Under the Bombs
Sous les Bombes
Director: Philippe Aractingi
Release Date: 2008
Principal Cast: Nada Abou Farhat, Georges Khabbaz, Rawia Elchab
A woman searches for her young son in the days following the 2006 Israeli invasion and indiscriminate bombardment of Lebanon. She has been living away but had sent her son to stay with her sister while she divorced her unfaithful husband. She is assisted by a Christian cab driver who dreams of leaving war torn Lebanon. This film is easily one of the most soul wrenching, heart-rending movie I have ever seen. It was filmed during the ceasefire following the destruction; the massive, wanton destruction shown in the film is real and not props or CGI.

Release Date: 1981
Principal Cast: Jürgen Prochnow , Herbert Grönemeyer
If you are claustrophobic or have nightmares of drowning, choose a different film, but if you do you’ll miss the best movie about war at sea that has ever been made. There is more terror in this story of a WW II U-Boat crew than any slasher flick.

Based on the memoirs of Danish writer Karen Blixen's life as the owner of a coffee plantation in early 20th century Kenya, the movie is a beautiful tale of life in colonial Africa and of love found and lost. It is a top class tear jerker.

innocent blood
Innocent Blood
Director: John Landis
Release Date: 1992
Principal Cast: Anne Parillaud, David Proval, Rocco Sisto, Chazz Palminteri, Robert Loggia
Forget the more recent raft of vampire movies; they take themselves much too seriously. In Innocent Blood the vampire for sure likes and needs her fix of blood but enjoys a good time as well and best of all the story is told with a good helping of very dark humor.

Lock, stock
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Director: Guy Ritchie
Release Date: 1999
Principal Cast: Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Nick Moran, Jason Statham, Steven Mackintosh
Petty thieves from London get themselves in debt to the local mafia boss and must pay back the money or else. Thus begins the hilarious, twisted, screwed up attempt to get the money by any means possible. The scene where the druggie suddenly picks up the Bren machine gun and as she cuts loose the film cuts to slow motion has to be one of the funniest bits ever. You will laugh in spite of yourself.

the devil at 4
The Devil at 4 O'Clock
Director: Mervyn LeRoy
Release Date: 1961
Principal Cast: Spencer Tracy, Frank Sinatra, Kerwin Mathews
I first saw this film when I was a kid and it made a hugh impression on me. Yes it is something of a spiritual film but that only helps a good story better. No there is no graphic violence and no profanity, but Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra spin a spellbinding tale.
