The form of "The Straight Story" is simple: an old, frail man who does not give up on his long journey to see his brother again. A simple, but all the more touching road movie.

The Dark Knight 2008
Batman himself only plays a limited role. Focus more on politics. That's an interesting approach and what makes the trilogy what it is. But what else is there to lose in a film about which everything has already been said.
The Dark Knight lives from its numerous moments of suspense, which Nolan really takes to the extreme here. Some is so bitter and hard to swallow. It doesn't happen that often in movies, which I really appreciate.

The Wrestler 2008
The Wrestler is a stirring, well-played drama that seems heavy, but still leaves time for short moments of happiness and hope. Ultimately, we're all just looking for our destiny.

Trainspotting 1996
VERY hard to watch but the themes it tackles are so essential, important and sadly timeless. And the way it handles and executes all of it is very impressive. Trainspotting is brutal, heartbreaking, disturbing and not for the faint of heart. Great job Danny Boyle, great job.
