Man of the Year
The Pursuit of Happyness – The plot departs a bit from the book, but the point is not lost. Will Smith and his son have an awesome on-screen dynamic.
Becoming Jane – A must-see for any Jane-ite whether or not you agree with the plot as envisioned or fancied by its writers. Anne Hathaway is brilliant and James McAvoy matches her line-by-line. Too bad we don’t know more facts about Jane’s life and romance with Tom LeFroy…sigh.
The Last Kiss
Hairspray – John Travolta and Christopher Walken are quite the pair!
Bobby – I found this movie both sad and inspirational, and I strongly urge you to see it. Read my post about it.
Volver
The Bourne Ultimatum – It felt like Bond minus the cliches and the womanizing. Fantastic! Loved it! Am I the only one who remembers the original Bourne movie starring Richard Chamberlain?? It was The Bourne Identity done as a TV mini-series.
Broken Flowers
The Bourne Supremacy
The Bourne Identity
When Harry Met Sally
Happy Feet
Notes on a Scandal
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Oceans Twelve
Oceans Eleven
Little Children – This movie explores the dark side of ordinary lives – loveless marriage, secret affairs, motherhood and parenting, child molestation, and struggling with inner demons.
Flyboys - The true stories about heroes of the newborn American airforce during World War I.
Flags of our Fathers - Clint Eastwood is an amazing storyteller. What an impact this movie has. I can’t wait to see Letters from Iwo Jima.
Catch a Fire – with Tim Robbins. This movie is set in South Africa and tells the story of the freedom fighters during apartheid.
Half Nelson
200 Cadillacs -read my post
Pay It Forward – love Kevin Spacey’s performance, such talent!
Titanic - “I’m the king of the world!”
Four Weddings and a Funeral – forgot what fun this movie is

Platoon – Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger. Interestingly, a very unknown and almost unrecognizable Johnny Depp appears in this movie as does now Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker.
Apocalypse Now with a very young Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando and Robert Duvall who’s character is the one that says, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like victory.”
The Queen with Oscar-winner Helen Mirren
