I neglected to add a couple of other films that I think were wonderful: The Life of Pi (book was amazing, and the fact that it was brought to the screen blew me away); Bridget Jones' Diary (for something light and fun); The Star War series; E.T., El Norte; Calendar Girls, The Debt, The Best Exotic...

I recently started a China kick and watched Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution," which was superb. It takes place in Hong Kong and the mainland during the Japanese occupation. A truly adult and sometimes harrowing film, not for the faint of heart; if nudity and sex on screen bothers you, do not watch it....

Late to the party yet again... Some really amazing choices on this thread, and why they were chosen. I always think that's the best part. There are so many to choose from. I don't have Netflix, but my local library has a big selection of DVDs which I can request on line, plus they're "linked" with...

I recently saw two small independent films and enjoyed both. The first is "The Sapphires". Interesting story based in the late 60's - the Vietnam era. Three aborigine sisters and a cousin are very good singers, but because of Australia's policies towards them at that time, they were shunned by the...

A friend and I saw "Quartet" and "42" recently, and both were good. "Quartet" was not an outstanding film, but interesting as showing the challenges faced by those of us heading into the (so called) golden years, whether artists or not. I would still recommend it. "42" was...
