Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
4/5	95%	Oklahoma! (1955)	" 50 years on there's still an infectious charm about Oklahoma!" — BBC Posted Nov 1, 2007
3/5	44%	A Few Days in September (Quelques jours en septembre) (2007)	" A Few Days in September is that rarest and most peculiar of creatures: a French arthouse action thriller." — BBC Posted Sep 14, 2007
4/5	86%	Small Engine Repair (2007)	" It's Glen's brilliantly understated performance of the sensitive, troubled Doug that elevates Small Engine Repair way above the competition; by the end, his small journey of quiet redemption will mean everything to you." — BBC Posted Sep 7, 2007
4/5	80%	Born and Bred ()	" A searing, wonderfully shot, and artfully understated examination of guilt and grief." — BBC Posted Aug 24, 2007
3/5	96%	A fost sau n-a fost?, (12:08 East of Bucharest) (2007)	" A funny, gentle film that understands the wearying nature of political upheaval." — BBC Posted Aug 17, 2007
3/5	88%	Wild Style (1983)	" The acting is stilted, and the story almost non-existent. But that isn't the point, Wild Style is a cult classic - indisputably the most important hip hop movie, ever." — BBC Posted Aug 10, 2007
4/5	79%	I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life & Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal (2007)	" A tragic, inspiring film." — BBC Posted Jul 31, 2007
2/5	48%	Macbeth (2006)	" A tacky mix of neon lights and bare skin." — BBC Posted Jul 13, 2007
3/5	84%	Black Gold (2006)	" True, fair trade coffee is not the newest story around, but Black Gold still makes for arresting viewing." — BBC Posted Jun 8, 2007
4/5	86%	Scott Walker: 30 Century Man (2006)	" A pitch-perfect, and hilarious, spoof on pop industry pretension and the biopic format." — BBC Posted Apr 27, 2007
3/5	53%	Sheitan (Satan) (2006)	" Vincent Cassel is the overpowering presence here; his perma-grinning, unkempt Joseph is brilliantly unsettling." — BBC Posted Feb 23, 2007
3/5	66%	The Bridge (2006)	" despite the shocking, up-close look, we're no closer to a real understanding of the terrible urge to end it all." — BBC Posted Feb 16, 2007
4/5	91%	Iraq in Fragments (2006)	" Watch the evening news and you get a view of Iraq from high above the wreckage. In this fascinating doc, director James Longley shows us how things look on the ground." — BBC Posted Jan 27, 2007
4/5	88%	Requiem (2006)	" A naturalistic and thrillingly powerful film, with a stand-out performance from Hüller at its centre." — BBC Posted Nov 21, 2006
2/5	86%	Election (Hak se wui) (2005)	" It's a thrilling premise. What a shame, then, that Election can't get the basics right." — BBC Posted Oct 28, 2006
2/5	12%	The Aryan Couple, (The Couple) (2005)	" A case study in why Holocaust movies are so difficult to get right." — BBC Posted Oct 17, 2006
3/5	46%	The Last Kiss (2006)	" This drama is a well-crafted and heartfelt look at commitment, infidelity and the end of youth." — BBC Posted Oct 17, 2006
3/5	30%	Tideland (2006)	" Tideland contains more shining, jewel-like moments than most films. It will reward your patience." — BBC Posted Sep 23, 2006
2/5	11%	The Benchwarmers (2006)	" The Benchwarmers is better than it should have been. Only, that's not saying much." — BBC Posted Jun 6, 2006
3/5	93%	The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (Moartea domnului Lazarescu) (2006)	" Fiscuteanu's Lazarescu is a strange, compelling creation, and if you allow it time, this haunting, artful movie will get under your skin." — BBC Posted Jun 6, 2006
4/5	91%	Deep Sea 3D (2006)	" Fancy a spot of scuba diving? Without getting wet? And in the company of Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet?" — BBC Posted Mar 11, 2006
3/5	51%	Lucky Number Slevin (2006)	" Like its leading man, this movie presents a charming façade with nothing much underneath." — BBC Posted Mar 11, 2006
