Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $2.95
Great, but don't go thinking you might want to get into westerns if you like it, this is much more fast paced than most of those in its genere.

Pure action flick, but besides the plot being basic It's hard to bash it.
TransformersTransformers

Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.45

Clint Eastwood is one of my Demi-Gods. Easily the best film he directed recently.
Enemy at the GatesEnemy at the Gates
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.94
One of the best World War 2 films, the only thing is you didn't feel like the characters were German or Russian, the actors could've at least tried to pull accents.
Dark BlueDark Blue
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.12
Kurt Russell in a different kind of role. I loved how it was partly centered around the L.A. Riots.

Over the top action that makes it hilarious. The last scene is priceless.

Not a Jamie Foxx fan, but a nice action flick with a message that doesn't come off ultra preachy.
The Good Shepherd (Widescreen Edition)The Good Shepherd (Widescreen Edition)

Great story, but felt like they could've gotten somebody better than Matt Damon.
The PropositionThe Proposition
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.81
A different kind of western, an Austrialian one. Very realistic and brutal in its tone.

Another Stephen King gem. The ending with really blow your mind.
We Were Soldiers (Widescreen Edition)We Were Soldiers (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.89
One of the rare movies about Vietnam that's not totally anti-government war or whatever. It just shows how the war was not the mindset of society.
The Patriot (Special Edition)The Patriot (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.90
Yes I know one of the Top 10 Historically Innacurate Movies of all time. Any Mel Gibson fan will like this though.

Miracle (Widescreen Edition)Miracle (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.18
Great true story, you'll be surprised after watching it that Disney made it. Must point out that not all youngsters will like this like, "Remember the Titans."
Bridge to Terabithia (Widescreen Edition)Bridge to Terabithia (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.84
For those who haven't read the book and saw the previews thought they were walking into another Chronicles of Narnia type film. Instead they got a more unique story and very few movies make me feel sad like this did.
The Terminal (Widescreen Edition)The Terminal (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.20
Tom Hanks wasn't neccessary for the lead, a lesser known actor would've done just as well. A fun sometimes silly comedy for the whole family.
The Greatest Game Ever PlayedThe Greatest Game Ever Played
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.97
I liked this movie and I hate golf. Another winner for Disney.
Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet StreetSweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $5.00
I hate musicals and I loved this. Besides the fact that the plot wasn't all happy like most, but about revenge and murder the songs were actually enjoyable to.
Hotel RwandaHotel Rwanda
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.50
Very few movies affect me emotionally, it's sad how everybody knows about the Holocaust but don't know or just don't care that things like it are occuring right now in many countries of Africa and Asia.
