300...is worth checking out, if just for the fancy effects. Not a terribly moving film for me (a little too much testosterone for me, LOL)...but great film score.

I think Knowck Up just came out on DvD.  I thought it was fantastic, sort of a fusion of romantic comedy and stoner comedy.

Love both Regarding Henry and Shawshank (probably my favorite of all time). Another movie along the same lines as Henry is The Doctor with William Hurt. Not as good as Regarding Henry, but still a good movie.

I like William Hurt, so I'll have to check it out. Another movie I'd recommend is Dark City. It has William Hurt also, as well as Jennifer Connolly *yummy!*, Rufus Sewell and Kiefer Sutherland.

The directors cut works better, more background info and....
...you get to see Patrick Stewart play a Chapman Stick specially desinged for the movie to look like an acoustic instrument. He does a good job of emulating the fingerings.
 
Here, I found a clip of it.

Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo- One of many Kurosawa films one should see, this actually got me into Westerns, strangely enough. I say that because this is the origin of the Man With No Name, which Sergio Leone adapted for Fistful of Dollars. Had I not seen this and Seven Samurai, I doubt I would have ever started watching Westerns like The Searchers, Shane, and the Man With No Name trilogy

"Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten" by Julien Temple
 
Even if you hate punk to your last dying breath, this is a captivating, if over-long film that shows a different side to Strummer to the image he liked to portray (ie it does not gloss over his middle-class hippy roots - one that ironically he returned to towards the end of his life) and puts a different perspective on the Punk movement than the one Temple has been renowned for showing in the past.
What?
