The Other Side of Heaven: This movie is about Elder John Groberg and his LDS mission to Tonga. A lot of movies about or made by Mormons tend to be on the cheesy side, and while this one is a little bit it's much better. The movie is based on facts (I don't know enough about it to know how closely they followed what happened but I feel like it's very close.) The movie is filmed...well I don't know that it's actually Tonga but it's in the Pacific Islands somewhere and it's breath takingly beautiful. Elder Groberg went to Tonga in the 50s when most people were fairly unfamiliar with Tonga, he spent his mission on a small island. This movie is quite exciting, amazing things happened to Elder Groberg. If you are unfamiliar with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (also known as Mormons) this movie is a good way to learn more.

The Sandlot 2: As far as this movie is a continuation made several years after the original move, it's not too bad, that being said you might as well just stick with the original movie.

Howard's End: I'd heard about this movie and I'm a fan of Emma Thompson, however I didn't enjoy this movie, I found it terribly depressing. I also don't really understand this movie and I'm sure that doesn't help matters any.

Just Like Heaven: This movie is a cute, funny and utterly impossible chick flick.
