When millions of Indians had stood with the British on the battlefields of Europe, in the British fight against the Germans. There are a number of good, solid performances here. Hugh Bonneville plays Lord Mountbatten without fault. Michael Gambon plays General Ismay, an archetypal, political pragmatist. A special mention needs to go to Gillian Anderson. Her performance as Lady Mountbatten is wonderful.

Meat Loaf and Gillian Anderson are a trip to watch. Gandolfini was also as strong an asset as anyone else.
3. Sister (2012)
This movie is surely more than worth to be seen. In the movie “A boy helps he and his sister survive by stealing from rich folks at a posh ski resort in the Swiss Alps.

There has never been a film to pay such close attention to details. The characters are some of the the most well rounded in all film. Ashitaka especially, the main character of the film, is very nuanced, one of the great characters in film, up there with Charles Foster Kane and Jake LaMotta.
1. The Last King of Scotland (2006)
‘The Last King of Scotland’ is a brilliant dramatic depiction of the life of megalomaniac Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin, perfectly portrayed by Forest Whitaker in his Oscar-winning performance as one of the greatest casting against type roles seen in film. Macdonal has shown his direction skills with this fictionalised drama, a truly stunning flick that remains as a highlight of film.
