    Trust - directed by David Schwimmer and starring Clive Owen, Catherine Keener and a young girl who was excellent but I've never seen her in anything else. Its a psychological thriller but very realistic.

    Netflix UK is terrible - you can't see the films before you sign up and when you do you find that they don't have anything you want. However, I think I found this gem on Netflix:

    The Castle (Funny Australian film - I hadn't heard of it).

    Downloading Nancy- Be warned it is really dark and depressing but I looooved it.
    The Vicious Kind
    Wrecked
    Tuesday, after Christmas- It's a foreign film and its definitely a chick flick. It's about adultery.
    Aftershock- another foreign film. Heartbreaking!

    Sara's Key - Very good movie set in modern day with flashbacks to the Holocaust.

    Flowers of War- starring Christian Bale

    Just watched it a few nights ago and it is very intense. A sad movie, but it brings to light the atrocities of the Japanese occupation of Nanking in 1939. Warning it is disturbing though.

    Christain Bale is amazing as usual in it though.

    Nobel Son....it has Alan Rickman in it(whom I love). It's a really good movie, but sorta messed up.

    V/H/S Horror, found footage...........super effed up and weird.

    Forget Me Not

    Wolf Town

    Sand Sharks

    Like I said before....my definition of a gem is obviously something that isn't necessarily good(except Nobel Son, that is good in my opinion), but I love to laugh at crap horror. :)

    The Gamers: Dorkness Rising

    It's an awesome movie... especially if you are into role playing games.

    On the B-movie side:
    Hobo with a Shotgun
    Thankskilling

    If you liked those, might I suggest "Rare Exports" as well?

    Kill 'Em All was a decent (mostly) mindless kung-fu movie. Kind of a sad ending.

    Will definitely be watching some of these, I've run out of good stuff on netflix... other than my third round through Firefly/Serenity.
