[/amazon_link]- Sliding Doors : Ever wondered about second chances? The ability to walk back and choose that different path? The heroine of this film has it and we the viewers can see what would have happened to Helen (Paltrow) in an alternate reality.
– Snatch : Goofy and quirky just about sums up this hilarious film. Plus there’s Brad Pitt playing a gypsy with an accent you cannot understand. You don’t really need more, do you ?
– Romantics Anonymous (French, with subtitles) : A lovely, feel-good romance built around an adoration of chocolate.
– Touching the void (documentary) : This film is based on the real-life climb, of mountaineers Simon and Joe, up the Siula Grande in Peru, and their desperate fight for survival once things start going wrong.
– Skin : This film is also based on a true-story – that of Afrikaner Sandra Laing, born during the apartheid era in south Africa. Sandra is the biological daughter of two white parents, but she doesn’t look white. Because she looks “colored” she might be reclassified as such by the government. As she grows up, Sandra faces hostility from white society, she cannot fit in. Friends and family look down upon people she might have kinship with, and since this is a strictly racist society, there is no middle ground.
