It's been a while since we've had any movie recommendations here. So I'll start a new thread.

We rented "Spellbound" last week and were, well, spellbound. I don't have much patience with movies and the theatrical arts in general, but I was on the edge of my cliff with this one. I loved it. The story traces the fates of eight children who qualify for the National Spelling Bee (OK, if it had been a skateboard championship I might not have been as interested ). It's got great character and plot development *and I learned a bunch of new words (my favorite was the headline on a NY tabloid).

What have y'all seen recently that was good?
