Slumdog Millionaire 
Growing up in the impoverished slums of Mumbai, orphan Jamal Malik has been selected to appear on the Indian version of popular TV quiz show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? When the show takes an unexpected twist and Malik is arrested by police on suspicion of fraud, can he prove his innocence by recounting his earlier life experiences of poverty, gangs and desperation? This beautifully shot masterpiece has a real duality to it, being both thought provoking and fun, shockingly dark yet filled with hope, and is just as heartbreaking as it is humorous. From the director of 28 Days Later, The Beach and Trainspotting, Danny Boyle effortlessly weaves this tale of one man's struggle to better himself, as a metaphor for the current state of modern India, and in turn creates a wonderfully rich, affecting and vibrant must-see movie.
