Four Lions
2010 · TMDB 7.0
Directed by Chris Morris
Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce.
Why it matters

Who Is Really Performing Here?
Position 4 of 8
Chris Morris's study of a hapless Sheffield terror cell finds genuine pathos in men who are terrible at everything except conviction. The final act's shift from farce to grief is one of the most daring tonal moves in British comedy.
