Once Upon a Time in the West
A magnum opus from Sergio Leone, the most operatic of Westerns, with a magnificent, soaring score to match its scale and set the tempo by Ennio Morricone, music that speaks of yearning, loss, and perseverance.
The Incredibles
Pixar's first (super) human story is a wry satire about a very ordinary family of super heroes who find themselves caught up in big trouble. Rated: G

The Great Silence
A mute gunfighter, Silenzio (Jean Louis Trintignant) circles the vicious bounty hunter Loco (Klaus Kinski) in the snowy mountains of Utah, in this, one of the greatest westerns ever made. Morricone's music caps an under-seen but unforgettable classic.
Ratatouille
A rat with a palette, Remy dreams of cooking at a top gourmet restaurant. Human prejudice makes this challenging, but talent will find a way. Rated: G

WALL-E
Set 700 years from now (though we may get there sooner), the film imagines Earth as a toxic dump, while humankind cruises outer space in luxurious limbo. Trash robot WALL-E falls in love with a shiny new research drone, Eve. Rated: G

Misericordia
Edgy, eccentric, and unapologetically queer, this film goes from drama to comedy without putting a foot wrong. Sex and murder are the subjects, and writer-director Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake) mines them for suspense and outrageous laughs.
The Stand
This rousing doc explores a 1985 dispute over logging in the Haida Gwaii. Taking us from canny retrospective commentary to the thick of the action, director Chris Auchter employs animation and a wealth of archival footage to riveting effect.
The Way, My Way
All manner of pilgrims flock to France and Spain to walk the 800 km Camino de Santiago. One such is Bill, a stroppy sexagenarian Australian filmmaker who's determined to do the Camino with minimal prep, a dickey leg, and no firm idea why.
Toy Story
In the first computer generated animation feature film, space ranger Buzz Lightyear discovers he’s not an intergalactic ambassador, just a children’s plaything (but there’s nothing wrong with that). Rated: G
