Very recently, "Let Me In". After suffering through vampires that sparkle in the daylight, it's comforting to see an extremely well made vampire movie. I would highly recommend the original, "Let The Right One In" if, that is, you can sit through English dubbing or subtitles (the film's originally in Swedish).

I thought "Let Me In" was well done. I would love to see the original.

"Being There" is superb! Jerzy Kozinski is an amazing writer and the film is a wonderful adaptation of his novel. The casting is excellent. The music fits perfectly. The central themes of randomness and chance, rigged government, and the way we see what we want or need to see in a situation or a person despite the reality are all cleverly developed. I could go on forever on this film! Truly, a masterpiece.
