Goodbye Bafana (2007)
South African film based on the memoirs of Nelson Mandela's prison guard on Robben Island. James Gregory (Joseph Feinnes) is an Afrikaans prison guard with the customary (at that time) distaste for blacks, especially political blacks. When he's assigned to the detail guarding Mandela (Dennis Haysbert), he's less than enamoured. Gregory speaks Xhosa due to a farm upbringing and a young black friend of his - the titular Bafana. From this small common bond of language, the two gradually come to an understanding due in no small part to the enigmatic Mandela's quiet, stoic belief that he is right - that Apartheid can never and should never work.

2 Days in Paris
2 Jours - 2 Days follows two days in the relationship of a New York based couple; a French photographer Marion and American interior designer Jack-as they attempt to re-infuse their relationship with romance by taking a vacation in Europe. Their trip to Venice didn't really work out,--they both came down with gastroenteritis. They have higher hopes for Paris. But the combination of Marion's overbearing non-English speaking parents', flirtatious ex-boyfriends', and Jack's obsession with photographing every famous Parisian tombstone and conviction that French condoms are too small, only adds fuel to the fire. Will they be able to salvage their relationship? Will they ever have sex again? Or will they merely manage to perfect the art of arguing?
