55 titles
- DirectorAndrew BujalskiStarsJustin RiceRachel CliftAndrew BujalskiAlan is a musician who leaves a busted-up band for New York, and a new musical voyage. He tries to stay focused and fends off all manner of distractions, including the attraction to his good friend's girlfriend.A brilliant independent mumblecore film from Andrew Bujalski. Watch if you like Woody Allen or Jim Jarmusch films.
- DirectorAlex HoldridgeStarsScoot McNairySara SimmondsBrian McGuireBroke and alone on New Year's Eve, Wilson just wants to spend the rest of a very bad year in bed. But, when his best friend convinces him to post a personal ad, he meets a woman bent on finding the right guy to be with at midnight.A more realistic take on romance than you'd see in any of the big budget hollywood blockbusters.
- DirectorPedro González-RubioStarsJorge MachadoRoberta PalombiniNatan Machado PalombiniBefore their inevitable farewell, Jorge, a young man of Mayan roots, and Natan, his half-Italian son, spend time together living off the Banco Chinchorro coral reef.A beautiful blend of fiction and non fiction. Slow paced with little dialogue but beautiful cinematography and a wonderful film.
- DirectorJay DuplassMark DuplassStarsMark DuplassKatie AseltonRhett WilkinsJosh Sagers drives cross-country on a mission to deliver his father's birthday gift - a giant purple LazyBoy.Probably the best Duplass brothers film. Essentially a road trip movie with a difference. Comedy, romance, sadness - it's all there.
- DirectorSylvain ChometStarsJean-Claude DondaEilidh RankinDuncan MacNeilA French illusionist finds himself out of work and travels to Scotland, where he meets a young woman. Their ensuing adventure changes both their lives forever.Based on a script written by Jacques Tati in 1956, the story of a platonic relationship between an old and failing magician and a young girl. Beautiful, wordless storytelling at it's best.
- DirectorAaron KatzStarsErin FisherCris LankenauSarah HellmanJamie is 21. She's from Atlanta. She's come to Brooklyn to visit her friend Samantha, but she can't find her. Jamie meets a stranger named Charlie on the subway and spends 24 hours hanging out with him.A great, realistic take on the one day together in a city story, that's become familiar over the years.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeTrevor Jack BrooksLorelei LinklaterA man shuffles through a dream meeting various people and discussing the meanings and purposes of the universe.Probably one of the strangest films you will ever watch in your lifetime, and also one of the best examinations of dreaming ever put on film.
Worthwhile viewing if you like a film to make you think, (and also to give you incredibly strange and vivid dreams). - DirectorJuan José CampanellaStarsRicardo DarínSoledad VillamilPablo RagoA retired legal counselor writes a novel hoping to find closure for one of his past unresolved homicide cases and for his unreciprocated love with his superior - both of which still haunt him decades later.This Oscar winning Argentinian crime film should have been seen by many more people in this country (UK) than it has been, and thus it makes the list.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsJeremy TheobaldAlex HawLucy RussellA young writer who follows strangers for material meets a thief who takes him under his wing.Christopher Nolan's debut film has been missed by many but is brilliant and full of the twists and turns the director has become known for.
- DirectorCraig GillespieStarsRyan GoslingEmily MortimerPaul SchneiderA delusional young man strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.Okay, so a lot of people have heard of the film. Not many have actually seen it though. It's a brilliant look at a troubled soul without ever making fun or joking at his expense as you might expect given the premise.
- DirectorChris JaymesStarsJeremy SistoChris JaymesMatt KeeslarThe youngest son of a legendary Hollywood producer, a Robert Evans type, accepts a bribe from his father to document his death.Brilliant film, filled with dark humour and watch out for Jeremy Sisto's brilliant performance!
- DirectorAdam ElliotStarsToni CollettePhilip Seymour HoffmanEric BanaIn 1976 Melbourne, a lonely 8-year-old girl strikes up a correspondence with an unlikely pen pal: a severely obese 44-year-old New Yorker with Asperger's syndrome.Filled with just about every emotion known to man. A really moving story of a New Yorker with Asperger's syndrome and an Australian girl he befriends through letter writing.
