THE QUIET EARTH (1984)
Certification15 Our Rating
A scientist finds himself left alone in the world after a scientific experiment goes wrong. The story turns into romance, then drama, after he discovers first a woman then another man still alive, and then thriller as they realise that the experiment still has a harvest to reap. Superb.

THIRTEEN DAYS (2001)
Certification12 Our Rating
Gripping dramatization of the goings on in the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis, revealing how close the American military were to starting World War 3 after the Soviets responded to the placement of first strike nuclear weapons in Turkey by trying to place them in Cuba. As the world teetered on the nuclear brink a small number of White House aides fought off the majority view, and peace prevailed as Kennedy capitulated and agreed the withdrawal of US weapons from Turkey. Excellent.
