1.		Volver (Almodovar) [2006] from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Price: £5.98 Customer Review: Another one of Almodovar's brilliant works. Not his best, but still, not a disappointment in any way. Loved the acting and even the mother had her part to play, at first making us wonder whether we are indeed seeing a ghost... are we? Far be it from me to spoil that bit! The part where Cruz sings... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Maria Full Of Grace [2004] from Warner Home Video (Icon) Customer Review: Magnificant performance from Catalina. She is haunting, childish, clueless, strong, very very plucky, smart, angry, beautiful and ignorant all at the same time. The one thing she is not is resigned to her destiny! This film is about social exploitation, it's about coming of age, it's about the cost... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Lives Of Others [2007] from Lions Gate Home Entertainment Price: £3.97 Customer Review: ...is surely, if there is no God, can people do good for any other reason? Or are we destined to sink into self-centred anarchy or subservience to the system? While the TV News encourages us to answer negatively, this beautiful film offers us the tiniest sliver of hope. It doesn't spoil... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Historias Minimas [2002] from Optimum Home Entertainment Price: £6.68 Customer Review: A truly moving journey where the stories of three likeable people follow their heart against all odds and intertwine briefly. A simple, human tale of searching and finding, hope and determination, and although a little bleak at times, it leaves you with a warm glow. Very worthwhile!

5.		Before Night Falls [2001] from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Price: £5.68 Customer Review: What can I say... I saw this movie some years ago at a GLBT film festival in Copenhagen and it left images imprinted on my mind. I found it again here and bought it. It is funny, sensual and heartbreaking... Javier Bardem is a handsome man, he acts very convincingly as the Cuban... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Butterfly's Tongue [2000] from Metrodome Distribution Price: £5.98 Customer Review: A beautiful, touching, moving documentation of a young boy's growing relationship both with his teacher and the world around him that knocks the wind out of your sails and leaves you wounded. I'll take the last look on his teacher's face with me to the grave. "Sshh.. it's a story about love and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Diving Bell And The Butterfly [2007] from Pathe Distribution Price: £4.97 Customer Review: French cinema can often have edge. It has a lot of what is great about European cinema (a genuineness, strong emotional depth, subtle beauty), and adds slices of the French attitude in with it; a stubborn sense, humour and beautiful melancholy, and also incredibly sensual women. But on top of this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Spirit Of The Beehive [1973] from Optimum Home Entertainment Price: £6.58 Customer Review: Technically, this film Victor Erice's The Spirit of the Beehive is excellent, and the acting is on the button. The story is powerfull, and well told. Can I recommend it? Not a chance. Films try to infect the viewer with a certain mood. A case in point is any Terrence Mallick movie. Malick pulls... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Pan's Labyrinth [2006] from Optimum Home Entertainment Price: £3.98 Customer Review: I was introduced to the director of this film (Guillermo del Toro) by a friend who told me to watch "The Orphanage". I bought it and was more than a little perturbed to see it was all in Spanish!! I couldn't see myself watching a foreign language film like some haughty-taughty art critic, so nearly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Like Water For Chocolate [1992] from Arrow Films Price: £6.58 Customer Review: The story opens on a Mexican rancho in 1910, as Tita is being born. Her harsh mother proclaims that the girl will never marry, but will stay at home and care for her mother all her life, and the little girl is relegated to the kitchen. When Tita grows up, she falls in love with handsome Pedro; he... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
