An Inconvenient Truth
You can't argue with the Nobel committee's good taste.
Who Killed the Electric Car?
More joyously ironic to watch now Toyota has sold it's millionth hybrid, and GM has been forced to rejoin the green wagon.
The Secret
If Oprah's powers of attraction do the same for Obama as they did for this film, we'll see our first black president come 2008 (as long as all the votes are counted this time around).
The Fog of War
The point of history, is that you learn from the mistakes of the past. The problem is you need leaders who paid attention during their history lessons.
Sicko
Skip the first 10 minutes, which are too grim for words, and enjoy the pleasure and pain of the remainder of Moore's ode to national healthcare.
Idiocracy
A smart, frightening, funny, and frighteningly funny look at our coke-swilling, burger-munching, Fox "news" watching, dumbass leader-following future.
The Blue Planet - Seas of Life
When the BBC showed the first episode of this beautifully shot documentary series in the U.K. a nation was converted to the cause of ocean conservation overnight.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Don't Panic. Those looking for the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, need look no further.
Rome - The Complete First Season
All the intrigue of Dynasty but with togas instead of shoulder pads, and more sex (the Romans knew a thing or two about how to do decent sex scenes). A BBC/HBO gem that reminds us that great empires come and go.
Gattaca
The right to privacy is something worth fighting for. Watch it and you'll get the terrifying implications of what's happening now.

For some fantastic music and thougtful words check out "One Giant Leap" ///////// THIS is a beautiful film!
Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman joined forces to create the project 1 Giant Leap, they embarked upon a global journey that included Senegal, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda, India, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, America and Europe, equipped solely with a digital video camera, a laptop and a vision - to capture and weave together a unique fusion of sound, image and spoken word from some of the world's most happening musicians, authors, scientists and thinkers and to explore 'The Unity in the Diversity'.
