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.

There is a sequel to 'Before Sunrise'(1995), 'Before Sunset' (2004) with the same lead stars. Some consider this to be even better than the first one. Unfortunately, though i have both the movies, did'nt find the time to view them.

Nidhi, I would actually recommend seeing the two movies back to back. I found both of them to be extremely engaging, the latter reflecting (again very well written, I thought) how one starts having doubts about the future with every passing experience as against the comfortable confidence (is that a legitimate expression?) in the earlier movie when they were much younger. I would not pick one over the other - especially since I can and have them both! That said, it would be interesting to read your take on them. I am not good at writing reviews - or much else for that matter. I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use - Galileo Galilei
