if you havent seen them March of the Penguins and Cinderella Man by far, the best two movies this year. I Walk the Line comes close. cant wait for King Kong and going to see The Chronicles of Narnia in about 30 mins
There are so many good movies. Here's a few that I don't think were mentioned. Night Moves The Long Goodbye The Salton Sea City of God Last of the Mohicans Heat A Man and a Woman Hero Fargo About a Boy Bandits The Big Blue Open Range Whale Rider Amelie Look up any movie at: http://www.imdb.com/
As I look back, nearly the perfect movie, IMO. story = plausible, not convoluted casting = could not have been better, top to bottom; McDormand, Macy superb script = dead-on direction = understated = perfect; pacing just right unforgettable scene = wood chipper the Coen Brothers rock
You knew Chief Dan George? Tell us more. I met him on a school field trip once, and was impressed with his warmth and wisdom.
