Films you simply must watch

'Spring, summer, autumn, winter and spring' Brilliant Korean film with lots of vistas.

"Pretty Village, Pretty Flame".
An old film from either Serbia or Croatia depicting the futility and total nature of that war. Moving.

American Beauty.
The Big Lebowsky.
Layer Cake.
Football Factory.

Hotel Rwanda was good.
