I'm counting "One For The Road" as a movie because it's more than two hours long.

* "A Casualty Of War" (1989) [YouTube]: Clunky opening. Weapons-smuggling malarkey. Pleasing ambiguities.
* "Apollo 13 - Survival" (2024) [Netflix]: Superbly edited, TENSE doco transcends rescue subject.
* "Cast A Deadly Spell" (1991) [Foxtel]: Detective Lovecraft in magical '40s seeks Necronomicon!
* "I.S.S." (2023) [Foxtel]: Conflict on Earth causes chaos for astro-/cosmo-nauts. BUT: None of these personality types'd be there.
* "Lee & Grant" (2011) [Kanopy]: Feature-length documentary fairly compares famous generals.
* "Longlegs" (2024) [Free rental]: Bonkers-brainy, deeply creepy FBI - psychic? - sleuthing.
* "Sleeping Dogs" (2024) [Free rental]: Crowe terrific in patchy murder-reinvestigation puzzle.
* "The Grand Tour - One For The Road" (2024) [Prime]: Chemistry, car-nage, customisations, nostalgically calling it quits.
* "The Passenger" (2023) [Foxtel]: Bizarrely believable psycho hostage yarn. Effective shocks.
* "There's Something In The Barn" (2023) [Foxtel]: More silly than scary, but escalates madly.

<<< Pick of the bunch is "The Passenger". >>>
