Five of the Best...Films
1. Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll
Andy "Gollum" Serkis is astonishing as the late polio-afflicted punk Ian Dury

Lee Daniels’s astonishing film, beautifully acted by Gabourney Sidibe
3. A Prophet
A stone-cold masterpiece from French director Jacques Audiard about an Arab convict in with the Corsican mafia

Well-scripted comedy of adolescent longing
