I remember 11-12 being the age of the big questions, where do we come from, is there life out there in the universe, and so on, and 2001 A Space Odissey being a life changer in that sense.

Also, Doctor Strangelove, if you want to show them some more Kubrick.

A Real Pain by Jesse Eisenberg was excellent, and Kieran Culkin's performance is truly incredible, I had no idea he was such a great actor.

Disclaimer by Alfonso Cuaròn is a must see. A revenge story like no other. That might be next for us after we finish Parks and Recreation. Looks really good. You won't be disappointed!

A man in his late 20's finds a job as a teacher in a remote village in the outback, and a single drunken weekend spent with the locals is enough to shatter his life completely. A movie that just stays ...

You're better watching The Night Of , which was adapted from the same author's material but much more competently (or maybe the material was just better). Along with being a good mystery thriller, it takes a kind of Wire-style view of the justice system in America and how it brutalises people and i...
