Babel, Traffic, 11:14, The Nines and, I guess to some extent, Vantage Point and probably Burn After Reading. I like movies like that too. Thought 21 Grams was excellent.
Bellissimo! Nuovo cinema Paradiso (1988)
If your wife is pissed at you and you have kids- Dear Frankie (2004)
If you have materialistic kids-Children of Heaven
Best Paul Newman movie you may not have seen- Nobody's Fool
Quirky Scandanavian film- My Life As A Dog
Just for the cinematography- Shi mian mai fu (2004)
Interesting German film- Lola rennt (1998)
The best 68 year old comedy you will ever see- His Girl Friday (1940)
