Harvey Pekar lives the life most of us dream of avoiding, a filing clerk by day, a man at odds with, and lost in, the world he inhabits the other sixteen hours. Harvey begins to write down his disgruntled observations and with the help of equally cantankerous illustrator, Harry Crumb, ‘American Splendor' is born. This movie of the man's life is an inspired mixture of animation, documentary and dramatisation, with Paul Giamatti finally getting a role worth his talent. Funny, sad, sharp and hip to

A brilliant and highly rated thriller made in the Hitchcock mold. A hard-nosed businessman hires a low life private eye to murder his wife and the lover she's run off with, but the assassin has plans of his own. Ingenious, superbly original, satisfyingly convoluted and excruciatingly tense. A must-see.

The discovery of a dead body by four small town Australian males on a camping and fishing expedition, and their failure to abort their trip to report it, provides the catalyst to push the entire community closer to the edge of implosion. The nuclear family, and race relations, seem as dissonant here, if not more so, than anywhere else. Top quality movie making and very thought provoking.

Precious is an obese sixteen-year-old black teenager growing up in Harlem. Sexually abused by her father and the mother of two of his children life hasn't dealt Precious the ace of spades so she escapes into a fantasy world, but this film is about her reality not her dreams... Precious flees home for the safety of a special school, makes friends, is inspired by her teacher and begins the slow process of self-realization.
This award winning film sounds bleak, but it's uplifting, more Danny Boyl
