Serenity
PG-13
Pure poetry. Beautiful, political, funny, smart. MUST watch Firefly first. Otherwise the revelation has little impact.
My Beautiful Laundrette
R
A study in the interplay between class, race and nation. Beautifully written film (it should've gotten the Oscar, screw 'Hannah and Her Sisters'). This is one of the only films Daniel Day-Lewis has been in that was set in the present and not based on a book (so, we see him with really bad 80s hairs and clothes dancing to bad 80s music - I can see why he does adapted period pieces...)
