We plan to see "Gods and Generals" on Sunday. I agree there have been very few good films. Some relatively recent ones we have liked:
"Lord of the Rings" (Part I & II)
"Spiderman"
"Brigham City" (has a truly surprise ending)
"Mexico City"
"Blackhawk Down" -- a must see
I liked a lot the first half of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Then it went a little flat (however, last night the TV show based on it was boring). "Sweet Home Alabama" also was pretty good.
I have heard that "Barbershop" is good but haven't had a chance to see it.
I should have said plan to see GAG again.
If you haven't seen it yet, I'd recommend you add "We Were Soldiers Once" to your list. IMHO, the best Vietnam War movie ever.
