The House of the Devil 2009
A fun horror throwback in the vein of Rosemary's Baby and The Amityville Horror. The tension leading up to the big satanic ritual was very Hitchockian. It's fun to find a movie that relies on the suspense instead of the blood and gore.
It's on Netflix watch instant - great to catch for Halloween.

The Art of the Steal 2009
A fascinating look at the attempted relocation of the Barnes art collection from a quaint and intimate spot in the suburbs into the middle of downtown Philadelphia. The film is clearly one-sided in defense of Albert Barnes' will, which was explictely against such a move.
The collection itself is mind-boggling (9,000 pieces valued at $25 billion dollars)... it's almost impossible to fathom that Barnes compiled it himself.
