Raising Arizona (Cohen Brothers) my favourite ever film and great for Mums - hilarious story about infertile couple kidnapping a baby from a family of quins/sextuplets, can't quite remember. Also starring the absolutely gorgeous Nicholas Cage.

CD, Hotel Rwanda is good. I only watched it because Joaquin phoenix is in it, but it is a thought provoking film, had me in tears at one point

I watched Hotel Rwanda last night and it was amazing (in a sad way but a thought provoking film portrayed very sensitively)

Schindler's List.

I guess it should be an important film really like Amistad or a great war film, or yes indeed Schindlers List.
