Millions (2005)

Fable. A bag of stolen cash lands next to a grieving nine-year-old by the train tracks, and he and his 12-year-old brother have days to spend it before Britain's fictional switch to the euro makes it worthless. Danny Boyle turns the deadline into a sweet, funny argument between two kinds of spending: Anthony wants property and bodyguards, Damian wants to give it to people in need. Frank Cottrell Boyce's script keeps the crooks who want their money back as a real threat without losing the child's-eye wonder. The best family pick here, and a rare windfall story where generosity is the hard part.
