2 The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel An award-winning, all-star cast led by Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Tom Wilkinson, lights up this “buoyant comedy laced with genuine emotion”.  When seven cash-strapped seniors decide to “outsource” their retirement to a resort in far-off India, friendship and romance blossom in the most unexpected ways.  Smart, life-affirming and genuinely charming, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a “true classic that reminds us that it’s never too late to find love and a fresh beginning at any age.

3 Quadrophenia The Who’s classic rock opera Quadrophenia was the basis for this invigorating coming-of-age movie and depiction of the defiant, drug-fueled mod subculture of early 1960s London.  Our antihero is Jimmy (Phil Daniels), a teenager dissatisfied with family, work, and love.  He spends his time knocking around with his clothes-obsessed, pill-popping, scooter-driving fellow mods, a group whose antipathy for the motorcycle-riding rockers leads to a climactic riot in Brighton.  Director Franc Roddam’s rough-edged film is a quintessential chronicle of youthful rebellion and turmoil, with Pete Townshend’s brilliant songs providing emotional support, and featuring Sting and Ray Winstone in early roles.

5 Beyond the Black Rainbow Deep within the mysterious Arboria Institute, a beautiful girl is held captive by a twisted scientist, her mind controlled by a sinister technology.  To escape, she must journey through the darkest reaches of the Institute and avoid the watchful eye of Dr. Nyle, who won’t easily part with his most gifted and dangerous creation

6 The Devil, Probably $32.99
7 Best in Show $59.99
8 Hammer House of Horror Each generation creates tales of horror…stories that seep through the very heart of our collective fears.  The legendary Hammer Studios is recognized as the high watermark of the gothic macabre, creating some of the most chilling and recognizable horror films of all time.

In 1980, Hammer took over the old Hampden Manor House in the heartland of England and produced a series of thirteen horror stories that aired on British television.  With a host of Hammer regulars, including Peter Cushing and Denholm Elliott, along with early appearances by actors like Pierce Brosnan, each episode provided a completely new and individual tale of terror and suspense.

$49.99

9 Le Havre In this warmhearted comic yarn from Aki Kaurismaki, fate throws the young African refugee Idrissa into the path of Marcel Marx, a kindly old bohemian who shines shoes for a living in the French harbor city Le Havre.  With inborn optimism and the support of his tight-knit community, Marcel stands up to the officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation.  A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the classic French cinema of the past, “Le Havre” is a charming, deadpan delight and one of the Finnish director’s finest films.

$29.99

10 I, Claudius Rated one of the “100 Best Tv Shows of All Time” by Time Magazine, this epic BBC series spans the history of the Roman Empire from Augustus through Claudius, a stuttering scholar who learns early to play the fool and stay alive.  Based on the novels by Robert Graves, it stars Derek Jacobi in a career-defining role.  Sian Phillips is “exquisitely wicked” as the lethal Livia, wife to Augustus, while John Hurt is “decadence personified” as the depraved Caligula, whose reign of terror paves the way for Claudius’s ascension.
