Etre Et Avoir [DVD] [2002]
5.  Etre Et Avoir [DVD] [2002]

  "One of the best documentaries around. On paper it is nothing more than a study of a rural French primary school; on screen it is that plus so much more."
£19.99   Used & New from: £3.86
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (62 customer reviews)

7.  Kirikou And The Sorceress [2002] [DVD] DVD ~ Doudou Gueye Thiaw

My Neighbours The Yamadas [DVD]
10.  My Neighbours The Yamadas [DVD]

3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Flåklypa Grand Prix [VHS]
11.  Flåklypa Grand Prix [VHS] VHS Wenche Foss

Kolya [DVD]
15.  Kolya [DVD] DVD ~ Ondrej Vetchy

16.  Ponette [DVD] [1998] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Victoire Thivisol

Grave of the Fireflies [DVD]
18.  Grave of the Fireflies [DVD] DVD ~ Tsutomu Tatsumi
The list author says:
  "Never before has a cartoon got me near tears. Rated a 12 for its wartime setting, this may be a bit too hard for kids to handle, but it's still an incredible watch."

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (114 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Tony Takitani [DVD]
19.  Tony Takitani [DVD] DVD ~ Issey Ogata
The list author says:
  "If you've ever read a Haruki Murakami story, you'll no doubt have your own images in your head. But this film approaches perfection with its adaptation of a Murakami short story."
