In the name of the Father (1993). I saw this old one on cable. It is a great movie based on a true story of how an irish family is wrongly implicated & imprisoned as irish terrorists. The biased, uncompromising and unrelenting approach of the British Police, shows them in poor light, as they were aware of the actual terrorists. The trials & tribulations that the innocents undergo in proving their innocence after 15 years is the story line. Great acting by Daniel Day Lewis.

Rumor of Angels(2000): A sentimental movie about the friendship between a boy & an old lady(Vanessa Redgrave) who helps him in getting over the tragedy of having lost his mother in an accident.

Just like Heaven(2005): A sweet romantic movie. The romance is between the ghost of a lady in coma & the new tenant in her apartment. It stars Reese Witherspoon.

We own the night(2007): Cops & Drug lords stuff starring Mark Wahlburg & Joaquim Phoenix. It is the routine hollywood stuff.

I am still to see the following 2007 movies: 'Eastern Promises', 'Gone Baby Gone', 'The Assassination of Jesse James', No Country for Old men', 'He was a Quiet Man', 'In the Valley of Elah', 'Into the Wild', 'Michael Clayton' & 'Atonement'. I have all these on divx format. The convenience of having a standalone dvd player that plays divx too is that one can record 6 english movies of good quality on a single dvd disc & watch them at leisure.

Stardust(2007): The movie has everything in it that makes it enjoyable & entertaining. Great visuals. Even in a bit role Robert De Niro performs well. Michele Pfeiffer still looks as beautiful as ever, doesn't show her age. Entertainment for the whole family.

The Scent of a Woman(1992). I had seen this a long time back & i saw it again on cable. That's a great movie. Al Pacino all the way through, acting par excellence. He has performed the blind Lt. Colonel's role with great perfection & finesse. It makes one think how much of time he must have spent to observe & practice a blind person's daily routine. Imagine a blind man doing the Tango with a lovely lady, that's a lovely picturization in the movie. Some of the dialogues in the school trial at the end are awesome. The movie may be slow but truly class stuff.
