Best movies last two years

Yes indeed BOA2...by the way did you know a vry popular (in Korea, Japan and increasingly rest of Asia) Korean singer (I think she is about 19) in the Brittney Spears mold...her name is also BOA? Can u dance?

Old Boy is middle movie of a trilogy of revenge theme movies by the same director: its the best one of the lot but the other two are pretty good too...the first was Sympathy for the Devil (but has nothing to do w/ the Stones) and the other I think was titled the Revenge of Ms Lee or something. Saw the first one which was quite good.

Ok, it's not a new movie, but one of the best movies I believe I'll ever watch and certainly have watched in the last two years is 'Withnail and I.' Darker British humour, and an absolute favorite. It's about two starving, substance abusing actors who go to the English country for a weekend of quiet. It's not slapstick, but rather intelligent humor. An absoluts classic and also on the Criterion list.
If anyone else has heard of it, I'd be curious as to your thoughts.

Henry,

Thanks so much for letting us in on the trilogy info. I'll have to see the others. And to answer your question, I'm an awful dancer.

Fotis_k, I've seen "Withnail and I" many times. Fantastic movie, in my opinion. Richard Grant, the lead actor, was also in another excellent movie called "How to Get Ahead in Advertising". Off the wall story about an advertising exec who grows a cyst that starts talking to him.

Another memorable film from the past two years was "Nowhere in Africa", a German film about a Jewish couple who move with their daughter to Africa to wait out the holocaust.

Henry,
I've just put "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" (#1) in my Netflix queue, and the next one (coming soon) in the trilogy is "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance." Can't wait! Thanks for letting us know.

'Hotel Rwanda' is a great movie also.

Watched 'Polar Express' a couple of days ago, another great film, destined to become a family classic.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned 'Life Aquatic,' again not your average comedy. A great story with some of the best characters to grace any movie in years.

Boa2, I will definately watch 'How to Get Ahead in Advertising.' If it's half as good as 'Withnail' I'll enjoy it immensely.

Great post -it proves there is life beyond audio...
