Cry-Baby (Cry baby) (1990): A fun, camp, hugely enjoyable classic with hilarious performances and an awesome soundtrack.
There Will Be Blood (2007): Daniel Day–Lewis dominates this film with an incredible sense of power and purpose. He is matched by a superb story and beautiful camerawork.
Proposition, The (2005): Bold, brutal and brilliant with an exceptional script, director, cinematography and cast.
Barton Fink (1991): Full of iconic characters and moments, with biting humour and a real sense of humanity and wisdom.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Shining, The (1980): A film packed with incredible intensity and atmosphere without reliance on gore, its one of the few horror films I can watch and enjoy. Genuinely frightening with incredible acting, brilliant direction, it is also surprisingly intelligent and resonant.
Star Trek (Star Trek XI (Reboot)) (2009): For someone with absolutely no intrest in the franchise, this is a really sharp, exciting and fresh experience.
Out of the Blue (Aramoana) (2006): A haunting, resonant masterpiece with an incredibe sense of humanity and spirit. Not just the best New Zealand film, but amongst the best period.
Saving Private Ryan (1998): Apart from a really, incredible Normandy Landing scene, it\'s a pretty standard war film populated with stock–standard characters.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Black Hawk Down (2001): Makes up for flat characterisation and dodgy politics with absolutely riveting action.
Men Who Stare at Goats, The (2009): A truly hilarious film with great performances from Clooney, Bridges and Spacey that is let down by a pretty shoddy ending.
