Just to show the difference in perception that two intelligent people (I
read and respect your postings, Franc!) can experience upon viewing the
same piece of work; I hated CHICAGO. I tried twice to watch the film,
and found it appalling on every level. Seeing Richard Gere in this film
made me want to rip my eyeballs out and flush them down the toilet.
Then again, I loved both A.I. and Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS.
No accounting for taste....

PS-I saw the film MOON mentioned earlier on someone else's list, and
would add my thumbs-up on this quirky sci0fi film as well. A
tour-de-force for Sam Rockwell.

within the last forty years. FRANC

*Subject:* [MOPO] Film recommendations of the past ten years?
I have been* SO* busy the past ten years that I have seen
few movies (which is funny, because in the 40 years before
that I saw many thousands of movies). Part of it is
because I much prefer the "theater" experience and I live
in a small town with limited choices.
But my question to you is, "What films made in the past
ten years would you HIGHLY recommend as being truly
exceptional?"
Know that I like movies of all genres, but I have a strong
preference for well written movies, and ones with really
good pacing, and few slow or throwaway scenes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
