City of God (2002).

Just rewatched one of the greatest non-english film ever. A story about two kids growing up in slums of Rio, Brazil. Their paths diverge as one struggles become a successful photographer and other a drug Kingpin. Outstanding story by Paulo Lins. And wonderful screenplay and direction with matching soundtrack. Full of thrill, drama, gunfight and emotion. Amazing performance by Alexandre Rodriguez, Leandro Firmino, Phellipe Haagensen, Douglas Silva, Jonathan Haagensen, Seu Jorge, Alice Braga etc. One of my all-time favorites.

Das Leben der Anderen [The Lives of Others] (2006).

Just rewatched one of the better films of 2000s. An amazing story about In 1984 East Berlin, an agent of GDR's Stasi (secret police), conducting a surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself increasingly absorbed by their lives. A Beautiful story full of suspence and emotion. Wonderful acting performance by Ulrich Mühe, Martina Gedeck, Sebastian Koch, Ulrich Tukur, Thomas Thieme, Hans-Uwe Bauer, Volkmar Kleinert. Also great performance by Matthias Brenner, Charly Hübner, Marie Gruber etc. Fantastic story, screenplay and direction by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.

Downton Abbey (2010-15).

Just watched one of the sweetest show I've ever seen. An amazing story about the chronicles of the lives of British aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in Downton Abbey of Grantham, Yorkshire, England, UK, in 1920s. A beautiful show with many tragadies and a sweet and wholesome ending.

Last Night in Soho (2021).

 A refreshing new addition to horror genre this film was both breathtaking and dazzling at the same time. A unique film with the touch of life in 60s London. Amazing performance by Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith and Diana Rigg. Last performance of the evergreen Diana Rigg before her sad demise and she certainly did great. Beautiful story with somewhat mediocre narration but cinematography and acting performance was top notch. A must watch.
