Ice Road Truckers (TV Series) (2007): Rubbish!
Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010): A great introduction to the oldest human art yet known. Very interesting, especially the alternative theory as to who these paintings were meant for. A vital art doco, without compare
Monsieur Lazhar (2011): Good but rather slow. Gives an idea of what migrant teachers in Europe will now have to face.
Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet, The (2013): Stunning, intriguing, funny and interesting. Highly recommended for adults and kids over 12, say. Unless they're prodigious! The Smithsonian staff are treated a bit harshly compared with the freewheeling country folk. Very imaginative!
Inspector Rex (TV Series) (1994-2004): Excellent for adults & kids aged 8–12. Good plots.
Tango (1998): See Blood Wedding instead!
Motorcycle Diaries (Diarios de Motocicleta) (2004): Terrific scenery – a great introduction to the continent. I knew too little to judge whether it was historically accurate, but its definitely fun!; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
House of Games (1987): Very, very clever Seattle–based thriller with a very smart heroine. What a breath of fresh air! But you need to watch the double–double crosses very carefully! Perfect for lovers of card games ...and more.
Nine Queens (Nueve Reinas) (2000): Gripping, funny, brilliantly plotted and and acted...what more could you want? A very fine movie.
Secret in Their Eyes, The (El Secreto de sus Ojos) (2009): Outstanding complex crime drama, brilliantly acted. Leaves Hollywood in the dust!
