![The Boost [VHS]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515599HTE7L._SL75_.jpg) | The Boost [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.97 I love this movie, which I've seen at least 5 times over the past 10-15 years. This time I noticed that it was a tad over the top -- for example, the dramatic music -- but it was still a sad movie. (Watched 1/5/08)

|
 | Hustle & Flow (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.20 I just finished watching this (3/29) and loved it. It is full of hope but realistic, too.
|
 | CSA: The Confederate States of America
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $6.20 This movie manages to be provocative and cringe-worthy at the same time. Watched 3/29/08.
I see that Amazon lists this as a Comedy. As a biracial woman, I don't find this movie funny.
|
 | Children of a Lesser God
Buy used from: $3.58 I always loved William Hurt's "The Doctor," so I'm glad that I got a chance to watch one of his earlier works.

Buy used from: $1.43 I really enjoyed this movie. The themes hold up. I was surprised at how serious it was at times. I liked how it critiqued corporate America.
|
 | The Big Chill
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.99 |
 | Return of the Secaucus 7
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.67 These characters would now be pushing 60, which would make them more interesting than they ever were in this film. I'm 45 and can't relate anymore to angst about turning 30. Now 50 is another story.

Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.01 Never forget. Never again.
However, I don't think I can ever watch this again. It was too painful.
|
 | Capote
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.01 Excellent. What a personality Capote was and what a great actor Hoffman is.
|

Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.01 It was an OK movie but it could have used more drama. I didn't like the ending.

![The Secret of My Success [VHS]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51J8KRTSGFL._SL75_.jpg) | The Secret of My Success [VHS]
Buy used from: $0.01 I could only get halfway through this movie. Michael J. Fox is a great actor but his talent couldn't save this film.
|
 | Far From Heaven
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.25 Good movie.
|
 | Juno (Single-Disc Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.99 This movie was worth the hype and the soundtrack was just as good. Viewed in December.
|
 | Inside Man (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.07 This was a great movie but the ending was too ambiguous. I enjoyed the shout out to Dog Day Afternoon, which is an old favorite. I'm also happy that Spike Lee did well with this one because I've enjoyed most of his work.
|
 | Ghosts of Mississippi
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $4.77 I watched this yesterday (12/28/08) and in a way, I wish I hadn't. It was an OK movie, the acting was fine but there was no real kick.
|
 | Havoc (R-Rated Version)
Buy used from: $1.95 I don't know why I like this movie but I do. Viewed in December.

![Duck Soup [Chico Marx and Zeppo Marx]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516GMGD4E2L._SL75_.jpg) | Duck Soup [Chico Marx and Zeppo Marx]
Buy used from: $19.99 Viewed earlier in the year.
|
 | Fargo (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.89 This was an OK movie but the book "A Simple Plan" by Scott Smith is a far better parallel. I'm glad that I waited to see this one on TV.
|
 | The Rules of Attraction
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.79 This may be the worst movie that I've ever seen in my 46 years. Horrible. I gave up on it partway through. It's too bad because I really enjoyed the book when it was first released in the 80s. Viewed in November.
|
 | Cooley High
Buy used from: $4.77 I'm glad that I finally got around to seeing this movie. It only took 30+ years. Viewed in November.
|
 | Baby Mama
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.39 Watching this movie was a pleasant way to spend a Friday evening in December, 2008. It was also nice to see Greg Kinnear, since I was a fan of his since Talk Soup.
|
 | Jungle Fever
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.68 I didn't watch the whole movie this year but I've seen the complete film at least 3 or 4 times over the past 17 years. Another Spike Lee classic, which I viewed in December.
|
 | The Laughing Policeman
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.19 I remember being 10 years old and thinking that this movie had a great title. I was too young to watch it then and wish that I would have skipped it this year. It was a chore to watch (I kept stopping it and watched over 3 days), probably because police shows/movies aren't my thing. I prefer Matthau's The Taking of Pelham One, Two Three (Viewed 12/27-29, 2008).
|
 | Hester Street
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $21.83 This was another movie that I had wanted to see as a kid but I'm glad that I waited until I was old enough to appreciate it.
|
 | Chalk
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.80 Realistic movie. In fact, I thought it was a documentary.

Listmania!
