Winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary, this sometimes funny Michael Moore movie takes an idiosyncratic look at guns and violence in the U.S. The title comes from the 1999 massacre in Colorado at Columbine High School, where the shooters were supposed to be in bowling class.

Good Thief" (2003)

Starring Nick Nolte and written and directed by Neil Jordan, this crime drama is a remake of the French film “Bob le flambeur” (1955). In “The Good Thief,” Bob (Nolte) is a gambler, heroin addict, and retired thief living on the French Riviera. When Bob hits bottom, he teams up with others in a scheme to steal valuable paintings from a casino. This is a caper movie, but Nolte gives a memorable performance as the charismatic Bob.
