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?

Also delves a bit into the coexistence between Islam and Christianity along with the division between Islam and militant Islam.
The acting was great but I can't say that I enjoyed it very much. Then again, I was expecting something totally different. Instead of a nice gangster movie, it was a character study of sorts.
Hilarious movie if you are into "British" comedy.
This line from the IMDB review sums it up quite nicely:
Nice cast with Tom Wilkinson, Simon Peg, Andy Serkis and Tim Curry.

Saved to my Netflix queue.
Interesting. Jim Carey ad Ewan McGregor as lovers, based on a true story. 6 out of 10 stars.
I don't know about his scratching theory. But I was wondering how you scratch yourself in a place so difficult to reach.

Thought it was better then Prince Caspian, but still not as good as the first one.
Also, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Not as good as I thought it would be. I went in not knowing what to expect - didn't know the story or anything like that.
The Big Chill - Solid acting, great 80's haircuts, really took me back to the 80's...loved it
Working Girl - Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver are lights out in this...oh and that Harrison Ford guy isnt bad either. classic 80s flick.
Don't know how I managed to stumble across this movie, but god, I am sooo glad that I did. I was completely mesmerized by it but I honestly have no idea why. It just kind of grabbed me and sucked me in. Maybe it was the cello ?
Anyways, for those into subtitles, I would highly recommend it.
BTW, unlike just about everything else I seem to watch, this one did NOT involve rape, robbery, murder, blood, gore, bullets, swords, criminals, drugs or the police. Yep, none of the above and it was still one of the better movies that I have watched in a while.

The same guy that did this soundtrack also did "Kikujiro" - it's another heartwarming one (with some laugh out loud oddball stuff.)

"Drunken Angel" - Not my favorite Kurosawa film.
"The Man Without a Past" - A Finnish comedic drama. Pretty good.
"Mostly Martha" - The German film that the remake "No Reservations" was based on. It was OK.
"Marwencol" - A fairly recent documentary - it was kind of sad and chilling and boring at the same time.
