Must see Movies

Hi Ragers,

Well, when we're not raging, we're lounging. Even we need sometime to recover from all the raging we continue to do in our 40s.   So in our downtime, we watch movies (mostly independent films of course) and we wanted to give your our list of "must sees."  They are as follows . . . .

1. Adaptation -- One of my all-time favorites! Based on Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief. Meryll Streep is amazing.  If you haven't seen this one, rent it. It's all about orchids.

2. Ruby Sparks -- I just watched this one. It's by the same director of Little Miss Sunshine and it's so captivating and fast moving. It made me cry at the end too -- a rarity.

3. The Door in the Floor -- Based on John Irving's wonderful book A Widow for One Year. Such a creative book. Kim Bassinger and Jeff Bridges are amazing.

4. Midnight in Paris -- A great great and recent Woody Allen pic that takes you into the Parisian life of Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein in the 1920s.  But anything Woody Allen does is brilliant. Also check out Annie Hall and Manhattan.  We also loved Vicky, Cristina Barcelona.

5. Being John Malkovich -- So weird, so creative.  This is an older one, but I loved love it. Catherine Keener is amazing.

6. Best in Show -- If you like dogs, you'll love this one.  Parker Posey, my fav, is hysterical as always.

More best movies to come, but this will get you started!
