Ice Road Truckers (TV Series) (2007)
Rubbish!
Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010)
A great introduction to the oldest human art yet known. Very interesting, especially the alternative theory as to who these paintings were meant for. A vital art doco, without compare
Monsieur Lazhar (2011)
Good but rather slow. Gives an idea of what migrant teachers in Europe will now have to face.
Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet, The (2013)
Stunning, intriguing, funny and interesting. Highly recommended for adults and kids over 12, say. Unless they're prodigious! The Smithsonian staff are treated a bit harshly compared with the freewheeling country folk. Very imaginative!
Inspector Rex (TV Series) (1994-2004)
Excellent for adults & kids aged 8–12. Good plots.
Tango (1998)
See Blood Wedding instead!
Motorcycle Diaries (Diarios de Motocicleta) (2004)
Terrific scenery – a great introduction to the continent. I knew too little to judge whether it was historically accurate, but its definitely fun!
House of Games (1987)
Very, very clever Seattle–based thriller with a very smart heroine. What a breath of fresh air! But you need to watch the double–double crosses very carefully! Perfect for lovers of card games ...and more.
Nine Queens (Nueve Reinas) (2000)
Gripping, funny, brilliantly plotted and and acted...what more could you want? A very fine movie.
Secret in Their Eyes, The (El Secreto de sus Ojos) (2009)
Outstanding complex crime drama, brilliantly acted. Leaves Hollywood in the dust!
