Shutter Island (2010): A dark horse from Scorsese that turns into an intense, thought–provoking thriller with a stellar turn from DiCaprio.
Magnolia (2000): An emotional rollercoaster ride with a top–notch ensemble cast and the most heart–breaking sing–along in cinematic history.
Eastern Promises (2007): A simple but well made and rewarding film with a great supporting cast and an exceptional, Oscar–worthy turn from Mortensen. Easily the best gangster film of the last decade.
Fight Club (1999): Fast, funny, dark and stylish, with excellent performances from Pitt, Bonham–Carter and Norton.
Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The (2005): A powerful tale of friendship and redemption which is perfectly reaslised with an excellent cast and director.
Ed Wood (1994): A real pleasure, full of charm, quirkiness, emotion and personality. This is both Depp and Burton at their very best.
Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007): A wonderfully dark, atmosphereic film that relishes in the gore and black humour. A real delight, with a fantastic cast. The songs aren\'t half bad either.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Half Nelson (2006): Insightful, powerful and deeply moving. This film is anchored by an unspeakably brilliant, heart–rendering, emotional powerhouse of a performance from young Ryan Gosling.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $19.95
American Beauty (1999): Beautiful cinematography, a screenplay laced with dark humour and tragedy, and a game supporting cast all wrap around an absolutely spectacular, heart–breakingly moving performance from Kevin Spacey.
Usual Suspects, The (1995): A film that is always remembered for its legendary ending, but should also be credited for its solid direction and great cast. Kevin Spacey is utterly fantastic.
