The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) - Anthony Minghella

I had no idea of the homosexual undertones of this film, which was probably the correct way to market it: make the message more poignant, so that people with right wing views would still go to see the movie and be a little cultured, rather than not going at all, purely for a homosexual protagonist.
Jude Law is still annoying, and very similar to the way he portrays his character in Wilde (1997) - Brian Gilbert.
I do, however, like watching films where I have no idea what's going to happen, as it makes certain moments (no spoilers) very surprising.
