TITLE: Into the Wild
DESCRIPTION: A true to life story of Chris McCandless. A man who left all his possessions and went to the Alaskan wilderness for a few months to find out what life is without the shackles of materialism and shallow existense. He died in the end.
WHY I LIKE IT: Everything in this movie resonates with me. One line stood out - Happiness is real when shared. It made me cry. Great book too.

CATEGORY: CLassic
TITLE: Ace In The Hole
DESCRIPTION: Made in 1951 starring Kirk Douglas. A washed up big city newspaper reproter traveling through New Mexico happens upon a trapped miner. Seeking an opportunity to get back in the limelight, he manipuates the miner, his family, and the whole town, to his own destruction.
WHY I LIKE IT: This movie is over 50 years old and it's still relevant to today. It absolutely scorches the corruption and bias of the media. Kirk Douglas is awesome too.

TITLE: Out of Africa
DESCRIPTION: Woman (Meryl Streep) marries a friend when she's considered too old to be marriage material and moves to Africa to start a dairy farm. Divorces and falls in love with (Robert Redford) a free spirit. Gorgeous scenery, beautiful musical score and good love story (not mushy). It's long, but well worth it.

Good call on this one - a great, great film. I absolutely loved this movie.
Another one (in an entirely different genre) that people should check out is "Lars and the Real Girl". The premise is odd but the movie plays out beautifully demonstrating love, tolerance, and acceptance. This movie is one of a very small number of films that portrays the church as leading the way in showing love and acceptance - which was surprising and refreshing.
So many to mention, but I'll just mention one more here - "Junebug". This movie blew me away with it's realistic depiction of family, relationships, and struggle. This is what Roger Ebert says about it - "Junebug is a great film because it is a true film. It humbles other films that claim to be about family secrets and eccentricities. It understands that families are complicated and their problems are not solved during a short visit, just in time for the film to end. Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with." This film blew me away.
