FIVE BEST FILMS

Stop-Loss
Ryan Phillippe stars as a decorated Texas squadron leader who goes Awol after a tour in Iraq in this blistering account of what war does to young men.

Persepolis
This animated film, based on Marjane Satrapi's graphic novels, is a revealing child's-eye view of growing up in post-revolutionary Iran.

In Bruges
Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson star as Irish hitmen who have to lay low in Belgium in this comedy-thriller by Martin McDonagh, who has an ear for snappy dialogue.

The Orphanage
This Spanish child-in-peril chiller is an old-fashioned, Hitchcockian ghost story that rescues horror as an emotion for grown-ups.

Happy-Go-Lucky
Mike Leigh's most cheery and funny film in years, with a superbly realised central performance by Sally Hawkins as an adorable and relentlessly sunny, rainbow-clad primary-school teacher.
