19.The Siege-a man's action movie with Bruce Willis as the bad guy. Hated it.
20.Beaches-a movie from my childhood that I wanted to watch again. This was the movie that made me a Bette Midler fan. But the movie was pretty lame. Very chick-flick.
21.Girl, Interrupted-Winona Rider was made for this movie. Her extremely uncomfortable look at a young woman deciding whether she is crazy or brilliant is often tough to watch but very compelling and authentic. I want to read the book it's based on.
22.Love in the Time of Cholera-followed the book surprisingly well. The story of a man who dedicates his life to loving a woman who has rejected him. A very unromantic love story.
23.The Princess Bride-needs no explanation. I just wanted to watch it after finally reading the book. A lot of fun.

I SO want to see la Vie en Rose-I love Edith Piaf. :)
I loved the book The Namesake, so I'm boycotting the movie. But you might want to try the book! The writing is stunning.
I'd heard it was a book. I'll have to give it a try.
I love Edith Piaf too, my French teacher in High School used to play her music all the time. Hers and Jaques Brel. I enjoyed the movie but it did hop around somewhat maniacally. And wasn't she a pill?
Atonement broke my heart! I cried so much when the ending arrived, I just didn't think it was very fair. Saoirse Ronan was amazing in it as Briony.
kayleigh-I completely understand. I walked out of the theater gasping for breath.
Atonement looked and felt a lot like Pride and Prejudice... i'd recommend the latter if you haven't seen it yet
