Period gothic drama on superstition v science
A very good modern period gothic drama about how a town can convince itself about a mythical beast while confronting contemporary science.

In the centre of the entire story is a beautiful but complex relationship between a woman of science and a priest who on most occasions disagree with one another but learn to come to terms with each other's viewpoints. And in between their relationship is a withering wife and her autistic son. A multilayered novel rich with substance.

A good period crime drama as Tom Hanks plays a hitman with a difficult choice to make. Quite a long, slow film with not a lot of action but great stoytelling. It's very well made.

A strange sort of erotic/period drama rather than a comedy I felt. A young conservative couple go on a trip to Austrailia. Where the people around them and enviroment lead them to be less sexually repressed. Most well known for Elle Macpherson's role.
