[Hank Rearden]

Can you give me a list of the "dozens of good films"? I must be missing something.

Here's some more in addition to Downfall (I have seen all of these, and bought most on DVD after seeing them in the theater, so I'm not just passing on others' lists):

March of the Penguins
Grizzly Man (just to gloat at a loopy leftist)
Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2
Touching the Void
Hero
Hotel Rwanda
The Incredibles
The Triplets of Belleville
De-Lovely
Winged Migration
Finding Nemo
Ed Wood
The Station Agent
American Splendor
School of Rock
Finding Nemo
The Aviator
Insomnia
Standing in the Shadows of Motown
Big Night

I have left off a few, like Lord of the Rings and Sideways that I thought were good but didn't nearly live up to the hype.

Start with these; let me know if you need more. You're welcome.

Thanks, Hank. Now I have my Holiday viewing list ready!

Hotel Rwanda and Big Night -- two of my all-time faves! Also very much enjoyed Antwone Fisher -- it was excellent, although it did deal in part with the horror of child abuse, but in a way to make you understand its seriousness. Speaking of Denzel Washington, Remember the Titans was outstanding. Though I haven't seen it, FReepers also rave about We Were Soldiers.
