I highly recommend The Departed. LIfe is Beautiful is amazing as well. I think Juno and Little Miss Sunshine were both a little overrated, but still good. oh! and Sense and Sensibility - Ang Lee makes gorgeous movies (going by that, you should see Brokeback too)

my two cents :)

I have no words. There are even too many for me to yell at you for not seeing. lol

You haven't seen Pulp Fiction? You might be dead to me now :P

Okay, I cannot chew you out because I have seen way fewer from this list than you have. But still, here are my recommendations :-P

Depressing but worth it:
The Departed
Brokeback Mountain
Saving Private Ryan
Million Dollar Baby
The Killing Fields

Cute and/or very funny:
Juno (possibly overrated but definitely cute)
Erin Brockovich
As Good as it Gets

More than anything I'm just shocked you haven't seen ET!

My mom hates it, so I've never seen it. :)

(You should really watch The Full Monty...it's hilarious. But leave American Beauty alone. I kinda hated it. And watch Brokeback Mountain and Babel for sure. I hated The Departed for some reason. Atonement was frustrating but pretty good. Juno was cute. You and I have seen the same nominees for 2008. Yes.)
