Seriously a tough one. Dirty Pretty Things is gritty, tragic and real. The fantasy of Slumdog Millionaire makes the latter description not apply, which is why I may need to choose Slumdog over Pretty Things.

Dirty Pretty Things is an interesting experiment, applying the thriller/detective genre to the immigrant underclass/underworld - but Slumdog Millionaire aims even bigger, and despite a few tonal misteps - is (slightly) better. Slumdog.
