The Life of David Gale (2002)
It’s pretty much a no brainer that any film script strong enough to ensnare Kate Winslet, Kevin Spacey and Laura Linney will turn out to be good (and, for the record, if you loved Spacey before, you’ll be floored by this performance)

Never has a film been more aptly named. From the opening of Pour Elle (Anything for Her), Julien’s every action is governed by his increasing determination to help his wrongly accused wife escape from the justice system which has so dramatically failed them.
The Manali-Leh Highway
Take the nail-biting journey along the world’s second highest road and explore the remote and unique region of Ladakh in Northern India

The Parallax View is the second in Pakula’s ‘paranoia trilogy’ of political thrillers.

The King (2005)
This American Indie is refreshingly different: this is modern Gothic Horror at its finest and most subtle.
