Shallow Grave and The Gods Must Be Crazy are really great films, but The Lives of Others is astonishing. If you’ve already seen it then Goodbye Lenin is also fantastic.
The second Infernal Affairs is arguably even better, and if you’ve enjoyed those then Election is a brilliant film.
For anyone who’s seen La Haine I cannot recommend A Prophet enough.
She doesn’t match the description from the book, but Jennifer Lopez is so good in Out of Sight it doesn’t matter.
John Travolta in Get Shorty also deserves a mention because he’s superb.
