I am going to go with Hitch. How about you?

19. not sure, but it's still in a lot of theaters -- at least the --
-- art houses.

There's a creepiness to it that mainstream audiences will find repulsive, but if you like Hitchcock, there's nothing in it to really bother you.

After poor Tippi Hedrin got pecked half to death by those birds, I came out of it prepared for just about anything!

It's a little edgy, a little creepy, with very clever twists.

20. Which of his other films would you liken it to?
or is it new territory altogether?

21. There's some of the narrative edge of ALL ABOUT MY --
-- MOTHER, but it's more autobiographical, more confessional.

Mostly newer territory, but in the way that Hitchcock is "new" by making the familiar odd.

When I walked out of the theater, I felt that I had experienced the events as a witness instead of watched it as a ticket-buyer.

18. So sad, wasn't it?
I can't believe the fucking Oscars didn't even nominate Hotel Rwanda for best picture. I think it's the best I've seen all year.

16. High Noon
Having two small kids at home limits how often I get to go out to the movies. Throw in the fact that movies are overpriced and that most movies coming out these days pretty much suck, I usually wait till they are out on video.

I want to see sideways.

I may rent Hotel Rwanda, but I usually just can't watch movies that look like they will depress me. This is why I have never watched Schindler's list.

So I rented the classic western High Noon. Had never seen it before. Very good movie. If you like westerns.

Incredible movie. It is the best picture of the year, no matter what the Oscars say. Very moving, disturbing and inspiring.
