C.R.A.Z.Y (2005)| Jean Marc Vallee

When a filmmaker wins an Oscar for first time, we sometimes we forget they made films before the winning one, like Jean Marc Vallee after Oscar Glory with Dallas Buyers Club.He is one of Canada's finest filmmakers and C.R.A.Z.Y is one of his fun vibrant films, one of coming of age blessed with a great soundtrack. We love Bowie give you an idea when the film is set, a tale of a young man searching for love and happiness finding yourself in a new decade of rock'n'roll.


The Brute (1953)| Luis Buñuel

Buñuel was a master of style from surreal experimental films from his early days to his later days of art films that where twisted and wildly satirical.One thing he was so good at was delivering a powerful vision of social commentary one of guile and femme fatale clash. No one escaped  Buñuel  eyes he delivered them a lesson in life. The Brute is a story of a young man who has made a career of evicting poor people but falls madly in love with a young girl, but he has one problem she lives with her father whom lives in the building he wants to demolish.


Tin Drum (1979)| Volker Schlöndorff’

Regarded by some German's answer to Jodorowsky Volker Schlöndorff delivers a nightmarish often surreal vision of Nazi Germany through the eyes of a child.Günter Grass novel story of innocence of a young boy forced to grow up as the chaos of war unearths in front of him.disturbing, dark, subversive  but also emotional and funny.


Amélie(2015)| Jean-Pierre Jeunet

When it comes to World cinema films having success worldwide are a rarity and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's whimsical tale Amélie is one of those rare films.A magical fable of Parisian, Kaleidoscopic tale of gorgeous cinematography that has been picked straight out of a Renoir painting. It was the film that launched Audrey Tatou as she plays a young woman who takes it upon herself to improve life for her neighbours. This is an heart warming story with a leading actress who is nothing but magnetic and the reason 14 years ago the editor started his crush on Tatou!
