And for something completely different, there's BLINDED BY THE LIGHT, a lovely little feel-good film (based on a true story) about a Pakistani kid in Luton, England who becomes the world's biggest Bruce Springsteen fan. I think I've seen this one four times already.

Based on the coming-of-age story of Springsteen super-fan Sarfraz Manzoor (played by breakout star Viveik Kalra), Gurinder Chadha’s big-hearted period dramedy was a massive hit when it premiered at Sundance earlier this year. It’s a crowd-pleasing love letter to The Boss’ music, one steeped in the intrinsic relatability of his hard-luck jams (it’s set in 1987 Britain, a tough time that Kalra’s Javed feels is perfectly encapsulated by Springsteen’s songs about similarly blue collar concerns in America).
