Life is Beautiful (1998) - This movie absolutely floored me. I have a friend who has been trying to get me to see this since it came out over ten years ago, and now I see why. This is a fresh, original story about a family in the midst of the Holocaust, but this movie decides to take another route. Life is Beautiful is really a tragic comedy that focus on hope, love, and the human spirit. Guys don't worry, it's definitely not a chick flick! The beginning is a lot of fun and has a sort of 1950's film style to it. This movie is funny, tense, heart-wrenching, and wonderful, and is not to be missed.
Magnolia (1999) - Thanks go to my wife for reminding me that I did see this one. Wow, not a good start for Magnolia considering I didn't even remember seeing it. I do remember thinking it was ok, and that Tom Cruise was very funny as the author of a book named "Seduce and Destroy." His motivational speeches to men who want to do better with the other sex (I took that down a peg or two!) are definitely a highlight. "Respect the cock!"

I'd like you to greet me with "bongiorno principessa!" every morning from now on. :)
Also, remember the raining frogs at the end of Magnolia? Such a weird reference to a plague..
p_girl I can greet you with that phrase. I'll even get that hat he has and put on his shit-grinning smile too!
I don't remember the frogs, but that's only because my mind has seduced and destroyed that movie from my memory.
