I think you're off about 10 years with that recommendation...
personally, I can't find anything in the last 10 years worth recommending besides Pixar movies... I liked Sin City, but can't 'recommend' it to too many people... Oh Brother Where Art Thou has to be the only film I could recommend to just about anyone from the last decade -----Original Message----- From: Phillip W.

Robert De Niro and Robin Williams who have both done a lot of garbage films in the last twenty years, were both brilliant. Every time I see that film, I wish Penny Marshall had continued to direct and that the aforementioned actors had continued to act. ----- Original Message ----- From: Franc To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2010 10:42 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Film recommendations of the past ten years? Since no one has picked this one, I'd like to add my vote for CHICAGO as the best musical produced within the past 10 years and probably within the last forty years.

I have been SO busy the past ten years that I have seen few movies (which is funny, because in the 40 years before that I saw many thousands of movies). Part of it is because I much prefer the "theater" experience and I live in a small town with limited choices. But my question to you is, "What films made in the past ten years would you HIGHLY recommend as being truly exceptional?" Know that I like movies of all genres, but I have a strong preference for well written movies, and ones with really good pacing, and few slow or throwaway scenes.
