As every bloke and his granny knows, Sundance London starts tomorrow night with Bobby Bedford bringing his indie festival all the way from Utah to the quiet, intimate venue of The O2.

It's an exciting introduction to a US event that has long eluded British eyes. Introducing us to the best of the American festival's line-up, it's a fusion of film and music, with old Sundance Kid himself leading the way in a string of events that celebrate the relationship between sound and screen. Love Elizabeth Olsen? She's got a film showing. Prefer Placebo? They're playing as well.

But given that tickets are on the pricey side, which events are worth your hard-earned cash? Our coverage of London's hippest new festival will tell you. A film's not worth £7.50, let alone the full £15? We'll warn you in advance - and point you towards this handy two-for-one ticket offer.

But that still leaves you with 14 flicks (and gigs, and some interesting panels debating indie filmmaking) to choose between. If you can only afford to see a couple, which do you pick?

Here are the 6 films you should see at Sundance London:

1. Liberal Arts

Elizabeth Olsen. Elizabeth Olsen. Elizabeth Olsen. Those are three reasons to see How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor's romantic comedy, about a 35 year old (the multi-talented Radnor) who agrees to speak at a dinner at his old university. Need another three? How about: Richard Jenkins, Allison Janney off The West Wing, and... did I mention Elizabeth Olsen?

2. The Queen of Versailles

Maybe it's because I spend my weekdays writing about property overseas or maybe its because we all love laughing at Americans, but this tragic documentary about a US couple attempting to build the biggest house in the country (inspired by Versailles) brings a whole new perspective to the economic and housing collapse. Since its premiere at Sundance in America, the couple have launched lawsuits in response to Lauren Greenfield's portrayal of their "unique brand of humility". This promises to be fascinating stuff.

3. Under African Skies

4. Chasing Ice

5. Safety Not Guaranteed

After all that fact-finding and serious thinking, what you need is a madcap comedy about time travel. Exec-produced by the Duplass brothers, Colin Trevorrow's 85 minute adventure sees three magazine employees investigating a newspaper advert seeking a partner for time travel. Expect cute romance, silly antics and mentally unsound humans.

6. 2 Days in New York

After the brilliant, funny and acerbic 2 Days in Paris, Julie Delpy returns as the unhinged Marion, whose neuroses are only outnumbered by her previous sexual partners. Now living in New York with Chris Rock, is she capable of living happily ever after? And where DOES she buy those glasses?
