- Man in the Hat, The (2020)
- Watch this twice! First time, bizarre.... Second time droll. Worth watching for a bit of whimsy.
- DVD $29.95
- I, Daniel Blake (2016)
- So true! Every Government Minister should see this film and try to understand the 'Catch–22' situation many unemployed people find themselves in. Will they shed tears while patting their fat wallets?
- Wendy and Lucy (2008)
- What a breath of fresh air from an American movie maker! Truth without sentiment, a refusal to indulge in graphic detail where ugliness might have been gratuitously exploited, and hope and trust rather than a conveniently happy ending.
- Belle and Sebastian (Belle et Sebastien) (2013)
- Fabulous scenery – lovable characters (boy and dog) – genuine raw French remote village. Watch the woodsman bring home his logs – cutting edge DIY!
- Two is a Family (Demain tout commence) (2016)
- French but not à la française – likeable characters but hyper American style action, and set for the most part in London.
- DVD $29.95
- On My Way (2013)
- Un film délicieux! Life goes on!
- Rosalie Blum (2016)
- Delightful movie – the characters, the setting, all perfect! don't miss this one!
- Le Havre (2011)
- A perfect depiction of the human heart found in unexpected people and places. To use a cliché, a gem of a movie.
- Valet, The (La Doublure) (2006)
- Delightful French farce – a perfect pick–me–up
- Umrika (2015)
- Nothing sentimental about this movie and, despite misgivings, brash America does not intrude in a 3D reality. Satisfying.
- La La Land (2016)
- The most disappointing, gormless movie I've seen for a long time. I kept expecting the vivid primary colours and fake scenery to suddenly evolve into reality and soul–satisfying greatness, but it just didn't happen.
- Man and a Woman, A (1966)
- I can't understand the attraction of this movie – I found the story–line weak and predictable, the lead actress wooden. Have I missed something??
- Bag of Rice (1996)
- I loved this movie – human kindness is alive and well in Iran!rnWish I could buy it to share around!
- Bekas (2012)
- I loved this movie! A nice balance between harshness and human kindness, with the eternal spark of hope that fires the imagination of the young.
- Much Ado About Nothing (2012)
- Hello I Must Be Going (2012)
- As it is in Heaven (Så som i himmelen) (2004)
- Saccharine sweet, predictable, and sentimental. Yawn your way through it. (I must be a Scrooge–heart.)
- DVD $19.95
- Honey (Bal) (2008)
- A beautiful movie!
