For the last 6 months I have been living in a parallel universe (motherhood) and have been so preoccupied with my dear son that I have no idea what films I have missed. Now he's sleeping through the night I have some time on my hands in the evening. So what films from the last six months would you recommend?

The holiday was a good chick flick (but my hubby liked it, too)
we also found a great movie at the store called Pursuit of happiness with Will Smith....really great!

Congrats on the sleeping though the night....It took my son a year to get his schedule right with mine.

Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Pi, Requiem for a dream.
should keep you quiet for a couple of hours.

movie's I watched a couple of times in the last 6 months, I don't know when they were released.

Just watched The holiday ,was nice romantic film.
if yr into Love actually sort of films.why not

I'd recommend "the Big White with Robin Williams, Holly Hunter and Woody Harrelson. A reviewer on imdb called it "depressingly funny". I loved that comment because it's totally true

I liked "Click". It was funny and sad in some parts. I even cried

"Night at the museum" is really entertaining. Again, a comedy.

I can't recommend any serious movies that I really liked just yet, because there are very few. "Requiem for a dream" has been mentioned. It's a cool one, but takes a strong person to watch it. Psychodelic to say the least. I loved it.

I can recommend 'Babil' was quite good movie and also 'Stranger Than Fiction 'has an orginal story..
I've seen 'Holiday' was a typcal romantic/girlish film but still ok..

The Holiday is fcuking atrocious. As is Babel. Just saying.

Anybody been to see Happy Feet ??, it came to the cinema's last Friday and would like to see it but does anyone know if its showing in Turkish or English ?

It's on in both languages. Check the local listings.

Thanks for your suggestions. I can't believe how out of touch I am, I haven't heard of any of them apart from RSA's suggestions.

Little Children with Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, and Jennifer Connelly is impressive. Has anyone seen this yet? It's incredibly thought-provoking, especially if you're in a long-term relationship. Wouldn't call it a "feel good film", but it's well worth seeing. Only caveat- be prepared for an intense 2+ hours.

Babel seriously sucked, in my opinion.

40 year old virgin had a few laughs, and was different.
The best i have seen in the past couple of months on DVD were "The Prestige", "DeJavu", "The Island"
"Wedding Crashers" was pretty funny

Some of my older favorites were:
American History X
The Usual Suspects
Catch me if you can
