Good call on Thank You For Smoking.

I didn't like Cars, though. Just watched it yesterday. Maybe I'll mellow over time, but for some reason, this one just didn't grab me. It may have been the whole Larry the Cable Guy backlash thing...

And I'm hoping Pan's Labyrinth filters down to BF,E. Really looking forward to it....

You are getting better now Steve. For once I agree with you for the most part. I haven't seen Little Children or Children of Men either and heard they are great. But The Departed and Thank you for Smoking are my top comedy and drama of the year. Would have liked to see Little Miss Sunshine on your list but nobody's perfect...
