Goldfinger

1964, what a fun time for women. "Dink, say goodbye to Felix. Man talk."

Gloomy Sunday

A unique experience-- a German film with French sensibilities, but set in Hungary.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0155722/ (Original title: Ein Lied von Liebe und Tod)

Divided We Fall

Astounding when anyone can pull off a humorous Nazi-era film.

Lost: Season 4

Setup city. The final reveal apart, I'm sure hoping all the people who look like they died, didn't really. (But of course, they'll be back anyway.)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Not a worthy successor to the other three. Since when has Indy smiled that much? (And I don't mean a smirk or a snark.)

Cloverfield

An effective homage to pretty much every sci-fi creature film made, with the added bonus of feeling like it was made for YouTube.

Iron Man

The plot, actor, and special effects align. (Why not open this puppy on Memorial Day weekend and make a bigger bundle?)

Lilja 4-ever

Despite the somewhat unbelievable set-up, quite powerful. Makes you understand how lucky you really are.
