other films to watch, in my humble opinion:
brokeback mountain - excellent film,

lower city - foreign lang film with strong sex/violence scenes but realistic all the same worth a watch if you find it.

walk the line, johnny cash story based on his autobiography. not a bad soundtrack

fun with dick and jane, decent comedy romp, usual stuff from jim carey.

running scarred - thought this would be crap because of paul walker but after a few good reports i watched it and too my suprise quite liked it, well worth a watch

hope that helps get some posts in here, its like a morgue in here, cept colder!
