Why watch this film?
A hard-hitting yet darkly humorous account of mid-1990s Scotland's disaffected youth. Directed by Danny Boyle (who would later go on to win an Oscar with 'Slumdog Millionaire'), the film marked a turning point for tackling lost youth in a memorable way.

T2: Trainspotting
After 20 years since the first 'Trainspotting', we return to this universe and meet the same characters again. And if back then we had a realistic story about the youth of Edinburgh, today we have a true character study with people trying to reconcile with their tumultuous past and friends that were left behind. A perfect ending for those stories.

Steve Jobs
Directed by Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting") and written by Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network"), "Steve Jobs" is a satisfying biopic of the controversial mogul and Apple founder. Structured in three parts corresponding to three major brand launches, the movie further explores Jobs' personal life, sacrificed for his work. Winner of two Oscars: Best Actor for Michael Fassbender and Best Supporting Actress for Kate Winslet.

Slumdog Millionaire
"Slumdog Millionaire" swept the Oscars, winning awards in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Original Score, Best Original Song and Best Sound Mixing. And it's no wonder. Directed by Danny Boyle (of the classic "Trainspotting: No Limits"), this movie brings the excitement of a quiz show to the big screen with an emotional punch. After all, more than just showing the program and its backstage, the film is clever in diving into the life of an ordinary Indian boy played by Dev Patel ("Lion"). There is a formula used here that tries to emotionally move the audience at any cost and this can bother some people. However, if you embark on Boyle's proposal and identify with Jamal Malik's story in any way, you will find a delicate, light and exciting film. After all, more than telling the story of any participant in a "Millionaire Show" style program, the feature film talks about people. And here, in this case, a person who is hard not to sympathize with, cheer for and be enchanted by.

Yesterday
What if you woke up one day in a world where there was no Coca-Cola or the Beatles? Besides having to resort to Pepsi, you would be seen as a music genius when you hummed the beautiful and now unknown songs of the Fab Four. That is the crazy premise of 'Yesterday', a beautiful movie by director Danny Boyle ('Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?') starring Himesh Patel and Lily James ('Cinderella', 'Baby Driver'). Set to songs like "Let It Be", "She Loves You", "Hey Jude", "Something" and, of course, "Yesterday", the feature film was made just right to make us feel good, the famous "feel good movie". Although it does not innovate or deliver anything surprising, it fulfills its main function: to improve our day.
