Best movies last two years

I haven't watched many dramas lately. Best was "Love Song for Bobby ...".

What have you enjoyed ?

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...

Sure Boa2. Any time. There has been a revolution Korean film over recent years...not all great but some really worth seeing. The same director Kang also had a huge hit with film called "JSA" ...not revenge but more of a human drama regarding the North-South Korea divide. Its basically some soldiers bonding despite their differences but politics come in ruin the warming....other Korean films worth checking out are

Shiri- love story, North-South Korea divide, terrorism, tear jerker...the one that started the whole movement
Silmido - based on a real event, a massacre motivated by political cover up
Oasis - tear jerker love story about one who is physically challenged and a criminal...awared best actress in 02 Venice Film Festival
Memories of Murder - mystery based in Korea in the 70s: also about new Western "scientific" method investigating vs old tradtinal Korean bully-style
RPoint: a horror story based in the Vietnam war
Friend : a story about friendship from childhood to death among gangsters in the 70s

I say Oldboy, thanks to all the above speak of it, it was definitely worth watching!!! A little unbeleivable, and a generally sick plot with loads of good violence... I highly enjoyed it and can see why Quentin wouldn't produce it! It would likely have been banned in the states.
