their migration across the ice, encountering challenging and outrageous scenarios on the way. This is one of animation's greats, right up there with the likes of Toy Story and Shrek.
Happy Feet (2006): Brilliantly animated, and sweet story, if a little precocious at times. Will provide thorough entertainment for the young ones, and grown–ups will get their share of laughs too.
March of the Penguins (2005): Beautiful and insightful, March of the Penguins takes you on a real–life adventure so magical that you will struggle to believe you're watching a documentary. Truly incredible film–making.
Trainspotting (1996): Irvine Welsh is as stunning as Burroughs in his ability to portray the world of an addict, and Boyle successfully brings his vision to the big screen with all the dark humour, gritty realism, and harrowing hallucinations that it deserves.
American Psycho (2000): Brilliant adaptation of an even more explicit novel, with a perfect role for the egocentric Bale (who plays a brilliant psychopath), you'll never be quite sure what Bateman will do next. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to return some videotapes.
Natural Born Killers (1994): With some unusual visual effects and a hyper–violent Bonnie and Clyde hallucinogenic trip across America, Stone crafts a genius and frightening commentary of American culture and media. Not for everyone, but quite stunning.
