1. Where The Wild Things Are - A lot of people I know were disappointed with this movie. It certainly was not the book. It was visually stunning and really felt the inner workings of a child's mind brought to life, but it reminds the audience that kid's minds aren't always the innocent lands of rainbows an happiness that we act like they are. It explores loneliness, depression and violence and how they can make keeping a family together difficult and even frightening. Go and see it, but I wouldn't bring any kids younger than 8 with you.
2. The Fall - I have 2 words for this movie: eye candy. The plot is simple - a little girl in the hospital meets a man who tells her an epic story in order to get what he wants. The movie is simply stunningly gorgeous. Filmed all over the world with little to no CGI, the girl's vision of the story unfolds before you and takes your breath away. Find someone with a nice big HDTV and watch this.
3. Toki o kakeru shôjo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time) - This is a movie that will win over even the most anti-anime people you know. It's an innocent story about time travel and love in high school. You laugh, you cry, you don't have to wrap your mind around insane time paradoxes (I'm looking at you Primer!), and you will love it. Convince your buddies to read subtitles and watch this one.
