Good picks. I have seen Slumdog, Forst/Nixon and Milk. I loved Slumdog but I was sad to hear about the greedy parent's of the young children that actually came out of the slums in playing their roles. Hope all is better for them now. Thought Frost/Nixon was excellent. I remember the events all too well of Nixons impeachment. I thought both actors did a great job. I had forgotten alot of the interview so it was fascinating to see it again although I am sure some of it was a bit Hollywood. Also saw Milk but just couldn't get into it. I remember that happening so perhaps that is one reason why it just didn't knock me out. Not sure of Benjamin. I had heard that it ran a little on the slow side. However I do want to rent The Reader as it sounds great.
Thanks for the top 5. We saw Are You There a few weeks ago. It was sad. Not sure if I would recommend it. love ya, Susan
I'm with you Gar on the #1 being "The Reader.' Although, Slumdog was right there. Thanks for the rating. Glad to see Grab Bag still in print!
Love, Grandma Dee
Benjamin Buttons was the only one I have seen on your list. It had a Forrest Gumpy feel to it a bit. Not in the story line or characters, just the timeline development.
I enjoyed it, not blown away at all. I actually enjoyed "the joy in the striped pajamas" a little more.
I have no idea what the other movies on your list are. i assume Milk is about the S.F. city councilman that was killed, but I am not sure.
