Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977, PG)
The ultimate alien encounter movie. Memorable for life. OK it's too long, but the music haunts too. Tops for me esp for the sci-fi genre. |

Midnight Express (1978, R)
Great movie, lessons learnt from the storyline, in it's time a very controversial film. Buy the soundtrack. |
|
| 9 |
Blade Runner (1982, R)
A movie that was a cult hit, watch how it shapes all future movies, great visuals, the progenitor of many Ridley Scott's and many PK Dick screenplays |

Orlando (1992, PG-13)
Seen with the Monday Men. Wow what a mixed reaction. Love it! A sumptous eye feast of a movie. An exploration of gender roles. Some will hate it for the lack of plot and some weird moments. Good soundtrack too. I found it thought provoking. Others slept LOL! |

The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro) (The Sea Within) (2004, PG-13)
A beautiful and powerfully moving story, wonderfully acted (in Spanish), much food for thought... but mostly it will move your heart. Way better than the Oscar "No Country" |

Oh my God! Side splitting. My wife laughed so hard I couldn't hear some of the sound track (LOL). Classic British farce is back. How do they think of all those turns? Great acting. Great story. Highly recommended if you have any British funny bones in you. |

Ben X (2007, Unrated)
An astonishing movie. Themes of gaming, bullying, misfits, integration of these kids in schools, suicide. Brilliant performance by the young lead. groundbreaking in the opening 20 mins of mixing gaming and real life. Watch it. Angus picked it for the group. |

OK maybe purely as a movie it is not 5 star but it is SO well done, SO much TRUTH, this needs to be watched by everyone. Forget the 'starring' listed here. This is about us as a people. Watch it with a friend. |
