The most memorable film that I have seen is A Child Lost Forever. It is about a little boy who is taken away from his mother and father at birth because they are both underage and put in the American adoption scheme. 21 years later the mother goes looking for her son, only to find out that he died when he was 3 years old. The boys adopted mother physical abused him beating him and making him eat his own sick because he was an untidy and lud child unlike her son that she had, who was taught to be tidy. The child died of a ruptured bowl, which kills you after a number of symptoms if not treated. The case was closed as her whle family were police in the same department. They eventually found her guilty after opening the case again. She got life in prison. What hit it home for me and made me cry through it was the fact that it was a true story and that there are people out there back in them days that would take away a child to an underage mother yet nowadays it is becoming more and more common for 11 and 12 year olds to keep there babies. I think that the laws should be changed and that kids as young as that should be put on birth control and taught the risks of having sex at an earlier age. That is the film and that is my view.

'The Jacket' kind of reminds me of memento.\n\nAnything written by M. Night Shyamalan, particularly 'Unbreakable'.  (Shyamalan wrote 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Signs'.) His films are semi-weird, but works of pure genius.\n\n'The Forgotten'.  You will think you have the mystery figured out, but you won't figure out the *real* mystery.  You will haveto wait til the end to find out.  Good movie, especially if you like Shyamalan.  (This is not a Shyamalan film, but reminiscent of his work.)\n\nOn the sappy side...have you seen the classic 'The Color Purple'?  A must if you are to understand even half of what Media says.\n\nMedia...you must see 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman'.  I am a white woman, and when I originally saw this movie's previews on television, I mistakenly thought it was another movie littered with racist remarks against white people.  But it's not.  It is one of the best comedy-dramas I have ever seen.  You will laugh for days.  And there is one other thing that is very surprising about this high quality and very funny film: it is about Christians, and Christians who walk the talk.  And you will definitely want to see more of Tyler Perry's work, of which there is much.  But this is his best movie, IMO.\n\n'A Patch of Blue'. I would recommend this film to everyone from the most feminine woman to the biggest most macho biker on a Harley.  Set in the early 60s, I think? Sydney Poitier falls in love with a blind white girl, and it's mutual.  Dark without being bloody, sexy without getting graphic, and quite funny in strange places.  Thoroughly unique, well written, well produced, directed, you name it.  With Shelley winters as the girl's wicked mother.\n\nYentl.  Streisand is a socialist, it's true.  But if you can overlook her politics, this one is brilliant.  Plus, you have to like the music.  \n\n'The Machinist' disappointed me.  Anorexic Batman was interesting to look at for a little while, but the story was just too vague and nowhere for me.\n\n'Quills'.  About the Marquis de Sade in the loony bin.  As sick as you want.  Dark. With Joaquin Phoenix as an ethical, compassionate, but very human priest that tries to help all the crazies, Michael Caine as a sadistic quack that tortures crazy people, and the guy that played the adult nut piano player in 'Shine' as the Marquis de Sade.  Great, dark film, with a twist ending.\n\n'A Clockwork Orange'.  Classic.  Still shocking and amazing.\n\n'Magnolia' is long and kind of boring in places, but in a way it's genius.  Tom Cruise is disturbing in this, interesting to see.  William H. Macy is...different...in this. But also interesting to watch.  It's not for everyone, though.  With Philip Seymour Hoffman as a sweet hetero male nurse.\n\nThat's all I got for now.

YES!!! AND YES!!! My husband and I loved the movie Hostle.  We went to see it when it first came out.  It's amazing it's based on a true story.  Although most have agreed that the first half of the movie is all breasts and the second half all gore.  I personally thought the first half went very slow but knowing that it's based on a true story... It will definately be one WE OWN ON DVD!!!  \n\nWhat did you think?

I liked it a lot.  A somewhat similar type of movie that will be coming to video soon is called "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang".  Not quite the same since there's no a-ha moments quite like Slevin, but very good.  Very Pulp Fictionish.  I recommend it.  And with a title like that it's hard to forget.  :)

Right at the very end when it says "The events and characters depicted in this motion picture are fictitious, and any similarity to actual persons, or events is purely coincidental."\n\nThat's the best part of that train wreck.

That movie almost changed my mind about studying abroad in England.  It's one of the only times I ever remember being scared.\n\nI think the underlying theme was the fragileness of our civilization.  It only took 28 days to dismantle an entire country.

Is CRASH nominated? If so, CRASH all the way! That movie moved me in a way it should move everyone! A movie about gay cowboys could never do that now, huh?! LoL

Haha, I just totally posted a topic just like yours. I definitely thought it should have won over crash. I mean, honestly, the average person heard much more about Brokeback Mountain than Crash. The acting was superb, it was origional, I enjoyed it.

I have seen the movie. It's impossible to avoid bias in things like these. Clearly Al Gore was/is concerned about Global Warming, but  it's impossible to comment on what should/could/would have happened if things had been different in the election. \n\nI thought the movie was super informative and interesting. It definitely made me think about global warming. It's a really important subject and I think the movie does a good job of introducing the issue to people who might be less informed about it. Go check it out!

My money's on The Incredible Melting Man 1977.\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076191/

Well its partly based on Roger Waters' childhood and relationship with his father, but I dont know that there is any "hidden" message there - he was clearly fixated by the War, and his father's death in it, especially as his father was a pacifist, and the film contains a lot of pseudo nazi imagery.

I really enjoyed that docufilm. It made me realize that in my life, there are certain things that happen because I have trained my brain to respond in that manner. If I can disconnect the neurons in my brain and retrain them, I may not be as angry at life as I think I am. So, lets say, my husband comes home late. I automatically assume some ghastly vision which included some other woman. But, if I just breathe and not assume, let the explanation carry itself, I might possibly not freak out the next time it happens. It is basically learning to tell your brain not to think what it normally does. So, all in all, I think it is a good film for people like me with actual mental instability, it might help someone else relearn to react differently.
