Charlie Wilson's War

A great movie. Shows how American politics used to work. True story on how we (it took lots of different people, many of whom didn't like each other) to work on the common goal of getting the Russians out of Afghanistan.

Jack The Ripper: The London Slasher.

Fictionalized German account of Jack the Ripper, where a young German woman, Anna Kosminski, comes to join her brother in London only to find that the police have sent him to an asylum, believing him to be Jack the Ripper. Despite the many errors, the ghost of truth remains of Kosminski dying in the madhouse after having been tucked away there by Scotland yard, while the real perpetrator was very probably a man named David Cohen (though the movie gives him a police higher up as an accomplice). German language film with English subtitles.

Good Boys.

Hilarious, but not meant for young children, lest they ask you embarrassing questions about things in the movie, such as the anal beads one of the boys gives as a necklace to a girl he has a crush on, or the real nature of that "CPR doll" the dad of one of the boys owns.

The Hallow.

A botanist and his wife and baby son have moved into an isolated house in a forest in Ireland, when they learn too late how a newly discovered, terrifying parasitic mold is the basis of ancient folklore of child stealing spirits. Harrowing, first rate horror film from Ireland.
