I mentioned this in the Oscar Nomination thread...but "Water" by Dheepa Mehta is absolutely excellent.
It is set in India, in the years before Gandhi was assassinated. It tells the story of a newly widowed girl and her new status (or complete lack) in society and the older friends she makes in a widows' commune. If you watch it and think "no, things couldn't have been that bad", you'd be (sadly) wrong.
It's not a movie to watch without a box of tissues handy.

Really late, but I am thirding this. Just saw it.
Did anyone else see the penis near the end?

As far as TV shows go, Being Human looks like it good be a very good show indeed. The first episode was excellent.
Uber Ritter:
Can I join the "The Wire" bandwagon? This show is amazing. All the praise it gets is not hype (including, perhaps, the greatest American TV drama ever).
No on told me that it was funny, though. I mean, sure, it's bleak and dark and unsentimental and stuff, but it can also be -fucking hilarious- on occasion. Not in a 'we need a joke here' sitcom kinda way, but kinda like, you know, life.
Inlander:
That reminds me, I've got to retrieve the Wire thread from the depths . . .
