GuiltyGear, I'll have to check out The Wolves of Kromer.

ManMachine23, I forgot about Run Lola Run. So much so that I can't even remember what it's about except that I loved it.

Timgoblue, I love Contact!

Jarhead5536, Sophie's Choice is brilliant but damn hard to return to more than a few times.

And Creature, I love me some Wilder too. Might he be best director ever?

More,more !!!

Yes I know it's tough but Streep's performance is THE acting tour de force of all of our lifetimes. The climactic scene at the train arrival in Auschwitz is so real as to be almost unwatchable, yet we watch...

Dude, had to respond to your comment re: meryl, was a prev. forum about whether she's the best actress. you said exactly what I did, that it was excellent, but I could never watch the movie again...I cried like a baby at the end...and rightfully so...not just for her acting prowess, but for the knowledge that what the movie depicts actually happened. THAT is the devastating part.