- DirectorAaron KatzStarsCole PensingerAnna KavanRyan WhiteJessica and Gus, two apathetic teenagers, drift aimlessly from one day to the next until they meet each other. They make a tenuous and fleeting connection when Gus confides in Jessica about his dark past.Another brilliant mumblecore film from Aaron Katz. At just over an hour long, it's filled with great performances and doesn't need to last any longer.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsRichard LinklaterRudy BasquezJean CaffeineA day in the life of Austin, Texas as the camera roams from place to place and provides a brief look at the overeducated, the social misfits, the outcasts and the oddballs.Richard Linklater's film Slacker basically kick started the whole independent movement and has been recognised by Kevin Smith as the inspiration behind 'Clerks'.
- DirectorRémy BelvauxAndré BonzelBenoît PoelvoordeStarsBenoît PoelvoordeJacqueline Poelvoorde-PappaertNelly PappaertA film crew follows a ruthless thief and heartless killer as he goes about his daily routine. But complications set in when the film crew lose their objectivity and begin lending a hand.A brilliant dark film about a documentary film crew making a film about a mass murderer and following him around as he kills. Only watch if you are prepared for some extremely tough viewing.
- DirectorAndrea ArnoldStarsKate DickieTony CurranMartin CompstonJackie works as a CCTV operator. Each day she watches over a small part of the world, protecting the people living their lives under her gaze. One day a man appears on her monitor, a man she thought she would never see again, a man she never wanted to see again. Now she has no choice, she is compelled to confront him.A brilliant film, set in Glasgow. Again, it is very dark and tough viewing, but worth watching, and a great look at the modern day CCTV society.
- DirectorHal HabermanJeremy PassmoreStarsMichael RapaportPaul BlackthorneJosh PeckA lonely comic book fan, Les Franken, has a reaction to medication and becomes convinced he's a superhero.A man takes a new drug, and becomes convinced he has super powers. Made on a micro budget, and this occasionally shows, however the performances and heart of the film more than make up for this.
- DirectorTom McCarthyStarsRichard JenkinsHaaz SleimanDanai GuriraA college professor travels to New York City to attend a conference and finds a young couple living in his apartment.One of the more well known films on the list, but as I don't know anyone who has seen it, it gets included. Watch out for an astounding performance by Six Feet Under's Richard Jenkins.
- DirectorJoe SwanbergStarsJoe SwanbergC. Mason WellsKevin BewersdorfThe relationships of three men are examined through their use of technology.A great film by Joe Swanberg, it's a great look at modern technology and the online obsessions of modern day young people.
- DirectorMark WexlerStarsHaskell WexlerMark WexlerBilly CrystalThe son of acclaimed cinematographer Haskell Wexler confronts his complex father by turning the camera on him. What results is a portrait of a difficult genius and a son's path out of the shadow of a famous father.One of the best documentaries ever made in my opinion. Not only does it tell the story of famous cinematographer Haskell Wexler, but it also a brilliant study of the relationship between a father and son, especially through difficult times.
- DirectorAndrew BujalskiStarsKate DollenmayerMark HerlehyChristian RudderMarnie just graduated from college, drinks likes she's still in school, and is looking for a temporary job but a permanent boyfriend. She loves a guy who doesn't love her (?), ping-pongs between awkward romantic alternatives and even less suitable jobs.Another Andrew Bujalski film, although not as good as Mutual Appreciation, it's still a great watch.
- DirectorJohn CarneyStarsGlen HansardMarkéta IrglováHugh WalshA modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week in Dublin, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story.Okay so quite a lot of people might have seen this, but not enough. Everyone should watch it at least once. Brilliant, brilliant film.
- DirectorHenry BeanStarsRyan GoslingSummer PhoenixPeter MeadowsA young Jewish man develops a fiercely anti-Semitic philosophy. Based on the factual story of a K.K.K. member in the 1960s who was revealed to be Jewish by a New York Times reporter.Again, barely anyone seems to have seen this film, it is such a powerful film and deserves to be watched.
- DirectorCharlie KaufmanStarsPhilip Seymour HoffmanSamantha MortonMichelle WilliamsA theatre director struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he creates a life-size replica of New York City inside a warehouse as part of his new play.A weird and wonderful film, by the writer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich.
