A "Hey I just watched a movie" thread

One of the other forums I go to has one of these threads and I've been turned on to some good movies that other regulars just watched. I was kind of surprised not to see a similar thread here (at least not that I could find.)
I just rewatched "Kinamand" - a cute drama about a Danish plumber who gets involved in an arranged marriage with a Chinese illegal. Good stuff (Netflix instant.)
So what have you folks watched recently?

I go through phases, honestly. Sometimes I watch at least one movie a day (and more than that on the weekends) and sometimes I go weeks without watching anything. When I get caught up in a TV show, my movie-watching dwindles.
Tonight I had some things to do around the house and some stuff to do for work, so I put in a couple movies I've seen a thousand times, just for the background noise. Varsity Blues was first and now it's Titanic
I'll get back to Lost tomorrow night. Or maybe just one episode before I go to bed....

With the library supplying most of viewing I watched all 14 seasons of Dallas nearly back to back. My average is 2 movies a day in addition to working my way through an entire TV series.
"Monsieur Ibrahim" - French / heartwarming - with Omar Sharif. I liked it a lot.
"Shower" - A really sweet Chinese lighthearted drama. I liked this one too.
A while back I went to see "The Eagle" a Roman Legion flick by the guy that did "Touching the Void" - what a disappointment.

If you are able to translate and find this movie, you are in for a treat......
The Tenth Circle - thought it was a thriller film, but no. I still can't tell if what the girl claimed happened really happened or not. But by the end of the film you wont care either. P.S. Kelly Preston can't act.

The dancing was horrible and killed any interest I may have otherwise had. It would be nice to see Winona Ryder in more prominent roles again.
It all fell into place for me after Googling why the movie didn't make a lot of sense and finding the blog of a sexual abuse victim.
Thought it was better then Prince Caspian, but still not as good as the first one.
All I wanted was a nice little horror film but no. In less than the first 2 minutes BAM! A closeup of sexual penetration. Full on. So I skip ahead a bit wondering if this was even going to be watchable. Nope. Looks like it should have been made in the 70's and reminds me of art house avant garde abstract crap with p0rn thrown in for shock value. I'm so disappointed in Willem Dafoe for taking the role and for using a body double.
Movie trailers give everything away but plot summaries on dvd's don't tell you enough. Apparently when the case said "graphic" that meant pornographic? Which is fine but who wants to see genital mutilation? Don't answer that.
