Leap Year (2010)
HBO. Light romantic comedy, well–acted. Subtle in places.
Pina (2011)
A very unusual visual feast, but strictly art. Exceptional photography & sound. Slender dancers of great discipline lack body hair. Amazing choreography & camera–work. A film of genius.- Blu-Ray
$24.95$18.70 
Burning (2018)
Great camera–work & atmospheric, but slow & boring in places. Needs plot development & is thus superficial. Deadly slow!
Girls Can't Surf (2020)- A cheery diversion & a great feminist movie, focussing on a small but fired–up group. Filmed in Australia, California, S. Africa, France & Hawaii. Once admitted, the prizes for women were half those of men. Full acceptance took 20 years.
- DVD $29.95
Children of Men (2006)- Hatred of refugees in England well–captured in this frightening but not unconvincing vision of the future. Exceptional extras on disc 2, especially the last: "The Possibility of Hope" by James Lovelock etc. Convincing must–watch predictions.
Hope Gap (2019)- A beautiful & moving film, finely paced. Great acting, script and camera work. Sensitive.
Sideways (2004)
Very American and very dated – a bad combination. Quite a good script, though. Few Pinots are grown in the area shown, so for a wine drinker, uninformative. 
Donbass (2018)
Confusing and very depressing. The 'humour' in it had no appeal for me
Romantic Road (2017)- Sensitive, intelligent, amusing & beautiful. A lovely, eccentric true film. Intelligent & witty Indian, Nepali & Bangladeshi characters enliven the whole movie, as in real life.
- DVD $29.95
Kite Runner, The (2007)- Upper–class Afghans in the 70s. Great story & scenery, made in Chinese Sinkiang (Kashgar & Tashkurgan). Part–funded by China, but a great film and accurate. Few shots of Kabul now ruined, just like Sinkiang. SFO is real. Taliban hatred of Hazari is real.
- DVD
$20$15
