I just saw the best movie I've seen in a long time that somehow slipped through the cracks.

"Unconditional Love" with Kathy Bates, Dan Ackroyd, Rupert Everett. What a gem! A total keeper! I can't recommend it enough! It's full of surprises!

It's a Wonderful Life - timeless and inspirational!

A Walk to Remember - really moving

Stick It - portrays devotion and hard work

The Nanny Diaries - light spirited, easy to watch, good story

October Sky - inspirational

Off the top of my head...A Walk to Remember was on the other night and geez I wasted an entire box of tissues

And Moulin Rouge always gets me at the end.

I finally got around to watching Mr. Holland's Opus. I don't know what it was that impressed me, but I ended up crying a whole four times.

I agree with you about Forrest Gump. I liked Steel Magnolias a lot.

yoopersmith · 10-28-2009, 05:56 PM

I like Truly Madly Deeply

It's starts so sad, it really hurts...then, you work through the healing process through the movie...

This movie is used as therapy for people who lose loved ones...so don't watch it thinking you would feel a lot of pain to start with, but if you pay pain the bill...the joy at the end in so much deeper...

BlueCrane · 11-22-2009, 10:01 AM

Has anyone seen 'The Opus' yet?

Here is a trailer and it looks promising.

Lohengrin · 12-26-2009, 06:04 PM

I could highley recommend to watch "The Man who Wasen`t There"
Probaly i could write almost a full page explaining what is so significant with the movie. But that would lessen it for me, it is to preciouss. The movie will hit you on a deep level.

If i where to try to sum it up short: For me the movie deals with identity, purpose and the experience of life. All this is executed in a quite diffrent way than other stories are told. Such a beautiful movie.

"The Straight Story" By David Lynch is also a movie that is incredibly feel good and highly originale. I is about family, invidualismen, weirdness and humanism.

I really enjoyed Avatar (2009)

Nadine47 · 01-06-2010, 11:34 PM

The Matchmaker(1958) -Black and white, the characters talk to the audience, Anthony Perkins, the music, the characters, just everything about it-

Wall·E(2008) -cute, love the references to sci-fi classics, the whole mood of the film-

Hello, Dolly!(1968) -I love the songs and the adventure-seeking mood of the characters-

2001: A Space Odyssey(1968) -So well done, it makes me feel good just to think about it-

Psycho(1960) -Norman Bates is so cute! The shower scene is disturbing, but the rest of the film makes me feel good-

I'm going to watch some of the suggested films here. Amelie is on her way from Amazon

Ilya A K · 01-16-2010, 04:39 PM

'Interstate 60' is probably the best movie in my book.
