| | | Scarface still takes the cake in my book. It tugged at my heart strings and was the only movie to have ever made me cry.
Even though this is for movies, I very well remember reading a shorty story in 6th or 7th grade called "Flowers for Algernon". That story made me sad. | |

Alright, I decided to watch deliver us from evil. Yes, it was quite disturbing, but not as disturbing I expected it to be? :: Shrugs ::
I'll check out Last King of Scotland soon. Any other recommendations?

| | | Flowers for Algernon - I remember seeing that movie as a kid. I heard they remade the movie in the last few years, but I loved the original.
Anyway, Kiechi - I can't believe you didn't find that movie disturbing. Didn't you think it was creepy how matter-of-fact and utterly disconnected that priest could be about boinking little kids? ::shudder::
Anyway - have you seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? I think the 70s produced some of the greatest movies ever made...
Also, if you liked "Life is Beautiful", try "Train of Life". It is a French movie with subtitles.
If you want to try something really different, get "City Lights". It is a classic silent movie.
Also, did you ever get "The Bicycle Thief" (Ladri di biciclette)? I may have suggested it at some point. It's Italian and fantastic.

| | Children of Men. More haunting than beautiful, but truly excellent.

| | Green Mansions (1959) is a beautiful film. It is based on the W. H. Hudson novel about a young man who flees into the South American jungle to escape political turmoil. He meets up with Rima, a nature girl played by Audrey Hepburn. The jungle greenery is quite pleasing.
