| HILARIOUS! British. Spend several episodes with 2 women, once hippies, now total burnouts and in the fashion industry in England. Laugh at their whacky schemes and cigarette laden discussions. |

|
| (Spike Lee) - semi-autobiographical. Loved this one. See Brooklyn in the 70's from the perspective of Spike Lee's sister as a young girl. Upbeat. Great funk music! |

| Not bad for a french film! DOH! No really...the french may know about love in real life, but in film they are usually wayyyy too sappy. This one brings to light a young married couple - she an actress, he a director. He struggles with jealousy. |

| 25th Hour (2002)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| (Spike Lee) - heavy heavy. A sort of tribute to NYC, tho that's not the movie's overt intention. A drug dealer spends his last 25 hours preparing for serious jail time. A quiet, subtle movie, but very moving. |
| Illuminata (1998)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| (John Turturro) - surrealish. People in a theatrical company show their eccentric ways behind the scenes. A "trying to save the theatre" thing. Sort of cliche, but beautiful cinematography. |
| Rounders (1998)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Cards and gambling - yes! Matt Damon plays a law student with a slight card gambling problem - but is it a problem if you win? John Malkovich plays Teddy KGB, his best character ever. |

| A little french boy convinced that when he grows up he'll be a woman. Set in a modern, but 50's style french suburbs, this causes much grief for the boys family. Filled with dream sequences. Movie has an overall good feel - not overly serious. |

| Frances McDormand and Allesandro Novella are AWESOME. You'll never believe that he's not british... Fran plays a rich music producer who leads the life out in exclusive Laurel Canyon, CA. Her straight-laced son comes to visit with his fiance. |

| Tom Waits. Breaking out of jail. Backwoods South. What more can I say? It's hip, not squeel-like-a-pig type or anything. |

|
| This movie is really cool. The writers said they wanted to create a film with universal appeal, and they did. Set in a world where luck is a not a matter of fate, but rather a skill. People who are lucky have the ability to "steal" other people's luck. |
