@Helen Bach
I've seen Requiem and it's a fabulous film. Very disturbing but really really well crafted. I just watched Nightcrawler on Friday I think it was. What a unlikeable awful character Jake was huh?! Good movie and I like the no-frills encapsulated style. A microcosm of ick! LOL

Philomena sounds interesting and I like the cast! Haven't  seen Mare Winningham in anything in quite some time and I think she is underutilized. She's a terrific actress

 @Leelee1123

Romance is not usually my first choice in genre but I see that it's got high ratings. Please tell me about it

@Andreatoo, et al thank you for this post.  I have made a list which is very helpful!  LM

@Andreatoo: Since you like Tarantino, have you seen Jackie Brown? Inglorious Bastards? IB stars Christoph Waltz; someone else here mentioned liking him. (Love him in Django...not very likeable in IB, though.)  I love that this thread is including a lot of offbeat and indy films! Anyone remember Heathers starring a very young and oh-so-cute Christian Slater???

I was just watching Elizabeth with Cate Blanchett. That reminded me of Notes on a Scandal.   Great movie.

I've seen the Tarantino films with the exception of the Django now and I've seen Heather's but my favorite Christian Slater is still True Romance! Since you ladies seem to have the same taste in film is myself if you haven't already you need to check out director Danny Boyle. Shallow grave, Trainspotting, a life less ordinary, 28 Days Later etcetera. Boyle likes to employ Ewan McGregor in his films
