Stalker (1979)
A forbidding, futuristic film, well worth seeing. It's almost a video version of "1984" – grimmer – and Russian. Stunning visuals are a must–see, especially for SF enthusiasts and others. It packs a punch!
Russian Ark (2002)
Tiresome! You need a lot of energy to sit m through this video!
Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer (2013)
Brave women facing a broken judicial system and compliant Church. I think the Orthodox Church comes out of this even worse than Putin.The country that most needs a Revolution is still Russia! The film is entertaining and informative. 
Wadjda (2012)- Simple film about young women's lives and opportunities in one of Islam's most repressive states. Next they will have women's football teams, as in Egypt! Well worth seeing, even if you just want to be entertained.
In My Father's Den (2004)- Tense & beautiful. By far the best NZ movie I have ever seen. Complex plot, thankfully free of the racial and social fantasies that corrupt most NZ films. Strongly recommended– for adults.
- DVD
$24.95$18.70 
Marley and Me (2008)- Nothing to do with Bob Marley! DVD needs removal to another category e.g. "silly American comedy/romance"
Bob Marley - Legend, The Very Best of (1995)
Not "definitive" compared with 2012 documentary MARLEY, which has more and better–processed music. OK if you want to listen to music, but as a "bio", it's pretty inadequate. 
Marley (2012)- By far the best film on Bob Marley's life and music.Jamaica is captured well, along with lesser–known aspects of his life and music. Includes rare tracks not easily available elsewhere. Soundtrack quality is high as most tracks have been re–mastered.
Harder They Come, The (1972)- A lovely simple film with a GREAT soundtrack. Strongly recommended
A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004)- Great acting, good script and good music. Memorable scenes of New Orleans just before destruction by Hurricane Katrina. Funny, gripping and moving; easy viewing. American literary quotes will amuse aficionados but do not intrude.
