I've heard from a lot of people that Napoleon Dynamite was good. My taste in movies is a little off so I'm probably not a good one to answer! LOL

Good Will Hunting
Michael
Meet the Fockers

I loved the book Big Fish - I read it while waiting for the movie to come out on DVD so I could see it - I was so upset/ dissapointed with the film.
