The Social Network
Genre/theme : Biography, drama
Directed by David Fincher, this film is also known for its amazing soundtrack (by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross), perfect dialogues and amazing cinematography ; and I'm not even talking about the 100% realistic hacking scene at the beginning (pretty rare in films), which is one of my favourite one (as well as many others).
Original language : English
Country of origin : 🇺🇸 United States
Year of release : 2010
United 93
Genre/theme : Recent history, reconstitution, aviation
What is it about ? The hijack of United Airlines flight 93, one of the four jetliners hijacked on the morning of the 11 September 2001 ; but also as well the complete chaos that happened in the US sky this morning.
The film is a reconstitution of the event (for the known parts), and tells the most plausible scenario for the unknown parts. Some people, like Ben Sliney, are also playing their own roles ; and the film has been made with the families of the victims.

Country of origin : 🇩🇪 Germany

Les Profs
A controversial one for French people, but I loved the comic it was based on so I have legitimity to judge it xD
Genre/theme : Comedy, adaptation of a comic, absurd humour.
What is it about ? A small French high school has a catastrophic rate of students passing their exams (only 12%), despite all the efforts made by the school, the academy's inspection and even the government ; which led to recruiting the best teachers in the country.
The latter having failed, they now hire the WORST teachers ever as a last hope ("the worst teachers for the worst students") to have a passing rate of at least 50% for the final exams.
This, of course, will lead to absurd and disastrous situations.
Original language : French
Country of origin : 🇫🇷 France
Year of release : 2013
English name : Serial Teachers
War of the Worlds (Steven Spielberg version)
I know a lot of people don't like this movie for some reasons
Genre/theme : Science fiction, alien invasion, dark, loss of hope
The film, just like the original novel, indeed does a comparison with colonialism and imperialism ; and some other stuffs (like warmongering without fully understanding everything about your own goal, which is what the aliens are trying to do here).
Believe it or not, a lot of stuffs in this film are actually realistic. The behaviour of the characters, the alien completely fucking up their plan, and there's even a quite realistic depiction of an EMP at the beginning (pretty rare for Hollywood).
Also, the dark cinematography of this film is breathtaking.
Original language : English
Country of origin : 🇺🇸 United States
Year of release : 2005
*which I've seen, but don't remember much of it
Literally any movie staring Louis de Funès
Or at least a lot of them. A legendary French funny actor.
