Patch Adams (1998, PG-13)
Very touching. The beginning scenes inside the mental hospital were hysterical! Did anyone else recognize Mr. Noodle? Lol! Robin Williams is tremendous as Patch. |

We Were Soldiers (2002, R)
I really liked that they portrayed the "bad" guys as real people- the Vietnamese soldiers are husbands, brothers, fathers, and sons, just like the Americans. They are not necessarily "evil"...many are good people, honorable ex-civilians who are just doing their job: to defend their country. Too many war movies portray the opponent as heartless, evil thugs. We Were Soldiers is refreshing!!! |

Saving Private Ryan (1998, R)
Easily the best war film ever. Gritty, ultra-realistic battle sequences; one at the beginning and another smaller one at the end. This movie is so powerful. It's beautiful -- an utter masterpiece, and it honors Amerian soldiers for their bravery and willingness to do the inredible out of loyalty to their country. Left me completely speechless! |

Titanic (1997, PG-13)
Tragic, bittersweet love story...heart-felt performances on Kate & Leo's part. I can't imagine the movie without them. |

Pearl Harbor (2001, PG-13)
A love letter dedicated to all the Americans killed in the bombing of Pearl Harbor...wonderous special effects and decent depiction of war (within a PG13 rating). I think all the character development & hokey love triangle was a bit much though. But I can ignore that...overall, a great film. |

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008, PG-13)
Basically an Elizabethian soap opera. It's worthwhile as long as you don't mind a portrayal of revised, modernized history. Garbage otherwise!! |

The Basketball Diaries (1995, R)
A real-life story about a young man who turns to drugs after his best friend dies. Featuring an astonishing, highly emotional performance by Leo. Basketball Diaries reminds me of Requiem for a Dream, except for Diaires offers a solution to the problem. It shows there is hope for the drug addict, whereas in Requiem for a Dream they tell you basically that once you become an addict your life is screwed, it's all over. All these anti-drug movies are great. I still think teens should be forced to see them. |

This is a good list. If you like Pearl Harbor, maybe you would like Tora Tora Tora. The Tudors series are very good, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is scorching as King Henry!!!
