Democracy is a myth
Felicia's Journey 7.5/10

Movie plot as per IMDB,
A lonely middle-aged catering manager spends all of his time studying tapes of an eccentric TV chef. Meanwhile, a young woman is making her way from Ireland to find her boy friend, who moved to England to get a job in a lawn-mower factory. On arrival, she makes an early contact with the caterer, who recommends a boarding room to her. Slowly, it is revealed that the caterer has in fact befriended and subsequently abused more than a dozen young women. He, of course, now sets his site on this woman.

Reading this far you have already assumed that this is another serial killer movie but that is where the similarity ends and that is exactly where the movie starts.
Its a drama rather a thriller. Throughout the movie it keeps a undertone of suspense.
Pace is slow, so if you are not used to watching dramas, you might not like it, but if you are looking for a good movie with a different plot and strong acting. This is it.

Just watched Dirty Dozen!! Another very good war movie though war scenes are only at the last half an hour or so.

1)12 Angry Men(1957)-10/10 IMDB
The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case of murder soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. Based on the play, all of the action takes place on the stage of the jury room.

2)Bicycle Thieves(1948) 9.5/10
A poor young father in postwar-ravaged Rome who finally finds work putting up Rita Hayworth posters around town, only to have his precious bicycle stolen the first day on the job. In a light moment as the father and his young son chase after the thief, the boy attempts to relieve himself against a wall, and his father lets him know they don't have time for that. In another scene, the father tracks the thief into the kitchen of a brothel.

^^12 Angry Men is one of the classics & a gem from Hollywood. For me it is one of the best directorial efforts from Hollywood and it should be spoken in the same breath as Citizen Kane,Casablanca,Hitchcock & Copolla's greatest!!

Zathura or Jumanji

Jumanji?
Zathura?


The only thing with a cube and unleashment of pure hell, is HellRaiser.

Guys I'm sorry for the late reply. I was asking about a movie which I watched and unable to remember. It's basically a horror movie. There are brother, sister and step mother.
The only answer which I think is near looks like hell raiser.

Also Zathura released later than 2000 so that doesn't qualify and Jumanji is not exactly a horror movie.
