With the Oscars coming up next weekend, What's the best movie you've seen this year
The Five that Came to My Mind:

In the Valley of Elah
Into the Wild
Juno
Things We Lost in the Fire
Untraceable

What are yours? My husband and I want to go to the movies later.

4. A Mighty Heart was awesome and very under-rated and SICKO

I came out of that movie in tears because it made me so upset and angry. Hopefully, a Democratic President will address this issue next year.

I liked Gone, Baby Gone too

7. Loved "Atonement" hated "There will be blood" (I call it "There will be boredom")
Loved "Michael Clayton," will see anything with George Clooney in it. Also Tom Wilkinson was fabulous in it and should win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar but probably won't.

5. "Into the Wild" and "Juno" are both great.
I'm going to see "Persepolis" later today.

6. So far, 'Gone Baby Gone'
Haven't seen a lot of movies in theaters this year, but that one was extraordinary. I can't believe Ben Affleck directed it. :wow:
