Blood Simple (1984): A scorching debut from the Coens, full of colourful characters, suspenseful mystery and sinister humour.
Rear Window (1954): A bona–fide classic. Incredibley intense and rewarding with a sublime James Stewart and an enchanting Grace Kelly.
A History of Violence (2005): The atmosphere throughtout the film and a couple of scenes in paticular seem a little off, but a brilliant lead performance from Mortensen and great supporting turns from Harris and Hurt make up for it in spades.
Barry Lyndon (1975): Visually impeccable. Brilliant direction and a great cast makes every second of its three hour run time a real treat.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $22.45
Lolita (1962): Full of intrugue and jet–black humour. An absolute pleasure to watch.
Crash (2005): Yes, it\'s pure Hollywood, but it\'s Hollwood at it\'s very, very best, with a great cast and some truly heart–wrenching moments.
Donnie Brasco (1997): Depp is great, Pacino isn\'t constantly shouting and the script is full of tension and a surprising amount of humour. A hugely enjoyable gangster flick.
Raising Arizona (1985): Gleefully quirky, wildly original and extremely funny.
Truman Show, The (1998): A smart, insightful dramedy with a brilliant sense of style and heart as well as a stunning performance fom Carrey.
City of God (Cidade de Deus) (2002): Moving, action–packed and gripping. A real treasure.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
