War Inc.!!! DR. Strangelove for the Iraq War. Funny, truthful and telling. A must see.

Sex and The City. I laughed, I cried, I laughed, I cried. It made me examine some things in my own life that I want and need to change and pay more attention to. I love the fact that in the end, love conquered all even in the mist of the mess.

I rented 'LA Story'. I'm on a SJP pre-SATC movie kick right now and one line from this movie really resonated with me: "Let your mind go and your body will follow.". I tend to let my head rule my heart, and I think I need to let me mind go more often so my body can follow.

One of my favourite movies from last year was Michael Clayton. It just sucked you in from the very first scene. Loved it.

Hey Laura...I did the same thing...watched it twice with the director's commentary on..and I too was struck more by the director's story of finally making 'her' movie than the movie itself. It was so encouraging for me, a youngish 30 to learn of a woman in her 50s finally coming into her creative being.

Loved The Station Agent.... another good one is Mostly Martha (the film that No Reservations tried pathetically to copy)..

A stunning film in every way. The soundtrack is on my wish list.

I went out and bought the soundtrack!

Loved the Perfume movie. Dustin Hoffman has a bizarre accent...but it's striking film.

this was a guilty pleasure for me. I thought Carrie's final decision about Big was a huge step backwards for woman kind. He could have worked a whole lot harder to make up for being such a cowardly goof.

ditto. Loved it.

I too loved Iron Man. It was light and fun, yet visually stunning. RDJ was perfect for this role. I love the concept of a flawed, human heroes. It makes me believe that there's is a little bit of a hero in everyone.

I saw this movie too, incredibly fascinating, but very hard to stomach. It wasn't as bad as the book, I assure you.

Thank you very much Lyda!
I'll agree with you about Eddie Vedder's soundtrack. It's very dramatic and an emotionnal soundtrack. The soundtrack of this film is like an actor itself.

Re: What’s the best movie you’ve seen lately?

Lyda — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:24:05 -0000

I agree - I don't think there is another film which has affected me as much as that one... everytime I listen to Eddie Vedder's soundtrack I am moved again and often to tears if I'm feeling tender.
I think your English is superb!

Enchanted April. i loved it in the theater years ago, but seeing it again having found an import copy that plays on my region free player ( a must have by the way- as these players have come down so dramatically in price!) the story of women who follow a dream to rent a castle in italy during a dreary spring. the experience there transforms their loves and their sense of what love means. absolutely gorgeous. how can i not adore something that refers to a place as "a tub of love"?

I hate to say I loved it, too, and have been embarrassed to admit to it to the general public. I admire your courage!

I heard this was wonderful- so glad to hear it from another source- now i must see it!

I loved it, too! It was so sweet to see a community come together and support someone different and unexpected. A real treat to watch.

The guiltiest of pleasures: You Don't Mess w/the Zohan. Admittedly I'm not usually into physical or prop comedy and this movie can get pretty disgusting. But Zohan made me laugh my cranky pants off and I left the theater giggling to myself for the rest of the day.

I loved how Sandler delivers such a hot topic of Isreali/Palestine relations to a generation, who might just know more about the Lohan/Ronson hook up then the Gaza cease fire. Then he actually has the balls to sexualize women over 50! Regular woman, who've actually grown old and aren't a size 2 w/implants? Yes @ the beginning of the film it gets the gross laugh, but at some point I think there is a shift.

Oh and Judd Aptow is one of the writers, so not only is it gross, but he hits those sentimental moments bang on.
