This film is awesome.
An almost tantalising delve into a situation where societal norms and civility are inexorably peeled away.

The closing shot is possibly the most winningest shot ever, and makes the entire film. -
The Cabin in the Woods 2012
I like horror films. My wife doesn't like horror film. I was told this wasn't really a horror film. So I convinced my wife to watch it with me. As it turns out, it actually is a horror film.
I really liked it. It's a fresh take on horror films, and works really well. Has some funny bits, and there are probably a good few things you could read into it, if you wanted to get philosophical.

Punch-Drunk Love 2002
This is my favourite Adam Sandler film. Something completely different, and yet Sandler still comes through.
A stark, bright palette of primary colours - primarily blue - complements the feel of the film very well.
I'd call this a must-watch.
