Slumdog Millionaire
I think between Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, I’ve definitely become a Danny Boyle fan. I think the genius of this film is the juxtaposition of something as inane and shallow as a game show with the harsh reality of a life growing up in the slums. The pacing and switchovers between the two are really well executed and you wonder for much of the film how the main character went from one to the other. [imdb link]
