From http://www.abc.net.au/atthemovies/review/

I think I may have to do another list where I just list anything they rated at least 4 by one of them. It's really hard to keep some of their recommendations off the list!

Can't find "Accident" http://www.abc.net.au/atthemovies/txt/s2690077.htm

Can't find "Seraphine" http://www.abc.net.au/atthemovies/txt/s2671856.htm

1
Brokeback Mountain (2005,  R)
2
Capote (2005,  R)
Capote
I really want to read Capote's book now (won't say the name as it's a slight spoiler).
3
L'Enfant (The Child) (2006,  R)
4
Grizzly Man (2005,  R)
5
Good Night, And Good Luck (2005,  PG)
Good Night, And Good Luck
An reflection on a time involving diminished human rights, judgment without trial overcome by intelligence and truth in journalism. Very pertinent.
6
Happy Feet (2006,  PG)
Happy Feet
Every kid should see this. It's cute and fun, has lots of adventure, important life lessons, environmentalism, etc. It's great!
7
The Italian (,  PG-13)
8
Into the Wild (2007,  R)
Into the Wild
This movie was amazing. The soundtrack is also brilliant.
9
Lust, Caution (Se jie) (2007,  R)
10
Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others) (2006,  R)
11
Million Dollar Baby (2004,  PG-13)
Million Dollar Baby
Unexpectedly beautiful.
12
The New World (2005,  PG-13)
The New World
Visually, this was a beautiful movie. The scenery and the filming was stunning, plus the outfits were amazing. The natural sounds and music were well chosen and used well, with the latter not appearing until they were in settled areas, which I thought was a nice touch. All in all, I felt that the film moved way too slowly and may have been better as a mini-series.
13
No Country for Old Men (2007,  R)
14
The Road To Guantanamo (2006,  R)
The Road To Guantanamo
Harsh. I hate what I have seen of the American Military. I would be terrified to meet them in a war zone.
15
The Return (2006,  PG-13)
The Return
This was a great movie. I was expecting it to be more of a horror movie, but it was actually really well made suspense/thriller/mystery. It's just scary enough to keep you jumping and realistic enough to keep you interested. I can't say much more without giving away spoilers.
16
Sideways (2004,  R)
17
There Will Be Blood (2007,  R)

Atonement (2007,  R)
24
The Aviator (2004,  PG-13)
25
Bobby (2006,  R)
Bobby
This is actually a very interesting movie as the stories of the intertwining lives are very believable. Plus, almost everyone in the movie is played by an A-list actor. It's quite a lot of talent.
26

War of the Worlds
Oh god. The best advice I had before watching this was "Think of it as a comedy".

I especially loved how the family looked all shiny and clean at the end - as if they'd all been having tea politely since the aliens arrived and hadn't noticed a thing.

Little Miss Sunshine
I spent the entire movie staring in disbelief. A manufactured dysfunctional family with obvious, hollywood-style, unrealistic character development. Everything they did was just a little too over-the-top and could have been avoided with some thought. In fact, the whole movie would never have happened if only people knew how to drive (or had thought of letting the person who could drive do so from the start).

I could have taken it as silly fun (it's obviously meant to be), but it was just too horrifying. Plus, pagaent girls scare me.

A fantastic lesson in what not to do when you have kids.

This was visually amazing, but I think they could have made the scenario a little less paranormal and weird. It would have been easy for them to keep the plot to pure sci-fi, but for some reason they just didn't.
144
Sicko (2007,  PG-13)
Sicko
A big improvement on most Michael Moore movies. This is actually more of a documentary, comparing health systems and collecting anecdotal tricks and tragedies. In France he gets a little drawn off-topic by other government benefits that generally improve lifestyles for the French - I learned about several I didn't know of before.

During the film, there are only a few cliché Michael Mooreisms and they're quite toned down compared to previous movies.

Personally, I think America needs to look at insurance reform as well as health care reform. In Australia, insurers try to give you the run-around a little, but they'd lose their right to sell insurance if they tried the schemes shown in Sicko.

Anyway, it's a great insight into why America is such a scary place to get sick.
