RAVE - Four Lions

The funniest film ever about jihadists in the UK. 

I know there's not much competition for the prize, but that doesn't take anything away from this dangerously funny look at wannabe martyrs in England.

It doesn't just make you feel awkward about laughing at people planning to murder the innocent - "Let's bomb Boots (the UK's equivalent of Walgreens); they sell condoms that make you want to bang white girls!", but also makes you feel awkward about feeling sad when they accidentally blow themselves up. 

Clumsily put, I know, but don't let that put you off. It'll be hard enough to get hold of a copy of this, and when you do, it'll be even harder following the plot - the broad north-east English accents and obscure colloquialisms will make the dialog hard for most people to follow.

But persevere. It's definitely worth it.
