- Running On Empty (1988)
- Easily one of the most poignant and edifying films of the 80's about the blessings and burdens of family life. River Phoenix gives an Oscar nominated performance making Running on Empty in my top ten favourite films of all time.
- Filth and the Fury, The (2000)
- The documentary takes an intelligent perspective on the punk scene in retrospect and is fairly objective and revealing. Of interest to any Sex Pistols fans.
- Joy Division (2007)
- One of the best and honest accounts of one of the most influential bands you're ever likely to see. Glad to see a documentary about Joy Division that focuses on the band themselves.
- Aaah Zombies! (Wasting Away) (2007)
- Despite the tiny budget, creators Matthew and Sean Kohnen have taken the zombie genre to a whole new level. It's definitely a good laugh and an entertaining film for all zombie lovers.
- DVD $34.95
- Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
- Forget garlic, crucifixes and wooden stakes. Jarmusch dispenses with the usual vampire paraphernalia to deliver a beguiling meditation on love and immortality. Favourite film of the year.
- God Help the Girl (2014)
- Actress Emily Browning captures Eve's weariness and enthusiasm effectively. Additionally, her lovely voice and crisp delivery gives Murdoch's laboured lyrics a vulnerable immediacy.
- Control (2007)
- Being a Joy Division fanatic myself, Control is easily one of the finest films ever made about the collision of music, madness, and the human heart.
- Greetings From Tim Buckley (2012)
- A sentimental mirror portrait of father and son, two of the most beloved singers of their generations. Full of songs from both Buckleys, the film stays away from a typical biographical structure, ending the film before Jeff Buckley even got famous.
