One of the greatest films ever. It's also one of those films than is a must see on the big screen, as it loses quite a bit on the small screen.

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) 5.0 Stars
Inspiring, sad, funny, scary and thought provoking (not to mention visually stunning, well acted and directed). All the force of a baseball bat to your emotions. Matthieu Amalric should get the Oscar for best actor, but won't because he's French.
