Notting Hill

The Four Weddings team produced another smash with this charming tale about a bumbling bookshop owner (Hugh Grant) who falls for the "most famous actress in the world" (Julia Roberts). Inevitably, the course of true love is a bumpy road, with friends, family and layabout flatmate Spike (played by Rhys Ifans in a career-making performance) getting in the way, but that's the cue for a series of screamingly funny scenarios. Saturated with wit and well directed by Roger Michell, the film was bashed by sceptics for its fluffiness and lack of realism (for a racially mixed area of London, there's not a black face to be seen). But, if you can accept the context as 100 per cent white middle class, with a light-hearted commentary on the nature of celebrity, it's an intensely enjoyable experience.

True Stories

Grizzly Man

Widely acclaimed by critics and industry peers as one of the best documentaries of 2005, Werner Herzog's film offers a superb study of nature - both human and animal - in all its savage beauty, cruelty and absurdity. Star of the show Timothy Treadwell was a dropout who found redemption living among grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilds for 13 summers, until one of them killed him and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard. Herzog knits together spectacular amateur footage shot by Treadwell with original interview material, to unfold the grizzly man's story. The result provides a salutary lesson in the dangers of over-romanticising wild animals, as well as a fascinating glimpse into a well-intentioned but very troubled soul. Despite its tragic trajectory, the director's wry sense of humour often sparkles through, and Herzog fans won't fail to spot the parallels with the other dreamers and madmen who have populated both his fiction and non-fiction work. A sparse and lovely score by Richard Thompson and some glorious images of bears round out a near-flawless package.

Cross of Iron

Director Sam Peckinpah switches from westerns such as The Wild Bunch to another kind of savagery - Germans in retreat on the Russian Front during the Second World War - and makes this as graphic an antiwar film as anything since All Quiet on the Western Front. In this adaptation of a book by Willi Heinrich, James Coburn plays the disillusioned sergeant, sickened by slaughter and the double dealings of officers such as Maximilian Schell. There's little room for women in Peckinpah's exercise in macho ideals, though an encounter with female guerrillas shows them exacting revenge with dreadful results. This is bloody action, elegantly choreographed to chilling effect.
