I really liked Lost in Translation and the more I see it, the more I like it. I'll do the explanation for you....
It's about disatisfaction in life, miscommunication and the sense of alienation - exacerbated by the foreign sterility of Tokyo. Bill Murray and Charlotte Johansson were great. And while there is no ultimate turning points or drama, the messages were subtle and delivered in a sophisticated manner.

You're right Amara it was very interesting and had an original story to it, btw did anyone get to know what Murray said to Johansson in her ear at the end? Even the people asking Bill last year at the Oscars couldn't get an answer.
Also did any of you check out the documentary The Promises. I heard this is one very good work of art, it's about a dozen of jewish and palestinians kids that get to play together for about 2 weeks and then 3-4 years later they are asked by the director of the movie if they want to do a reunion of some sort and things get more complicated from there on. Anyways I didn't see it yet but I heard it's a very powerful documentary that basically shows both sides of the stories.
Peace

I can't remember, but has Hero been mentioned?
That movie is stunning. I'm not one for getting excited about camera shots & the like, but some of the visuals this movie presents are amazing.
The plot is interesting, with a refelctive tale being told from different points of view all the while the situation at hand is still pending.
Some nice sequences of martial arts & swordplay for those interested, but overall it's more of a visual experience & philosophy-based movie.
Highly recommended.

There is a lot of wisdom that can be derived from a look at human emotions.
A large proportion of so-called wisdom is in direct relation to emotions so you could say we're looking at the inverse.
And if you want the standard of the thread to be higher, maybe you should provide detailed reasons/analysis with your choices.

Vanilla Sky - A man's life is changed by real love and a freak car accident.
Girl, Interupted - A young girl is shown the world of female mental institutions and finds some real interesting characters.
Hero - A story of perspective (truth and lies) and ultimatley forgiveness and mercy/peace.
American Beauty - A young man finds beauty in seemingly ugly/unfortunate/hectic/trajic circumstances. This movie is really about God in the world.
Peace.
