My Favorite Movies
I have no idea why they are numbered the way they are. So they are not in any particular order.

Death at a Funeral (2007, R)
Oh my God! Side splitting. My wife laughed so hard I couldn't hear some of the sound track (LOL). Classic British farce is back. How do they think of all those turns? Great acting. Great story. Highly recommended if you have any British funny bones in you. |

The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro) (The Sea Within) (2004, PG-13)
A beautiful and powerfully moving story, wonderfully acted (in Spanish), much food for thought... but mostly it will move your heart. Way better than the Oscar "No Country" |
