Some Kind of Wonderful - PG-13

The same themes of Pretty in Pink with a gender inversion. Even though the topics are not as brilliantly held as in that movie, it's also a delight. The ending is one of the sweetest things ever filmed.

Pretty in Pink - PG-13

Apparently, a love story. Between the lines, a dramedy about disillusion, the search for an identity and social differences. A defining movie for adolescence.

The Hurt Locker - R

Kathryn Bigelow is one of the most underrated action directors around. And what's more - with brains. An inspired performance by Jeremy Renner lifts this movie from your typical narrative about the Iraqi War.

Inglourious Basterds - R

Tarantino takes his meta-cinematic style to another level, and using one of the most un-ironic themes of all: WWII. Unforgettable scenes and great acting, especially from the international cast.

Unconditional Love - PG-13
