dvd/film recommendations for xmas please

[wheelsonthebus]

we think tv sked looks rubbish this xmas and so have decided to stock up on dvds - rental or bought. what are the best recent films you have seen please? We loved capote and good night, good luck....

films we are looking at are

hidden
history of violence
walk the line
wolf creek
three burials of melquiades estrada
king kong

three burials of melquiades... was good.
Together, a swedish film, was funny and really good, if you don't mind subtitles. What about oldies but goodies like Fargo?
Amores Perros, also good (but Spanish- subtitles).
Volver.(Also Spanish, with penelope Cruz.)
I liked walk the line too.
Oh and Mrs Henderson was really good.
Vera Duckworth was great.
Must go do the bath routine but if I think of more I'll add them... BAbel was good but not rentable yet. I've heard It's Winter (Iranian, just out on DVD) is good.

oops. Drake, not Duckworth. sorry.

fab....we saw hidden. very interesting/intense/french. Think we need a mix of the heavy and silly. We can only manage subtitles if sober

vera duckworth the movie...great

in the past 2 or 3 months on dvd

The one about Ray Charles (Ray I think it's called)
Agree with Walk the Line
Hotel Rwanda (cried for an hour afterwards so maybe not v cheerful)

Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Behind Enemy Lines - watched it last night brilliant - Bosnia during the war
The Runaway Jury - grisham story
Over the Hedge
Jewel in the Crown - dvd of TV series
Another vote for Walk the Line - fantastic film
Memoirs of a Geisha also beautiful to watch
Kundun - about the Dalai Lama

And if you like 24, and haven't watched it on TV get the dvd's up to series 5 and watch the lot. I find it addictive.

Chronicles of Narnia
Da Vinci Code are all recent ones to DVD too.

tks alibauble - and hmv is doing a 3 for £20 on some of these films like ray and walk the line. hurrah!
