The Independent Recommends: The Five Best Films
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.All About My Mother (15)
Almodovar at his quirky, curious best. All About My Mother offers a soaring salute to mums everywhere, not to mention a nostalgic farewell to the good old days of transvestite prostitution.
Rushmore (15)
The high-school comedy peaks with this oddbod masterpiece about a gal (Olivia Williams), a guy (Bill Murray) and the schoolboy (Jason Schwartzman) who gets between them. A genuine one-off.
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (15)
In a nutshell: Kenny gets killed, Cartman gets shock treatment, Hitler befriends Gandhi (and George Burns) and America goes to war with Canada. Oh yeah - and it's funny, too.
Strangers on a Train (PG)
Robert Walker and Farley Granger swap murders for an accelerating fairground- ride thriller (right). Perhaps the most quintessentially Hitchcockian of all Alfred's outings.
Late August, Early September (15)
Tangy Parisian soap-operatics, expanded on with the minimum of fuss by talented writer-director Olivier (Irma Vep) Assayas.
