The Iron Giant (1999)
A young boy befriends a giant robot from outer space that a paranoid government agent wants to destroy.
Wonderfully
crafted animation feature creates a nostalgic as well as ironic view of
50s Cold War hysteria and presents a quite contemporary pacifist
message.
Halliwell***: "Set at a time of Cold War and nuclear paranoia and the
beginnings of space exploration, this is an engaging, well-animated
fable of pacifism and self-realisation that should find a ready audience
among adults as well as children."
Maltin***: "Striking and original animated feature gently pokes fun at
1950s paranoia (and sci-fi movies)...That writer-director Bird and his
animators can bring such feeling to a metallic character is just one of
this film's triumphs."

Thelma (2017)
A confused religious girl tries to deny her feelings for a female friend who's in love with her. This causes her suppressed subconsciously-controlled psychokinetic powers to reemerge with devastating results.
Intense and atmospheric supernatural thriller is more psychological drama than horror with some good disturbing scenes and a great lead performance by Eili Harboe.
Charlotte et Véronique, ou Tous les garçons s'appellent Patrick (1959)
Two French college girls each meet a boy named Patrick and quickly realize that it is less a coincidence then they think.
A nicely executed tale (written by Rohmer) convinces with its light touch and witty dialogues.

Emerald Cities (1983)
A young woman leaves her boozy father behind to seek her fortune in San Francisco.
Madcap off-kilter independent black comedy genuinely encapsulates the absurdist apocalyptic sense of its time - plus the music.

Hot Thrills and Warm Chills (1967)
Three women who haven't seen each other for years meet at a motel to
talk about what they've done since they were together, and also to plan a
heist of the King of Sex's crown during the upcoming Mardi Gras
carnival.
Hilariously inadequate and very cheaply made sexploitation with barely a plot and no talent to be found here - except for Perez Prado's contribution to the soundtrack.
