Last 5 movies :)

Say Anything (1989): Cameron Crowe's directorial debut and yet another movie showing the genius of John Cusack.

Chinatown (1974): A Film Noir directed by Roman Polanski and starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. All ingredients for pure genius.

The Motorcycle Diaries (2004): Just watch it and be amazed.

Knocked Up (2007): The latest from comic genius Judd Apatow and an absolute riot (funnier than The 40 Year Old Virgin). One of the funniest movies I have seen in the last 5 years. Seth Rogan is my new favorite funny guy, second to Will Ferrell of course.

The Pianist (2002): Another masterpiece (of many) from director Roman Polanski. Starring Adrian Brody in one of his finest performances, watch "Dummy (2002)" for another. These two movies have made him a favorite actor of mine.

I haven't seen #2 or #5. But, 1, 3, and 4 are awesome!

Crazy, I've seen 2 and 5 but not 1, 3, and 4. I really love both 2 and 5.

so i was reading your profile.... saw the comment about clay. clay actually isn't dirt... and definitely isn't lacking water. it is soil with a highly complex structure that can have a very high water content. because the particles making it up are very small (less than 2 micrometers), the spaces in between are filled with ionic charges causing capillary action that holds the water much tighter than soils with higher sand or silt content. when the ground is saturated, clay is nearly 60% water. when it's dry enough for plants to wilt, it is still nearly 20% water. - from a nerdy potter and land/water engineer

I loved Knocked up and most of the movies on your list. It's good to see people appreciate good film.
