Technically, this is not a recommendation as I haven't seen the film. Love In A Puff
However, if the scenes are any indication, this looks like a pro-public smoking romantic comedy from Hong Kong. That should make the film of some interest to a few Whitechapel folks. -

@Ian Holloway thanx for providing the info on google video. I watched the first part of Kin Dza Dza and loved it so far. Is it normal for Russian movies to be broken up into 2 parts? Seems like all of Tarkovsky's films are broken up into 2 acts. Was wondering if this was typical, or if it is just something from an earlier era of cinema. -

COCAINE COWBOYS 1
probably one of the best documentaries i saw last year.
Told by the people who did it -first person to camera, not by an over bearing scholar.
It's the criminals, the law enforcement, the politicians, and the reporters
on how the cocaine economy of the late 70s early 80s literally
built the modern Maimi we know now. This makes it distinct from
all those other documentries it shows how a place evolved from
one where all the dealers hung out at clubs together
to the ultra violence basically sparked off by one crazy woman that we know now.
No glossing over either.
The next chapter, Cocaine cowboys 2 is the story of "the black widow",
the woman who started all the ultra violence we associate
with drugs of that era

VIDEOCRACY
If you ever wondered what was under the hood of Italy
and what were the exact conditions that allows a man like
Berlusconi to be president when he wouldn't make it in
any other country.This documentray explains it.
It doesn't really feature him , but the culture and media atmosphere
he has created to give an environment that a guy like him could run
that place. Scary and all true... you just have your jaw open at times
through all this...

Rare Exports(2010)
It has been mentioned here before I think but it's time for a reminder, well I'm sad to say that the long film didn't quite reach the same level of awesomeness that the shorts did but I would recommend it nonetheless.
The Good Heart (2009)
This one can't be that unknown but it has just above 1000votes on IMDb so...
Lemmy (2010)
It's about Lemmy, need I say more? -

@arklight - I really waned to see Videocracy at last year's Melbourne film festival, but somehow missed out. Must track it down.
@Draug - Same for Lemmy. Think it sold out fast.
Now you've got me on a doco kick. From the ones I did see at the festival...
Space Tourists is worth checking out. Follows not only the quest for civilian space flight, but tags along with a salvage crew near Baikonur, who pick up spent rockets and take them apart to sell for scrap.
The Invention of Dr Nakamats - Mad Japanese inventor. Just watch. So awesome.

Very decent Lovecraft inspired horror with Aliester Crowley thrown in for good measure

This was made a year after I was born, but I never knew about it, much less saw it, until the THIS network showed it:
Jack the Giant Killer
It's a wonderfully cheesy kiddie fantasy, with some incredibly cheap-looking Ray Harryhausen-ish stop motion monsters, superimposed animation "magical" effects, and some genuinely freaky demon/witch things.
And, hey, the whole thing is online, via Hulu. -

Anyone else seen Outcast? Irish/Scottish co-production, starring James Nesbitt and featuring, briefly, a pre-Who Karen Gillen. It's urban horror, old Romany magicks infesting a Trainspotting-like Edinburgh council estate.
And, re. the entirely deserved praise for Skeletons - I used to be a pro paranormal investigator. Skeletons is the closest I've ever seen a film get to what that's actually like. I nearly wet myself during the client interview scenes... -
