Imagine That
Never thought I'd say this but I cried during this. The scene at the end where Evan Danielson (Eddie Murphy) comes into a hall in a Kings costume. I'm a sucker for concepts where Father neglects their child(ren) and then manages to make up for it in the end. This is a family movie (ie. Kids movie that parents are dragged to). Not sure why it was rated so poorly; 5.3/10 on IMDb and 38% on RT.

OK, I know this isn't a movie, so sue me.
The Shadow Line-Chiwetel Chiafor, Christopher Eccleston, Stephen Rea and lots of semi-recognizable BBC stalwarts.
During an earlier discussion about Game of Thrones, Idol expressed distaste with nihilistic, bleak storytelling...the kind where everybody dies.
The Shadow Line is the exemplar of just such entertainment.
The actors are superb, the plot appropriately convoluted and production values are up to the usual BBC standards (by which I mean, very high).
There is an odd obsession with close up shots of cigarettes being lighted and an excessive amount of gum chewing but I attribute this to British artistic sensibilities that escape my plebian understanding.
The series is only seven hours long and absorbing for the first three or four episodes but becomes increasingly grim and ultimately, predictable.
If every good intention is a death sentence, one is left wondering how the British make it through the moral morass of their days.
It does kind of explain Simon Cowell though.

Good Neighbors- Scott Speedman, Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire.
This is a Canadian film so there's an excellent chance that IdolEyes is in it. I'm guessing he's the hugely important- yet uncredited- "Fire escape #1.
This nasty little noir is tightly centered around an apartment building in Quebec (which, judging by this film, has spectacular apartments for very reasonable rent) and four tenants with odd bonds.
There is a serial rapist/murderer, feuds over cats and a very wry premeditated killing ("I don't know how people do this!").
Not groundbreaking but well acted and plotted.
A pleasant diversion, as it were.
