Dust devil is excellent. Another SA ( think it was SA) film came out at about the same time with a killer robot but can't remember what it was called.

That was Hardware - Dust Devil was (I think) made or written by the same people and came out after Hardware.

Yeah that's it hardware remember it being quite bleak and grubby.

Did many people see 'Identity', quite a creepy horror starring John Cusack? Made more creepy for me by the date, which is a key part of the plot, also being my own birthday.

I saw Hardware around the same time but I don't think I ever knew it was the same people. Makes sense now I think about it.

I remember hardware had various rock stars in cameo roles, Lemmy, the bloke from fields of the nephilim... and I thnik Iggy Pop was in it as well

Sneakers.

Little remembered, fantastic story and a cast like an Oscars night.

Favourite line? Repeatedly... "My voice is my passport. Verify me."

Best moment? Deliberating how to best to get through a keypad protected door.

Once Were Warriors - A rather brutal NZ film about a Māori family. Had one of the guys from Shortland Street in it if you remember that from TV in the '90s

Eat The Rich. Many from the old Comic strip were on it.

I think that's pretty well known and highly regarded.

Yesterday I watched 'The Greasy Strangler'. Absurd, purile, just plain mental really. It's a bit Vic and Bob, crossed with Troma. I loved it, but it won't be to everyone's taste.

Wadjda

A very long way from most of the films mentioned.

It's a simple but charming tale that at the same time made me angry.
The wholesale subjugation of women and their complicity in this abuse is minutely challenged by Wadjda.
A drop in the ocean struggle for greater freedom and respect for girls and women.

This film will only appeal to a minority.

My friends are obviously a bunch of philistines then as none of them have ever heard of it when I mention it. It may be time for new friends...
