We'll begin with a film guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye. Set in Northern England during the contentious coal strike of 1984, the film's story is a familiar one, but screenwriter Lee Hall infuses it with a sense of style and grace that sets it apart. And British stage director Stephen Daldry presents it with a simple visual elegance and just the right amount of wit. Young Jamie Bell makes an impressive film debut as the title character, a boy who stumbles into a ballet class and finds his first true love, dance. Whether he's tugging at your heart by reciting a letter Billy's late mother wrote to him before her untimely death or dancing his heart out to prove himself to his father, Bell has a charm and appeal that is undeniable.
