Cruel Intentions (1999)
Great entertainment
The average rating of this movie (currently only 6.5) indicates that this and popular.is nothing but average. Completely wrong... while it might not be art at it's best, it's a contemporary classic and great entertainment. There are pretty good actors, and a well adopted story.
I'd give it a 8-9 out of 10, very nice movie, especially for younger audience (10-30?). Get some popcorn... it's easy to watch, but not one of the typical dumb hollywood mainstream. Soundtrack is also quite nice.
Nordrand (1999)
Film about the very real life
I have not seen this movie in detail yet, so I cannot give a real review. This film (roughly) is about daily life in a lower social class, and it turns out to be pretty realistic. There's no instance that matches things against the good/bad/happy_end "Hollywood scheme".
See this film, but make sure you are not in a bad (depressed/unstable) mood. By the way, there is much utilization of repeating music. You probably will connect at least one popular (European) song of the 90s to this film after seeing it.
