(2007 Lenny Abrahamson) 50:-
Regarded by his neighbours as a harmless misfit, Josie has spent all his adult life as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station on the outskirts of a small town in the mid-west of Ireland. He is limited, lonely, yet relentlessly optimistic and, in his own peculiar way, happy.
"Garage" is the story of Josie's hapless search for intimacy over the course of a summer, which sees his life changed forever. A landmark in Irish cinema, "Garage" is a beautifully portrayed cinematic drama interspersed with razor sharp shards of black humour, with acutely observed characters that leave a lasting impression.

| Gay Sex in the 70's
|
(2008 Joseph Lovett) 80:-
The end of an era. The beginning of a movement. Hailed by critics and audiences alike, "Gay Sex in the 70's" director Joseph Lovett focuses his story on New York City between 1969 and 1981, using remarkable present-day interviews and stunning archival footage to take viewers back to days just after Stonewall.
Lovett takes us back to the piers, the trucks, the Central Park rambles, the back rooms, and the baths. It was a time where repression and fear were replaced by a sexual explosion, where shame became joy. In recreating the gay story of the 70s, Lovett shows that AIDS was not the only legacy of this period.

(2001 Robert Altman]
It is November 1932. Gosford Park is the magnificent country estate to which Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and his wife, Lady Sylvia (Kristin Scott Thomas), gather relations and friends for a weekend shooting party. They have invited an eclectic group.
As the guests assemble in the gilded drawing rooms above their personal maids and valets swell the ranks of the house servants in the teeming kitchens and corridors below-stairs. But all is not as it seems: neither amongst the bejeweled guests lunching and dining at their enormous leisure, nor in the attic bedrooms and stark work stations where the servants labour for the comfort of their employers. Part comedy of manners and part mystery, the film is finally a moving portrait of events that bridge generations, class, sex, tragic personal history - and culminate in a murder. Or is it two murders…?

"Grizzly Man" is Herzog's breathtaking feature documentary which combines his own work with original footage by Timothy Treadwell, the intrepid bear expert who for thirteen summers risked his life living with Grizzly Bears in Alaska, until eventually he got killed by one of the bears he sought to protect.
Whilst Treadwell perhaps paid the inevitable price for his work, the one hundred hours of footage he shot over this period is among the most incredible, stunning and moving ever committed to film. Grizzly Man is a modern day masterpiece which uncovers as much about human nature as it does the bears Treadwell set out to study.
