Il Postino (The Postman): This is an Italian movie that I love, my second favorite Italian movie after Life is Beautiful (Vita e Bella). This movie is about an island postman who becomes friends with the famous poet Pablo Neruda and from him learns about poetry, love and the beauty that surrounds him in his island home. I highly recomend it, it's very heart warming.

The Magnificent Seven: This movie was inspired by the Japanese movie The Seven Samurai, which I haven't seen but hope to see. I may have said this before but I'm not a huge fan of westerns, this however felt more like an action movie and I know that westerns technically fall into that category, I mean an action movie today. The movie has a star studded cast Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, other famous people who's names I don't remember but who's faces you'd recognize... America is a funny place and kind of awesome too, in America a Mongolian can be a cowboy and a German can be a Mexican.

Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb: Yes that really is the whole title of the movie. This is a black satire about the cold war. Peter Sellers stars in not one but three roles, it was originally going to be four but I think that'd probably be too much for anyone. An unauthorized air strike against the Russians has been set into action and seems impossible to stop, worse than that the Russians have a doomsday machine that will destroy everything on the earth if the Russians attack. A darkly comedic look at a infamous era in history with such memorable lines as "Gentlemen please, no fighting in the war room!" and a creepy German, Dr. Strangelove himself.

Into The Woods: Technically this is a play, however I've only ever seen this version which they recorded for video. Bernadette Peters is in this cast and Chip Zeins (that could be wrong). I quite enjoy this play, it's a bit of a satire on a bunch of fairy tales: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, etc. This show is incredibly funny, fairly sad, and makes you stop and think about moral issues. It's quite a show.

Up: I loved this movie, it was the best Pixar movie that I've seen to date, it's sweet and laugh out loud funny. If you haven't seen it, you totally should!
