These are some movies I watched and would recommend to everyone:

FANTASTIC ( meaning: has lots of value in it and very uplifting effect, not just feelgood):

21 Grams( do not miss this movie..the message is so strong)
Forrest Gump
The Man From earth (low budget movie..but very high calibre..content.)
Before Sunrise
Before Sunset

Cast Away
The Sweet Hereafter ( asks difficult questions!! bittersweet ending )
Batman: Dark knight ( believe me..content is MATURE).
Iron Man
Contact
Saving Private Ryan ( the first 30 minutes are RIVETTING..it is a war movie which conveys the madness:war like driving nail in ones head)
Munich(WOW! just WOW!!!..very thought provoking)
A Beautiful Mind
Minority Report
The lives of others( a german movie..available with subtitles)
Into the Wild

'Feelgood' movies:

A lot like Love
Elizabethtown


PM me or just raise a request here, if anyone wants to get any of these movies from net (downloading) I can find ftp, http sites from which you can download these and watch in your PC.

update:
I used to read complete review(s) of the movies and watch them. I found this to be biasing me and I started 'getting' movie from that reviewer's perspective and missed 'AA- Haaa' moments which would be got when watching without pre-conditioning..so a recommendation would be to watch movies without reading reviews.( just know whether it would be worth watching from 2, 3 sources >> watch it.
