The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006)

When the documentary stays on target and lays off the sentiment, it’s a fascinating look at John Lennon in the 1970s — making love (with Yoko), not war. He also made Nixon’s enemies list and fought the U.S. government’s efforts to have him deported.

Slither (2006)

Inspired by the B horror movies of the 1970s and 80s, director James Gunn deftly mixes comedy with suspense and gore. An alien slug inhabits the body of Michael Rooker, dampening his marriage to Elizabeth Banks and terrorizing their small Southern town.
