   45) Green Book (2018)

   True, it’s a white man’s education about racism; but it’s also a witty buddy movie, of two men who are different in many ways coming to a joint understanding of their common humanity, and each humanising the other.

     46) Slumdog Millionaire (2007)

     I did not like the torture scenes. But the interrogation of poverty and social division is a crucial driver of the narrative. Dev Patel is great. It looks fantastic and colourful. And the music is good.
