I rarely watch new movies nowadays - I need to be in the right kind of mood.

I did see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I loved it. Johnny Depp is always cool to watch and I am looking forward to Corpse Bride.

I was glad to see Eat Drink Man Woman show up here-it is profound, sweet, sad and funny. It's one of my favorites.

If you want to see a unique foreign film that is also a musical - rent The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (Les Parapluies de Cherbourg)-it takes place from 1956-58 during the Algerian-French war and was one of Catherine Deneuve's first roles. What makes this unique is that all of the dialogue is sung (don't let that stop you from watching!).

For OrangeBrat (you sound like you're an Audrey Hepburn fan-yes or no?)-
I love Charade with Audrey and Cary Grant

For those who didn't like Mr and Mrs Smith with Brangelina - the original Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard is worth checking out.

Finally, if you want great obscence humor - Clerks (37!!!), Mall Rats and Dogma by Kevin Smith.

Enjoy!
