| The Incredibles - PG |
"Supermodels. Heh! Nothing super about them... spoiled, stupid little stick figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. Feh! I used to design for *gods*! " This movie is such a little charmer! I love the design of it, I love the "Edith Head" character, and I love the idea of a family of superheroes. I honestly don't remember the story that well, but like with every Pixar movie (which are all great), the characters are the most important thing, and the characters are wonderful in this one! |

| An Inconvenient Truth - PG |
" What we take for granted might not be here for our children." The wake-up call for a nation of sleeping environmentalists. This is a remarkable work. It is structured so beautifully; the moment that you think that things are hopeless, Gore comes in with something that gives you hope. It's emotional, but not preachy; scientific, but not dry. I own this movie, but it is, honestly, not one that I watch often because it easily upsets me. But it's a movie that I'm glad I have... |

| Hope Floats - PG-13 |
"I like all of God's creatures, I just like some of them better stuffed. And he's one of them." This is a lovely little film that captures the small town of Smithville beautifully. It captures the relationship between a mother and a daughter beautifully. It's not about overcoming anything; this movie is about taking strength from love. And Harry Connick, Jr. is gorgeously wonderful as well! |

| Garden State - R |
"Safe... when I'm with you I feel so safe... like I'm home." This movie is strangely like the week that my husband and I met, and it is strangely also how we have become. The movie is so specific, yet so universal, and has enough surrealism in it to make it true entertainment. The plot is immaterial: it's about death, love, home, fear, and friendship. Enjoy. |

| Gettysburg - PG |
"Generals can do anything. There's nothing so much like a god on earth as a General on a battlefield." I saw this movie in the theatre, and absolutely loved it, and here it is fifteen years later, I still love it. I know Civil War history rather well, and although this movie isn't exactly accurate, what is important is that it takes static photographs and stories and turns them into real people with personalities and piccadillos. Based on the brilliant novel, The Killer Angels, Gettysburg takes the most pivotal three days in American history, and lights them up gloriously. The great performances of Jeff Daniels and Tom Berenger are worth the rather long running time. |

| Ghost Busters (Ghostbusters) - PG |
"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! " C'mon! It's freakin' GHOSTBUSTERS! You know you love it! I don't have to explain it! |

| GoodFellas - R |
"You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny? " Godfather people look out: this is the greatest gangster movie ever made. This is about a footsoldier, about how a neighborhood kid rises to the heights of the mob life, and then becomes new mafia, in an old school family. Goodfellas takes Henry Hill up to the highest of the highs (note the Copa tracking shot) to the lowest of the lows (cue cocaine). I believe this is Scorsese's finest work; Goodfellas is absolute perfection. |

| Good Morning, Vietnam - R |
"Goooooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test! This is rock and roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the D.M.Z.! " The first thing I always realize whenever I watch this movie, is that my uncle listened to Cronauer when he was in Vietnam, and that he loved listening to him. I always think about Uncle Bobby sitting in some godforsaken shithole, listening to this funny guy, making his day a little better. Seeing this movie, and realizing what happened behind the microphone is always a revelation, as is Robin Williams' acting; remember, this is 1988, before anyone knew that Williams could do more than just be funny. |

| Good Night, And Good Luck - PG |
"We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. " This is a story of the dawn of conscious journalism. Edward R. Murrow saw that injustice was being perpetrated by the government, and called McCarthy out, presenting the truth and demanding an end to the blacklist. If only the press today were so brave as to challenge government's tyranny today. This film is a triumph. |

| Good Will Hunting - R |
"Fuck you, you don't owe it to yourself man, you owe it to me, 'cause tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50, and I'll still be doin' this shit. And that's all right. That's fine. I mean, you're sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket. You're too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that's bullshit. 'Cause I'd do fuckin' anything to have what you got. So would any of these fuckin' guys. It'd be an insult to us if you're still here in 20 years. Hangin' around here is a fuckin' waste of your time." If you divorce yourself from the whole Ben and Matt thing, and just watch this movie, you will realize how remarkable it is. This is a wonderful story about potential, about intelligence, about love, and about friendship. It has glorious dialogue, wonderful acting, and a lovely story. I has a point of view that could only be told from people raised in Boston; nowhere else can you find the juxtaposition of the MIT intellectual world, and the working class world of Southie. I recently re-watched it, and it still holds up after (gasp!) eleven years. |

| The Goonies - PG |
"Goonies never say die!" It's the perfect fantasy when you're eight: you find a treasure map in your attic, and go after buried treasure to save your neighborhood, because adults are silly. This was before Sean Astin was a hobbit, Josh Brolin was running with a briefcase filled with drug money, before Corey Feldman was an addict. It's an adventure, and I always feel like I'm eight again when I see this movie! |