- DirectorJean-Pierre JeunetStarsDany BoonAndré DussollierNicolas MariéA man and his friends come up with an intricate and original plan to destroy two big weapons manufacturers.Lovely film, for lovers of French cinema and quirky humour.,
- DirectorMichael Paul StephensonStarsGeorge HardyPita RayMicki KnoxA look at the making of the film Troll 2 (1990) and its journey from being crowned the "worst film of all time" to a cherished cult classic.A great documentary about the 'so bad it's good' film that is Troll 2 - really great documentary about a really interesting subject. Full of humour and also quite moving in it's own way.
- DirectorLynn SheltonStarsMark DuplassJoshua LeonardAlycia DelmoreTwo guys take their bromance to another level when they participate in an art film project.A new take on the 'bromance' formula. One step further really. A great, little film though.
- DirectorLaura GabbertJustin ScheinStarsColin BeavanMichelle ConlinFollow the Manhattan-based Beavan family as they abandon their high consumption 5th Avenue lifestyle and try to live a year while making no net environmental impact.For anyone interested in the environment or even those who aren't, check it out.
- DirectorAbbas KiarostamiStarsJuliette BinocheWilliam ShimellJean-Claude CarrièreIn Tuscany to promote his latest book, a middle-aged British writer meets a French woman who leads him to the village of Lucignano. While there, a chance question reveals something deeper.Juliette Binoche gives a brilliant performance in this strange, but great film.
- DirectorNicholas JasenovecStarsCharlyne YiMichael CeraJake JohnsonCharlyne Yi embarks on a quest across America to make a documentary about the one subject she doesn't fully understand: Love.Michael Cera and Charlene Yi are terrific in this film about a girl (Yi) who doesn't believe in love.
- DirectorShane CarruthStarsShane CarruthDavid SullivanCasey GoodenFour friends/fledgling entrepreneurs, knowing that there's something bigger and more innovative than the different error-checking devices they've built, wrestle over their new invention.A brilliantly smart time travel film.
- DirectorJohn AugustStarsRyan ReynoldsHope DavisMelissa McCarthyA troubled actor, a television show runner, and an acclaimed videogame designer find their lives intertwining in mysterious and unsettling ways.Okay, so it's weird, but it's also very good, if mainly for Ryan Reynolds great performance playing three roles.
- DirectorRoger MichellStarsPeter O'TooleJodie WhittakerLeslie PhillipsLife for a pair of veteran actors gets turned upside down after they meet a brash teenager.Peter O'Toole's performance is simply stunning.
- DirectorSteve BuscemiStarsCasey AffleckLiv TylerMary Kay PlaceFailing to make it on his own, twenty-seven-year-old Jim moves back in with his parents and deals with crippling family obligations.Fuelled by a great performance by Casey Affleck, what could have been a hugely depressing film, is a surprisingly enjoyable watch.
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsCasey AffleckMatt DamonA friendship between two young men is tested when they go for a hike in a desert and forget to bring any water or food with them.Do not watch this if you can't handle your films incredibly slow moving. It is mainly a character piece, and is thus driven by the conversations between the two leads.(Matt Damon and Casey Affleck)
- DirectorEsteban SapirStarsAlejandro UrdapilletaValeria BertuccelliJulieta CardinaliThis near-silent black and white film from Argentina tells the story of a city that has lost its voice, stolen by Mr. TV, and the attempts of a small family to win the voice back. Similar in design to early German expressionist films.If you are a fan of Burton or Gilliam, I would recommend this film, a brilliant, dark fantasy film.
- DirectorBrian GilbertStarsStephen FryJude LawVanessa RedgraveThe turmoil in poet/playwright Oscar Wilde's life after he discovers his homosexuality.Stephen Fry is brilliant in the lead role as Oscar Wilde. They could not have cast Wilde better.
- DirectorDavid MoreauXavier PaludStarsOlivia BonamyMichaël CohenAdriana MoccaLucas and Clementine live peacefully in their isolated country house, but one night they wake up to strange noise... they're not alone... and a group of hooded assailants begin to terrorize them throughout the night.I'm not usually a huge fans of horror, but this struck me in the same way 'Rec' did. It's not shot in the same way, nor is the plot in any way similar, but both have the eerie build up and great plots that American and UK horrors often lack.
- DirectorTamara JenkinsStarsLaura LinneyPhilip Seymour HoffmanPhilip BoscoA sister and brother face the realities of familial responsibility as they begin to care for their ailing father.One of the best character studies in recent years. Each of the main characters is extraordinarily well thought out.
