This is one of the best, most original movies I've EVER seen. I'd recommend it to any and everyone. Watched it last night after not seeing it for over a year and it touched me deeper than it ever has...takes my breath away. There's so much to think about; I love that. I adore Anthony Hopkins! See Fracture also!

Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.10
This is something that has a lot of depth. I didn't catch all of it the first viewing. Watch it more than once. It speaks volumes...I love it. What makes it extra special is that Crowe and Bale are in it together; what an incredible chemistry they have on screen!

Almost Famous - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)Almost Famous - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $28.99
One of my all-time favorites for about a million reasons. The director's cut is much better than the theatrical version. If you haven't seen this movie, you are missing out big time!
Pride & PrejudicePride & Prejudice
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.93
Besides taking my breath away it reminds me to always be careful to not be prideful or prejudiced because it may hinder me from some of the best people to ever come my way.

This movie was completely different than what I thought it would be and that's why I loved it.

So real...crucifixion was torture and Jesus paid the price for all of us. We get to choose faith and accept this gift He gave or not to. Why not give Him a chance? Invite Him into your heart... o8E 1111

Buy and play without reading anything about it and you'll enjoy the movie more, I think. The theatrical trailer contains spoilers. Luckily I just popped the movie in and watched it first without knowing hardly anything about it.
The PromiseThe Promise
This movie had its problems but there were a lot of things right about it.
My Life Without MeMy Life Without Me
Buy used from: $1.87
This is an interesting film for everyone. Even though it is seemingly about accepting and preparing for death it's really about seizing life and making the most of each day--about thinking what you want and making it happen...we should live strong. Not just for our families and friends but for ourselves too. That's living.
