And American Beauty over Cider House? No way.
I read "Cider House Rules", didn't teach it but it was on the AP list, it was an excellent movie as was "An Officer and a Gentleman"

Agree Russ "Avatar" was groundbreaking in 3D, also saw the new "Alice in Wonderland", 3D eh, and "Toy Story 3" in 3D,

I am impressed with the way technology improves movies, but still think the quality of the acting has to be there, in addition to plot, sub-plot, characterization, conflict, theme etc, okay I'll stop now
