I highly recommend "An Honest Dealer." Just caught this on the movie network recently, and have to say it's a top notch psychological thriller. Really fantastic from start to finish. Originally released in 2002.
Anybody else find any hidden gems recently?

"Wonderland" with Val Kilmer as 70s pornstar John Holmes, who was allegedly involved in the murders of four people on Wonderland Ave. in L.A. in 1981. The story is told from three different perspectives and leaves it up to the viewer to decide for themselves which is the correct version of the events. I thought it was great.

"The Corporation"...non fiction, a documentary, but every bit as good as any Michael Moore flick. It's about corporate business practices today, ties it all in with terrorism, and goes through all the traits and behaviours corporations have, saying that if you transferred those traits onto a human being, they would be deemed criminally insane, a danger to society. It's absolutely fascinating!

Good calls gentlemen.
The Kilmer flick is a Kirosawa style multi-narrative gold mine, I really liked it.
And what hasn't been said about The Corporation... certainly makes you think, and laugh, a great piece of work.

Speaking of documentaries, I recently saw "Control Room" which focuses on the MASSIVE differences between Al Jazeera's coverage of the recent war and the American media's coverage. It's one of the most fascinating films I've seen in a long time. Definitely a must-see.

Is Corporation & Control Room avialable on DVD?
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!
