What film, old or new, would you rate a complete 10/10 that you’d recommend to us lot reading here?
Add the trailer to your post if you can.
I’ll go first, since it’s my game.
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins stars in this awesome courtroom crime thriller. Fantastic atmosphere, great story, brilliant acting and some nice Porsches.
I’ve seen it at least 5 times and always look forward to watching it again. It’s a film I really sink into and totally concentrate on the story.
What’s yours?

s off!
The Guard - only discovered this last year but just found it hilarious given the contrasts it offers up
City of God - watched this as a teenager and haven’t seen it since but just remember it being very eye opening (on a similar vein could have offered up La Haine - also a great film)
Leon - for Gary Oldman’s performance alone but I think it’s a very moving story given the naivety of Jean Reno’s character.
Dead Man’s Shoes - an unexpected representation of the Peak District!

For me, its films that I have found surprising, done in a way I ve never seen before, which transport you to a different place.
Werckmeister Harmonies by Bela Tarr.
Superlong tracking shots, that made you feel you were inhabiting the place of the characters. Use of allegory, that was disturbing and disorientating. Narrative interweaved with time and space, rather than driven primarily by story. It was like a tone poem put to film. Never saw anything like it before.
They shall not grow old by Peter Jackson.
Colourised black and white archive real war footage, blended into a film.
Felt really raw, like you were transported into the lives of the soldiers, as if you stepped into a time machine, or were talking to resurrected ghosts from the past. Even really well done war movies like All Quiet on the Western Front, they lack this rawness as the artistry and storytelling acts as a barrier.
