Miracle, I love your list! Last year I literally watched Love Actually every day for a month. I just couldn''t get over it
DiamondFan, Wedding Crashers had me wheezing from laughing too much. It''s special to me too because it''s the first movie I saw with FI
Another movie that left me speechless was Raise the Red Lantern. It makes me feel lucky about when and where I was born at.
Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut... big HUH for me, but not in a bad way.
I really liked No Country For Old Men even though I had the Huh? moment at the end. I thought the Coen brothers did a masterful job and Javier Bardem was incredible! Also loved American Beauty! Great film.
I guess I like going HUH? at the end of a movie and then have good conversation with others about what they thought it was about. Makes you think.
I keep forgetting to watch this. I have to tell FI to add it to our cue.Date: 8/5/2008 3:35:16 PM

Oh.. speechless and tearful? Hotel Rwanda..
I came home from that movie, sat down on the corner of my bed to turn on my bedside light and just started balling my eyes out for 30 minutes. I just couldn''t understand why humans have to be like this to other humans. It was one of the moments that lead me to the activism that I am now involved in so deeply.Date: 8/5/2008 3:35:16 PM

I also want to see Shindler''s List. I understand its quite powerful.I think thought provoking movies are good for my kids, too.. we''ve watched a few of those.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!Ihad to watch the edited version for a film class and even the edited version(edited for violence)was still un-settling and bottered me for a day or two after wards...i cant view mans inhumanity to man.Date: 8/8/2008 11:20:45 AM

Oh, I thought of another that really was moving - Roman Polansky''s - The Pianist. That one got me.
Big fat Ditto! This was one of my first encounters with her, she was incredible in this film.Date: 8/4/2008 4:44:31 PM

It''s actually a very good movie sunnyd. It is disturbing for the scenes and the drugs, but the acting is superb!! The analogy between legal and illegal drugs is extremely well done. Ellen Burstyn (?) should have received an Academy Award for her role.Date: 8/4/2008 4:38:24 PM

FF owns Requiem, and I''m curious to see it, but everytime I suggest it, he says no. Now I''m thinking I could do without it?Date: 8/4/2008 4:36:38 PM

I love Connelly, she was also awesome in Requeim, and Labryinth is one of my faves of all time.Date: 8/4/2008 5:42:38 PM

Not really. Jennifer Connelly imdb The movies I think of when I think of her are Beautiful Mind, Labyrinth, Requiem for a Dream, Blood Diamond, Dark City, and Hulk. She's not your run of the mill romantic comedy kind of chick. Brilliant actress though.Date: 8/4/2008 5:33:15 PM

Oh yeah. I'm still kinda surprised that she did this movie. Isn't she a romantic comedy type?!
