"Four Lions" (2010), Christopher Morris

Sadly always current, this blackest of comedies showcases the most powerful weapon of terrorism: stupidity. Morris thoroughly researched the lives of second and third generation Muslims in the UK, aggrieved low class men (and women) completely integrated into society while re-creating a foreign identity.  The most interesting point made in the film is that the most religious Muslim is the one that warns about the dangers of extremism, while the secular and westernized characters are the responsible of terrorist role-playing and finally violence.  Highly recommended.
