Movies I need to see eventually:
(You're probably wondering where I've been. I don't know. I guess I have no excuse. :-)Anyway, this list is mostly for my use to help me remember because, of course, when it comes time to rent movies I always forget.)
Ray
The Aviator*
Bend it Like Beckham
Osama
Born into Brothels (documentary)
Westside Story
Super Size Me (documentary)
Bowling for Columbine (documentary)
Million Dollar Baby
The Motorcycle Diaries
Garden State
Hotel Rwanda
Bride and Prejudice*
Phantom of the Opera*
Finding Neverland
Vera Drake*
Shawshank Redemption

*optional

This is all I can remember right now. Do you have any other "must see" suggestions?

Hi,

You haven't seen shawshank redemption yet! that's an absolute must see...one of my favorites. i just saw hotel rwanda, which was very impacting and very sad. as a result i'm reading mandela's autobiography, to get started on african politics and see what an african leader has in terms of wisdom, concerning these kinds of things.

great list. gardenstate was also awesome. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is kind of along the same lines, as well as that other existential one, I heart huckabees.

love ya!

I can't believe it! I've watched 9 of the movies on your list! Remember when we'd go to the video store, and I could never pick a video because both you and Ro had inevitably watched it???:) Well, Scott loves movies, and I'm unemployed, a combo which has caught me up to speed in the movie world. ;) Hotel Rwanda has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Motorcycle Diaries was excellent too. Che Guevara reminded me a LOT of my husband. hehe :)
