Volver
It's appropriate that the title of this Pedro Almodóvar film translates as "to come back" since it signals a return to form for the famously female-centric director.

Letters from Iwo Jima / Flags of our Fathers /
A rare tie, but a well-deserved one for Clint Eastwood's epic meditation on war from both sides of the battle lines.

The Queen
Helen Mirren's flawless performance in the title role is the crowning glory of director Stephen Frears' piercing portrayal of the British monarchy in the wake of Princess Diana's death.

Little Miss Sunshine
A family is off in search of a beauty contest victory for their youngest member and it's a trip you don't want to miss.

Pan's Labyrinth
Beautiful but relentlessly grim fairytale about a young girl who finds refuge in a world of mythical creatures at the end of the Spanish Civil War.
