Defiance [4] could easily have been just a story about killing and revenge. But this based-on-fact effort is also about something even more challenging – building a society more or less from scratch.

[6] Thrilling, complex and troubling, Munich [7] is one of the great films of Steven Spielberg's maturity. Lurking deep inside its white-knuckle action is an inescapable conundrum: What if the persecuted become persecutors?
[9] Chimpanzee [10] is sometimes so astoundingly beautiful that you wonder if it’s for real. It also smacks of contrivance and artifice, and anthropomorphizes its animal subjects.
[12] If you’re a film geek, you never forget the first time you saw The Bicycle Thieves [13]. That’s because this movie is so devastatingly emotional that suddenly you realize just how potent a movie can be.
[15] Infamous [16] is a pretty good movie with a performance by Brit actor Toby Jones as Truman Capote that should have earned him an Oscar nomination, and Daniel Craig as the murderer Perry Smith.
