What's the best movie you've seen this year? Slow at work so we are able to watch a movie during business hours. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Good lord... if things are indeed that slow at work, personally I would give some serious consideration to updating my Resume.

Can't help you with the movie though, haven't seen one yet this year.

We just watched RV tonight and found it pretty humorous. I liked the Da Vinci Code but the book was better. Can't remember much else from the past year...I'm getting old!

Yeah, some random lady in blockbuster told me it was filmed around here and I had no idea! It was really visually beautiful, a bit slow, however very graceful and dramatic :)

The Departed!
12/26/2006 06:27:06 AM · #20
Memoires of a geisha, absolutely brilliant! Normally I don't like it when they make a movie from a book, but this was perfect. They really visualised it perfectly (just the way I had it in mind when I read the book)

The da Vinci code: dissapointing. The book is 100x better.
12/26/2006 07:48:25 AM · #21
Volver definitely, also Babel.
12/26/2006 09:16:00 AM · #22
The Wind That Shakes the Barley

by Ken Loach

2006 Palme d'Or, Cannes
12/26/2006 09:30:11 AM · #23
The Inconvenient Truth

The Queen
12/26/2006 09:57:04 AM · #24
Little Miss Sunshine
Nacho Libre
Pirates
Beer

And I think that one in the musuem is going to be pretty cool. I hope to see it before the end of the year.

We just saw "Taladega Nights" last night and I've never laughed so hard as I did at the out takes. GET THE DVD!!