- DirectorGoran DukicStarsPatrick FugitShea WhighamTom WaitsA film set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide.A film about where suicide victims end up after their death. A very interesting, quirky and weird look at an alternate reality.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeJulie DelpyAndrea EckertA young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.Again quite a few people saw it, but not enough, so it makes it in. Possibly one of the best romantic movies ever made.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeJulie DelpyVernon DobtcheffNine years after Jesse and Celine first met, they encounter each other again on the French leg of Jesse's book tour.As above.
- DirectorBrad SilberlingStarsMorgan FreemanPaz VegaJonah HillAn actor prepping for an upcoming role meets a quirky grocery clerk, and together they hit the road to show each other their respective worlds.A lovely little film with Paz Vega and Morgan Freeman.
- DirectorAlexis Dos SantosStarsDéborah FrançoisFernando TielveMichiel HuismanThe quirky story of Vera and Axl who both live in the same London warehouse but whose paths never cross until fate steps in.This brilliant indie film from 2009 by Alexis Dos Santos features a great soundtrack alongside a great film.
- DirectorNoah BaumbachStarsOwen KlineJeff DanielsLaura LinneyFollows two young boys dealing with their parents' divorce in Brooklyn in the 1980s.Probably Noah Baumbach's best film to date, with brilliant all round performances. A quirky story of divorce and the effects it has on children.
- DirectorJulien TempleStarsPaul CookSteve JonesJohn LydonA film about the career of the notorious punk rock band, the Sex Pistols.Not just for Sex Pistols fans, but an all round great documentary.
- DirectorDito MontielStarsRobert Downey Jr.Rosario DawsonShia LaBeoufComing-of-age drama about a boy growing up in Astoria, New York during the 1980s. As his friends end up dead, on drugs or in prison, he comes to believe he has been saved from their fates by various so-called saints.Just a great film about growing up, and moving on with your life.
- DirectorTom McCarthyStarsPeter DinklagePatricia ClarksonBobby CannavaleWhen his only friend dies, a man born with dwarfism moves to rural New Jersey to live a life of solitude, only to meet a chatty hot dog vendor and a woman dealing with her own personal loss.A loner with a passion for trains inherits a train depot and gains some friendships he didn't expect.
- DirectorLance DalyStarsKelly O'NeillShane CurryPaul RoeTwo kids, Dylan and Kylie, run away from home at Christmas and spend a night of magic and terror on the streets of inner-city Dublin.One of the best films of recent years in my opinion. Two children run away from home and experience the big city at night time.
- DirectorRyan FleckStarsRyan GoslingAnthony MackieShareeka EppsAn inner-city junior high school teacher with a drug habit forms an unlikely friendship with one of his students after she discovers his secret.A brilliant Oscar nominated turn by Ryan Gosling makes for essential viewing.
- DirectorJulie DelpyStarsJulie DelpyAdam GoldbergDaniel BrühlMarion and Jack try to rekindle their relationship with a visit to Paris, home of Marion's parents -- and several of her ex-boyfriends.Julie Delpy - check
Adam - Goldberg - check
Can't go wrong with this charming comedy. - DirectorMichael MooreStarsMichael MooreRoger B. SmithRhonda BrittonAfter General Motors closes its factory in Flint, Michigan, eliminating 35,000 jobs, filmmaker Michael Moore undertakes a quixotic quest to interview General Motors' chairman, Roger B. Smith.Early Michael Moore documentary is one of his most underrated.
- DirectorElissa DownStarsRhys WakefieldLuke FordToni ColletteAll Thomas wants is a normal adolescence but his autistic brother, Charlie, thwarts his every opportunity. Will Thomas, with the help of his girlfriend, Jackie, accept his brother?Brilliant Australian film about a boy and his struggle with his brothers autism.
- DirectorMatt AseltonStarsPaul DanoZooey DeschanelJohn GoodmanA mattress salesman's plan to adopt a Chinese baby is augmented by the arrival of a young woman who comes to his workplace, falls asleep on one of the beds, and upon waking starts to affect his life.Quirky comedic film with Paul Dano and Zooey Deschanel - very likeable.
- DirectorWarwick ThorntonStarsRowan McNamaraMarissa GibsonMitjili Napanangka GibsonA glue-sniffing boy and his girlfriend escape the government-controlled no-hope Aboriginal community they live in and go to the city, Alice Springs, looking for a better life.Beautiful. Just, amazingly beautiful.
