Amazing Grace: This movie's been on my to see list for a while, and recently I've been reminded of it a few times to where I finally watched it and it's a wonderful movie, both a well crafted movie and a wonderful story being told of William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery in England.

About A Boy: I thought I'd posted about this movie already but perhaps it was one of the ones that got accidentally deleted. Anyway it's a movie about life, about growing up, and about needing other people in your life. Hugh Grant plays a man who doesn't have to work, who deems himself to be an island and essentially has not responsibilities in his life... that is until he meets a boy named Marcus. Marcus' life is pretty much the opposite, he and his mother live alone and live a more hippy lifestyle. Marcus is miserable in school where he doesn't fit in and miserable at home where his mother seems to suffer from depression and attempted to take her life. Together Marcus and Will (Grant's character) help each other, to grow up or to be able to be a kid. It's a movie that's quite funny despite the seriousness of some aspects.
